DR.AMOS WILSON:SOUL FOOD is SLAVE FOOD


What kind of food do you eat? you say soul food? was that the food of African people? slave food.' The food that we find most satisfying,the food that we find that sticks to our ribs.

The food that we cal down home. A food that we leaned to eat in the quarters. and yet we dare say that we have escaped slavery! that we have nothing to do with those people back there. that, that was back there.'

when our whole very social life and social relationships our very defintion of ourselves as a people. and how can you say that you exist in a different consciousness from another.

what kind of uniforms are we wearing? what kind of clothes are we wearing? were these the clothes of African people? this is what we got to look at.' yes! what is this? to say then that we have escaped slavery!

What kind of names do we respond to? yes',yes, TAMEKA'S and all these other things we got going out here! what kind of names do we identify with?

why is it that African names sound strange to us now as a people? and yet we dare say that we have a different consciousness from our great slave grandparents.'

how can we say that? we are still of the same consciousness.' and we are still in the same position.'

BECAUSE WE ARE STILL SERVANTS! OF THE WHITE MAN!!!! AND OUR REASON FOR BEING IN AMERICA IS TO SERVE WHITE FOLKS AND TO GENERATE WEALTH FOR THEM,AND THERE HAD BEEN NO CHANGE AT ALL INTERNS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THESE PEOPLE.'

The values that we pursue are slave values.' and the values of servants.The social relations that we create and interact with were built and develop in the periods of slaver.'

we have not escaped it at all. But it is time for us to change the slave consciousness.' this consciousness of servitude, that is still to much with us today! and ultimately we ask the question thats closet to home for a lot of people. when w claim that we've escaped slavery.' and that slavery was something back there! which had nothing to do with us today!

And then i and then i ask you (WHAT KIND OF GOD DO YOU WORSHIP ?

What's the name of him ? WHO TAUGHT YOU TO PRAISE HIM?

WAS THIS THE GOD YOU WAS PRAYING TO BEFORE YOU WAS BROUGHT TO THESE SHORES ?

WAS THIS THE RELIGION YOU HAD BEFORE YOU WAS BROUGHT TO THESE SHORES?

CAN YOU NAME ONE AFRICAN GOD ?

HOW CAN YOU THEN DEFINE YOURSELF,THE VERY ESSENCE OF YOURSELF,AND THE VERY ESSENCE OF YOUR 'SOUL' AND ORGANIZE THE VERY NATURE OF YOUR LIFE HERE ON EARTH!!!!!

BASED ON A GOD HANDED TO US BY OUR SLAVE MASTERS. AND CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE NO SLAVE CONSCIOUSNESS!!!! AND NOT RELATED TO SLAVERY.'
