GRIOTS REPUBLIC - AN URBAN BLACK TRAVEL MAG - DECEMBER 2016

Is it possible that
the labor of our
antecessors was not
solely for the right
to be treated equal
here in America,
but also, the right to
move freely...
America, but also, the right to move
freely as a nation or individually
throughout the world; to one day
completely liberate ourselves from
the clenching pain of being treated
like second class citizens? Is it time
for Blacks to leave America?
Many will argue that this is our
home and our ancestors fought
for our rights to such claim. We
pay taxes and our contributions to
America are so vast that not only
are we entitled to be here, but we
are an intricate part of the fabric
that makes America great.
Still, the color of our skin gives a police
officer the justification to shoot
and kill us with no remorse and often
not more penalty than a slap on
the wrist. Even so, many would rebut
that we are used to the struggle.
Blacks have always had to deal with
the oppression of the man. But, are
we so used to the struggle that we
don’t know how to walk away from
an abusive relationship?
