Racism VS. Truth and peace!

expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id' >

The following thoughts are from my group journaling. I needed to share this with the rest of the world due to orders from my friends and family and my group of friends who will remain nameless.

These are thoughts that will share with you what is stirring within me due to the BART shooting of an unarmed black man, Oscar Grant. My heart goes out to his family and to those who knew him well. My heart goes out to those who feel like they can be next, my heart goes out to all those who feel anger and want to take it out on all cops and people of the white race. I write this today, because that is not the answer.

It's not the tragedies that kill us. It's the messes.
- Dorothy Parker

A lie cannot live.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the beginning I hated you and the way that you made people feel. I hated the words you used and the words you created in order to keep a people at bay. Your ability to lie, cheat, steal, kill, disenfranchise, dehumanize, enslave and so on, has had a hold on on my mind and I did not know if it would ever let go. Then it came to me one afternoon, that I should love you, that I should embrace the power that you have given me to control your every thought.

What you have done is find yourself living a lie. Yes you may have conquered a people and enslaved their thinking causing them to feel superior instead of learning the tools need to be human. Instead you taught them how to be savages and you caused an otherwise resourceful group of people and possibly created the worlds largest murdering class the planet has ever seen.

I know you try to do all that you can to keep the murder rate high, the hatred stewing in a boiling hell you have created for man kind. However that will not last forever.

Look what you have done to your great group of people. You have lead them so far from the path of true life that their women are afraid. The sight of a black man freaks them out. To this day I have seen many a purse choked and for no reason, other than to protect themselves from a lie. The truth is it is quite funny and we have realized that we have the power now. That we can not change this world to be one people and one goal to live in a euphoric state minus fear and racism.

No longer do your victims have to live in fear of a backlash, in the fear that their victims will have an epiphany and become the once great kingdom(s) of people they once were. I tell you this racism, your victims may have once thought they were God gift to the planet, but they are beginning to awaken. To the fact that all man kind is a gift from God and no one is greater. You now have to live in fear, we have always been great and hatred you are on terrorist watch list.

Think about the times we were on our knees shining your shoes, picking your cotton, working your land, on an empty stomach and think about what we did to get away. All of that on an empty stomach with no real meal plan to sustain a human beaning. Now peace is well fed and ready to take back what belongs to harmony.

Now on my table there are choice meats, lobster and shrimp. Pies filled with the best fruits, breads of all kinds and plenty of water. Although you attempt to destroy my dinner; I eat on, although you inhabit the body of cops, lawyers, judges, clergymen, politicians, doctors, corporate leaders and peons alike. You will never make me angry. I realized that you have lied to those who believe in you and they lived in a fear that is of their own doing, all because they believed in you.

Now I know that you have tried to become a part of me, and make me fear the other. I will not do this for love is my way. Hate does not carry me through the day, it is love that gives me my power, it is compassion for my fellow man that brings me up high. I am not going to act as if you did not have a hotel in my heart, there was a moment you did and I did not know what to do. I thought I was not a friend of you but I realized that I became a close friend to you and in you. Now today, I have let you go to leave me forever. I will not separate my browns from the pinks, my yellows from the reds, my black from the whites, I will wash it all together for the world is bound together and your idea is a false way of giving a man and a people a false sense of superiorly. It back fired, it has given me a superior life

through their captivity due to trusting in you.

From seeing the new day with a new president I realized in that moment we will see who is who. America is a country, the people make it a community, and they have secured it with hope, by selecting a new leader that displays the power of one world and one country. This is within his skin, this is within his soul, this is within the life that he has lived.

From the beginning of time you have made attempts to enclave the hearts of the world and the people in it. You have come in many forms, however the day has come that man kind is awakening to you. Although you may still have some in your grasp that number is becoming smaller and smaller. I guess it is time to call it a good night. Then again I think that you will make one last attempt to maintain your superiority or your disillusion of what you think is strength. You will sneak into the hearts of Cops like you do every night, but the world can see it now clear as day. That poor cop has not one bit of his life left all because you had to ruin it and along with that you took a life. That is two lives for one, and that makes you feel that you are winning and I know you will keep trying. But I know my humanity and I know human kind, they are tired and you will lose this battle. The war is almost of and peace is winning. So count you minor chips, I run the casino and your gambling days are over.

You may sneak into a bar fight and cause black on black crime, jump a white kid causing an outcry in an otherwise quiet town, you may spray paint racial slander on walls of schools, bathrooms, and cities. You may bring about riots, but those riots are not and will not be fought one sided, they will be fought by an idea of true justice and by people who believe in truth, not mater their skin tone or racial classification. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE AND ONE RACE!

People if you have made it this far through my rant, then I want you to meditate on this. To digest the ideas and realize exactly what it is that I am saying here. It is important that we take new ideas and create a world that is not controlled by fear and hatred. We must cultivate a world that is not filled with hatred and deceit. We must not let racism get the last laugh or the final victory.

I am asking you to look within yourselves and reevaluate the life that you life. Honestly do this!!!!

If you have ever been told that you are racist chances are that you are. Have you ever been looked at dirty and do not know why, while walking through a mall? Chances are you have done something to display your racial indifference. Have you ever worked in a store and asked the person of color if they need help when it was clear that they do not need a personal shopper? Have you ever been in a situation where you follow that same person of color around a store just to realize they make more money than you and have no plan to steal your goods? Chances are you are races!!

Those are some prime social examples of the virus that is racism and it lives inside of you. No matter your color you must take heed. Racism is a root to an evil that the will be written in the next bible and your religious book of law.

This reminds me to when Rakim stated this line in his highly underrated single Guess who's Back,' The things that I've seen will be written in your next Bible”. That statement means so much to me personally. I have seen war for what? Broken Family for what? Broken Friendships for what? Broken Communities for what? Broken teams for what? Broken lives for what? And this goes on.

Do not let racism take your soul it is all you have in the end.!
