I took this from Baisden Live because he echoes my thoughts exactly. Seems some people only waking up to what happened to our own flesh and blood as they have been looking at some movie called 12 Years a Slave. Better late than never I say. Heres Baisdens exact words....I woke up in the middle of the night still troubled by the images I had seen in the movie, 12 Years A Slave. I couldn’t get the scene out of my mind of the families being torn apart and auctioned off to different plantations; mother and child and brother and sister never to see each other again. As my eyes slowly opened... slightly watery I played back the horrific sound of the slave masters whip as it tore the flesh off the black female character’s back. The sight of the blood shooting profusely from her body made my blood boil. I was pissed! But my anger wasn’t only for the institution of slavery or the cruel slave masters that raped, tortured, and murdered our people, my disdain was focused mainly on those black and brown people who don’t realize we are still enslaved…in many ways worse than legalized slavery
