Just something for you to think about.
What you are doing now is what you would have done back then. If you've ever sat in a history class or watched a movie on slavery and said to yourself:" Man I would have done so and so and I would have never let those caucasions do that shit to me." Just keep in mind that what you're doing now is what you would have done then.
If you're black and dont like my occasional topics on race relations in America it's highly likely you would have been a snitch, unstrustworthy boot licking trustee.
If you sit back and just watch TV and never join a protest or support a cause whether silently, verbally, fiancially, or through real sweat equity then you would have been a lamb back in the day basically a sheep for the slaughter.
Field Negros like me would have been like Nat Turner. Again it's rhetorical but just something for you to think about. When that time comes dont be scared be prepared by participating now.
