Let's All Erase 2020 From Our Memory Pt. 2

They say it is not RACISM, so I do not know what to call it. We tried to tell them that we MATTERED, they said we created a HATE GROUP. We decided it is time to BEAR ARMS, they called us a MILITIA GROUP. We tried to PROTEST, others came out to steal and they said we were LOOTERS.

We raised our hands up high, even told them where our weapons were located, and they still shot and KILLED us. We called them to help our mentally ill, and they shot and KILLED us. We told them we could not BREATHE, and they kept their knee in our necks, and KILLED us . When we tried to run away they chased us and shot us in the back, and KILLED us. They broke into our homes, and shot and KILLED us.

We had a pizza in our hands, a cell phone in our hands, a flashlight in our hands, a brush in our hands, we were walking, we were jogging, we were driving, we were cutting the grass, we were walking our dogs, we were selling water, we were trying to watch some television, we were just trying to get in our building, we were just getting a ride home, we had just had our car to breakdown, and they just shot and KILLED US.

They say it is not RACISM, SO WHAT IS IT?

Their job description is to simply Protect and Serve, that is what they say our taxes are covering. When was the last time you saw a cop protecting someone or serving someone? I will wait! Beginning early this year they continued to show us just how much we do not matter, they do not see us as they see themselves, and they should not; see we are different, there has to be something very special about us that they do not want us to know. They HATE us, and we just want to know WHY?

Let me show you their HATE:

That is 16 people KILLED, and as of the date of this story we have 40 days left in this dreadful year. These people were all KILLED by the people we hired to PROTECT US & SERVE US .......... Oh, and I forgot to mention not one of them had a weapons.

Then there was the one that was shot and left paralyzed from the waist down, he was not armed but this is what the officer said, "It wasn't just my life I was defending when I shot Mr. Jacob Blake". The excuse is so weak, saying that he thought Blake was going to kidnap his own kids. The officer said, "All I heard was "He's got my kid. He's got my keys,". His attorney adds that the officer felt if he let him go and something happened to those kids, then people would have said why didn't he do something?

We all have seen the video, they altercation started on the passenger side of the SUV the officers followed him to the driver's side and as he leaned in, not got in, he leaned in and was shot seven times in the back. If the officer was trying to stop him from leaving, there were four tires that he could have shot, and that truck would not have been able to go anywhere.

The disrespect that is shown towards Blacks is something that cannot be ignored, call it what you want, we know what we feel. We have seen repeatedly a white man with a gun shoot up several places and kill multiple people and the Officers will talk them down and arrest them. We have even seen them take the person to a fast-food restaurant before booking them. Then the 17 year old kid in Kenosha that shot three people has been released after some Christian organization held a fundraiser and raised over two million dollars, he raised his hands and approached Officers letting them know what he did and they ignored him.

Where do we draw the line? When do we say enough is enough? We did not create or define the word so lets see what Webster dictionary says:

RACISM "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group"(Webster).

ANTAGONISM -An active hostility or opposition, as between unfriendly or conflicting groups (Webster).

Again I ask if the way they treat us is not RACISM, tell me WHAT IS IT?

I know some are going to bring up the argument regarding Black on Black crimes, even though that is not what is being discussed here, we accept our weaknesses and understand the issue. Remove our fear of police killings, and stop the powers that be from removing benefits and programs from our communities, let us have what is needed and we would handle the rest. Look at Freedom Town Georgia, 19 families bought 97 acres of land in Georgia to create black-only 'safe space'. If you take a minute and watch the video below of their "Blackout Camp out" you will see when it is just us, we make things happen.

Once we get rid of that US mentality and learn to stop downing each other in public we could create the bond we had prior to the Jim Crow era, we have to know where they see weakness is where they are going to attack. Any non-proven statements from black people, against other black people, will always be amplified by the system of white supremacy to encourage division and confusion in the black community.

Our personal disagreements please allow those to stay within, if not we are allowing them the opportunity to use that as a weapon to keep our oppression and subjugation to the systems of America. Now if one is sure of their accusation and have proof, speaking about is warranted, but it should only be discussed within, remember this any other way is very destructive to our people and our culture.

We know how powerful we can be if left alone, we have shown it over and over again. As we end 2020 remember all those we have lost, and try to become a part of the solution, we have to find our on way no one here cares to assist us.
