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.
