***WARNING THIS POST MAY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE, LANGUAGE MAY BE STRONG, AND THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE WRITER…NOT THE WEB HOSTING SERVICE***
Over the last few weeks I have gone over and over in my mind how I have managed to lose some opportunities at the hands of a BLACK MAN and all I can ask is “Why…Black Man…Why“?
Now as always I write this (like many other post) owning up to my own mistakes. I mean who is without fault? But I also write this with a heavy heart for many reasons. The biggest being seeing HOPE for a better black world slowly go down the tubes. BY THE HANDS OF A BLACK MAN! We have gotten away from the togetherness and comradery that existed in the days of slavery when our black men fought our masters for their families and their freedom. Grant you not all fought but quite a few did. Many lost their lives for this. We have gotten away from the togetherness and comradery that existed during the era of segregation when our black men stood on the front lines and marched (not forgetting our woman) against racist citizens who allowed dogs to bite us, firemen to spray us with their water hoses, police to beat us with their clubs, and racist groups to burn crosses in our yards and hang us.
Many things seem really off in my marriage. And this is how I feel and the questions I am asking myself:
AFTER THE LOVE IS GONE-Earth, Wind, and Fire
For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew
and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last
Ev’ry night somethin’ right
would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin’ happened along the way
what used to be happy was sad
Somethin’ happened along the way
and yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
never knew that what was
wrong oh baby wasn’t right
We tried to find what we had
till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin’ happened along the way
yesterday was all we had
Somethin’ happened along the way
what used to be happy is sad
So it’s a new day and I am happy to be able to see it begin. But I have to admit I went to sleep last night with a lot on my mind. Some of it dealt with some questions I got from a friend/former supervisor and blog reader. Some of it dealt with how I was gonna write this particular blog. Most of it dealt with a comment that was made to me last night by my wife right before I went to bed. So I will address this…or shall I say vent this first.
So last week I posted on Facebook that the truth would be set straight today and I am really relieved to be doing this. Like the picture above I feel unchained in many ways. I have to give my Lord and Savior praise for the message today because it was the same title as this blog. I also have to give a big shout to the messenger of this message because how it was delivered was key to my understanding how it applied to me on a personal level. Continue Reading…
