Time to stand up!

I am new to blogging, but not to using writing as a way of expressing myself. One thing that's been on my heart lately, is to talk about the black experience through my eyes. I am 27 year old female, raised in Miami, one of the most culturaly diverce cities in Florida. I have always wondered why African-Americans helped build this country, but still are treated unequally. Euro-centrism seemed to have snatch us out of human history, and re-written it based off lies. Throughout history, my kind has been faced with homelessness, no jobs, no hope, drug abuse, and turmoil within our own community. Does my generation chose to ignore the issues concerning our past, and has been continuing to shape our future? We don't have to continue to act like slaves who hate ourselves, and love our oppressor. We have to do better! In a world, that absorb our culure and is still becoming more "black" in style of dress, music, speech, and sexuality, why are we getting pushed aside from the American dream. My frustration has fuelled me to start this blog to refocus people on the situation at hand. I know there are allot of blacks still advocating, but there can never be too many. I just want to help keep the radical black perspective alive. I do believe the only way our voice will be heard is if we use some of the tactics of our forefathers,whether by boycotts, campaign, or protest. Not lay here and take what we are given, and that requires sacrifice. Debate without action is a waist of time. If we do not stand together and demand our piece of the American pie. Law makers feelings are the same as they were in the past, and it is up to us Negros to secure for ourselves a part of the American experience. If we don't do anything about it we will continue to be 21st century slaves.
