Things that happen while working for Singing River Electric Power Association a Touchstone Energy Cooperative in Gautier,Mississippi. One thing that has been on mind for a long time now is Kenny Hopkins a meter who dating a white girl,and was terminated for doing so. The manger of the meter reading department at the Lucedale office in Ms when out in the field to look for him because he was told Kenny and his girl friend sometime have lunch together,and founded him at her house having lunch. All the outside working men and engineers would take their lunch breaks at home or with their girl friends or their wives,but of course their not black. We who are black in the company say this is how our parents any their parents have worked for years, We see and hear the racial slugs,but we have families to support and kids to put through college. The south still holds on the their southern tradition of hate it's in their culture for some reason.
In this country we are seeking justice for all the extremist terrorist group around the world,and I think we should start here in our own back yards. GOD gave us eyes to see yet we still walk in darkness and hears to ear yet we seem to be deaf when it comes to the rights for all the living. I was in London England some years ago and met a couple,and when I mention I was an american the first things this couple wanted to talk about was Alabama and Mississippi violent racial history toward blacks.
Outside this country we are known for our violence as well we can be compared to some of the terrorist groups around the world today. We don't want to look in the mirror at ourselves because it give a true picture of what we are and what we have been in this country.
