Accountability

I did not choose my birth.

I did not choose my color.

I did not live for 400 years

as a Black slave or an Israelites

Slave, or even under the British

Colonial Rule in India.

I have never owned another

human being nor would I ever want to.

The past history of the world is not

the fault of the present so stop casting

the blame where it should not be.

Rise above the past and go beyond.

Learn from the harsh and wrong ways so that we won’t repeat them in the future.

I am not my mother.

You are not your father.

We are supposed to be better.

People of color have been doing it for a while now with out whining about slavery

for years now and are doing quite well.

Stop falling into this blame game and

quit allowing other people to make you think it’s the color of your skin, because baby, if you have the fortitude the knowledge and the perseverance to back it up, then nothing can stop you from doing what you want to do.

I did not choose my birth.

I did not choose my color.

I do choose how to live.
