REDEMPTION, LTR. 37

WE FOUGHT HARD TO GET EQUAL RIGHTS & RESPECT, TO BEING USED LIKE A STEPPING STONE, WHEN FOREIGNERS COME TO THIS COUNTRY TO LOOK DOWN ON US BLACK PEOPLE, THAT HAVE ENDURED MORE HATE THAN ANY OTHER RACE, UNTIL THEY FACE A ORDEAL RELATING THEY PROBLEMS TO OUR BLACK EXPERIENCE LIVING IN THIS RACIST AMERIKKKA, AS WE WAS NOT PERMITTED TO READ & WRITE, VOTE, INTERRACIAL-MARRIAGE, ETC.. BECAUSE RACISM HAD BEEN PART OF THIS AMERIKKAN SOCIAL FABRIC FROM THE NATIONS BEGINNING, AFTER THEY DONE STOLE THIS LAND FROM THE INDIANS, AND OTHER RACES COMING TO THIS NOW FREE COUNTRY TO EXPLOIT IT FOR THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY IT IS GIVING THEM, WHEN US BLACKS DONE MADE IT A BETTER COUNTRY FOR EVERY OTHER RACE TO GET A BETTER EDUCATION, WORK, AND MONEY TO START BUSINESSES, IT IS A VERY WONDERFUL THING TO SEE PEOPLE STRIVING TO BE, WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BECOME, THAT HAS FILLED PEOPLE WITH A HATEFUL GREED, THAT INSTITUTIONS HAVE HELPED CREATE A SEDUCTIVE WAY OF LIFE, A CULTURE OF CONSUMPTION THAT CAPITALIZES ON EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MONEY, AS NONE OF THE COUNTRYS FOREIGNERS GAVE A HELL ABOUT WHAT US BLACK PEOPLE BEEN THRU, AN HOW THEY IS ABLE TO DO WHAT WE WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO DO, THAT THE EUROPEANS WOULD RATHER PROVIDE BETTER OPPORTUNITYS & GRANT LOANS TO FOREIGN PEOPLE, AS WE REMAIN STUCK AT THE BOTTOM, FINALLY MOVING FORWARD IN FACING SOME OF THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES IN OUR WAY, BECAUSE US BLACKS HAVE BROKE DOWN MANY RACIAL BARRIERS STRIVING TO OVERCOME ALL THE NEGATIVE HATE THAT EVERYBODY HAS FOR MY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OUR BLACK HEROES, BUT NOW EVERYTIME SOMETHING RACIST HAPPENS TO THEY PEOPLE, THEY WANT TO RELATE THEY PROBLEMS TO OUR BLACK EXPERIENCE OF WHATS GOING ON WITH THEM, AND THESE PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT OUR STRUGGLE WAS ABOUT, AS THEY REMIND THEY PEOPLE TO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH US BLACKS OR TO DATE OUTSIDE THEY RACE, AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE, US BLACK PEOPLE HAVE NOW GOTTEN INTO POSITIONS OF INFLUENCE, GOTTEN INTO COLLEGE, GOTTEN IN PROFESSIONS, GOTTEN INTO POLITICAL POSITIONS, TO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT TODAY, BY PAVING THE WAY FOR MINORITY PEOPLE NOT OF THIS COUNTRY TO FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS, BUT WE IS TREATED WITH DISRESPECT, BECAUSE WE FOUGHT HARD TO OBTAIN THE POSITIONS WE IS AT TODAY, WITHOUT ANYONES HELP, WE HAVE MADE IT A BETTER COUNTRY FOR EVERYBODY TO LIVE, AN I JUST ASK FOR FOREIGNERS TO SHOW MY PEOPLE RESPECT, BECAUSE YOU GOT A LOT OF FOREIGNERS IGNORANT OF OUR HISTORY & CULTURE, AN DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY OWN HISTORY, AN COME TO THIS COUNTRY TO LOOK DOWN ON US BLACK PEOPLE, JUST TO BE COOK WITH THE EUROPEANS..
