American Apartheid

Voter I.D. is just the beginning.
Voters have always had to identify themselves.
The new stringent requirements asked of voters begin to outline the "papers please"
mentality and policy of a racist authority.
Regimes do this.
South African officials did this to black citizens living in their own land.
Few families can trace their history in America farther back than African America families
can. The descendants of slaves are very, very American. The slaves built a nation rich enough and
powerful enough to defeat the 18th century British Army and Navy.
Without the North American slaves, ther'd have been no place at all about which the statue could
say, "Give me your tired, your poor..."

Do You Like Your Children Murdered?

Well if you don't we are gonna tear gas you!
Anyone does anything we don't like, we are going to
train guns on you all.
This is what we call law enforcement.
If that weren't so sad, it would be so laughable.

Peace In America

Peace here may mean people are quiet, and soft-spoken, and orderly when their youngsters are gunned down in cold blood and left lying dead in the streets for hours like road kill.
Later, hours later, the murdered young man's body was hauled away in an SUV.
And the community felt so peaceful regarding it all.
Wait? Would that be a community of human being people?
Odd.

American Police Insist On Shooting Any Young Black Male

The home boys I know are packing and ready.
They don't normally kill people.
But they do not trust "po pos".
Seems unusual, because police rarely kill armed black men, except maybe in
Hollywood movies.

Violence: Shooting Unarmed Young Men- Very Violent

Is there any possible way in the world for anyone in Ferguson to behave more viciously than
Darren Wilson, or the Ferguson Police department for that matter.

The Indictment Came In August 9th- 2014

Mike Brown Jr.'s community indicted Darren Wilson.
Now they want to know if anyone has yet heard them.

An Awful Anniversary

The closer we get to the holidays, the closer we get to the anniversary of the Newtown massacres in Connecticut.
My heart is aching over this.
In part, I'm very hurt to know our collective conscience has withered from loving our guns so much more than we love our babies...our small, helpless humans. Something is choking off  the blood flow to our morality muscle- and we seem to relish the twisted rush that's giving us. .
Going forward, we are going to need more than our guns. We are going to need God to have mercy on our immortal souls. And for that, as well as for the children in whose honor we have changed absolutely nothing, so that we could mourn them, I do sincerely pray.
