Black People Were The First Born Of Humankind!

From our loins came forth that which will conquer this place we call earth for all time. From our loins came forth a specie like no other specie on this planet, with the intelligence to determine our life and death on this planet.

A specie that has prevailed, sustained itself, nourished, protected itself, and developed the ability to transcend this planet to other planets in this solar system

A specie that has a HEART that forgives, forgets, remembers, and allows those

among us who have done harm to some of us, to reconcile their differences, and continue to be a part of the human family in peace.

* I have seen this principal element expressed in South Africa, after the fall or overthrow of APARTHEID in that country. Where Brother Nelson Mandella, the hero, principal player, and leader of all South Africans during the Apartheid regime, tell his people to 'Forgive' the former White racist rulers for their sins against Black South Africans.

* I have also seen Black South Africans FORGIVE some Black former police officers who indulged in killing several political activists during the struggle.

* I have seen the mothers, and other relatives of these slain men and boys, forgive their Black Police countrymen, for indulging in these atrocities, under orders from their bosses or senior officers.

All of this was very emotional for me to witness on television tonight on channel 25 local time. And I now realize without any doubt, that BLACK people globally share one heart, one spiritual tie, an experience that transcends borders, boundaries, nations, and ethnicity.

Why?

Because we were the first born of all humankind on this planet. And still have the spiritual connection that binds us all, making it very difficult not to be forgiving when wrong is done to us anywhere on this planet.

Om Shanti.
