I am so damn mad this morning [View all]

[Coolest Ranger]

Twenty four hours later I am still mad as hell at what happened in Charleston, SC. I haven't been on in a while to post but I jut wanted to stop by to express my grief and anger. I am a black man of mixed ancestry. I am part black, part white, and part Native American, but guess what the racist see, they only see the black part of me.

All day yesterday on social media, conservative trolls jumped down my grill because I dared to ask when will the gun violence stop and my response was never. Right away the insensitive conservatives started playing their what about it games. Let me tell you, I FREAKING HATE THE WHAT ABOUT IT GAMES THEY PLAY.

I made it clear on several posts that I am not interested in starting a gun debate with you, zero interest. Right away they started saying, its a public forum, I can say anything I want so my response back before blocking them was that yes its a public forum but I have a right not to half to hear your mess too. Some folks started saying I was not being fair.

9 FREAKING PEOPLE IN A CHURCH WAS KILLED AND YOU THINK I AM NOT BEING FAIR?

It got so bad that I had to walk away from the computer yesterday for a few hours to calm down. How are you going to sit there and insult someone over and over again who is clearly grieving for people he has never met but you got no problem defending your precious guns or you got no problems defending your clearly racist issues.

Then there is the killer and I'm not going to mention his name because I have to admit that every time I see the little creeps picture he sends chills down my spine. Why is it that when the shooter is white, cops go out of their way to take them in peacefully, then when you have black folks who shoot, we're shot and killed and called thugs and thrown the books at you.

This is wearing at my soul. I am getting sick of the justification that white people keep throwing at the people like the shooter that got caught while at the same time, we're told that we need to sit down, accept the status quo and shut up. Guess what, I am a religious guy myself. Yes I believe in god. Had I been living in Charleston, there is a good chance I would have been a member of that church and I would have been at that bible study event and most likely I would be dead right now. The thought of someone killing me for my color still sickens me to this hour.

WHEN THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO GROW THE FREAK UP AND START DEALING WITH THIS?

What is it going to take before we wake the hell up and stop treating folks like me like we're the enemy of this country? Is it going to take the death of our President before you all get off your collective butts and help us do something? I am so damn tired of having to see shooting after shooting, I'm disgusted and I'm angry and I have had enough.

This man said that he was going to kill black people. He said that quote we were raping their women and that we got to go. When the hell are you going to stand up democratic underground and do something about these extremist racist white people? I am not going to come back to respond for a while because the more I type this the angrier I get. I'm going to go and cool off and go back to writing and editing my novels. I have got to calm down before something happens to me that I'm going to regret. I'll be checking back to see what your thoughts are on this.

Please forgive me for my rant but I had to get this off my chest.
