Gifts Of Oppression: Gifts Of Oppression, #2

By Kareem Gaines

Gifts of Oppression is a dynamic book that allows us all to experience the highs and lows of political and spiritual warfare. This book allows us all to see ourselves as we truly are but also challenge our notions and long-held beliefs. The quotes that are in this book forces us to converse, debate, and, of course, communicate about things we all may have buried deep within the core of our very being.....consciously and subconsciously as we will journey through the valley of decision. Yet we may start this journey fragmented but through the power of supreme thought. We will complete this journey whole God willing.  Democracy cannot be dead if it has never lived.

Book preview

This book is dedicated to the people who said I am nothing....

I AM NOTHING

The moment she felt me was not the moment that I began to exist. And the moment the doctors saw me was not the moment that I appeared... I was before I could be explained. I was before anything else could be. I traveled the cosmos before traveling became a word... I was the WORD before WAS described a time before... I was the light before light could be seen dancing in the vastness of space... I was before the common eyes could see my travels... or before the brain was willed into existence with the purpose of transmitting electrical charges... I was thought before it became thinking... I was the vibration, the invisible form that no one knew, not even I who existed... I was the unconscious presence that existed without self-knowledge. Yet I was... And today I AM... I am the mysterious traveler with too many names to count. I am the name that cannot be explained... I am the first mirror, yes, the reflection, and around me everything reflected the invisible ALL... I was before I could be described... I am the HE-SHE, the YIN & YANG, and ALPHA &. OMEGA with more attributes than there are tongues to speak. ...IAM NOTHING, WHICH IS EVERYWHERE...

THE TRUE COLOR OF TERROISM

If America was truly anti-terrorism, it would also be anti-white.
