Reap What You Sow... Yeah RIGHT!



Who ever said you reap what you so had things confused or he was not a farmer! Why do I say this? Look into seed. This is the basis of reaping. What is planted to return unto the planter during harvest time. Now.

I plant a corn kernel I get stalks of corn. So really, you get a different product and 100 fold harvest. In reality you get a new creation that is found in the seed itself. You get that memberance of that which it came from; but you have to work to find that replica of the seed planted. In reference to corn...you have to remove the husk... the protective layer. You have to shuck the stalk of the hairs that cover the outer layer of the corn on the stalk. You then have to dry the stalk in order to pluck the seed. It is then and only then you reap what you sow.

So many of us have a misconception of harvest time and reaping time. Many of us want a quick harvest and even few of us want to spend the quality time to reap that which is sown.

Today I celebrate the reaping of that which is sown.

Paul,

How soon we forget or turn a blind eye!

I am an instructor of “Effective Black Parenting”.

In this program we teach that although people (White America) don’t want to accept or acknowledge it… slavery still has a bit of residue in the African America community; as well as the effects of after slavery lynching and beating of the immediate past.

Fact is… It was your slave owners that tore the families apart and shipped the male out of the plantation let alone the home. It has a profound and lasting impression on our culture. It still is not acceptable for the black male to be a strong force in it’s community. Clearly there is still a conspiracy against the black male to not be allowed to have a decent education or be a strong force in the work place.

It is not spoken about that in the educational system; majority of black males are labeled unruly and unable to be taught in kindergarten. It is also well known that the judicial system in cahoots with the educational system, make a point to direct our sons toward the prison environment. More schools report daily to police systems about black children then they do on white children. Whites get more breaks or leniency. But outside of that, we are left not to our own devices; yet yours.

We come from a culture of multiple wifery and polygamy. We are not honored or allowed this. Our culture has been stomped out and deemed unworthy to acknowledge or uphold. Yet you honor gay rights. It won’t be until America as a whole acknowledge, mend, renew and reteach our children our ways our culture unbiasedly; but that would take Africa’s help.

Africa can be of help because many of our people are confused that by going back to Africa everything will be fine but that's a misnomer b/c Africans are everywhere; it is about teaching, regrouping and accepting the culture as equal to not less than. Africans here and abroad should be mindful of such; especially African born in America of slave descent.
It will take the same governmental force to remove the stigma it placed upon the black male; in order for the black woman to be able to relinquish the headship back to her counterpart.

I realize that, as a Caucasian male, you will never understand this battle or crime that has taken place upon the whole African American people. If your foundation was removed from you and you were forced to abhor to mine at all cost… you too would be left confused and bewildered to who you are. You too would not be stable or have a sense of loyalty to your nation, woman, family or seed. If you were beaten to take on my ways or submit your manhood to me; you too would be bitter, angry and wondering in nature.

Thank your god; you do not have to experience such a crime upon your nation, such as that the Caucasians have conflicted and continue to conflict upon other people, nations, and races. It is the “American way to force your ways upon the masses.
