That title "Are we welcomed" is pure sarcasm. I mean hey let sbe really real... we aren't welcomed because we never asked to come! We were brought here for our strength, used, abused, mad that we started sneaking and reading and using common sense. But that is my opinion however based of fact. I almost typed "when racism"- you know as in when racism was dominant... and then I thought to myself I cant use the word WHEN, I mean how the hell can I use the word when, as though its a past tense subject? This ia a dominent subject RIGHT NOW. In one week, actually on the same day but the news and media will have everyone think they happened a day apart-- please people read and do research, they took her video off FB and everyone who shared it got removed until the next day-- because they didnt want to add fuel to the fire!!! They did not want YOU people who get all irrate to know that Baton Rouge wasnt the only place, and there is NO WAY they would tell you that this one...had a perfect background, had all the rights, everything, nope couldnt tell YOU people that! That strength we brought you over for just might come to surface.... and so they see you march, the old marching band coming, black lives matter as they chant and who has to stop this, we can't have them rise above... kill some officers blame a black man.... sorry toe stepper there huh? Sorry not sorry, a 25 year old veteran? Someone please tell me, if you are a healthy individual how do you become a veteran at 25? The only veterans I know that are young have mental problems but OH hell no, we wont look at his mental record because only white people can use the excuse of mental issues... sorry for that toe stepper again... anyway, so we have a black man as a suspect, you know what we are done, here is the man, he killed those people, done deal.... now lets mourn the police officers, lets get their pictures going..... but wait, what about Baton Rouge and Minnesota? OH the media has replaced them with the police, dont blink too fast, they will change your direction of thinking... did you forget that fast? Who could forget its connected to the murders right? Ill tell you how, because murders are now just an exerpt in the news coverage three page story... a time line of events for the police, yet no timeline, no firing of police, no NRA coming forward, none of that, the distraction is working, they stopped the hastags! Now we have replaced black lives matter once again with all loves matter, oh someone quick throw in that black and black crime thing so they can remember they are kiling themselves to.... and dont for that MLK quote, dont use Malcolm! MLKs quotes are betterm they will read his quote remmeber the legacy and calm down... they wont remember that although he was non violent, his death was violent and the US was convicted of his murder, they wont recall any of that. They will see the quote and repost it.... and you know for certain that black on clack gets them everytime... never midn that statistically you are 6 times more like to get killed by a white person, never mind that 72%of white men killed are killed by---- OH watch your toes--- other white people!!!!! So guess what miss me with the we need to stop the violence in our own communities first-- yes we do--but they do too!!!! Why dont you get statistics about white people and crime and white on white crime? Because they single us out, they seperate our statistics from theirs... YET as soon as we yell black lives matter... we are told we shouldnt seperate, all lives matter, well if we shouldnt separate they why have we always been separated!? Its okay to separate us on paper, hell in schools, but if we show support separately from the "ALL" then we are soooooo wrong, we shouldnt do that, everyone matters. Hell if everyone mattered we wouldnt need the hashtag.
I am a mother, I am a wife, I am an aunt, I am a cousin, a friend, an in-law, a nice of black men. And I realized today as I listened to people discuss this serious police killing situation and tell me--- yeah me-- that black lives matter shouldnt ever be used, that thats making a division in this country... that all lives matter... asi responded extremely calmly and politically correct with a side of kiss my ass all deep inside of it... we had a moment of solence... and I used that time for guidance, asking God to calm me, to stop the hatred I was starting to feel in my heart... let me back up about an hour for you... CEO comes to managers office, talking quite loudly about what Mayor Rawlins wanted, closes door, I can hear them asking my boss if I would be offended by a moment of solence, asking have I been saying anything that might lead them to believe that my reaction to a moment of silence would cause issues....breathe, they walk out and moments later there is a "open invitation" to the moment of silence, reiterating at the end how voluntary this is, meeting starts and there is one chair left next to me, this white man who speaks to me daily, doesn't know if he can sit next to me, he is awkwardly standing at the back of the chair trying to make a decision to sit down..... how does he do it, he doesn't want to be next to me but he cant for the life of him look racist on a day like today now can he??? He eases the chair away from me, so far away that he is bumping into the next person, slides it back and sits down and continues to make sure he is NOT that damn close to me-- cause hey I just might POP right? I mean we are gathering for a moment of silence for officers, yet there was NO moment of silence for the two murders that happened before it, matter of fact it was completely ignored! Anywoo, CEO gets up, reads non denominational passages about looking to God for peace at a time like this, very nice passages, very nice working, and now we are back to the wench who... I'm sorry-- the lady explaining how lack lives matter is dividing the country... and I am still trying to figure out when in the hell were we ever a country united? Maybe that happened for about a month after 9/11, we all got along, we had another enemy... beyond that period I don't recall a calm non racial period, MLK, Malcolm X, those were the 60s, the 70s where who can get white people to like their music, but you better not come thru the front doors, you are here to perform! 80s, I remember as a child being called a heifer and my mom almost going to jail. I remember my mom being called a mammy-- oh that was like calling her a bitch..again, just THIS close to jail for her, I remember knowing that we could not act normal around police, we had to act a certain way, hands were they could see them, yes ma am no ma am yes sir no sir, that entire "yes massa" era, but hey we were making good music, we could come ion the front door! News of black men being hung still happened in the 90s!!! Jasper Texas, oh y'all forgot huh? And when the 2000s hit we thought we were the shit, we were equal-- not, you just didn't have the videos and live stream to see it, i has to be word of mouth. Oh please understand I grew up a lot in Hammond, La, going to Mississippi was not permitted at night! Going down any back road that didn't have stores, and lights-- was a death wish, and yes this was in the 90s and 2000s. 3010s came and the world went fucking nuts!!!! What the hell... oh wait not went nuts because our black men's lives became less than important, went crazy because FB and Iphones and all that started RECORDING the shit, y'all the world hasn't GONE nuts, you just get to see it all know!!! So I am sure all those government phones they handed out are backfiring-- shit, now they videoing us, take the phone and low and behold the LOVELY FB came out with live stream... never thought they would have to delete so much stuff when they thought ot this! Oh now you can take that phone and do whatever because its now ON FB
So are we welcomes here? No, but we never have been because we never asked to come.... Your eyes are only open because now you have proof. But smoke and mirrors on the media will have you believing whatever they choose for you to believe, they put a post out there and everyone shares it and thinks its real and its right. RIP to everyone who has lost their lives to violence, I will not promote or stand behind senseless murders on either side....
But I will tell you the conversation I had today--made me realize they DON'T GET IT. They have NO IDEA what its like to be a black man in America.... and I don't either, but I know what its like to be black woman, an aunt to a nephew who is a "big dude" which in america equals threat. A husband who calls me when he is pulled over because he needs someone to hear and pray while he is being questioned for a tail light. Two boys who will grow up in the world of pure injustice. They don't get the black man, they don't get the black woman... no we aren't welcomed here....
I rambled, my mind is everywhere-- but y'all get the drift!
