Youth is supposed to belong and come from innocence and the exploration of what it is to emerge from it with questions and answers. Taken away youth is violated. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11/17/17
Jade Nile's innocence is her advantage for one, and disadvantage to what stakes a woman in her values. "Is that so?" one would ask of her, a woman whose punany is her meal ticket, and cost paid for fame. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11/17/17
Reacting to the visual of two Black men, Garfield Burley and Curtis Brown, hung from a telephone pole, by a mob of 500 white men, women and children, October 8, 1902, in Newbern, Tennessee; who refused the assessment of a Criminal Court Judge Maiden pleading for them to wait for a trail the next day! They couldn't. They didn't. These were white people acting out the conditioning from their homelands.
Reading the reactions of Black American women is painful, but laced with truthful insights, and the nuances of clarity the general population practices not looking their way. One woman, Sandra Mitchell said:
For those who care, the pain of women speaking from the pain in their birth places hurts the ears, and stabs into the heart of being African in America! It took me two days to find and unearth my words to say:
"... Sandra, the depth of your pain is a recollection you didn't have to live, but you feel. For that it is good because it keeps the spirits of our ancestors as a cry echoing in daily life. Whites try to minimize the strength and the power of what is your angst, but the echoes persist as white men kill without regard for the 'why' of their way, of their spiritual make up. What force keeps them at bay?
So far, there isn't one. Not even Jesus has that power! Maybe, if women were connected to their wombs, and developed themselves to use those powers from on high, and from depth within, changes will occur from deep within? Maybe, but that requires awakening and the cultural dictates people sleep, waiting for a Messiah!" - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11/8/17
