I know that by now it has finally set in that Donald Trump is actually running for president of the United States. I want to run for president next time. If he can do it, then I’m sure I should be able to as well.
Seriously, are we actually surprised that Trump is the Republican nominee? Did we really start to believe that the Civil Rights Movement ended in 1968?
I am not surprised at all. The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2012 should be a clue that racial tensions are still very high in this country.
People that feel that racial tensions aren't high are the ones that aren’t lending their ears to us. They’re the ones that say “color isn’t an issue for me.” Which is great if it is not an issue for you, but for the rest of the country, it’s an overbearing issue for us.
I can give you facts that’ll show you the number of colored men arrested versus the number of white men. I could also show you how white women have a higher income than colored women.
Statistics do not change emotion. Further Action Is Required.
I was asked recently if our country would ever fall into war again.
Yes, it will. If Hillary Clinton becomes the next president, then we better prepare ourselves for the angry Trump supporters. If Trump becomes president, then we better prepare ourselves for the angry citizens of this country that are not in favor of bigotry and any racist rhetoric.
I have friends on social media that use the hashtag #PoliticalRevolution. My question to them is, how far are you willing to go for this revolution?
There is a difference between and activist and a revolutionary. The activist is ‘actively’ involved in social campaigns, protests, sit-ins, rallying, and all other forms of public events behind a certain movement.
The revolutionary, though, is not an activist. The revolutionary is the one that devotes every single day to the cause she/he is passionate about, along with causes that will benefit society. A revolutionary is the one that will physically lose sleep, endanger their health, lose connection with family members, and even be exiled from their country just for the greater good of society.
All of the people feeling ‘burned’ by Bernie Sanders and his decision to endorse Hillary, the people that won’t vote because they do not believe in the ‘better evil’ option, or the people that are deciding to vote a Third-Party candidate, how far are you willing to go for this revolution?
Are you willing to give up your comfort for the greater good of society?
There is a thing called revolutionary suicide.
“...if blacks are going to die anyway, even kill themselves, they might as well die for a reason, for a cause, for something that might eventually lead to change in those social and political conditions that are literally killing them.”
