A day to Stop and give thanks for the year that has pasted. As a 65yo Black Man I know longer take the years for granted. I enjoy one year at a time. I thank god for my mind and my health.
Lets go back in History and give thanks to all the Black Slave Men and Women who were beaten killed and raped on Slave ships comming to America. And I give thanks to all the Black Men Women and Children who endured Slavery for Centuries, under the threat of being beaten klled raped or solded. Up through the years in America there have been game changers, that moved America along the path to freedom for everyone.
The first game changer was the American Revolution, this war inable alot of Slaves to free themselfs. The next game changer, after the war most Northern States freed all of there Slaves, with the exception of Delaware. By 1810 there were 180.000 free Blacks living in America. The next game changer came during the American Civil War. This War ended Slavery and sent Millions of Black Slaves into freedom.
After the Civil War it took a 100 years for America to start to live up to its creed, and to start enforcing all laws to protect all of its citizens. Well the 2008 Presdiential election that elected a Black Man as Presdient of these United States. And now we have reelcted the same Black Man as Presdient of these United States. We are now on the path to real change in America.
So to all Americans I say Happy Thanks Giving to you. No matter who you are, or what you believe.
One Nation under God and Liberty for All.
America lets let Hate rest for one day.
