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
