Stolen Voices
Imagine being born without a care in the world
And then BOOM!!!
You are born BLACK.
Our innocence was snuffed away from us like we never mattered. Our voices never mattered.
Please excuse me for a moment while I vent for the voices that were STOLEN from those who were taken away so suddenly from the Melanin in our skin that God breathed glory on to us.
Since the beginning of time we were hated because we are a Chosen and beautiful people.
Our ancestors were raped, beaten, spat on, and sold because we housed God’s gifts and blessings that God specifically had for us.
They say that mass murderers have and had mental issues and they needed help but what about my people?
They beat our sons, grandsons, & uncles, raped our women and that caused division between my people.
Educating us and feeding us lies. Snuffing away our innocence.
Letting us know that one was greater than the other
in their mental state.
If you were “too black” you weren’t good enough. In good, ole Massa’s eyes they picked cotton to keep Massa happy. If they were light skinned, you were equal to them. They worked in the house for Massa because they couldn’t vent.
Still we couldn’t get that burden from never being equal off our backs.
They hated us because God showed us favor.
We vented and exercised our First Amendment right
by not going to the back of the bus, marching along those dirt roads, marching hand in hand, and going to all-white schools.
