I hate to say it, but these are the sins of the father coming back on you.

You cannot tear families apart, destroy a people's history and sense of place, emasculate their men, and then essentially leave them alone with NO repayment of what was taken and in fact resentment for having to own up to your evil deeds. Resentment that you further took out on us as we tried to move along despite not being really "free".

So yeah. There's gonna be repercussions. There is gonna be payback. Because many of us are broken. Families are broken. Fathers MIA because they don't know what being a man really is (because slavery taught us that being "men" gets us punished) ...and mothers & grandmothers raising boys cause that is all they know.

It's a mess. And you helped make it.
