Since we can easily interact with people from all over the world it is important to know how we are viewed by other cultures, societies and governments. Today our children can grasp so much with so little effort that we seem to let them gain all sorts of knowledge without first understanding what about them precedes their actions.Little do we know that we are the ones that the international arena has been waiting on. Yes, we have shown the world that we can run, play ball, dance, sing, teach, fly rockets, invent cures and products, grow food, own businesses and lead in government. All of these things have also been achieved by other nations and peoples throughout the earth. What the international chairs are waiting on is whether or not the children of slaves in America and throughout the Slavery Diaspora are going to recognize themselves enough to join at the table with those who make the decisions for societies. Yes, we have been told that we are missing and have been missing for quite some time. In fact, it has been said that the United Nations recognized that it needs to find a place for us to fit within international law. Why not? Did not the Indians get some form of justice? Did not the Japanese get some form of justice? Did not the Jews get some form of justice? All of these claims were heard because those nations of people were very concerned about their youth and the future of their society and culture. They did not want their children to be swallowed up so much that they would forever be a dependent people. (Don't forget that they have their human rights.)Black people have dealt with just about every issue concerning our past, present and future with the exception of the Great Grand Daddy of them all. The issue of human rights reaches back to the Atlantic Slave Trade because before slavery, we were in fact a nation of people who spoke our mother tongue, survived with our own culture and practices and governed ourselves. Now it can be argued how we looked, or what were doing at the time, but at least we were not stripped of every piece of fabric that made us whole human beings.Make your children aware that they are a part of a 250 million member nation of people who are being represented for a real change. So if they want to be a lawyer, they will have the same human rights as a caucasian lawyer, or an asian or indian lawyer. Tell them we are working so hard that if they want to be a Minister, or Teacher, or an Officer that they will have the same human rights as other races of people. Because right now, we don't.
