I don't know how to speak about this day. Thankful it came for all of those who were slaves.
Thank this day for the ancestors for Eugene Goodman

I am saddened on this day that the human mind and ego still are more present than the human heart in this world. Separateness will destroy our whole world.. planet included.

My girlfriend and I were looking for documentaries about 2 weeks ago and stumbled upon
"12 years A Slave"
Dear God I could not get past a scene part way in when he got to a farm
After having watched the auction in the kidnappers home
The children ripped from the Mother
Then he kicked the ass of the slave master and they kidnapped him and were going to hang him

I couldn't keep going...
As a child I held in higher regard the Emotional Intelligence of Slaves more than most anything.. How could "Love Thy Enemy" and Christian Hymns be sung while going through this (bleep).

Know that a vote for a Republican is a vote for Racism/Slavery/Hate
