I am a child of slaves. I am a child of first generation black Americans to have their own New York City Home. I am a child of a African American family to be the first to go to college. I am a mother of a black child who is first generation to play tennis as his major sport of skill.
I am African American wife of a skizophrenic, (who has been missing for ten years). I am an African American wife of a African American male skizphonprenic- who has not provided child support for ten years due to his missing status and the RULES that govern the Social Security Administration.
I am an African American who can not get HEAP HELP (GOVERNMENTAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR UTILITY BILLS i.e. Gas and Electric) because the government states that SINGLE PARENT STATUS…EARNING $43,000.00 PER YEAR, PAYING $1600.00 for 3 bedroom apartment in New York City, paying full utilties of building, $158.00 per month car insurance, extremely high milk, juice, fruit, meat, vegetables, personal care products, clothing, medical needs insurances, life insurances on my self valued at over $100,00.00 disability insurances on myself (especially since my missing sick husband left me responsible for my child), catastrophic disease insurances on my self.
Having detailed my financial condition as a 48 yearold African American Daughter of slave ancestors….It would appear that I have the same if not similar problems as my white counter part Americans in some cases.
However, what makes me believe that I do deserve a form if not actual SLAVE REPARATION–is that I would have completed COLLEGE many years ago—if it had not been for BEOG/ PELL AND TAP GRANTS BEING DENIED!
Those grants were denied me when I was 21 years old! I had just been accepted into CBS Television Internship Program through Queens College in the Journalism department. I was registering for my course that was applied to the internship and was told by the college that PELL GRANTS, BEOG AND TAP Aide had been denied to me because I had used up all of my POINTS!
I did not financial aide available!!! I had ignorantly retaken courses that I had failed and then passed. However, my re-registering for those courses had caused me to use up my points.
My Academic Counselor named Barbara Blank did not guide me properly, —I am truly not clear on how this terrible mistake occured.
Whatever caused this terrible error…caused me to have to leave college after I had already completed 61 credits!!!!
The financial aide counselor had discussed the problem with my mother….my African American mother….another daughter of ancestral slaves….My mother whose parents had not been educated higher than elementary school in Virgina (Drakes Branch, and Farmville Virgina to be exact).
My mother had an option explained to her by the financial aide counselor….”Refinance your house so that your daughter could finish college.”
My mother, descendant of slaves flatly stated,” NO! I am not wasting my mortgage on that!”
My sister, who did not complete college and who was 6 years older than me– had been whispering into my mother’s ears heavily.
She did not want me to complete college…because she was jealous and she told my mother that I becoming a CAREER COLLEGE STUDENT….LEARNING BUT NEVER GRADUATING.
I was only 21 years old at that time. Also CBS television internship supervisor in charge of my internship had promised me a great future! I had to compete against other people—HUNDREDS! .. inorder to get accepted into that internship!
I had made an impression on the CBS Internship program…but now! My financial aide points had run out from Pell Grant, BEOG, and TAP were no longer funding my education.
I could not work to make enough money to pay for those classes,–tuition was a mere $900.00 back then….but it was still to high for a full time college student.
The final outcome is this….I left college, unable to pay for it.
My mother, daughter of Slave ancestry could not see the benefit of helping me to complete my education because her thinking back then was limited and poisoned by my sister’s jealousy.
Thus I left college, severly let down….my mother, daughter of slaves told me to just get a job….My mother could not understand the circumstances that would notw shape my life and her’s forever!
I went to a business school, I went to Taylor Business Institute! I learned secretarial skills. ((question–why was I able to get a loan for a trade school and not a college???))
I was hired by a temp agency and began the long road back to college. I began paying for my classes one at a time….I was eventually hired full time by J. Michael Bloom Talent Agency.
My big mistake was that I got married. The marriage did not prevent me from being educated…but I began to rearrange my goals around the marriage. My husband and I did accomplish some goals like buying a house, and having a child.
My African American husband wanted me to complete college…but coming full circle my husband suffered catastrophic severe skizphrenia and left me with bankruptcy,loss of a home to foreclosure, and a child to raise.
I am currently working on a job for the past 19 years that has abosultely NOTHING to do with my original college related goals. The job helps pay for food, and rent–barely–.
I struggle due to the previous explained debts that I worry about daily.
HIND sight is not twenty-twenty for me.
I knew that my level of success would not be fulfilled if I could not complete that INTERNSHIP AT CBS AND REGISTER FOR MY CLASSES WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD.
However, not having an educated family, that would understand the value of an education, and the financial scarifices required to accomplish that goal…thus here I sit today….BLOGGING…out my frustration.
My actual, blogging is healthy for me…but it cannot replace the years of economic success I have not ever experienced, education, and opportunities that I have missed out on.
Blogging cannot give me financial power to help cover the debts that HEAP will not help me to pay …because I am just $50 or more dollars over their limit of assistance for a single parent with only 1 (one) child.
I have been told that I have to have more children to be eligible to receive government assistance.
The goal in this article is to explain why SLAVE REPARATIONS would have helped a person like myself.
I have been working ever since I had to leave college.
Understand that I only left college because I had no money to pay for tuition. They would not allow me to take a loan….my mother would not refinance her home (which she actually did refinance some years later…so she could make a basment apartment for rental purposes)—I have always pushed to further my education, I recently partly completed a program NYACK Adult Continuing education–called ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGMENT…I have to pay off about $600.00 and complete three essays to receive my Bachaelor of Science in Organizational Managament.
I should have done this two years ago. So what is the hold up you ask? I have my child who has been suffering with seizure disorder increasingly over the past two years, and I also am caring for my mother who has become an invalid and stroke victim over the past 4 years.
So here I sit. I am gearing up to complete my 3 essays in the next few weeks and receive my full credit and I can graduate in November of this year.
I have traveled a long road. I know there are many others who have traveled a long road as well.
Do I believe that educational reparations would have helped me….OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE HELPED ME!
My educational goals would not have been tied to my mother’s personal finances..and I would have been able to complete the internship at CBS in Journalism.
What type of EDUCATIONAL REPARATIONS would I have used you might ask? Here is my concept of the best form of education reparations for children of ancestral African American Slaves:
- SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE AND RECEIVE GED/HIGHSCHOOL DIPLOMA
- MAINTAIN PASSING GRADES IN COLLEGE
- TAKE REMEDIAL COURSES TO IMPROVE ACADEMICS AND SUCCESSFULLY PASS ALL REMEDIAL COURSES
- NO—-TERM LIMITS ON EDUCATION
- STUDENTS MUST ENROLL IN COLLEGE CONSEQUTIVELY—UNLESS EMERGENCY IN FAMILY, MEDICAL PROBLEMS, FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES TO BE EVALUATED BY REPARATIONS COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC REPARATIONS
- SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE BACHELOR OF any ACCREDITED COLLEGE, IVY LEAGUE, CITY, STATE COLLEGE PROGRAM
- SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE ANY INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
- SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE ANY TRADE PROGRAM: ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, TRUCKING, NURSING, CAR REPAIR AND DESIGN, ETC.,
- SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE PROGRAMS AND HAVE ACADEMIC GOALS, AND JOB BOOKLET ON PERSONAL/INDIVIDUAL ASSESEMENT, and RESUME– COMPLETED AT THE END OF EACH SEMESTER.
- MAINTAIN ATLEAST A — C– AVERAGE…WITH EXPLANATION OF GRADES AND RESTRAINTS AND DETAILING PROBLEMS RELATED TO COMPLETION OF ACADEMIC GOALS TO BE EVALUATED DIRECTLY BY ACADEMIC REPARATIONS COMMITTEE.
- FULL TUITION PAYMENT FOR ALL AFRCIAN AMERICAN SLAVE DECENDANTS
- FULL TUTITION FOR BACHELOR, MASTERS PROGRAMS.
- FULL TUTITION PAID FOR DOCTORATE AFTER PROVIDING 4OOO HOURS OF MENTORING, PROJECT GIVE BACK, AND EACH ONE TEACH ONE PROGRAMS FOR SUMMER YOUTH AND YOUNG MOTHER PROGRAMS.
- FULL TUTITION PAYMENTS FOR 2ND BACHELOR DEGREE FOR 7000 HOURS OF MENTORING, PROJECT GIVE BACK, AND EACH ONE TEACH ONE PROGRAMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN REPARATIONS PROGRAM.
- ALL CANDIDATES MUST SUBMITT DOCUMENTED PROOF OF 3000 HOUR AND 7000 HOUR GIVE BACK AND MENTORING PROGRAMS INORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR DOCTORATE PROGRAMS AND 2ND DEGREE PROGRAMS.
- ALL GRADUATES ARE REQUIRED TO GIVE 100 HOURS YEARLY TO TALKS AT ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, JUNIOR HIGHSCHOOL EDUCATION, HIGHSCHOOL EDUCATION, AND COLLEGE PROGRAMS FOR MENTORING AND PASSING ON THE LEGACY OF THE BENEFITS OF EDCUATION AND TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPARATIONS AND BECOMING SUCCESSFUL IN ATTAINING ACADEMIC GOALS THAT ARE A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE IN THE AFRiCAN AMERICAN SLAVE DESCENDANTS.
This is my concept of proper reparations. I would abide by these rules so that I could have the opportunities to pass on the goals and future that keep America growing and great.
We as a American Citizens do not need a hand out! We need a hand UP! Help me to educate myself so that I can help continue the legacy of Pride in the United States as a Super Power in the World. Help me to educate myself so that I can give back to the generations to come.
As it stands right now…I can only give this blogg!!!!
I could do so much more if my education was free…but with RESPONSIBILTY AND DEFINITELY STRINGS ATTACHED. The type of strings attached will cause success in the future decendants of slaves…but those decendants would eventually be called desendants of SUCCESSFULL AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO HAVE MENTORED, AND GAVE BACK, THEREBY ASSISTING THE UNITED STATES TO MAINTAIN ITS ECONOMIC STRENGTH, EDUCATIONAL POWER, LITERACY, AND GROWTH IN THE WORLD.
WITH EDUCATION….COMES AN EMPOWERED WORKFORCE THAT CAN STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMY…..CRIME BASED ON ECNOMICS WILL GO DOWN IN MINORITY COMMUNITIES, BLACK MALES WILL BE INSPIRED TO GATHER RESOURCES AND BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL AND STRONG. YOUNG WOMEN WILL GATHER RESOURCES AND BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL AND STRONG.
The program of reparations needs to be looked at.
It may take many years for it to come about.
MOst likely not in my life time, or even my child’s life time.
But the concept does need to be addressed.
Maybe my concepts are not all acceptable… there may be better methods of ACADEMIC REPARATIONS.
IN CONCLUSION:
DO NOT GIVE ME THE FORTY ACRES AND AN MULE….
I WANT A FREE….RESPONSIBILITY ACADEMIC BASED REPARATION FOR DESCENDANTS OF AFRICAN SLAVES.
(((JOBS WILL COME WITH AN EDUCATED WORK FORCE!!!)))
NOTE…MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES MAKE EDCUATION FREE FOR ALL!!!!
REPARATIONS ON AN ACADEMIC LEVEL WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECONOMIC STANDING OF THE UNITED STATES AS A SUPER POWER AND ALSOIN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AS WELL.

I have been on a journey…
My friend
I have not been lost
intentionally
but a journey of length
and depth has
challenged my
very heart and soul
I have gathered need
and gathered sorrow
My journey leads me
down dark alleys
bright rooms,
painful thoughts
and haunting fears
Tears are worthless
here on my journey
But the tears still come
and roll down my cheeks
like snowballs gathering
size and speed
My nose and face feel clogged
from the emotions spent
on this journey
Come free me my friend
from this torment
But I do not cry for myself
I cry for another
My son, my dear son
What will be?
Sickness again claimed
him on June 24 after
his American History
Regents exam…of which he
did receive an 88!
The victory of his passing
is overshadowed by the
illness that gripped him in
its stealy hands
I wish for him joy,
health, and happines…
I pray for him health, health, and more health
So that has been my journey my friend
Seeking health and strength for
the child of my womb
The child I had prayed for 15 years ago
is in a battle for his life….
So my journey is not a lonely one
but a hard. brittle, prickly one
Where have I been? Right here,
at home, at work, but journey is a battle of
the mind and strength of the
spirit.
JOurney is to walk a walk of faith,
and endurance…
So I have not called you, written you,
but I know you are still there.
I will not go,
while I continue this journey, whose
destination I yet do not know.

scroll of a writ
of so long ago
Thousands of years
hid away
Moments in the hands of
an anthropologist
crackling under his
sweaty palms
grasp
the dry old parchment
will melt away
if not put in sealed
archival containers
dry like the old linen dress
of yesteryear
like a ball of cottom in my mouth
the medical diagnosis
has come and gone
and now my sensations are
minimized
except for the diagnosis
pain that is ripping its’
way deep into my heart.
Trying to explain to my
child that he has to
take medication to save his
life.
Cotton mouth,
loss of taste for the
things you love.
Loss of sensation in my
feet and hands
Sitting I type not
feeling, not
wanting to feel the pain
deep searing a tunnel through
my stomach
I feel full,
gas overcomes my belly
cotton mouth
prevents me from
eating
like the fullness of
emptiness I hold
deep in my belly to
unfold until I scream from
pain and agony
Take the truth,
dealt the truth
no compassion
was the final blow
given
lost in a new
hell
fear of the unknown and
the diagonosis compells
the rickety fence of hell to
open and reveal the ominous
cavern that threatens to swallow
us whole
We must proceed my child
we must go in
Cotton mouth,
sweaty palms,
sweaty feet,
sudden compulsion to
release bodily fluids,
fight or flight sydrome
in full affect
compel me oh Lord
toward the light
Let taste return
Cotton Mouth–
I cannot swallow
for the diagnosis
itself is not paletable
The diagnosis was
given with such cold
precision like the blade
of the surgeons knife
Hold my hand my child
walk together we will
toward the tower of hell
but together we will
climb to heaven
despite the steely grasp of the Cotton mouth!
Cross Over

Cross Over and move out the way
Sometimes the river does not
sway, the tide is high and
my spirit is low
I do not want to look back
or let go
What do I say to my child
to day
His love of life has
been challenged,
like a dry twig broken
and chips of it splinter
and fall away
His health is limited
yet a picture of health
is he
So why this sad problem
that plagues me today
The doctor looks cool, and
medical team too serene
Your child has to take
xxxmiligrams and
that is all…
Have a nice day
Go forth, leave the
hospital and jump back
into the stream. river of life
and move on
after this limited 5 day
hospital stay
But wait, I have more questions,
What about the side affects….
“OH, he just might be a bit sleepy…that is all
any way…have a good day!
No, NO! I need to say this, I have to ask
that….do not dismiss me so easily
For I must fight for my child
I must question, and stay longer if
I must
For though you are the doctor…I cannot
entirely trust
for each patient has
different needs, and questions…so let us reason,
let us rationalize before we say our goodbyes!
So again I say dear Doctor
today—crossover from your generalized sermon, and
medical doctrine
Crossover to a parent who is human, and alive..
Because the condition of which you speak
is not simple to me
not simple to my child
just simple medical diagnosis to you
So please….cross over from the cold
cruel world of illness
disease
and speak
Woman to Woman, possibly Mother to Mother
please.

Wonderful!

Yes, Just Wonderful!
The weather is bright,
The moon is just right……
Wonderful!
But yet—I cry.
Why me I said,
the child of mine lays
flat on the bed.
The sun is shining brightly outside
his bedroom window.
We were just getting ready to go home
And he became ill.
Wonderful, I had said,
Marvelous, Great Fantastic
I thought and then
he was prone
attacked by a seizure.
“I Need Help! I Need Help! I NEED HELP! I NEED HELP!
Was all I could say
I wanted to wail,
and scream and
drive that evil away!
I can’t watch, I can’t see
the Evil wretch which
threatened and attacked
my fifteen yearold baby!
So what?…that he is fifteen….does it matter?
If your husband, or wife take ill….does it
matter that he or she is 50 years old? or 35 years old?
Sickness, disease….NEVER come at the right time!
Death does not live in a life of reason
or ryhme….So please do not
ask me, or chide me and say….HOW OLD IS YOUR SON?
For when he lay prone against the hospital bed, and nothing left
to be said—-Look at him with love, look at him
with compassion…..for your family, your friends could be
sick tomorrow or the
day after…..just pray for me today
Don’t say, Well, he IS 15!
Well, a lady whose husband passed away at the age of 45 from a massive
heart attack was older….and the loss is deep, and troubling nonetheless…..–Remember Jack Ritter who died from a Massive Heart tear?— from
Three’s Company Fame?—Everyone Cared…and Cried
all the same!
Just offer a hand or a hug of compassion,
and a gentle breeze of concern….
Do not dismiss my challenge with
How Old is he? Even if he were age 18—-he still would need MY help!
Yes, he is still my child….
So yes, Wonderful!
It truly is Wonderful…when people can be responsive in a most
pleaseant way.
Why don’t you try that approach
today?
P.S.
THANKYOU SYNDER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL @ LongIsland Jewish for helping my son—No matter what his Age!
FINI!
