today's anniversary

Today is the
anniversary of Rosa Parks’ refusal to sit in the back of the bus in Montgomery , Ala. America Henry Ford Museum Dearborn , Mich.
Welcome to another web edition
of THINKING OUT LOUD, and I'm your host, E. L. Pleasant. Thinking Out Loud,
what progress? We may not have to sit at
the back of the bus or give up our seats, but for some, our slavery roots run
too deep to move forward and that’s where you will find us still seated today.
If a white female gets on and there is no available seat, we are 9 times likely
to offer her our seat before we offer it to one of our own. The bus can be empty or half full and the
first place we tend to migrate is straight to the back without ever being told
to do so or ask of ourselves the reason why?
She can’t stand to look upon you, but she will take your seat and ask of
you like asking a child are you sure? If
you weren’t would you have offered in the first place? We are still treated and thought of as not
being intelligent enough when it come to making decisions; therefore it would
be best if they continue making them for us. Like still naming us after so many
years as if it was just yesterday they were calling us Toby too what ever came
to their mind, now they want to name us African Americans. Do we still need
them to take care of us? Because for
many white people they would argue that is what they are doing for those blacks
from generations to generations still receiving welfare over getting an
education, that is what they have being doing since the depression era. Seventy five percent of the white population
would contend that they are sick of us as a hold and yet they are the guilty
party that created this dependency handed down from their forefathers to keep
us where we are out of fear and ignorance, that we would someday over power
them and rule. So they set up laws to
work against us and programs to keep us abated at every turn. It is recorded that Jesus came and died for
our sins. The same sin was here before
he came, after he died and has multiplied.
Martin Luther King Jr., gave his life so that we could hold hands
together and sing songs, now where has that gotten us? 2013 half behind bars, the other half the
chains are off the hands and feet, but the mind is still held captive and our
youth are being killed right before our eyes while we as parents say, “I DON’T
THINK IT WAS DONE OUT OF HATE.” These
are the one’s that God is looking for because he said love thou enemies and
these are they that will be deemed as righteous. I’m not! For Thinking Out Loud, I'm E. L. PLEASANT
