More and more I am upset by the news, that I now get the saying I use to deem "Corny" which is "No News Is Good News."
I guess I've become a bit jaded by the world in which we live in today. I've watched movies like Rosewood, Roots, Queen, The Story Of Rosa Parks, and the list goes on.
In those movies based on real events, it showed the field nigga, the house nigga, & the ones I'll call disenfranchised. (The slaves that were both slaves & fathered by their masters) I don't agree that anyone should be, or should have ever been enslaved.
I just think about those movies, and how they struggled for equality in a color blind world, which isn't color blind at all.
I turn on the news to hear about things that truly disturb me. Where are these people coming from? Its like there was a sleeper cell of dumb asses that just sprung up from out of no where and started reeking havoc. 65% of the crime rate that has spread across the U.S. has been African Americans. It was like as soon as Obama got into office it was okay to F*ck up.
Uhh hello, we're all being watched.
True story: 2 of my 21yr old son's friends were gunned down, one didn't make it. Guess what that was over? Being on the wrong side of town. Gang related? No, just sheer stupidity.
Back when people didn't have anything but each other, they were way more civil to one another than today.
We get the right to vote, most of us do but the rest of us won't. We get to go to school to further our education, a few of us go the rest won't. We finally get the option to sit at the front of the bus, a few of us do the rest continue to migrate to the back.
I'm starting to see a pattern... We've had people fight for our rights as human beings, but chose to act like animals. I don't get it.
True story: A man & his mother come to town for court in another city within the same state, & in broad daylight another man with a gun decides today he is God. This fool starts firing his gun with kids outside and all, and guns this man down. Cameras were rolling capturing his face, & what just took place.
All these victims & aggressors were African American.
When we were treated like animals, we protected each other as much as we could. Now that we're reaping the benefits of what our ancestors fought for, we digress. It saddens me a great deal.
Our President is African American, which is a huge leap in the right direction. I've noticed since he was placed in office, its been our people actively shown in the news for DUMB SHIT!
What the hell is going on?
