Today is a sad day. Although I have said this many times and we have discussed the Trayvon case numerous times. I must continue to vent and talk about something that means so much to us. This is off the top of the dome, so I am not tying to be politically correct at all. Today I have found out that George Zimmerman will not face any civil rights charges against him. I totally disagree and I am truly upset by the ruling. However, I have no power in the matter; but what I do have is a voice and an opinion. My mindset is that it is utterly unfair and crashing that Zimmerman was not charged. How can someone not be charged I do not know. I kinda figured Zimmerman would not face any punishment, however I held out hope. This to me was just another slap in the face and blow to the body for me. However, although out of this case I have lost more than I have gained. I have without a doubt gained something that I will carry all of the days of my life: That is a life's purpose. I have been lit and torched by the decisions that have came in the past months and years. We must continue to fight and push for change. Even though at this point in your life, you may feel like you can't do nothing about it. Don't worry a lot of people feel this way. However, you can do something about it. You can stay in school and get an educated. By doing this you can change statistics and images labeled upon us. You can make something out of yourself and in turn makes change by your own hands. Second, you can continue to go to protests and other organized assemblies; people can not ignore us forever. Remember strength in numbers and united we stand (at all times). Last, you can become a individual who cares. Someone who votes and becomes a leader of men. A leader among fellows and a pastor or guidance for the people. Push the limits and labels, and go for gold in everyday part of our life. Prove that we have value and know that fact in your heart and soul. Don't let anyone take away your soul or MANHOOD. Do what ever it takes, BY ANY MEANS NECCESARY.
Today I am hurt, angry, and sad. But out of this we must become stronger and more powerful. We must continue to grow and learn how to use our growth so that we can continue. Let's learn to be all that we can be and never let anyone or anything defeat us. The struggle continues and so does the fight.
