LAWS THAT NEED TO BE MADE NOW

LAWS THAT NEED TO BE MADE NOW!

I am 64 years old. I am disabled from an automobile accident (when a MACK truck rear-ended my stopped mid-sized car) while driving at a speed of approximately 30 miles per hour and totaled it.

The greatest gift of that accident is that I am alive, can still walk and talk and have been able to live independently at least for the past 18 years through 5 spine surgeries and 4 additional surgeries.

However, it is not what this blog is about.

LAW #1 THAT IS NEEDED: I had written this on the first night of starting the blog... being used to loosing things all computer oriented, I will come back to this. I have a more urgent concern for my SOAP-BOX BLOG. READ BELOW>>>


LAWS TO BE CONSIDERED:
LAW #1 - TOP PRIORITY FOR CONSIDERATION:
AS A MATTER OF REPARATION FOR ALL AFRICAN-AMERICAN CITIZENS BORN HERE WITH A ANCESTRY OF MORE THAN THREE GENERATIONS, WE WILL INSTITUTE A PROGRAM OF DNA TESTING OF A MINIMUM SPECIFIED NUMBER OF TRIBES IN AFRICA TO BE KEPT IN A RECORD BANK AND FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. A CORRESPONDING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WOULD BE ESTABLISHED TO MONITOR BOTH THE TESTING AND THE SPENDING OF THE FUNDS OF THE PROGRAM.

Any African-American citizen who wishes to avail themselves of this process could then have their own DNA test done at that non-profit organization. The individual DNA could be compared to the data bank of Tribal DNA.

The benefit of this process would be that any individual who "matched" a Tribal DNA, could then identify a culture, a history and even belief that identified what their ancestors had participated in. It could give them a greater sense of self, and a place of belonging.

In short, "we" could participate in giving back something "we" took away. With the reality of recognition that "we" continue to take away from any non-Caucasian, unconditional acceptance that we easily give to our Caucasian (SELVES) citizens.

I had the great good fortune of meeting my own Great Grandfather on my Mother's side, and both my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother on my Father's side. When I want to think of my ancestors, I can easily understand some of my own personality traits - my tenacity might come from my German Great Grandmother and my sense of fairness from my Danish Great Grandfather, both of whom immigrated to American at the age of 17 in the late 1800's.

I know my ambition is reflective of my Great Grandfather who's land acquisition was just one of his methods of accumulation for his family. His brothers also were like-minded, all somewhat driven by their goals. Another trait that goes both up and down the ladder of heredity.
