Afro-American Community

gagged-aa.jpg (229388 bytes)Here is an interesting history lesson that I was emailed:  A World Without Our People.  Please share this with your children because I know they are not taught this in school.

This page concentrates on African-American history and culture because it is so special to me and so much a part of my life.  My daughter is half African-American.  I was with her mother for almost eleven years so I was considered by man to be an "honorary brother".  While I felt racial discrimination from time to time having been in an interracial relationship for over a decade, I still was perceived as white when I was not with my ex-wife.  So, in comparison to our historical predecessors, what she and I had to endure was nothing.

Racism is the only reason why the United States will never achieve the socialist ideals of our European sister states.  I am not a strict socialist, but I know what works.  Paris is a good example of a jurisdiction that tries not to feed on racism to further fallacious political gain.

Many African-American women who I admire for their work in the arts and in the community are on my Divas/Music Page, including Patti LaBelle, Nancy Wilson, Whitney Houston and Deniece Williams, et al.

Interestingly I came across this story about slavery in the United States by someone with the same name as my late father.  I couldn't resist but to link to it here:  William Hayden.
