I love, love, love wrshoip music. It speaks right to the heart of me. Have you listened to GoFish with your kids? They are enjoyable for adults and kids alike. Great harmonies, great message.

Comment on “Ten Little Niggers”: The Making of a Black Man’s Consciousness by Simone

Hello Mrs Anderson,

I’m currently studying a degree in Media in London, UK. I have recently finished writing my Thesis based primarily on the book and racism in children’s literature in general. Your article was very helpful and a key source in the analysis of the rhymes and illustrations. I have also read Prof. Dr. Wulf Schmidt-Wulffen “Ten Little Niggers – Zehn kleine Negerlein. Racism in Children’s Books. A German Point of View.”- In which I discovered the reference to your article. I grew up in Germany during the 1990s, and in fact my family read the book to me, and it was available in the children’s section of the local library. I’m currently working on a script for a screenplay around the same subject area and if you’re interested I would be happy to receive your feedback or involvement.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

I invite you all to see the beauty of the poem as well.
As in any form of hypnosis one counts from 10 to 0 in order to come in contact with ones soul. Judging is something only the mind can, the mind indeed minds, that’s why we call it mind. The soul is the greatest force to hypnotize a human being and can only operate out of pure, unconditional love for the benefit of the whole, in all times, under all circumstances, without exception.
Even if the nursery rime was intended to condition kids minds that there is such thing as superior and therefor inferior races, it will completely miss its effect since the connection with the pure soul and the real truth makes one realize we’re all one. And we have an ego and image, we are not that, we have thoughts and feelings, we are not them. Who we think we are is just who we think we are, who we are is who we are.

All is perfect, we don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we choose to think we believe it is, we see the world as we are.
Life is a miracle, and a divine plan, thanks for being alive, you’re all right, all the time, and please share your knowledge and insights with everyone we might benefit from it.
