Black People Are Still Slaves

The Emancipation Proclamation only physically freed the slaves, but the mental state of slaves didn’t get emancipated at all.

There are three types of bondage: physical bondage, spiritual bondage, and mental bondage. You can be free in one way but not the others. Black people seem to be physically free, but spiritually and mentally in bondage. The spiritual bondage is mostly due to the lousy spiritual leaders in the black community. Our spiritual leaders don’t contribute anything to our communities. They actually take from it. They never are honest with blacks about the true issues in the community: the crime, drugs, sex/pregnancy out of wedlock, gangs, deadbeat dads, and disrespectful kids. When was the last time you heard any preacher talk about that?

Black people are also in mental bondage. We will never know for sure where the word “n*gger” came from, but most agree that it means “an ignorant person”. And lots of blacks are mentally still “n*ggers”, meaning they are ignorant. They are physically free, but mentally bound. They even take offense when other black people escape mental bondage.

When blacks become educated, successful, or productive, other black people turn their backs on them and tell them that they are “white” on the inside. I personally had experiences with that throughout my life. Other black people called me “white” because I read books.

Now they call me white because I actually expose myself to different points of views when it comes to politics. I am not a die hard democrat like most black people. What made me want to break my mental bondage was when I realized that I was always listening to hip hop (and some pop) music. I even slept with it on. I eventually started to listen to country, gospel, classical, and then came across talk radio. I was intrigued. I had never heard anyone speak about the other side of the political spectrum.

As republicans say, the media is liberal, and I do agree. I never hear anyone on the news or on the radio stations that I listened to say anything about what it means to be a conservative. Everything was always about “do what you want, when you want to do it”. There were no morals. And black culture is guilty of that the most. Hip hop is a powerful form of music that we indulge in all the time, but I don’t think all of us are getting the proper balance of knowledge we should be getting. All of us need to be willing to expose ourselves to a book or two, don’t you think?

Black people are now masters of our own slavery. We cause ourselves to be imprisoned, we sell each other deadly drugs, we murder each other in the streets, we abort unborn children (at a higher rate than any other group in the country), black men treat black women like whores/sexual objects, and we teach our kids to do these same things by displaying this behavior in front of them. It seems that we are not trying to break the cycle for the sake of the children. We are keeping the chaos going.

Black people will never stop doing these things until we realize that it isn’t working. Mental bondage is a mental illness. It’s insanity. We are doing the same dumb things over and over again and expecting different results. I thank God for people like Don Imus. As ignorant as he many be, people like him call attention to the black community. It makes us really take a look at ourselves and say, “What are we doing?” When we realize that the whole world is secretly watching our buffoonish behavior, it will hopefully make us embarrassed enough to change.
