THE SAD REALITY OF BEING BLACK IN AMERICA

After today's events I realized that there is still a long way to go. The nuckel heads showed thier ass and all of us had to reap what they sowed. The police showed up and showed out not even willing to take in account that we had nothing to do with what went on. But because of another's sin we all was grouped in because of the skin we wore. In front of my kids, I had to explain that there is a division and told them not be wary. I told them to do as they say and don't give then any reason cause things could  become very scary.  I explained the difference in society and encourage them to have pride in, the men that they will surely become. And I also explained that much hasn't changed so be careful of those among them. I told them that those in blue are there to protect and serve you, but there are some and many more than one that are only serving to hurt you. Be mindful of what you say, and do not play with those that the law says are above you. They hope you will bend and be too weak to defend even though they know they shouldve excused you. Be careful of what you do because they or the media will use it to condemn you. It's a sad reality when you have to build their mentality to keep them safe in  these streets. Not only the racism but also the hatism, is the truth I have to teach. And each night I lay and kneel down and pray that they practice what Mommie has preached! I pray to God that they will succeed despite the odds and see beyond the limits... that they will know to take God  everywhere they go and His spirit within them will give them strength to overcome this...
