NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
I’ve waited awhile to say anything about the current events that have my home, Minneapolis make national news. You see, everything that white and non-Black people are starting to realize and “see” We, Black people ALREADY FUCKING KNEW. So instead of sad, shocked and disbelief, we have been saying the same shit for decades. I guess I’m just wondering, HOW MANY MORE BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE? Because the bodies are still stacking up.
I mean let’s keep it real, if motherfuckers didn’t start burning shit, George Floyd would just be another name added to the list. Apparently white people are tired of police brutality and now motherfuckers wanna “change” shit. Let’s see if this becomes real change or just a trend. I really hope people see the blatant broken justice system that we have. A system that’s been manipulated to keep us in our lanes.
Honestly, shit has been crazy yet normalized already. My neighborhood, North Minneapolis was under attack. The community came together real hard. We collected and distributed goods to residents. We came together and had our own neighborhood watch.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE RESILIENT. Our survival trait to a world that is constantly wants to knock us down. Covid + Revolution. 2020 is wild. Fourth of July is right around the corner, yet it’s like who’s America? Or Amerikkka.
CELEBRATE FOR WHAT?
My mental health has also been tested lately. (Obviously) I feel like I keep telling everyone I’m alright. Everything is okay. Default answers to mediocre questions. It’s amazing how frustrating it can be for a society trying so hard to make me believe they give a shit. Mainly cooperations and brands, whom I hope they really do but I still have this feeling in the bottom of my stomach.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT URE TOKEN. FALL ALL THE WAY BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
This doesn’t end on some note where I believe everything is fixed and racism is over. Fuck that. Shit is just beginning. Voices are just getting heard. People are just now getting seen. Like uncomfortably seen.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LETS FIGHT THIS SHIT TOGETHER, YEAH?
