O knihe

A history that has been hidden in the darkness, kept form the world to legitimise theft, violence, and dishonour. Whole edifices have been built to this idiom.

Nor do they sink into the dark sullen debased vengeful hate typical of those who urged and advocated the construct of racism, they have not taken hatred's bate. They have not succumbed to the urges of paranoia revenge so readily given into by the Europeans, even after the murder of their brothers, sisters, their children, and their wife's, not even after their rape, maiming, and barbaric lynching. The black man /woman are truly remarkable human beings, from truly magnificent ancestors, a truly magnificent people. Surely, if human beings are made in the image of God the Father, then they are made in this image- a servant, humble, forgiving, strong, loving, durable, resourceful, clever, persistent, proud, flexible, humble, hard-working, generous, innovative, intelligent, understanding, inventive, creative and a survivor, black survivor...
