Boy, I stepped away from my computer for a few to watch the commentary following the Trayvon Martin verdict; and now that I'm back online most of what I've read is foul language being tossed back and forth between folks that know and love one another. Damn, facebook friends are going at it tooth and nail trying to force folks into agreeing with their opinions.
We cuss each other out when the judicial system, employers or legislators do us wrong. All kinds of heated energy disputing the "uniform" Trayvon was wearing when he was murdered. Next thing folks will be saying is that women get raped because of what they wear. Oh, that's right, folks already say that bullshyt!! He had a afro, his pants were sagging, he looked like the guy on T.V. who did this or did that.
My response to all that chatter is...NIGGA PLEASE!!!
Chill with trying to justify why amerikkka, especially in NRA headquarters Florida, is willing to kill a Blaq man, woman or child. It's all been documented and those who fear the browning of this country or fear a Blaq planet will continue to kill us as long as we stay distracted on dumb ass shyt.
I find it real interesting the folks screaming the loudest about this injustice are the same folks who don't vote when it comes time to choose a D. A., judge or city controller. These are the same folks getting high with their kids, letting their sons hide guns in their house and accept blood money from their kids when the rent is due. These are the same folks that make sure their kids have the latest I phone, most expensive heels or sneaks, pay for the most expensive weave, nails looking spectacle and little Hakim or Tawanda aint going to school and can't read a lick.
Okay, now your Blaq ass wants to talk about "race"!!
What was your conversation yesterday when the kid down the street got his head blown off by the kid around the corner? Was it about lighting a candle, saying a prayer or singing a hymn...or was it about PLANNING AND IMPLENENTING a viable strategy to transform our current and future circumstances in our own neighborhood??
NIGGA PLEASE!!
glad to continue the conversation with you, i changed my fb profile to black shortly before reading our Tiger and Honorable State Rep. Jordan Harris post on the truth of the state of the black america verdict. how are we valued as i look at my 2 year old grandson whining for my attention. i blog thinking of him and our future and how do we keep the conversation going to bring our communities together? been doing some research, following issues and concerns in our community; there is a energy building to stop the bickering, take off the blinders, unite and take responsibility for our communities. i love your passion Thomas, lets galvanize the energy around Trayvon to talk, and build a better life for us all.
