THEY CAN'T TAKE OUR PRAYERS! PART 1
One of the reasons that so many people in this generation don’t have a problem with this new wave of racism that’s coming about is because they don’t remember and they cannot relate to the last one. They don’t know about the hard times their parents, grandparents and older relatives went through and we’re not telling them. Or if we do, are we telling them in the way we’re supposed to. We’ve been so busy with trying to raise them with good thoughts and happy lives until we don’t tell them about the terrible, horrendous times many had to go through in order for this younger generations to live the lives they're enjoying right now. They don’t know about riding the buses with the signs that read; Colored Only. That meant If you were sitting in a seat and the bus got crowded a white person could pick up one of those signs and place it in the seats behind the Black people and the Blacks in turn had to get up and move behind that sign so that the white people could have a seat. That also meant if the Blacks who had been seated had to stand then that’s just the way it was, they stood for the rest of their ride. Maybe the younger generations have seen pictures of water fountains that read white only but they never experienced a white person daring them to drink out of it. I still remember when looking for jobs in the classified ads there would always be the column for jobs that read white only. It didn’t matter how qualified you were, if you weren’t white don’t even apply. We cannot allow these Jim Crow laws and racism to happen again!
