Why Are These Adults Studying?


Why are these adults learning?
Why is Septima Clarke teaching?
Aren't they "over the hill?"
Aren't they too busy, too tired, or just too old?
Don't they know everything they need to know by now?

The answer is simple. They weren't satisfied with the restrictions White people and White racism placed on them and their children. The wanted what they called "Freedom."

They weren't learning to read so they could get awards at the annual Governor's banquet. They were learning to read, so they could read the Mississippi Constitution, so they could register to vote, so they could get the Governor and White people's foot off of our backs.

  • To be continued....

I don't have this discussion much anymore. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan settled it for me 40 + years ago, and I've not looked back since. (Dr. Ben's link at the end of this post.) In fact, I've moved forward. But this post isn't about me or religion, per se, and it's certainly not about getting you to change your faith. It's more about "racial scripting" than scripture. It's about religion as a tool for white supremacy and the domination of our people - African people. It's about our believing that God's loves for us (and God's presence in us) is not dependent on us bowing to or ignoring images of white Jesus/God/angels. It's about us caring about the psycholo...
