Circa 2016, still talkin' about trainin' streets of America are soakin' wet, with blood, bullets, & it stopped rainin'. Camera phone footage to see, a blood stained presidency! An invasion of calm & peace, when BLACK LIVES only MATTER to the streets, let us pray, but God ain't fixin' this either. Killed Mario Woods yesterday, New Generation Rising, leaders.
"I HAVE A DREAM": tha' past. "By Any Means Necessary": didn't even last tha' Sixties. "We shall overcome": my ass. So, "Justice or Else": just another speech. Andy Lopez: what? Y'all don't know a little toy when you see one? Tamir Rice: what? Y'all don't know a little 12 year old boy when you see one? Why is there a New Generation of youth on death row? Giving more youth Life without the possibility of parole; high school aged kids, homeless in this nation, some simply for indentifyin' as having alternative sexual orientation.
Since I was 12 years old, tried my best not to quote that, but now it's 1.6 million homeless youth in America, even as I just spoke that. How can our young people not feel betrayed, left for dead & enraged? How mass incarcerated inner city youth now feel abandoned & enslaved? And then, we tell them to accept responsibility for when they misbehave, while the rest of us fail to accept responsibility for makin' it this way.
