This is a freelance and I just felt a need to appreciate the black culture and everything it represents. It’s also a means to allow us understand that there should be lno divide amongst us and that we are all a part of God’s divine plan. Equality is key.Colours, so many colours but then one colour stands out… black. A colour so consuming, so special, but one at first does not see the truth behind it. One might not understand the mystery behind this colour. The emotions, the struggle, the stories, the love behind this one colour. We overlook it. Black is the colour of untamed urges. Its is the colour of men and women with beautiful minds and terrifying pasts. It’s not just a colour, it’s a culture. Our skin showing our abundance in melanin. The pure euphoria one gets when they finally understand this beautiful concept. The black history so inspiring yet so heartbreaking. The tales of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela and other amazing black people whose lives and works attest to the fact that being black is a struggle. Negro, they call us. Our blackness a constant reminder of the dark pasts we have. The families broken, the lives lost, the pain. Segregation,the monster that divided us all those years. The wars fought,the brothers lost,the blood shed on the battleground war front, guns pulled out ready to fire. Black blood dripping from the hands of the mercenaries.. our supposed superiors. Coloured people being treated like dirt. The rise of our heroes. The fight for recognition, for our rights. The days lapse, sun and moon forgotten and then eerie silence, soundless tranquility.Then a sound breaks through, one so beautiful, so foreign… laughter. A girl, white girl hand in hand with a black girl. The image so heart melting, the possibility of something so beautiful happening seemingly impossible. The contrast between the two skin tones evident but the harmony… ying yang. Black and white, a combination so unlikely but when brought together resulting in so much happiness, togetherness. A sight so enchanting that it bores deep into your soul and stirs something within you. Integration now achieved, unity in diversity ….. a world no longer black and white but black with white.
