'ROOTS' SEARCH WITH THE FAMILY BIBLE. SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER ME TELLING YOU HOW EACH FAMILY REUNION THE DESIGNATED YOUTHS REPORT ON THE LATEST MATERIALS FOUND IN THE SEARCH FOR OUR MOTHER LAND ROOTS.
WELL, YESTERDAY WHILE WATCHING A PROGRAM CALLED M MARVELS WHOSE THEME WAS 'DIRT' I LEARNED SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING AND SHALL ASK AT THE NEXT FAMILY REUNION IF THIS CAN BE ADDED TO THE SEARCH. DURING THE BREAK THEY GAVE THE DEFINITION OF THE ACT OF EATING DIRT. IT SEEM THE FEMALES OF THE SUB-SAHARA EAT DIRT AS A WAY TO MAKE UP FOR SOME THINGS MISSING IN THE BODY THAT THE BODY NEEDS.
I EAT CLAY AS I LEARNED TO DO THIS FROM GENERATIONS OF FEMALES IN MY FAMILY EATING CLAY. I ATE IT UNTIL I BECAME AN ADULT AND MOVED AWAY. YOU SEE IT HAS TO BE A CERTAIN KIND OF CLAY. I FOUND THIS PROGRAM FACINATING I GUESSS THIS LIKE SO MANY, MANY THINGS WE STILL CONTINUE TO DO EVEN AFTER THE REASON FOR DOING IT HAVE LONG BEEN FORGOTTEN.
I LEARN A LOT OF THINGS IN MY AFRICAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MAJOR THAT AFTER THIS I SHALL ASK THAT WE MAYBE BEGIN TO TRACE OUR ROOTS BY WAY OF THE MOTHER LAND, BECAUSE WE DO SO MANY THINGS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN FROM BOOKS WRITTEN BY SLAVES THAT WE STILL DO...
MANY ARE FORMS OF SUPERSTITIONS AND HOW WE EXPRESS ANGER WITH O-U-T USING VIOLENCE...EVER WONDER WHERE YOUR PARENTS LEARNED TO GIVE YOU TAHT FAMOUS LOOK ???...CALL YOU BY YOUR FIRST MIDDLE, LAST NAMES WHEN THEY GET UPSET WITH YOU...OR CALL YOU BY ONLY ONE NAME UNTIL YOU DON'T COME AND SHE KNOW YOUR HEAR HER CALLING YOU?!?
BUT, ONE OF THESE WE BROUGHT WITH US..THAT IN OKLAND, CA. AND BECOMING REQUIRED TEACHER'S OF GRADE SCHOOL MUST LEARN IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THERIJOBS LEARNING BY SCHOOL TEACHERS AS WELL AS I N SCHOOLS ACROSS aMERICA IS SAYING IT IS PROOF WHEN OUR CHILDREN HOLD THEIR HEADS DOWN WHEN THEIR TEACHERS ACCUSE THEM OF DOING SOMETHING IS A SIGN OF GUILT IS FALSE , IT IS A CULTURAL THING...OUR CHILDREN UNLIKE wHITE CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT TO BOW THEIR HEADS AND L ISTEN TO WHAT THE ADULT HAS TO SAY...NOT STAND TOE TO TOE WIT H THE ADULT AND GIVE THEM LIP.
we are naturally a passive people taht is slowly being taught out of us by way of our accepting being taught we are a violent peoples.
THERE IS NO WAY I CAN SAY IT ENOUGH...LEARN YOUR CULTURE. (SMILE)
CULTURE IS NECESSARY FOR BEING AMONGE THE FITTEST THAT WILL ALWAYS SURVIVE...GOOD NIGHT AND LOV YA A-L-L..
