St_Clinton Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Love For Ancestors By St_Clinton I find it amazing the lack of Love We have for our Ancestors in the Black community today. I wonder what our Ancestors would have to say if they heard the words that we use today. We use a word today Which brought Terror in the form of the KKK But walk and listen in any community today and you will hear the word used during the night and during the day Each time that I hear someone use that word today. I realize that they are spitting on the grave of Martin, Malcolm, Harriet, Marcus, Jesse Owens, Paul Robeson, Jack Johnson, Rosa Parks Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglas, Josephine Baker Shirley Chisholm, Langston Hughes, Billie Holiday, Crispus Attucks, Thurgood Marshall, Medgar Evers, The slaves and so many others I am sure that they are sad to hear that word used as it is today. To those who feel that your use of the word is all that, you are giving the power to the Slave Masters again to take that bullwhip to your slave ancestors back.

Troy Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I hear the word on a daily basis myself. Walking down the streets of Harlem you can't avoid hearing the word. But as you walk down these streets, I have to say using the n-word is relatively low on the list of priorities of things that need to be addressed. If you listen to the hip-hop station on Sirrius radio. You will hear the n-word in virtually every "song." Once, when struck by the copious use of the word' I recall listening to 10 songs in a row but before I stopping counting. I just found that so crazy the the word would be used to frequently in the music we produce. But then again we don't really control what is broadcast over Sirrius, do we? Thanks for sharing you message here St-Clinton. You are doing God's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
