Many young youth of color have been targeted by po'lice brutality and internalized racism. The "see a n*$#@a, kill a n#%!&a" way of thinking has many of our communities terrorized by our own kind. Then add racist police brutality and now we have a nation saturated with blood thanks to the hateful, hypocritical, thieves that this nation has called our honorable rulers.
To bring my people here as slaves, noting that we are second-class, and to make it lawful to hunt us down and colonize our minds into the "n#!%a mentality" has been one of the european's greatest accomplishments.
Travon Martin's case is all the more difficult because in amerikkkas' eye's Ron Zimmerman is REALLY a hero for killing this young black man.
His bail was a slap on the wrist (his bail was later revoked, not because of Travon's murder, but for lying to a judge about his finances). How many innocent blacks and others of color that have been slaughtered just for being a person of color? let the "other" media tell you, the ku klux klan have only killed 3,400+ blacks in this country. No mention of the massacre of my Native brothers, the original owners of this land, nor any mention of my brown comrades that because of racist, false boarders are forced to jeopardize their lives and leave their families for a slice of amerikkkan pie.
All of their blood seeps thru the seductive hands of amerikkka, so it is safe to say this land and it's "rulers" have consumed the lives and spirits of MILLIONS! There are no REAL laws to protect the citizens of color here in this country, because WE are all suspects.
Laws like "stand your ground", "stop and frisk" and "justifiable homicide" were not meant to make us safer, but to control people of color by threatening death to those that resist and attempt to resurrect the people. We also have a lot of community terrorists that looks like us, act like us, because it IS our own folks! Why is our black an brown folks dying behind red or blue, when we are fighting for more green from the whytes to live like human beings? We have street soldiers who will kill innocent children, mothers and fathers and brag about their contributions to such internalized destruction on facebook! To get shot at in the western addition is all too common, whether you are a "gang member" or not.
My neighbor, Taz is NOT in a gang, she helps out in tha hood, and takes care of her family, but Tuesday night, she, and another neighbor got their windows shot out (no one was hurt) and I myself just bumped my knee trying to duck. This is not the way anyone should be living! And if we are not being threatened with gunfire, we are being threatened with evictions left and right because the internalized "overseers", would rather get a manicure than to see if the tenants' paperwork is done correctly! We as the "peoples' people" are in a helluva fix and fight.
And it is really sad to see members in the community act worse than the po'lice, or in some cases worst than the ruthless "rulers" themselves.
