Systemically targeted
Not playing the blame game, just pointing out what is directly in your faces. If I can plainly see this, because they aren’t trying to hide it... it has never been any different... there is an agreed upon systemic abuse of the youth in our society
Money away from social programs to money for the police by the same premiere of Ontario
Our children are now attacking our children
And we turn blind eyes because we chose to
Parents of children 12 – 14 – 17 – 20 years old, are terrified daily / nightly, of other people’s children attacking them and at times taking their life
This is the message that these children are sharing obviously because this is what is being manifested right now. They are following blindly because we don’t have another effective message to guide them
Us lazy parents now need to parent
“We need protection from our own children” is what we all saying at times and the police have a program in place to facilitate just this
Watch certain children’s behavior during high school, give them enough charges, create a long standing relationship with these youths, who are now easily expendable in the eyes of the law and the public perception, this media, driven madness, rinse and repeat
14 – 17 year olds already have rap sheets
At the beck and call of this system for the rest of their lives
“They” have succeeded in turning us against our children and our children against us, very seamlessly
“Those animals” are someone else’s children so black people differentiate among ourselves, not realizing that we are criminalizing ALL black children. EVERYONE!!!
Forget about black children... These are helpless human children that we can give some information/s about the road ahead. It’s like as adults, we can’t wait to have the younger generation fail more than we did
I believe that they are smarter than us
They have us, plus their ancestors... they are better than us
We need their innocent eyes and souls... we must learn to trust them... they have seen more than you through you and your ancestors on both sides of mom and dad in spiritual time
Yes, experience is also HIGHLY necessary
We NEED our elderly... We need them guiding us as age creeps up and how to travel that journey... to teach a necessary wisdom that they have to impart to us because they were given that message, specifically for us
Protect your elderly
Sounds like confusion to me too yet it “feels” right to me
BUT WE MUST HAVE BALANCE
Yet no balance is forthcoming as the system seemingly is too far in motion for there to ever be a change
Corruption is easily paid for
At any price, full control is worth it
Yet maybe all I am capable of doing, is articulating the thought/s; as usual, a query to the universe. Maybe someone else has the solution to this and other questions, trying to minimize the constant abuse
Shining a light does nothing when it is the police... a situation directly instituted to do exactly what is happening now
No one doesn’t not know
We just recognize the futility of that information
It is also clear that if there are any collective, constructive moves to elevate the black community is lead with aggression from said system. It is the programming. The attacks on the so called Black Panther movement proves the point
Black Panther was probably chosen to intimidate “whitey”, focussing on militant behavior, to force equally rights and justice
It is viewed as militant to not think one self inferior to any other one
I’m not preaching or speaking militancy, I hope that I am affecting a thought process to elevate no matter the physical or spiritual abuses thrown at the process by said system
We have clearly seen the process played out. There are memorable speeches by Haile Selassie I, Marcus Garvey, Dr. King, Malcolm, Patrice, Rev. Farrakhan, Marley, Tosh, preaching equality and love, with busts and statues around the globe yet the message/s of pride in self through self reliance are still repeatable today
We are willing passengers in this ruse because any sort of change to it seems futile
Yet they all speak the same message
Self
The message
Self
It is an individual one
They are speaking to me
Just me... I don’t always quote their words, but I try to do how / what they do
The responsibility of this is self
That is their message I believe
We are forced to evolve beyond the systemic brutality
I ask questions
I shone my light
I hope the right solution is taking that light and passing it on
