modern day slave traits

Modern-Day Slave Traits

(1)A modern-day slave will neglect to educate himself, which in turn creates mental slavery. (During slavery, Blacks were prohibited from learning to read or write. So, these days, everyone should take advantage of the opportunity to get an education.)
(2) A modern-day slave will swindle and commit other crimes against his own people and others instead of helping to break the chains of poverty by earning an honest living.
(3)A modern-day slave will perpetuate self-hate through committing violence on people of his same ethnicity, such as black-on-black violence, including murder, which is a form of genocide.
(4) A modern-day slave will deal, buy and/or use drugs that will make him and others function as slaves (addicts) to drugs, slaves to misery and slaves to defeat.
(5) A modern-day slave will adopt the wicked ways of the slave master, who disrespected and abused women.
(6) A modern-day slave will abandon his children leaving them for someone else to raise just as the old masters abandoned Black children by selling them off to other slave owners, not caring about their fate.
(7) A modern-day slave will foolishly commit crimes that cause him to end up behind bars, incarcerated, in mental and physical bondage.

Look within yourself for any similarities and eliminate your modern-day slave traits. If you cannot admit to any of the seven signs, you are in denial.
But all is not lost. The first step toward defeating a slave mentality begins with your acknowledgment that it exists

Good post ma. The elements of slavery in our collective psych is so real.

I am around a lot of drug users at this present. It doesn't seem to bother them that someone else has to buy them draws to wear and make sure they have something to eat. This is our new slavery for sure.

I tried to love and help an addict, not possible. They have to love and want to help themselves. When you are on crack that drug is everything to you. Nothing else in the world matters.

We must find a way to get our people off of drugs, especially crack.
