"YOU PEOPLE" Search: Got my OWN mic, stage, key, seat & door! by Marshata Caradine

20 Years?

The meeting of my babies JERRY AND JOSH!

2026 BLACK HISTORY theme is A Century of Black History Commemorations.

How must we do this COLLECTIVELY if we:

NOT look back

NOT know

NOT understand

NOT care

NOT desire

NOT initiate

NOT read

NOT inquire

NOT think

NOT write

NOT commune

NOT fellowship

NOT interconnect

NOT reconnect

NOT connect

NOT wish

NOT want

NOT appreciate

NOT celebrate our rich BLACK contributions, competitiveness, abilities, resilience, dominance, determination, advancements, curiosity, successes, exceptionalism, inventions innovation and genius?

This brings to light the saying SLAVERY is white history, how we survived it is BLACK HISTORY
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED IGNORANCE
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED ILLITERACY
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED OBSTACLES
IN SPTE OF LEGISLATED BRUTALITY
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED HARDSHIPS
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED POVERTY
IN SPITE OF LEGISLATED OPPRESSION……..

BLACK WOMEN STILL CONCEIVED, NURTURED, PROTECTED, BIRTHED, NURSED RAISED GUIDED, AND REDIRECTED CHILDREN OF MORALITY, RESPECT, DIGNITY REGARD, EXCEPTIONALISM, MERIT, SUCCESS, ADVANCEMENT, EXCELLENCE, BRILLIANCE, GIFTEDNESS, HIGHLY SKILLED AND INNATELY TALENTED ASSETS TO AMERICA.

UBUNTU IS I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE OF WHICH MEANS WE ARE INTERCONNECTED TO OUR BLACK HISTORY, BLACK FAMILY AND BLACK COMMUNITY

The WISDOM AND WAYS of our BLACK elders were so profound , intuitive and threatening to white dominance, they HAD to “GIVE OUR BLACK CHILDREN FREEDOM FROM IT, FROM THEIR BLACK ELDERS.”

Our BLACK elders understood we had to be raised differently and had different laws and it was a communal effort to guide us.

They were painted as domineering, overbearing , strict, controlling, oppressive and authoritarian leadership because they had high standards and expectations, expected superiority and excellence and we had to be mentally, physically, spiritually, morally, ethically disciplined and emotionally strong.

Today they have us weakened all in the guise of living “like kids” ” being free to make their OWN choices” and having autonomy over their own lives as we are burying our BLACK BABIES and imprisoning our BLACK BABIES younger and younger at rates our people have NEVER seen, socially engineered and by design.
