BIG NEWS to report on... (repair & reparations)
Yesterday, the United Nations passed a resolution in agreement with President Mahama of Ghana, who made the case that the treatment of African peoples over the past 600 years should be declared "the gravest Crime against Humanity." If you didn't know this happened, this message is to let you know. This is a message for everyone Some of you fight to ease your own pain and facilitate the repair of individuals in your care; others among you fight for justice. If you quietly shoulder the burden of witnessing "man's inhumanity to man" to gain outsized wealth, control of "black gold" (oil) energy, STOP DOING THAT. This UN declaration could be some form of relief, however distant. (Another history/story entirely.) YOU ARE NOT ALONE in wanting to RELEASE what probably is a buried wound of unarticulated, mass trauma. YOU ARE NOT ALONE as you real-eyes how important it is that the whole world ACKNOWLEDGE the pain. (123 countries said Yes; 52 abstentions; 3 No's) This is the first step. While the HealMobile microcosmically assists, energetically and through prayers, this global recognition reflects the macrocosm, or closer to it, of the African holocaust of dehumanization, abuse, enslavement and trafficking. The planet affirms that healing Mother Africa and her children MUST OCCUR, and that REPARATIONS ARE THE SOLUTION. (The pushback is interesting, but another story.) All boats will lift and peace will reign if this is taken very seriously. "I PROMISE!" This is where I stand, and I'm doing my small part. -------------------------- Full Disclosure: I am a member of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in American (NCOBRA) and the International Black Summit Inc (IBS) .
