The trial is done. The verdict was in. Are you mad? Is your blood boiling? What are you going to do about it?
No I am not talking about rioting or targeting people of opposite race?
I am talking about fixing ourselves.
The problem is we don't take responsibility for our race anymore. What will you do tomorrow? Or Monday? What will you do to take this negative and turn it into a positive? We can't change minds. We can't fix racists. We can only fix ourselves. We can't only be angry when the media tells us to be angry. We have to be angry whenever a senseless death occurs. As angry that we are now that a young black boy was killed by a Hispanic....we should be doubly mad when a young black child is murdered by another young black child. We have to respect ourselves before anyone else can respect us.
Yes black people we are in danger and it was well before this trial. Our inaction is causing our demise.
Where are the hoodie pics and marches for the children dying in Chicago?
Did we even stop what we are doing for the little girl who was killed a week after appearing in the Inauguration?
We've allowed our fight for civil rights to wither and die. We give more credit to people coming out of jail than out of college. The only thing that truly saddened me during this trial is that a young black woman will graduate from High School and probably not earn that diploma.
Unfortunately this will fall on deaf ears. I am not the only person saying these things. People smarter than me have been saying the same thing for years. You will go about your life. You will forget about this as time goes on. I am sure in the next few months the media and the 'so-called' black leadership will get you riled up about some other tragic occurrence.
We have to make a change.....What are you going to do?
