If we turn the pages of history, we will recall, that shackled slavery in the early days, were very brutal and cruel to African people everywhere, even in Mama Africa herself. There were the brutal whippings and lynchings on the slave plantations everywhere, but especially to those of us who speak up for our rights, and encourage resistance and uprisings. But time and resistance have changed shackled slavery, to modern and technological slavery today, in other words, slavery has been polished instead of being abolished. For the sake of reasoning, we can reflect on the Aparthied system of brutality in South Africa, and the system of Jim Crow Laws in the USA, since they were the same system of racism, downpression and lynching, only that they were taking place in different countries, against African people. These sytems of brutalities and racism, were considered to be legal in both countries against African people. The public display of Jim Crow laws and Aparthied is not practice in public as frequent as it used to be in the past, and that is as a result of time and resistance, by the people who used to be victims of those crimes. Many things have changed because of time and resistance and many more will change in the future, it may be long but it will not be forever. The journey of life continues. Take the best care of yourself and your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere.
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE.
