(1,250 posts)Gotta stop worrying about what the White folks say.
This is the Internet Age. Ain't no secrets anymore.
That's why they're twerking right now.
Somebody gotta say it so I'll take it upon myself TO say it.
The late Eric Garner's mother is going for Hillary...
...but the late Eric Garner's daughter is going for Bernie.
And that says a WHOLE lot about what's going on in this country & our community.
I live in Georgia with a church damn near every half a mile.
Yet we're STILL mostly in struggle.
Maybe we should be building businesses instead of churches all the damn time.
Where is all that tithing going?
How much can the building fund REALLY be?
We're so damn passive & all this stuff just keeps going ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON & ON!!
And I'm TIRED of this shit!!!
Dylann Roof goes into your church that you welcomed him to & kills you...
...and then you say "WE FORGIVE YOU!!"
FUCK HIM!! DESTROY THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!
The Bundys terrorize Oregon with guns & get a slap on the wrist for the most part.
We're unarmed & we get beat down like we're a terrorist threat.
Ferguson looked like Iraqi occupation more than a Missouri street.
And after all that we just take it. We just shut down & move on with our day.
We just get apathetic because it's too hard to process all the abuse we go through in USA.
Some of us escape with drugs. Some of us escape with Jesus. But we're all escaping.
Problem is that ain't the exit. That ain't the escape hatch.
And when you FINALLY have a remote chance of finding a exit, you escape into Pantsuit-ville thinking she's gonna bring you on.
Yeah, Private Message me that term you wanna say so we can talk about it in private.
But don't EVER think I'm gonna keep it on the low just for the sake of the White folks.
Black folks need to hear it. EVERYBODY needs to hear it.
