How a Racist Truly Feels

Until we understand that racism is not kind or cruel but kind and cruel! Until we stop supporting a system that overwhelmes the daily existence of every human being involved we will never rightfully gain our resources or dignity!


We will forever be desegregated in a system that only allows us in by their rules! We need segregation in a undiscriminatory way, where we can eat, sleep, dance, live, mourn, grow, and succeed where we like but have our own establishments and structures that represent our cultures, beliefs, and flaws. 


Until we sacrifice our dependency and build our own conglomerate of media, radio, tv, malls, healthcare, restaurants, military, and schools. There will never be fairness or equal injustice.

Until a white child, women, or man yearns to be included in our establishments and infrastructures and not based solely off the reason to remove it from our control we will never have freedom! Until we stop supporting the system that suppresses us and not give one more dime to the master who never knew what it meant to be a slave, we will forever be slaves. 


Either rich, poor, light, dark, tall, short, fat, thin, famous, or otherwise. Until we completely support ourselves we will always be the nigga striving to be excepted by the troglodyte who never wanted us involved in the first place, but because we pleaded, begged and marched they came up with a way we could come in but still serve their every need!


Until we implement loyalty and action they will forever win this race!

Directed by Ed Bell and Thomas Lennon- Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narrative.

Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narrative. 

Unchained Memories is a 2003 documentary film about the stories of former slaves interviewed during the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers' Project and preserved in the WPA Slave Narrative Collection. This HBO film interpretation directed by Ed Bell and Thomas Lennon is a compilation of slave narratives, narrated by actors, emulating the original conversation with the interviewer. The slave narratives may be the most accurate in terms of the everyday activities of the enslaved, serving as personal memoirs of more than two thousand former slaves. The documentary depicts the emotions of the slaves and what they endured. The "Master" had the opportunity to sell, trade, or kill the enslaved, for retribution should one slave not obey.
