BEING BLACK IS POWERFUL
ello friends! I hope everyone is well and Hsafe. So I ' m pretty sure we all have been watching the news lately. It seems to be a theme of blacks being killed by just pure wrecklessness whether it ' s by Law enforcement or just stupid people. Today the shooting in Charleston, where 9 people were killed in church by a 21 year old white male. Now I ' m usually very quiet when it comes to race and violence in America. Today I ' m going to a little real and very explicit so with that disclaimer. Where should I start?!?
The medias portrayal of this story is absolutely pathetic for starters. Call it like it is, why aren ' t we labeling him murderer or a terrorist? This person went into a church and shot 9 people unprovoked because they were black. I don ' t care how
Fox News wants to spin it, it ' s terrorism. The second part is that he wasn ' t arrested he was dragged out with a bullet proof vest. What message does that send? That you can hate a particular race and try to
eliminate them and they are no consequences for you, because you are white? Telling the public that he ' s a loner. So that gives you a justification to shoot people?
Whether people want to say it or not, there is such thing call white privilege. Being white in the U. S. is a free pass to act wreckless and no consequences are given to you. Let ' s get real if this was a black kid, he wouldn ' t have even been arrested he probably would have been gunned down on SITE! That ' s a big problem. Is this the whites telling us to leave“ their land.“? Have we overstayed our welcome? So is this a doing by all means necessary movement? Let ' s give a quick history lesson. BLACKS DID NOT COME VOLUNTARILY!!!! We were dragged out of our villages and put on a ship to a foreign land to become slaves. So FYI! So in reality
