Just Another Day: Killing Black Men Is Now Legal

Just Another Day...."Killing Black Men Is Now Legal"

Just another day.

Wow!  It's been a while hasn't it?  A lot has been happening in the world of hip hop but that isn't the topic for today.

Last night, December 3, 2014, I caught wind that the officer who had put a choke hold on Eric Garner was not indicted by the grand jury.  A few weeks prior Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Mike Brown, was also not indicted.  Do you see a pattern here? It has become very clear that the black man has become the new target and it's now hunting season. 

In 2013, 5000 African American and Latinos have been killed by police. That's in 2013!!! The stats since then have jumped at an alarming rate. Now, I have to make one thing very clear, Caucasians have also been a target of police brutality as well, however, African Americans make up for the majority.

 

In America there is an estimated 1.4 million gangs that are throughout the United States alone. The question I would ask is are the police, CIA, FBI, Military, and other government jurisdictions included in that 1.4 mill? If you look at what gangs are said to commonly do you would then see similarities. The reason why I bring this up is because with every gang they have a target, with every gang they have an agenda or mission, with every gang there is some who tries to get rid of evidence or has someone to take the fall... In these cases these officers are being protected by their top dog, they hide behind their colours and are protected because they wear them. They are devoted to the badge, they will not do anything to dishonor it even if it means not holding each other accountable. 

As I sit here right now I feel empty.  Knowing my black brothers continue to go through this fight makes me angry. I feel a sense of loss for every life that has been taken. 

I believe that there are other methods to using excessive force. We are NOT animals we are human beings. We were once kings and queens and even then people worked hard at robbing us of that. 

My fear, right now, is that this genocide will continue until the black race is wiped out COMPLETELY! It's bad enough that our people kill and hurt one another but now we have this to add to the struggle. It's like that double edged sword no matter what side your on your gonna get sliced. Our anger, our frustrations, at this time stems from a lack of leadership. We have lost our voice and those who used to speak for us. Not even hip hop speaks up for what is unjust anymore!!! Because of this we have no hope, no one to turn to, no one to tell us everything's gonna be ok. We are alone in this fight.  Tupac said that when people feel a sense of hopelessness, and that their voices aren't heard, they will react.

I pray that things change IMMEDIATELY. We are running out of time! I have said this many times and will say it once again, What is the best way to create a NEW WORLD ORDER?  Wipe out those who will stand up against it!!!

This is only the beginning of what could be the end!!!
