We been fighting, screaming, pushing, crying for change to come. However, it seems like everytime I cut-on my phone, laptop, or TV; I hear about another unarmed Black male (usually at a very early age) being killed. Young and vibrate lives of color being taken away. The part that makes me even sadder and angry is the fact that this brothers don't have to be killed. I may make y'all look at me funny, but I'm pass the outraged (how could they do this?) Stage; I am at a point where I'm like what is it going to take to get CHANGE. Talk is cheap and as more of my Young Brothers are being killed I see just how useless doing nothing can be (If that makes sense). Again, I ask myself what can be done to change things. Unfortunately, I have no sure-fire action that will stop everything once-and-for-all (for their will always be someone who crosses the line); however, I do have a idea of what WE CAN DO in our own communities. Therefore, here are my five ideas that I will introduce. First, I will introduce them now and later with more research I will do more TOP FIVES..
1. BUY BLACK- There is only one other color that fascinates and drives racist, the system, the world crazy. That color is GREEN. Like the Wu Tang Clan and Drake "Pound Cake." CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND THEM. Therefore, lets hurt the man where it hurts the must in this wallet. Lets keep our money amongst ourselves, and keep it that way. Even if they do put "Black" athletes (Paid Endorsers) on their. Even if the MAN'S products or things are a little cheaper; lets buy from each other. If we can spend $200 on SNEAKER AND TENNIS SHOES (which are owned by Major Companies who probably have no people of color in Major Positions). Therefore, we can spend $10 extra dollars on products made by our Brothers and Sisters.
2. LETS GET ORGANIZED- Nothing is more scarier to someone than a group of people (all who are willing to fight for something). Since the beginning of time, it has showed the group that has been the most well equipped has won the wars (The Union in the Civil War, The Allies in World War II, and DR. Martin Luther King Jr./Malcolm X/ NAACP in the Civil Rights movement. Therefore, lets get organized; we have one common obstacle so lets work as a team. Not separate groups over here and another over their; let do a mass movement. Lets do a FIVE MILLION MAN MARCH.
3. WE GOT TO LOVE EACH OTHER- United We Stand, But Divided We Fall. At this point in life with our Brothers being killed on a daily, we got to stick together. I don't care what you say we must come together. Even if that means going against your "Earthly" and Human urges. As you see we are being attacked and discriminate against, so why are we hating each other. You would think because there is open season against our Brothers that we would be more united. But we may be just as divided as we were before open season (THE START OF ENSLAVEMENT: DURING WHICH SLAVE-TRADERS STARTED FILLING UP SHIPS). We have been against each other since the beginning of time. How do you think the Euro's capture us so easy; not because we were dumb or weak. But because other African-Tribes sold each other out.
We must stop this, starting today we must STOP: 1. Treating our WOMEN Disrespectfully, 2. Falling into the trap of hating each other (jealousy, strive, and anger towards each other), 3. We must stop supporting anything that does not support us. I heard about horror stories of Brothers being killed for stepping on other Brothers shoes or Being killed for a leather jacket (Look up KEVIN MOODY 1988). Lets stop fighting each other and fight oppression.
4. EDUCATION- We as African-Americans are poorly represented in critical as well as vital areas of the "SYSTEM." There is not enough of us in the COURTROOM, CLASSROOM, OR JUDICAL SYSTEM (Police, Judges, and Defense Attroneys). I am not saying that we would not uphold the law if WE were in charge. However, like always I sit in bed at night and just think. One of the thoughts that has crossed my head is IF WE WERE IN CHARGE MORE, WOULD THE NUMBER OF UNARMED BALCK MEN DYING BE THIS HIGH? HONESTLY, I THINK NOT. Therefore My Brothers, we need to get education and combat some of the systemic racism or discrimination as well as Systemic misjudgment on the part of others. The only time that many people of authority come across people of color is during their jobs (MIX THAT WITH RACISM) and you get disaster . Therefore, if there were more of US in local, state, and diverse roles in America I believe we as Young Brothers would feel safer and police officer & citizens relationships would skyrocket. For example the city I live in. The Police reflect the community and I haven't heard about a Unarmed Black Male Being Shot since. Not even a Police Involved Shooting.
5. VOTE- This is one of the most important actions; I can not stress and talk about this one enough. If you are not old enough to vote; please get your family to vote. We have to change this system and the people in it. If we can get people who have our best interest in mind in local as well as State roles then we can make some dramatic changes. Laws could be revised, streets safer, and more diversity in our communities.
In closing, RIP to Freddie Gray.
