Nice write-up bro. Truth be told, what you just passed across with this piece is more than words could express and I pray we all learn from this. This white men do not `bear' or adopt our names so I don't know why we are killing ourselves with theirs.






My only correction is that, we all learn everyday, even as very unlearned as I am in the english language, - if I may say. I also learn everyday.


There were about two paragraphs above you used `being' instead of been' which is wrong and does not convey the meaning of the sentence/s well.






E.g.
“I have `being' on the look out” when it should be "I have `been'”



Also:-

“I have `being' in the midst”,...........which should be “I have been in the midst”.







Yours in pen!.

Thanks alot bro, it has been corrected. I just noticed the mistake. It was not exactly like this in the original text. The editors of the blog I sent it to first edited it to be so and I simply copied and pasted it here.
