It is the year 2020. We are in the middle of a purge, aka pandemic, and the horrible injustices black people face once again shows how devastating it is to have anything extra come along that has a greater impact on us than any other race. At first I thought it wasn’t killing black people but with how badly health care is provided for us it doesn’t surprise me that it is this bad. Well, if anyone wonders what the hell we are complaining about, I hope watching what happened to George Floyd first opened everyone’s eyes to what has been going on in the black community for years, yes Rodney was the first to be caught on tape, but there is no telling how many others this has happened to. I remember the black kid who cam into court and was so badly beaten he had to have on a face mask. I was young but it stands out in my mind. I think he tried to escape and an officer was killed in the process. He’s another one who is lucky to be alive. If he still is.
Second this is one of the horrors we live with every single day in the black community. Police does not mean safety to us, many times it is a death sentence. I appreciate the situation I am now in and I’m not as afraid. The cops in the neighborhood I live in know my dad and they don’t bother me. Word travels fast and I am actually pretty safe. Dad is still worried so we are limo riders now but he has been assured his children are safe. But like dad, I know it is only because of his financial status and as he puts it his total whiteness. (big smile). I like the idea Carm…black bros need a white bro buddy when they are out. Unfortunately, they will keep getting together in their gangs and seeking out a vulnerable, black person, that means alone, and murdering him or her.
