Some remember, some forget, some deny, and some relive it everyday, and some bring it up every chance they get...

Me, personally... I remember it, but I do not let myself be a prisoner of the memories... And it is where I come from... It is not where I am going to (at least, I hope not! :-))

Some people are their own worst enemies. We build our own prisons. There were black slaves who were more free in their minds and their faith even while they were not free to do what they wanted to do. The best thing I ever did was to stop allowing myself to be a prisoner of my past on so many levels.

As far as black people are concerned, I know too many black people to say they all think alike. Everyone is different, and have their own problems. As far as I can see, the only black people doing all this smack talking about slavery are those who make money off of it (people's bad memories).
