Free-ish!
First and foremost I just want to say Fuck the United States of America for making the fourth a holiday and just now recognizing Juneteenth. Secondly we as a people still aren’t free after 400 years of slavery, 100 years plus of oppression, systematic racism and hate. Racism didn’t end they just started throwing rocks and hiding their hands, hiding behind badges instead of hoods. The entire world is paying attention now and we have to continue to fight for not just equality but reparations and the destruction of the system now as we know it. We are superior in everything except organizing ourselves and that is largely at fault to the powers that be in this country. The system is corrupt therefor the entire country is corrupted.
Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?
This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole. I spent it walking the walk and talking the talk with my people in protest and documenting everything in our nations capital, Washington DC . The media will try to portray this as anarchy and mayhem, which it was, but there was a lot of love and compassion for those being wronged and standing up for themselves in a system that has continuously held them under a bending knee. The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America. We built this country and most certainly can tear it down! Im still rooting for whoever looting! they side eye us when we come in their stores, refuse to hire us, won’t stand with us and use the stores as a shelter for aiding protesters, but Im supposed to put a business with insurance for these type of things priority over human life? NAH. Take this L America and do right by the people who fuel this country or watch it burn, fuck it Im riding wit mines…
“Blindspotting”
Stumbled on this clip from the film blindspotting. Powerful scene but apart of me wish he blew his head off just to give the audience the realness of the situation.

Sick and tired!
Another black man slain at the hands of racist police. I don’t have any words for it other than how utterly ridiculous it is that during a pandemic Black people have to riot and raise hell because of the racist injustices the people hired to protect us. I didn’t even watch the video it’s all the same to me now… black men being killed isn’t even shocking to me anymore, and that’s the scary part, it’s become the norm.
Also I just find it funny #They can protest with guns drawn but when a black crowd protests its tear gas and riot gear. When #They stormed government buildings with assault rifles they had a police escort damn near.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I don’t think any other living creature on this planet knows how it is to be a Black Man in America in 2019.
