A young black girl's poem instilling BLACK PRIDE (NATIONALISM):
Compare Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin to "pirates" and "vampires" who robbed blacks of their identities and human rights.
"Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse,"...
"They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took the black women, with the black man weak. Made to watch as they changed the paradigm of our village...
I sailed on an Ocean so wide; but Columbus that man helped divide; the truth into lies; supported by alibis; now his-story stays alive...
If we did our research, which perspective could be supported by actual proof and which one is spewing emotional ignorance? Which one would you raise hell over? Truth or lies?
Rainmain, AlphaFrog and Paradise you got two seconds.
@Paradise...
You said - you are not AF-AM but you are black...Your views won't totally gel with AF-AM...
Why not? If you are of carribean descent or the Bahamas then you could totally gel...I am JAMAICAN and I am totally gellin...
mind you I am aware our stories will not be exactly the same... which ones ever are BUT the OPPRESSOR is the same and has brainwashed us whether we are CARRIBEANS or AF-AM....

Although you & I are 'Caribbean' I am not Jamaican and you are not Bahamian. So I can't assume that 'you know what I'm talkin about' b/c we are from island nations. The Bahamas has been blessed in that we do not & did not suffer with the same level of racial oppression as African-Americans & Caribbean nations. So although we seem to be so much alike I don't know what it's like to grow up & live in Jamaica & you likewise with me in the Bahamas.
I am Black but where & when I grew up has a WHOLE lot to do with my views on race & race relations. Also remember that geographically the Bahama Islands are not situated in the actual Caribbean Sea & thus not really 'close' to Caribbean islands. So our cultures have more differences than similarities than say those island nations who were able to interact with each other.
I a nut shell I'm trying to say that being Black doesn't automatically mean that I know how hard it is to be Black etc. That's why earlier I didn't want to talk about stuff I know nothing about. I will never know what it's like being a Black American b/c I'm not. So I don't think I should go there. My Black experience growing up in the Bahamas has been just fine. My leaders have all been black (since our independance in 1973), our equivalent to the US vice president is a black woman, we represent about 85% of the country, so I truly can't act like I know what they're going through just b/c I'm black.
