"THE GENERATIONAL FEAR FACTOR OF THE COLOUREDS"

*SIGHS*,FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,I CAME TO TERMS WITH HAVING TO DEAL WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY DAY MARES!ITS SADDENING,BUT NOT DAMNING,TO NOTE THAT PEOPLE OF COLOUR{LIKE MY HUMBLE SELF} ARE YET TO OVERCOME THEIR INNER DEMONS AS IN TERMS OF THE WORD "FEAR".THERES AN ADAGE WHICH CONNOTES & I QUOTE-"THERES NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT FEAR IT SELF".FROM THE SLAVE MOVEMENTS OF BLACKS SHACKLED FROM THE SUB SAHARA REGIONS OF AFRICA TO THE TEMPRATE PARTS OF THE WESTERN STATES,HAS HAD ITS ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE PEOPLE WHO KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY POSSES THE DARK SKIN.ITS ALL STARTS FROM THE CRADLES TO THE CLASSROOMS.WHAT PARENTS TEACH THEIR KIDS,& THE WAY THESE KIDS RELATE & PORTRAY THEIR INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS ON THE STORIES BEEN TOLD TO THEM ABOUT THEIR ANCESTORS, HAS BROUGHT ABOUT POSITIVE & NEGATIVE ENERGY.POSITIVE IN TERMS OF WE NOT WANTING HISTORY TO WRITE ABOUT US,BUT WE USING OUR VERY OWN HANDS TO CHANGE & WRITE HISTORY.FROM THE 1ST COUPLE OF THE WORLD,TO THE NUMEROUS ACCOLADES & OVATIONS GIVEN IN ALL SPHERES OF THE SOCIAL & ECONOMIC WORLD AS A WHOLE .I.E-BLACKS SWEEPING THE HIGHEST FORMS OF RECOGNITION IN SPORTS,INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM,MOVIES,SONGS,POEMS WRITTEN,PHILANTROPY,HUMANITARIAN FEATS WHICH ALL GO BEYOUND LEAPS & BOUNDS!!!BUT THERE IS STILL THIS IMPENDING INSECURITY WHICH LOOMS AROUND THE PEOPLE OF COLOUR & THAT IS "FEAR".FEAR TO BREAK THE STATUS QUO,FEAR TO DO THE RIGHT THING,FEAR TO EQUALITY,FEAR TO LOVE,FEAR TO SAY "NO" WHEN WE SAY "YES" & VICE VERSA.I WROTE ALL THIS JUST TO PEN DOWN THE GRIEVIANCES OF MY HEART & THOUGHT PROCESS!I WOKE UP TO SEE ON A SOCIAL PLATORM NETWOKING BLOG SITE ABOUT A 16 YEAR OLD WHO WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD DUE TO RIVAL GANG SQUABBLES.LOOKING AT THE RECORDED VIDEO OF HOW HE PASSED AWAY,SENT DOWN CHILLS OF LOW CELSIUS DOWN MY SPINE.I HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY GROSS MOVIES,AND DOCUMENTARIES ON DEATH,BUT THERE WAS SOMTHING JUST "TOUCHING" & "PECULIAR" ABOUT THIS ONE.WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED IS A LESSON TO ALL.MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE & TO THOSE WHO HAVE GOT FEAR LURKED DEEP DOWN IN THEIR LOINS,THAT LEAST THING WE COULD DO JUST TO SPARK UP THE WORLD TO BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE IS JUST IN A 4 LETTER WORD "L.O.V.E"........GOD BLESS!
