Warriors {A Dedication To All Who Have Lost Their Life To Racial Injustice}

Brown girl, brown girl,  what do you see? I see the world looking down on me.

Brown boy, brown boy what do you see? I see the world is trying to kill me.

Wow. What is today? Is this 2015 in the Great land of America, the land of the Free ? That is still so hard to believe.  When America wrote those words “Land of the Free” they already enslaved you and me.

Now, this is not just plain slavery that we have endured for over 400 years or is it the original post slavery period when we were not told that we had been set free. This is slavery plus two hundred years of additional injustices which equals over 600 years of enduring bondage of the mind, body, and soul still being treated as property.

Do not resist, they say but aren’t those the same words that “Massa” used to say. Do as you are told and I just might let you live (wow such privilege for them to say no guarantee that you will not be lynched in the street for all to see. But a guarantee that your lyncher will get away with it. Where have we heard this before).

Let us take a pause, people of color have endured so much pain but “Please don’t be violent back to us just walk the streets until you can re-trust US (us or United States which ever applies).

Violence is not the answer but let us stop pretending we have no idea where this anger is stemming from. Start with yourself and stop any negative or oppressive thoughts so we can build a mental Army. This will allow us to elevate to key positions that will bring change to generations to come.

Remember just in the sixties we were not allowed to use the same facilities as our counterparts. And we had warriors of change to step in and protest for our rights. This must continue.

Let’s all look in the mirror and ask ourselves what do we see. Your reflection matters on how you strive for perfection but please know you deserve PROTECTION!!!!!!!

What Do you see? I pay homage to all of the warriors that have given their lives so we can have a better life through change.

We miss everyone of you, our Warriors.

  1. Word! The acts of violence against are community leaves you speechless at times especially as you watch people justify it making the victim the perpetrator

  2. This post goes hard. We needed to be reminded that all lives and experiences matter. Value most be the center of attention. I lift all the Warriors and loved ones up. Stay powerful.
