Slavery

Why is it that when talking about problems in the black community or racial relations between African Americans and white people, there are those white people that always give that sigh when slavery is brought up? “Always with slavery” “Of COURSE you bring up slavery” “Slavery yeah yeah yeah” “Yes, we get it, slavery” as if though that isn’t a key context point in the history of black people in the United States and our problems, culture, and relationship with white people. Sure, it was a long time ago. But, you don’t think that after it ended it just all suddenly stopped? Like, there were no consequences that are directly linked to slavery and the immediate aftermath of slavery? So, yeah, people start with slavery, because that is indeed where it starts, and you can’t paint a full picture on racial topics involving African Americans without fully acknowledging and understanding that

“Each time you breathe out, breathe out all of the things in you that keep you from knowing your true self; breathe out all the separateness, all the feelings of unworthiness, all the self pity, all the attachment to your pain. Breath out anger and doubt and greed and lust and confusion.”

— Ram Dass

How to Accept Yourself

1. Focus on your positive qualities. It’s true that we can all improve in some ways – but start by finding your good qualities – and recognise that these are a major part of who you are.

2. Be aware of, and fight against, your negative self-talk. Negative self talk can quickly snowball and become an angry tirade against yourself – so you become your own worst critic and your own worst enemy. Instead, choose to respect yourself, to love, affirm and believe in yourself.

3. Don’t dwell on things you know you cannot change. We all have imperfections, weaknesses and flaws. They’re really not that crucial, and they’re not that big a deal. Try to keep them in perspective – and change what you CAN change.

4. Make your own decisions – don’t always look to others, and think that they know better … But choose to trust yourself.

5. Always try to do your best – as that’s all that is required. You’re a normal human being who’ll sometimes get it wrong. Get up, forgive youself, then just choose to move on.
