how time have changed................
America welcomes immigrants from all corners of the world. Over time the old immigrants have turned on the new and recent ones. OH how the times have changed indeed.
Some ascribe all that is bad, ugly and poor to Africa. I am new to this forum, what rude awakening what a welcome mat I was served with by Criss Colon.
Immigrants from all over the world have come to America for bigger and better opportunities, all mostly for economic reasons because back home things aren't so gravy. But yet some want to give the appearance that things have always been otherwise. One can fool themselves all they want but the reality is, Haitians, Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Asians, Europeans, Africans and yes DOminicans have taken to the seas (Boat People) to reach this land of opportunities.
We must not fool ourselves by ascribing only bad things to particular peoples or nations. We all have good and bad things that have plagued our past and continues in the present times.
Must I deny my mother because she's poor and uneducated. Must I deny my mother because she's not what I wanted her to be. Must I deny my mother for the fact of denying her. Some things no matter what we do we can never get rid of, one look in the mirror and reality hits.
One thing I 've realized is, We're all in the same boat, believe it or not!
Although words of hate were directed towards my person, I've turned the other cheek and in return I've got nothing but love for all, nothing but love.
Let us put a little love in our hearts, stop the madness....
