Preference with power is deadly. This short PSA is based on real-life events of the director and others. For over 400 years Africans of the diaspora face subjection to forced editing of their humanity in order to live, love, and provide for theirs. Being our fullest selves costs us so much and often our very lives. We find ourselves at a historical fork in the road. Against God and creation, it will end...it needs to as God and humanity’s character is on the line. From popular hypocritical white churches and pastors to educational institutions, to neighborhood watches, these things have happened to myself and others in the name of a false white Jesus. Rise up and resist editing your fullest self for a paycheck, false acceptance, and a tarnished throne. To my ancestors that journeyed from northern Ghana to the Golden Cape coast and El Mina castles under tyranny, to those who went through the mental trauma in dungeons while false worship music played over you, to those who drowned in the sea and somehow made it through the middle passage, to those endured the tyranny of rape, degrading auction blocks, human trafficking, and castration, to those lynched, shot, and harassed...To those who never could trust justice and never got it here because it’s Just Us, you lived to give me this voice. This is for you. “After the Negroes became free the same end was reached by employing a Negro or some white man to spy upon and report behind closed doors on a plan to enslave the Negroes’ minds. In case that actual employment as a spy seemed too bold the person to be used as such an instrument took up some sort of enterprise which the oppressors of the race warmly supported to give him the desired influence in the community. This “racial racketeer” might be a politician, minister, teacher, director of a community center, or head of a “social uplift agency.” As long as he did certain things and expressed the popular opinion on questions he lacked nothing, and those who followed him found their way apparently better paid as the years went by. His leadership, then, was recognized and the ultimate undoing of the Negroes in the community was assured.” Carter G Woodson
