A BIG THANKS TO MY FOLLOWERS:
I have so much to be thankful for. My followers are with me for over 32 years, both domestic and international. I am especially grateful to Africans on the continent and in America who have supported me all these many years. As I have often said in the past, I have never asked anyone to follow me. Thanks to my friends and family background, I was always taught to be independent. Thanks to both of my parents parents. Over the years I have grown and changed. My mind has always been open to all outside. I would never say that I am absolutely anything. Experience has also taught me that there's both good and evil. I often think about things that I did as a child that I would never do now. An example of this, is how are you to play with snakes, frogs, lizards, and etc. I have been for ced to travel down. So many different entities of American governments trying to seek justice as of 90-year-old black woman in America. Many times I have been forced to live beneath my standards simply because of white privilege. This gave a certain group the right to make decisions that had nothing to do with my constitutional rights. I often felt as if I was a non-person. The only relief that I have was through the therapeutic process of relenting anger.
Unfortunately, when you live in America and you're black, you are supposed to pretend that everything is all right, regardless of how it may be hurting you. I have the experience of my first trip outside of America. Only an African America can explain that feeling. Believe it or not I had so much pent up anger that I could not wait to get to Africa like I hear most African Americans say, my feelings came in Jamaica. These feelings were so overwhelming until when I did go to Africa. I have never had the same feeling that I had in Jamaica.
To summarize my point this is the subliminal pain from racism that I am now aware of.
