and should avoid pointing fingers at anyone. If someone tries to touch you, go to the cops and bury it there. It is unfair to walk about the street and you sniff that you are being stared at because you are a rapist, thus, making such a black person bow to the floor in shame and embarrassment when really, they have done nothing wrong.

Reverend Jesse Jackson is a very nice man and attending some of his well prepared seminars and conferences should help us all avoid racism. No one is a freaking nigger. I am not a nigger, you are not a nigger. I am beautiful and so are you. I should be able to go into a shop and buy fitting clothing and so should you, without someone sniping secretly, calling you a nigger! You are a breathing human with a heart not a nigger and you should be able to stand up and defend that.

Africans who come to the western world have not betrayed their own countries and they are not promoting a slave trade taste by working with the United Nations or anywhere like that. In fact, they use it to benefit their own countries that I think are in progress. We must try to watch our tongues and learn to love and hug each other in truth.
I don't know of any African at this time that will live his or her house in Africa to travel all that way for money that is not even sufficient. People come to work here and should not be made to feel shame. When people see an African writing for CNN or Fox News or a big white media, they automatically start to call them names Oh you freaking nigger, what are you up to again?'

I should be able to work in White House and wine and dine with Vice-President Cheney and his wife without someone insinuating that I am up to something. Perhaps I want to sell Africans. If I wanted to sell an African, I don't think that they will want to be sold, in any case. Why would anyone want to come so low and so stupid in this fast modern world of technology where everyone is thinking of just themselves, anyway!

Now, people must let go, they must let the slave trade leave their hearts. That is gone now. It has gone forever, it will never come back, it has driven away and into insignificance. It is no longer real, stop calling people names and let them try to survive. I am as beautiful and as smart as anybody else.
Let money come after love. Let love lead the way, let love defend us and be our savior, let love show our true colors so that we can all be respected for who we really are and not what we are not.

As Reverend Jesse Jackson will always say, let us be as colorful as the rainbow' and we will see only our own problems and resolve them, then, we can be able to put those weapons of mass destruction, in place.
