Baruch 1:1-22
[1]And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,
[2]In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.
[3]And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,
[4]And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.
[5]Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.
[6]They made also a collection of money according to every man's power:
[7]And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,
[8]At the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Jada had made,
[9]After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.
[10]And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;
[11]And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:
[12]And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.
[13]Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.
[14]And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.
[15]And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
[16]And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers:
[17]For we have sinned before the Lord,
[18]And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:
[19]Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.
[20]Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.
[21]Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:
[22]But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.
Epigenetic
Look at our disorder
Look at how we behave
Look at this mentality
I think it’s important to understand
Why do we act like this…
Why….
We as black people
Thought our trauma is normal
When it’s not, all kinds of trauma
Has been passed to our generations
And future generations to come
From slavery, from colonialism….
Our conditions shouldn’t be excuse
For not defendin ourselves, but sadly
It’s a part of our lives,
And this is why we forgive so quickly
And we tell other black people to be quiet about the truth…
And we love white and hate black
And we get down on our knees to pray for Jesus
And we have Africa diaspora wars
We have colonized minds…
And part of the reasons why we can’t fight back
You know why black people are goin to extinct
Even though we’re still havin babies all over the world….
We will still disappear though genocides…
May sound crazy but we’ve been through a lot…
The sad part is that too many black people don’t care
About their well being and their own race cos of the
Lack of knowledge of self, self hate, we’re a sick nation
Unfortunately…I’m sorry black people but we truly are…

If this is off code for me saying we’re mentally ill as a race, I’m sorry. But it’s the truth. We do have that mental traumas that has been passed down to generations all the way from slavery and colonialism. I bet we wonder why we act like this…we normalize our actions and attitudes as our culture. Remember we were Robbed by our own humanity. Our mother tongue was stolen. We were told African spirituality is the devil. Did you know ass whooping came from colonialism? It wasn’t ours in the beginning. There are so many things that black race carries from the wicked westerners…it’s not just the west, its also the Arabs. The Arabs did the same thing. Arab slavery is still happening. Can you imagine how heavy Stockholm syndromes are… mental health is really important to talk about in the black communities.
You wanna know where all the slave mentalities came from.
