BLACK LIVES

My heart goes out to all the families that have lost a love one to the act of violence or hate crime. The most recent pain if the death of Nine Black innocent lives, while in bible study. See the enemy got bold enough to go inside the house of the Lord so we must get bold and fight back with all our power to put an end to this crazy epidemic of killings . In today’s society people are bringing attention to a very sensitive subject and that’s Racism. One of my FB friends wrote a post stating that as blacks we can’t, go swimming, Go to the store, walk through good neighborhoods, or even reach for your license. If you have read the news you would see a death or racial incident that is associated with each statement. The communities are stepping up and having peaceful protest. But the Media portrays Blacks as violent and only puts out negative protest which makes one think negative of all Blacks. The police tend to approach all situations very hostile, but with other racists they follow protocol. They must earn the trust of the community.
