My Haitian friend just helped me put a curse on trump, and a blessing on the rest of us for protection.

I'm a mix girl. Usually pretty strong-minded, but when a close family friend neighbor called me a typical black girl. It hurt me to the core. I tried to see it as a positive compliment, but the way she said it didn't sound like a compliment. Reminds me of my 4th grade teacher who said I would never get an A in school. I no longer feel healed & I feel depressed, sad, & weak. I'm Italian-Salvadorian & black. Still don't really know who I am, but I know I am not their type of white (German). I need more black women in my life so I can talk about my struggles & they can talk about theirs. I know I will never fully understand being 100% black, but the fact I am not sometimes makes it hard to be relatable with anyone, especially when my mixed white friends don't get the same hate as I do because I'm not American white. And the fact people want to label her as white & not latina makes it hard also. If my tears are pathetic, please just let me know & I'll delete my comment. I really want to tap into my black girl magic & what makes me beautiful.

Wat if our ancestors were horrible people

@cri1625

We do not worship our Ancestors we venerate them. It’s unfortunate that we have to explain this in the comments when the sister should’ve explained that in the first moment or even the second time it was said.

@travispayne7086

We as a People have to realize that the God they worship was given to them by warped Christians. It was Christian's that enslaved Us.

@BmoreLioness

For the people who actually practice Hoodoo, we do not use the term "ancestor worship". We use the term "ancestor veneration". We lift up and give respect to our ancestors. We do not worship them.

worship – (v) show reverence and adoration for a deity; honor with religious rites. (n) the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.

veneration – (n) great respect; reverence.

Also reffered to as Obeah or Science in Jamaica.

@billsadler3

Can you imagine having to adjust to a whole new topography of botanical and psychotropic substances in a strange natural but socially other worldly situation. The African healers had to cipher a whole new set of often related plant species. Wow!

@billsadler3

For those not "crazy" by external social definitions, but different from those around you, the "spirits' are the first impulses you had before language, before names and faces. Later, you put names, faces and things from your environment on those impulses. Yes, instinct is another word we use for non-humans. But, it is the same thing, or not thing if you like playing with words, like me.(billsadler.blogspot.com for Vision Quest book on shamanism, which is the parent of all religions and visionary spirit traditions.

God gave us our ancestors within us. He knew it would happen that’s why he gives us visions and dreams. You are to write ✍🏾 every vision you have. There’s a reason
