[MadameX]

Since when has the struggle of our ancestors had a so called dark side. Perhaps, this may be the case for those with inferoirty complex with being Black in society and comfronting the day to day struggle which crosses all economic ladders due to the color of our skin regardless of income status. What kind of Tom philosphy is this?

Hmm.Somebody has been watching to much Oreo Daytime TV. Look at the melontonin running through your veins, you sure as hell can't wash it off. Time to put the Afro back in the chat. Let's reflect on the wisdom of the lyrics from Late Great Brotha Curtis Mayfield.



Choice of Colors- Curtis Mayfield


If you had a choice of color
Which one would you choose my brothers
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right
How long have you hated your white teacher
Who told you, you love your black preacher
Do you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks not of kin
People must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation
Would make a better society

Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
Than to bring about a little trust
But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
If you'll only listen to what I have to say
And how long have you hated your white teacher
Who told you, you love your black preacher
Can you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks not of kin
I said now people must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation
Would make a better society
And if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose my brothers
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right
And If you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose my brothers
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be right
