In this life I wonder what my future will hold. Around me I surround myself with people dubbed as friends. I honestly could only depect a few as true friends, though I wish I could assure myself that all were. Many people have wronged me in my life as it has been sense birth. From little things to big things, but this has taught me that I must watch my every step and every word. Many people do not think before they speak and when speaking against me they dont think how I feel and that I am here to help make them happy, because I know that many of my friends say how they hate waking up, hate going to school and hate their parents. I love waking each day alive and not in the mist of a war. I love going to school because I love becoming educated, this progression is the most positive in life. And my parents would do anything to help me although our views of life and its history differ. I wonder how things will change for me in this future, I look at peoples history in the past and how even at their highest point they have been shot dead or have been picked away by people till they are nothing. Many people in this life are afraid of the truth in education of their world and the global world, it is hard for them to accepts different concepts that hold truth. I wish everyone could get along peacefully, when we hear this chant in America it usually only rings a bell in a small percentage of the overall population. I wish for global peace, but this is difficult because people canoot grasp this idea because it conflicts with their idea of a peaceful world, they can only thing of it as peaceful if everyone shares the same beliefs. We all know this will never happen in'till the Almighty comes down if that be the case, only then will a truth be known globally and it will forever change the mind of men. I will not deny my God, though I will say I may not believe the real truth whatever that maybe.
People these days cause violence not because of their righteous beliefs, but because of greif and greed. Many of the terrorist feel the reason they must destroy America is because that land has oppressed them. In all actuality it was not the land or the people but usually the government. And the leaders control the insurgents for power and land, because their most unholy greed. People of the U.S.A dont understand that the hole time they have been busy living their life, the US government have been making backwards deals and it is only now in these past years to the day you read this that we are being retaliated on. If instead of making deals and supplying different causes in these now terrorist countrys we spent our tax money on supply of education to these people, in this time we might be closer to global peace. We are looked at as the bullys to the other countrys most being third world cause we have basically put out the message that we can do whatever we want, which is true, but as we see only for so long.
We have problems in the U.S.A that should have been settled along time ago but are now virtually uncontrolable. Starting with the problems of races, first I would like to say a racist dubbed different races with names. Negro, the word used for a black person was not made by a black person, but by a colonialist. This word brainwashed Africans to think less of themselves compared to the so called dominant white person. White America wonders why do the black peoples hate them and have for so long become militant and hence became the reason for higher crime rates. Well after they were inslaved for hundreds of years after coming either against their will or because they were tricked came freedom. Freedom after slavery was segregation, the thing were the white man literally beat the thought into the minds of the African race that they were less than a man and that they would never become more than a lower class man. During the time of segregation the black man was never able to better himself due to low wages and harrasment. So after segregation many were still denied jobs, so they dwell in the streets. Now the black man is looked at as a criminal, if he is, the white man made him that way. I know this sounds ignorant because now my black brothers & sisters are able to lift themselves from the ghettos, but take in this thought, after slavery was over what if their was no segregation. What if they were actually given real freedom after slavery? How many ghettos would their be, the attitude of the black man was that he wanted to be free to make a better life for himself and his family, now he wants to party and such. Dont get me twisted on that note, I am not saying that, that is all is on the mind of the black man, I am just saying we would all be stronger as a country if their was never segregation. Things may be even better if the Native Americans land was never stolin and the Europeans didnt make tribes become extinct. What if slavery was never internationally created and the black man wasnt its doll to be manufactured and transported. I cannot blame my brothers for creating organizations and companys such as the Negro College Fund and the clothing bussiness FUBU. Many white people critisize me brothers & sisters creating Black Entertainment Television, I dont critisize I recognize they finally free of the chains.
This is a small entry in a story I may never finish even how hard I try because the wickedness of man will make it endless. I thank you for reading and some feedback would be great.
