I'm Fed Up

Have you ever considered this ideology.

I'm Fed Up
Adriana Boyd-Lewis

Think of it like this: Bobby is sitting at the table and he has no food and everyone else has food so he says "I want to eat." Everyone looks at him and says, "We all want to eat," then proceed to resume eating. It doesn't eliminate the fact that BOBBY STILL HAS NO FOOD!!! #BlackLivesMatter and stop saying #AllLivesMatter. At the point where everyone is collectively killed at the same rate as black men and women in America, then you can say all lives matter. Right now, at this very moment, BLACK LIVES MATTER!

I don't give a damn if you block me, delete me or unfriend me in public or private because I will speak my mind regardless. I am sick and tired of the bullshit! Yes, black-on-black crime still exists just as white-on-white and Latino-on-Latino. When a cop kills them, it seems we forget that they kill their own just as everyone does. It's only when blacks are lynched in the media (LIVE STREAM COVERAGE) that we also want to reflect on the fact that blacks kill blacks.

Fact: In 2016 alone, 491 blacks have been killed by cops in just the first 6 months .

Fact: Donald Trump has declared a race war

Fact: A black man dies by the hands of a cop every 28 hours

Fact: Donald Trump feels we have nothing to lose, so why not?

Fact: The more we wake up the more we are set up for the slaughter.

Fact: White privilege is the reason a kid who murders eight people can walk away and a man who sells CDs is now a trending hashtag.

I don't want to hear that all lives matter right now. I would like to hear that I am worth something because while your belly is full, I was never given a plate.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
