On My Side

As I'm living down here on earth, I have had some hills and mountains to climb. Their have been times when I thought I wouldn't be able to make it through, and then I remember my grandmother telling me about her walks through life. Grandmama had to face the murder of her father and brother who was lynched and burned alive by the KKK, and yet she remain a true believer in the Lord;  yes she told me how much the Lord had blessed her life.  We have all been in the valleys at one time or another in our lives, and its the hills, mountains and valleys that gives us our life experiences. My grandmother always said never be afraid or worried when God's on your side, and we may have some fears within us, but remember Psalm 23: 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. I find if we are going to pray why worry?, and the words of the Lord say cast your burdens upon me and I will give you rest. Life is sometimes like a battle field, and the field is the battle field for the Lord, and sometime we lose a battle or two, but the war is always won when God's on your side. As I write my book I will tell me stories of my injustice I recent experience in my young life, and little do my enemies know God is on my side.    

The Beginning Years

As A young child growing up surrounded by my loving and Christian family, we always had conversations about loving all of God's people regardless of where a person comes from or the color of their skin. My grandmother as a young girl wetness her father being murder by a white man, and her grandfather lynched, and I say all this to say this what a forgiven heart she had. When I got older I asked her why didn't she hate the monsters that murder her father and grandfather, and begin to tell me first God didn't create any monsters, He made all of us in His image, and we must love all of Gods people. Throughout the family conversations we never discuss hating any of God's children even though their  was so much violence and lynchings they had in their memory. My grandmother told me the story of her cousin who was lynched and burned alive, and yet she still remained true to her maker. From my family teachings I carry the way of the Lord within me as I went out into the world, and unlike my grandmother I believe that people can be monsters and trash. I say this because what I an others have had to endure and still are to this day. As an employee at Singing River Electric Power Association a Touch Stone Energy Cooperative in Gautier,Mississippi;  I founded out on the very day I arrived, I had really stepped back in time or into another world. Because of my family belief in religion,  and what they had taught me, I over looked a lot of racist these being said and done; I heard these racist jokes being told on a daily bases. The company have about three hundred employees, and out of those are about ten blacks and we have talked about the racist these they do. Most of the black employees say this is away of life for us here, and it have been this way before you arrived and will be this way we are all gone. Throughout my years with them I made many complaints to my boss Ken and to the CEO Lee. When my book is published all the things I an other blacks have had endure an employees at SREPA.                  

Hiding Behind

Singing River Electric Power Association a Touchstone Energy Cooperative is based in Gautier Mississippi. Have had this hidden agenda for many decades now,and throughout my time with them I heard and saw many things I consider racist done by the white employees. I do wonder why sometime people feel the need to tell racist jokes,but they are told in many companies where the whites are the majority.
 In Singing River Electric I could hear a racist joke every day,and management can't never say these jokes wasn't ever told because I recorded them,and their lawyer heard them during my deposition.

A joke being told

This is another thing I remember as I worked at Singing River Power Association a Touchstone Energy Cooperative.  Early one morning I can into work and as I walked through the crew room I heard and saw the employee telling a story about niggers in a swimming pool. The employees demonstrating this joke by using a plastic cup,water, dish washing liquid and black pepper as niggers in a swimming pool. They would put dish washing liquid on a finger and stick down and the cup of water,and say look watch how all the niggers swimming out to the side when the whites jump in. We won't catch you and put you back in slavery,we just like keeping under neath our feet. Next month is black history,and for some reason we keep repeating this never dying racism in this country,and now I have a story to tell my grandchildren.
