Excerpt: Losing The Race
Written by bismark2, on 21-05-2001 15:33
Peace and blessing from Ghana...
Hi my name is Bismark Agbemble a college student (VCU) majoring in economics. I was born and raised in Ghana a place where my heart longs for. I've been in the states for 11 years (too long). I love God because he loved me first. Well enough about me. Lets talk about losing the race. I am getting straight to the point. "we has a people can't face the truth". My question is why does everything has to be a black thing. And we has a people intead to blame our short comings on society, the white man, because I am black, I have no money, my father, drugs. Out of that entire list I did not mention the word "ME". One thing about African Americans is that we blame our problems on somebody else. In response to John Mcwhorter's essay and book I am not hundred percent supportive of his claims towards our race. But I honor him for coming out and stating the truth because from how the nation and the african community has responed it shows that this is an issue that "we" has a people need to think about it and FIND a solution for it. I knew up in a rich neighborhood, but parents both worked 60 hour jobs just to provide for my family and where we were living. It says in the bible pslams 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, a man sharpens a man. And what that means to me is, we act and become like the people we hang around. For African Americans for those who want to succeed are consider to be acting white and for those who receive F's on report cards, and into drups and speak a languge that nobody can understand because that same person invented a mintue ago, or pulling their pants down to the ankles and gold inside their mouth is consider "keeping it real" than my brothers and sisters count me out. Because I am a black man not a nigger. Same goes for white people there are white men and white trash. So we need to stop talking about who is what and who has what and starting educating out youth on what it means to have dreams and not allowing the color of our skin be a road block because besides the color of our skin (just a freakin color) others are going to find ways to limit us. We as a people need to learn from the past, and reflect on it, and move on.
To all me brothers and sisters in the eyes of God, we will be ok, just as long as we believe in something greater than ourselves.
Thanks for reading.
