I had to take a timeout from writing because if I didn't I probably would have written some un-politically correct articles about the state of America and the bullshit that has been happening lately. Between the racial tensions of the community as well as our elected public servants we vote into office. Now I have come off the bench refreshed and renewed with vigor on how I will approach this particular topic.
Black lives Matter is not just a black issue it is a brown issue and a non-Euro-American cause. Euro-America you cannot dictate how I'm suppose to feel especially lately; while driving and a N-word or a B-word are being yelled at me while driving by a Caucasian man in a Beemer, because he felt you needed to know you are inferior to his superiority. One by being a blasian (black and asian) and two by being a woman who knows to avoid his insults without retaliating.
I had a dear friend who said to unfriend her on social network because she did not agree with my feelings about what happened to Mr. Sterling and Mr. Castille,I was told by this dear friend that no matter what I should support cops, funny thing is I do support Cops. I have cops in my family like Lacy Johnson Sr., Cody Johnson, and Joey Caraway, I even have friends in the department like Kendale Adams who is a big advocate of giving back to our community.
I am sure they will agree that they have spoken to kids of a darker hue to be on your best behavior when approached by law enforcement. My intelligence factor I know is rooted in common sense and I believe that some people are feeling threatened by the fact that we are protesting the unfair treatment we have been on the receiving end for hundreds of years. When I was watching Roots the rebooted version, the movie quoted a statistic that according to the one-drop rule, almost 7.8 million white people are considered black.
All I have to say about that is welcome to America the melting pot of society. My family has many different dimensions, colors, sizes, and if we were the same life would be boring. I also have a lot of friends I call my family who came out in support of me and let me be my authentic self on and off social media. My heart is telling me if I want change I have to be the change, invoke change, and demand change. I plan to do this with working in tandem with law enforcement and the community I hold so dear.
