Great question,

i think that we would be a totally different race without the persecution we have faced. We would have thriving economies, genuine African culture, OUR OWN LANGUAGES, respect for each other, for God, solid families and viable infrastrucures in Africa. It would be a regular utopia, but something about that just doesn't feel right. That would have been to easy.

So i think it begs the question;
Does our suffering define us? Would we be so proud, so charismatic, mentally and physically strong, eloquent and articulate, would we have dominated every arena we have been allowed & chosen to compete in, or spawned so many powerfull characters through the struggle, without the struggle?

Jah tests us, there is no testimony without a test. How could he make us smarter, faster, stronger, more industrious, more spirtual, the most beautiful, able to genuinely laugh and enjoy our selves, our dance, our customs, our music, dominate sports, give us the wonder element melanin, give our women bigger buts, and dudes bigger d**ks!!!! Come on, there had to be a test!!!

So long as we stay strong, and thats easy, our fore fathers and mothers did the hard part, we will be ok. The time is short. "And the meek shall inherit the earth."
