PEACE EVERYONE, AS YOU KNOW I REALLY NEVER EVER WATCH B.E.T BUT LAST NIGHT I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH THE TV AND CAME ACROSS THE SHOW A HOT GHETTO MESS. THE ONE SEGMENT THAT I SAW WAS WHEN THEY WERE ASKING BLACK PEOPLE WHAT WAS THE (EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION). THEY HAD TO ASK LIKE TWELEVE PEOPLE AND ONLY ONE PERSON KNEW. I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESPONSE OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO DIDN'T KNOW THE QUESTION. THEY WERE LAUGHING AND SAYING "IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION" OR " I NEVER HEARD OF IT. I'M NOT ONE TO JUDGE ANYBODY BECAUSE I HAVE MY OWN HANG UPS AND IM STRIVING TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON EVERYDAY. AS WE ALL "SHOULD" KNOW THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS A DOCUMENT IN WHICH DECLARED THE FREEDOM OF SLAVES IN THE TERRITORYS OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. AS A PEOPLE WE ALL NEED TO STEP OUR GAME UP IN CERTAIN ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE. AS YOU LOOK AT OTHER RACES SUCH AS ASIANS, INDIAN, AND EUROPEANS THEY KNOW THEIR HISTORY ABOUT THEIR CULTURE. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN CERTAIN AREAS ARE LACKLUSTER, BUT WE CAN'T USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE. JUST LIKE THEY DUMP DOPE IN OUR COMMUNITY, THEY ALSO PLACE LIBRARIES IN THEM FOR FREE. IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SHOVE OUR OWN HISTORY DOWN OUR THROAT. NOW IF THEY ASKED EVERYONE ON THAT SHOW WHO IS "JACOB THE JEWELER" OR "NAME THAT RAPPER" WOULD THEY HAVE ANSWERED CORRECT??????


PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYBODY REGARDLESS OF COLOR, GENDER, OR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION....

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER,
