Living forward/understanding backwards

Finding your journal online was akin to taking a breath of fresh air after a very long time. I have been looking for you for a very long time and now that I have found you I will endeavor to support you in every way I can.

Peace to you and your readership! If we are unable to learn from the lessons of the past we certainly can't go too far forward (See In addressing the plight of the oppressed peoples of the earth, we must come to some very basic conclusions very fast, because time is running out for all of us. As the old saying goes: "The Leopard does not change it's spots nor the Tiger it's stripes." We are getting bogged down deeper and deeper in the quicksand of false hopes. Those who have oppressed us and in many instances still oppress us in one way or another will not change because they are incapable of change.

I think the good Bishop and a great many of us oppressed folks have overlooked the fact that "Whites" are not sorry, and to "hope" that they will be sorry has been one great exercise in futility. Yes, there are a few who do care but they make up the vast minority and are looked upon as traitors by their own people.

We must stop wasting valuable time hoping (& praying) that "they" will change.
