Wet Foot, Dry Foot Reflection

What do we stand for as a people? Is the question I asked myself? Do we stand for nothing and fall for everything we hear and see through media and television? Do we allow politics to brainwash us with their under-handed skims that allow us to think they are for the people, trying to be a better nation under God? Do we live our daily lives in deceit and plain out ignorance because we believe and feel to be free and librated from man? After reading the article, I was enlighten, well-informed and set FREE from the bondages of the lack of knowledge that goes on in this world. We, as a people in whole no matter from what part of the world must come into the knowledge and sovereignty of our culture and history. I cannot began to fathom on what our government has portrayed to acts of innocence but clearly deceiving the American people. As I continued to read this article, my thoughts reflected on the Haitian population. It is time to stop blaming and pointing the fingers, but replicate back on the history and disturbing acts that was committed years and years ago from the country’s politics and government. Destruction has been into play even before all the issues of migration took place. When are we going to stand up for our rights and began to free ourselves from irrational bondages of hear- say? We base our beliefs and hatred towards people and yet to know why we came to those conclusions. In order for one to be librated, one must first liberate themselves. This battle of the wet foot, dry foot issue is unjust, unmerited, and plain out UNFAIR! I honestly, do not like to go into one culture vs. the other but let us begin to think on what’s right and start putting those thoughts into motions. Let’s begin to doing the right thing for ALL PEOPLE. A lot of these major events took place, during times of discrimination and segregation and the during those time “white man” did not believe in giving black Americans the opportunity to advance in life or to make a better living for our legacy. Black Americans have been in bondage and slavery for many and many of years even to this day. We see our fellow brother or sister down and over look them because we are AFRAID they may over step us or become better than we are, but people it is time for us to make a change! This is a time for all people black and white to make a difference for the sanctity of all God’s creatures. Are we really living our Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream just because we have a black president in office? Or are we still in-slaved by the snares of our ancestors. People we must take a stand for something or we will fall for anything.
