#Now_it_all_makes sence# black child is possible...#Forward we goThere are certain things that the best lecturer in the best university will never teach you, things which only poverty can teach you.Your lecturer will never teach you that a newspaper can serve as a table cloth AND a window cleaning wipe, and even as toilet paper. Your lecturer will never teach you that if you have only 2 tea-bags left, you must boil tea in a pot so that there is enough of it for 7 people to drink. Your lecturer will never teach you that empty paint containers can be used to elevate a bed so that there is enough space under it to store suitcases and boxes.Your lecturer will never teach you that its possible to eat cabbage the whole week, cooked differently: on Monday, mixed with potatoes; on Tuesday, cooked with rajah; on Wednesday, fried; on Thursday, boiled and on Friday, spiced up with grated carrots.Your lecturer will never teach you that when a newborn baby has his nose blocked by mucus and they cannot breath, you must cover their nose with your mouth and suck the mucus out to clear their nasal passage. Your lecturer will never teach you that to save dish washing liquid, you must take a container, put a bit of water with the soap in it, and a scrubbing sponge. That way, everytime you wash dishes, you use the sponge that has absorbed a lot of the soap. Your lecturer will never teach you that that if you dont have an eraser, you can use brown bread crumbs by rolling them into a ball. Your lecturer will never teach you that you can use the green Sunlight bar soap to do your laundry by cooking it: melt it by boiling it on a hot stove and cooking it until it is liquid, then pour it into your water and you have the same results as you would a washing powder. Your lecturer will never teach you how to make vaskerese: a body lotion made from candles and a bit of paraffin, which leaves your skin oily and radiant. Your lecturer will never teach you that you can bake on an open fire if you dont have an oven. You need to concentrate your fire in a small space and contain it by surrounding it with bricks, put a grill on it and use a baking pan to bake your cookies. Your lecturer will never teach you that a 2 bedroom house can accommodate 15 people, that at night, a kitchen can turn into a bedroom, if the furniture is re-arranged properly.Your lecturer will never teach you that two pieces of chicken can feed a family of 7. Cut the chicken into strips and make a stew with a lot of vegetables and baked beans. These are just examples of things that the best academics will never teach you; things that only the poor know; things that only Blacks understand, because for many of us, life has been nothing but a quest for survival. Everyday we wake up and we learn how to survive in the midst of adversity and still, we teach life. We teach love. And through it all, we even manage to teach forgiveness.And this is why i get pissed off when anyone says Blacks are stupid or lazy to think. No, Blacks think. Its just that we are too busy thinking about how to survive and to get out of the concrete jungle alive!!!
