TheUnsungStoryteller

A blog by an aspiring journalist who is the epitome of the awkward black college girl. This is her story of survival. Read it and weep. But Don't tear up now. I love Jesus Christ, my Lord & Savior first and more foremost. I love culture. Especially Black Culture. It took me 20 years to love being BLACK.

“And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman

I wonder why we take from our women

Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?

I think it’s time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies

That will hate the ladies, that make the babies”

And since a man can’t make one

He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

So will the real men get up

I know you’re fed up ladies, but keep your head up”

And the books on top of my “bookcase”…lol…what’s my favorite within all of this? The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas. However, the Bible always stays at the bedside! (Taken with instagram)

My “bookcase”. Years ago…it was much bigger. Filled with Highlight magazines and Dr. Suess books, it was my crown and glory. <—-biggest nerd. 😁 (Taken with instagram)

Black history is taught like this: you started off as a slave, then white people felt bad and decided to free you, then civil rights legislation made you equal, and finally you achieved victory with Obama’s election. The end…. Of course, that is ridiculous. That is the White Supremacist version of black history. The end result of this mis-education is that black children are separated from their own people’s legacy and historical achievements.

Everybody in the world has the right to draw inspiration from their own people’s legacy, and this right is robbed from black children because their history is actively hidden, distorted, and replaced with make-believe.

Why education is about something, but definitely not about helping us realize our humanity. You gotta do that on your own time.
