  • She is saying that though we all are children of the same Creator, throughout history we have done some terrible things to one another, as well as some wonderful things. The hope for the world--and our challenge at present--lies in our ability and willingness to look our past deeds, good and bad, squarely in the eye, to learn from past mistakes, build on past triumphs, and then join with our brothers and sister to build a better future. The earth is our witness. (It's not a nursery rhyme.)

  • @JUANCHOBORI Hmm, if maybe I get what you're saying -fully aware that we are all knowing & know nothing- your pride-filled intention serves merely to pave that oft mentioned road to "Hell". Your translation of valid emotions alienates ALL that are of other heritages as wondrous & possibly tragic as the "Black" one. We will all atone for our sins; both The Queen & the Jester. All who aide atrocities will wish they had come atonement; yet Maya is so much more layered than just that aspect ;) 

  • @don1carter WHEN AT THE JUDGMENT DAY, PEOPLE SEE WHAT OUR LORD OVERLOOKS WHEN JUDGING BLACKS, BECAUSE OF THEIR SUFFERING AND THEIR TEARS !!!! QUEEN ELIZABETH AND THE EUROPEAN ROYALTY AND RICH WHITES, ARE GOING TO WISH THAT THEY WERE BORN BLACKS!!!
