For many decades Negros were
misunderstood, jugged, and classified as uncivilized, as animals or godless
people. They were set aside and killed. Oppressed by society and slaved. Through
the passing years Negros have raised and have become respected men and women.
But their ancestors have the perspective many of our grandparents never had. Today they have the double vision of
what their present and future has become but how their past has come so far. The first vision is form how white
folks treated them, with no respect. It
was such a cruelty it sometimes seems as the white men did not have any type of
conscious of what they were doing to these humans, but the unbelievable part
was that they were aware, but completely ignorant and blind-sided. I am glad
that today the Negros can express their awful past and teach their life
experiences but particularly to those who overlooked and did not realize that
they were humans but a different race. The
past is never forgotten; it will always be in their roots and soul. They have learned from their enemies
and form America. The Negros have an entire generation to teach and pass on
history. The world needs to understand the point of view these young men and
women went through their life. They
have an incredible wisdom and life lessons to teach and many, including me,
have that desire to learn from those experiences and history.
These experiences have defined their
manhood and inner strength. It
has shown society how prosperous and rich their culture is. Their fighting days
are still to be ended because sadly there are still stereotypes and judgments
to encounter, but they have demonstrated and reaffirmed that they are strong
and willing men with aspirations and goals as very one else. It has been an extensive journey and
their character has demonstrated more than courage and dignity, but devotion to
a better today and tomorrow. As De Bois says he does not want to Negros and
white men to have any type of conflict, he just wants respect and the
especially to have the same opportunity as other races.
