Thoughts of the American Negress

Everything happens for a reason; being open and responsive will make all the difference in the world when interpreting those reasons.

My mate once shared with me, persistence and patience precedes progress. Whether or not I truly understand the depth of this wisdom, it does resonate with my current state of existence.

I am a writer, have been a published writer since the age of 10 years old, but my patience and persistence has been inconsistent and so has my progress as a writer. I am now in 2011, focusing my thoughts, words, and actions to manifest that of a writer, and so here represents the rebirth of Love's Revolt, the blog.

On this blog I will share my thoughts, views, and opinions of what is happening in our world from an American Negress' perspective. I'm sure you're thinking, "we have that already, its BET"; and if you truly believe that then you should really read this blog, if nothing else for fodder to chew and digest.

We have yet been "paid in full" as a people the promissory note Dr. King eloquently spoke about in that famous hour long speech that gets butchered into 20 second sound bites. He says, "When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Well if you've not been awoken, Negro male, by the sound of the police siren, then Negro woman you've been jarred from your sleep by a 4am phone call asking to come down to the police district to know that we still do not benefit from the riches and gains of this American dream as a people.

Sure of course, a few token Negros have been sprinkled on top like pepper in this melting pot, but the majority of American Negros (like 85% of us) get left at the bottom of the pot to flavor the American culture.

There still exist a major deficit when it comes to the American Negro's experience compare to that of other naturalized citizens. Michelle Alexander writes a timely and much needed book called the New Jim Crow, explaining how the criminal justice system is and has always been designed to revoke the rights of these American citizens that happen to be blacker than blue. I just received the book from Amazon and will be reading it over the next few days so as to use it as she says, "...for...those who have been struggling to persuade their friends, neighbors, relatives, teachers, co-workers, or political representatives that...our criminal justice system operates...a lot like an era we supposedly left behind, but have lacked the fact and data to back up their claims."**

This blog will serve in that same fashion, providing insight, data, and perspective of the American Negro experience from within the American Negro's veil. Helping folk, who feel this eerie familiarity to just a few years ago when American Negros were lynched, driven from their homes and communities, and forced into political and economic exile and underworld, navigate the current bureaucracy of neocolonialism.
