"I be who I be!"

"Plain and simple, I be who I be!  I ain't nobody but pure me.  I can't please you and you can't please me.  We not gon' lak the same thangs.  We are not gon' have the same expuriences on dis earf.  Jest when are you gon be real!?  You know you got dem two voices.  When you at work or on a bizness call you talk "white".  But, jest as soon as you git home you take dat ova'shoulder boulder holder off.  (As a matter of fact you fling it!  You have learned how to unsnap that torturous bra while driving in bumper to bumper traffic.  We got the nerve to criticize Muslims bout hi dey treat dey wimmen..  Why we "do dat" ladies? Sorry, I'll save that for another rant.)

Most wimmen go straight to the kitchen after they strip their bodies of the trappings of civilization.  Wig, shoes, ear bobs, eva'thang tight.  Glad to be home, glad to relax, glad to act the n*****.  (No grammar check, I don't have to slow my brain down to ar-ti-cu-late the King's English.  I am around my people and I don't haf'ta worry 'bout nobody thinking' I'm dumb because I said "seben" instead of "seven.")

Point is you understood me.  Second point is I ain't gon put on fah you.  I ain't got to pretend for nobody.  We all rocking in the same old boat.  We are all GOD's churin.  You can blive dem lies dat yo' color make you bedder dan some one else if you want to.  Language ain't nothing but a form of communication.  Just cause I take the time to ar-ti-cu-late don't mean I'm tellin the truf.  It don't mean I am steering you in the right direction.

I'm sorry! Hep me LAWD! I can't stand phony people!  You know people dat put on trying to make out lak dey is mo dan what dey is.  "I talk proper because I am smarter than you, better than You!My life is perfect! I have never made a mistake in my entire life.  My entire family is perfect! I have far more money than I will ever need or use (but I ain't giving you none)"

Are you you?  I mean do you even know who you are?  Do you know why you think the way you do?  Are your ideas and beliefs really your own?

No, I am not saying you should not continue your "professional show" while at work or on the phone.  You have to be able to communicate with others that may not be able to keep up with "Ebonics".  But always know who you are.  Always love you.  Be you! Be who you is!

When I was in college we burned our bras.  That is a whole "nother" story.  I will tell you about that later.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember;"Apart from Christ we nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
Rachel Gwendolyn (the exceedingly proud granddaughter of a great Patriarch, JEROME WALTERS)
