Mental Slavery

I learned that mentally slavery is when you  know the things you are doing is wrong but you're still doing it.What am I doing to free myself from slavery? Well I'm going to school and I'm trying to go to college and to be someone and not think about the past. When I say past I'm talking about slavery.

What keeps people enslave? Think that we as black people are still (well some of us) is still on the slavery thing and some of them still don't know that white people helped us through the struggles. That's something I found out this this year.

So what are you doing to free yourself from Mental slavery?

To be a slave

I had this story read to me and the story was called "To be a slave" by Julius Lester.In this story the slave had sex with the slave owner and they had a mix baby .The slave owner was teaching his kid how to write and how to read, basically he was teaching his son how to be a man and not a slave.He told his son never let anybody take his freedom,but on the other hand the slave master still has slaves working for him. My thoughts are how could you help your son and he is black and still have slaves on your plantation? What do you think about that?
