Racism at school
Elizabeth Ann
Eckford, a student and a key figure at the Little Rock Central High School is pictured being followed, booed, and yelled at by a mob of whites.
She was among the group of the nine African-American students famous for having desegregated the school in 1957. A closer look at the lady on the right, you can see the chilling, unreasonable dislike in her eyes. This reflects on the history of Apartheid Education in America.
In the deep sea, the big fish has no sympathy for the helpless small fish. They intimidate the small ones and always try to eat them up.
That was once the hostile situation in America years back, in every sector, including the educational sector, against African-Americans.

It’s very embarrassing to see such images in America, a country that believes in democracy, above all they say: In God We Trust.
The more disturbing factor is, America provided a “safe haven” in the United States for Nazi criminals and their collaborators after World War II, yet subjected African-Americans to abuse, discrimination, lynching, experimentation, and slavery.
Abolition of slavery is a fact recorded in history, but the
reality is, it still exists in many places around the globe, including America
today because we live in a violent and corrupt society.
How many years now did America start fighting against an
illegal drug entering its sovereignty? Because of corruption, the country is
plagued by cocaine and other dangerous drugs, drastically taking its toll on
many citizens.
There was a time if you are an honest hard worker, with
distinguished achievements in the society, you will be awarded, but now those
who commit serious crimes against humanity are those that receive that awards,
including the Nobel Prize.
Among the ring of liars, if you want to remain
different and live in truth, you will eventually become an enemy.
Do you feel this world is okay? Are you happy about the
turmoil and the path of doom the world has taken? Why are politicians fighting for
power when they don’t have any means to save this world?
Nothing in this world
seems to be going better or doing well. Everything has taken the wrong path.
Whether Africans were used as Guinea pigs in testing drugs,
whether Aids, Ebola, Lassa, and other deadly diseases, were bio-weapons against
Africans to depopulate the continent, or whether African-Americans were used
for experimentation, the Black man has survived today. That power wasn’t strong
enough to wipe out the black race.
Black history is a sad song and a rough road. Even though
it’s like an image hanging on the wall, the Black man should change that sad
song to a happy song and straighten up that rough road ahead of him. We should
let go of hatred, jealousy, racism, racial discrimination, and hypocrisy to embrace
love in our community.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts
always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” — 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a.
