“We were never the threat. The betrayed backbone of America is still multiplying. History for no man shall never be erased because it is already written in the only book that matters.”
What Is History?
According to Merriam-Webster, “history” is a chronological record of significant events (such as those affecting a nation or institution), often including an explanation of their causes. It also refers to events of the past. Even yesterday is now ‘history’, and each passing day, Black people around the world are making monumental accomplishments, launching businesses, earning degrees, leading movements, and raising generations. But these contributions are too often overlooked, buried under systemic racism and silenced by a society that selectively curates its narrative.
The Misplaced Blame: We Were Never the Threat
For centuries, Black and Brown communities have been labeled as threats to democracy, peace, and order. But truth be told, we were never the danger we were the answer.
We picked the cotton. We built the railroads. We tilled the soil. We birthed generations. We endured the whip, survived the chains, and still, “we rise.”
What greater threat is there than a people who multiply under pressure, create under censorship, and praise under persecution?
The Betrayed: Backbone of America
The very spine that kept America standing was never recognized in the light of justice. The backbone was bent, broken, bruised, and yet, it bore the weight of a nation. Enslaved hands built the monuments that enslaved eyes were never allowed to be admired. Even now, systemic lies attempt to whitewash the blood and brilliance of our contributions.
We were betrayed by a system that profited from our pain, criminalized our survival, and wrote us out of the American dream.
But we are *still multiplying*. In our voices. In our visions. In our victories.
History Cannot Be Erased
You can rewrite textbooks. You can remove statues. You can delete historical facts and remove the individuals that contributed to battles already conquered.
But the truth? The truth is inscribed in the bible, the book, the only one that matters.
“For the LORD shall rise up… that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.” (Isaiah 28:21)
God has already recorded the truth, and it will never be undone.
The bones of the oppressed cry out. The blood of the innocent speaks louder than any gavel. And the justice of the Lord is not mocked by man-made systems.
A Final Word
So, let the world try to ignore our story. Let them act as if we are a footnote in their version of events.
But remember this:
We are not just “part” of history. We are the proof that history lives.
We are God’s record keepers, and we will not be erased.
