Slavery does not only intale the rapture and confinement of a person physically, but one can be capture/tortured within the bounderies of their mind. Slavery can often relate to a mindset, a way of belief and thinking, or in actuality, a lack of fruitful thinking. Malcolm X said "There are slaves living around even today."

Accepting less than what is natually granted. The acceptance of the position in ones life even if unhappiness cohabits. Buying into a forced reality even though it feels just that...forced. Give thanks Ras_tyehimba for this quote. Feeling blessed to be here, ..Kingston.. |
