If someone asked, "Who are you?", what would be your response? Would you even know what to say? Will you define yourself based on the relationships you hold? The job you have? The accomplishments you made? Or will you give them the scientific answer?? Will you tell them your species? Will you state your [European] name? Will you mention where you came from.. I mean, where you are forced to be?? WHO ARE YOU?? Do you know your true ancestry and genealogy or did you just accept the [fake ass] "fact" that you were "discovered" or "brought to the US as slaves".. Did you even question what everyone told you? Did you look it up for yourself? Where was your great, great grandfather born? Do you know? Who was HE? Have you ever tried to find out? Which aspect of civilization did YOUR people invent? What was your original language/dialect? What are your talents? What were THEIR talents? Which ones were passed down to you? Where did you religion come from? Why do you believe? What is the most important part of your culture? What is your favorite aspect of your culture? How do you preserve your culture? What is your history? What role have your people played, historically? WHO ARE YOU? Why do you look like that? Why do you think like this? Why don't you act them? Why don't they like you? Where do you live? Where do you come from.. no, seriously, at the beginning of time.. WHERE WERE YOU?
If you are unable to answer these questions, then you have NO IDEA who you are. You claim you do.. you claim you are real.. you claim you are your "own person" but all you have really done, is allow everyone else to tell you who THEY think you should be. You have just been a follower your whole life, waiting for someone to put you where they want you. Waiting for others [who know NOTHING about you] to tell you who you should be.
Take some time out to think.. so that you can know. Knowledge is Power. WHO ARE YOU?
Step 1:You must know where you came from, to know where you are going. (Or else you may wind up going around in circles.)
Peace
