We forgot. We forgot We Are Black.
by: D’Empress Royale
We forgot we Are Black. In a system that dehumanized us, we forgot who we are. We forgot how we are. We forgot our purpose on Earth. We forgot that we are co-creators. We forgot we come from a Divine universal Source of darkness. We forgot we are the teachers. We forgot we are the inventors. We forgot. We are so far away from who we are, we allow the people we taught to tell us who we are. We Are the Essence of BLACK.
We allow the people we taught to tell us how we can move. We allow the people we taught to tell us how we can live. We allow the people we taught to entitle us to our basic human rights. We allow the people we taught to rename us. We allow the people we taught to give us permission. Permission to work, permission to eat, permission to live, permission to pursue the right of happiness. We forgot our culture, we allowed them to suppress.
We forgot our history we allow them to force us to forget, erase, and LEAVE for them to re-write. We forgot how to experience one another. We have been embodied with doctrine which induces stagnation and fear. We fear the very tools, we created, that they use to make us fear them, without realizing we have complete access to those very same tools.
We forgot why our slave ancestors ran away. We forgot why our slave ancestors killed their own seed. We forgot why our slave ancestors jumped off the boat. We forgot why our people marched and fought and stood together at the front lines. We forgot. We forgot how to treat each other. We forgot why our ancestors boycotted buses. We forgot why our ancestors had sit-ins at restaurants. We forgot why our ancestors boycotted every institution that wouldn’t allow us. They gave us integration, we forgot why we were separate. They gave us the projects, we forgot God gave us land. They gave us grocery stores, we forgot god gave us trees that bear fruit, bushes that bear vegetables. They gave us bottled water, we forgot God gave us streams and lakes and ponds and wells and rivers and oceans and waterfalls. They placed us inside projects in the corner holes of each city, not to be seen, then force us to pay for air conditioning. We forgot God gave us the freedom of nature to go outside to use and feel the breeze of the wind and the trees for oxygen.
We invented cars, they gave us a license to drive bypass our brothers and sisters’, mothers and children, walking in the same direction. Leaving our people standing at bus stops when you’re the only one in your car rushing back to a house that you can never truly call your own, if you don’t pay their “land” taxes. Does this make sense? God gave us multitudes of different complexions and skin tones to experience our differences, they forced us to compare ourselves and fear one another who looks just a shade away from ours and encouraged our goddesses to bleach their skin to look the same as them. Do you fear what you see in the mirror? Is that why you paint yourself up? Does a roach fear another roach, does an ant fear another ant? Does a dog fear another dog or do they sniff each other, get to know each other’s scent and become one joining each other’s pack? We forgot. They gave us competition we forgot to go back and check to make sure that the weaker ones can keep pushing.
We forgot to check on our elderly. We forgot to check on our starving neighbor. We have witnessed so much abuse done onto us we ignore the sounds of our neighbors being abused. We forgot how to intervene and protect one another. We’ve witnessed so much trauma, we enjoy seeing each other getting abused. We forgot it’s better to step in and stop the abuse. We ignore our people state of mental illness due to prejudices and injustices, biases and opinions, OF OTHERS. We forgot. We forgot the meaning of family. We forgot the meaning of our blackness. We forgot the reason of our existence. We forgot the roles of our women and men and children in the family structure.
They gave us sexism and class-ism which forced us to accept their titles they gave us to denounce Our Highness and exult their inferiority view against us. We forgot. We forgot who we are. We lie to ourselves on a constant basis pretending that we have it all together, pretending we know what we are doing, pretending we don’t need nothing or nobody. Hiding and Forgetting to give thanks to those who helped us along our happy times journey giving, only ourselves the praise for our personal achievements and success. NO one can do anything alone, stop pretending.
Stop pretending we are all right. We aren’t and never will be all right until every single person on this planet who looks like us is doing alright. Spread these resources out and help each other. We are not them, Stop pretending to be. We All need each other help and better off sticking to each other. Let Go and Let the God, come out of your cocoon and put these people in their place and make them wish that that they were you. Wear Your Crown, let your melanin shine. Take your kingdoms back with dignity and pride, honor and strength. This is our land. This is our home; this is our earth. Take it back. Don’t forget. REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! IT’S A MUST WE remember to help one another and know what we can do to make each other Ascend into knowing and understanding oneself, and bring the Light out of the darkness, shining through your greatest talents, skills, and capabilities. GIVE BLACK PEOPLE AN TRUE IDENTITY AND HOME. We’re only Bettering ourselves by taking care of the earth.
