I can relate to your post although my Mom didn’t give me alot of grief on my locks, Black folks with some hiring power did while I was working in corporate America. I am disapointed at Black folks willingness sometimes to shirk diversity. Every Black person has got a least a cousin who has locked hair, an Afrikan based spiritual center, a certain political view or mindset or a religion that isn’t the prevelent AME/Baptist?/COGIC church view. Some of us have Muslims who are just as conservative if not more so than our other family members yet they are still involved. I wrote two posts on my blog Knukka where are you from? parts 1 and 2 We don’t see these so called Black Conservatives involved in the Black Community just being critical and dismissive of it.

And although you both have differences, there can still be attempts to embrace each other’s differences- they are what make you, “you.” Mostly everyone that follows some type of faith or spirituality feels that he or she has the right philosophy- they are right and the next person is wrong. What happens if we find out at the end of it all, that we “all” had a little piece to add to the puzzle that would form what is really true and right? Sometimes I feel this way, and I do my best not to judge another for their beliefs and decisions. I am a Christian, and I believe that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, so that we may have another chance at eternal life because He loved us so. Now, although I believe this with all my heart, I would never make another person feel that there religion is beneath mine. I can tell that despite it all, there is love between you and your mother, and that’s what matters most. Thank you for sharing.
