If, today, say, I was born, say, after the period of 1989 to 1995, then I would find it difficult to even think, believe or imagine that Black people lived such conviction like an Angela Davis in the quote where she says, “Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.”
Today my/your materialistic comforts –fancy cars, houses, big screen televisions, church, Facebook distractions and weak thinking that I/you don’t acknowledge—puts me and you in a prison of complaint in our own minds. Your and my thinking is a sweetened pile of silliness.
Hmm…Black people were not always this silly.
