The Souls of Black Folk
by W.E.B. Du Bois
“How does it feel to be a problem?”
“Being a problem is a strange experience,-peculiar even for one who has never been anything else”
“Where all that makes life worth living-Liberty, Justice, and Right-is marked “For White People Only.””
W.E.B. Du Bois was a great sociologist. No wonder I, myself, have a degree in the same. The knowledge of knowing that as far ahead as this world has come in technology and science, it has barely moved much in treating people right. Begging for the mere morsels of happiness is sickening to my stomach. The fact that Black people’s lives have been held in such a Vice grip to withhold from them any semblance of humanity just because “why not”. But not only to hold it back but to then turn around and say look how far behind you are? To then be educated and open your eyes to why being oblivious is not in your best interest, for not only white people to tear into you for knowing too much but the ignorant people who look like you and are content I’m not knowing to shun you.
We’re still living in and with the past, today.
The veil is a real fabric that Black people wear. Black people walk in two different worlds constantly. I dare you to look in the mirror
