So I've been a bit quiet about this as of late. I wanted to have enough time to be able to coherently gather my thoughts, and to properly express what I'm feeling inside. Let me echo one of my favorite rap artists,
2Pac:
"
They claim that I'm violent, just cause I refuse to be silient,
These hypocrites are having fits, cause we're not buying it,
defying it..."
Or, better yet, how about
Michael Jackson:
"
All I really wanna say...they don't really care about us!"
We've seen this time and time again. We see the same response by so-called Civil Rights activist/leaders calling for calm and peace. They make calls to "act accordingly", and not be confrontational, to practice nonviolence as a solution.
FUCK THAT!!!!
We DON'T need calm. Calm has never brought us any results. Hell...nonviolence has
never been proved to be an effective tactic against the oppressive powers. If any of you had actually bothered to study history, instead of listening to the bullshit rhetoric of these old ass talking heads on these Sunday morning news shows, you would know that even during the Civil Rights struggle, you had MANY that questioned the tactic of nonviolence after several deadly encounters with police forces in the American Deep South. That's one of the main reasons for the little splits that happened during the movement.
We
don't need more damned discussions. What we
need is organization and mobilization to counteract this oppressive treatment by an ever-increasingly militarized police force. We've been asleep at the wheel for the last
13 years (and lost our backbone <not to mention our minds> for the last
6 years); it's time to wake up, and face reality.
We need to defend ourselves. If we learned nothing from the BPP-SD, it was that we needed to protect ourselves from external forces that were detrimental to our community. Those who focused solely on their community programs and NOT on their self defense program and doctrine have shown that they know NOTHING about that organization, and truly have NO idea what they were about.
Let's cut the crap here. Michael Brown
wasn't some young thug making trouble in the community. Eric Garner
wasn't some local petty criminal making problems for the community. Neither deserved to be murdered by the police for no other reason than being a Black man on the street. When Eric Garner was murdered, he was accused of selling 'loosies' on the street, yet NONE were found on him at the crime scene, and WITNESSES were on hand to say that he was breaking up a fight, and had nothing to do with any criminality going on.
We are asleep and spineless. We are completely apathetic and complacent. Yeah..you'll have a few people go on social media...pop off at the mouth...and then go back to their bullshit lives, worrying about Scandal, Real Housewives, R&B Divas, and other stupid-ass nonsensical shit. We NEED TO FIGHT BACK!!!!!!
We need our own fighting formations. If you're too much of a pussy to want to stand up and fight, and talk that I-hate-violence bullshit, take your ass somewhere, sit your ass down, and SHUT THE FUCK UP. We do too much talking, and not enough action. To echo
2Pac again:
"
They claim I'm violent, then violent's what I gotta be"
Or, maybe I should be echoing my peoples
Public Enemy:
"
Shut 'em down".
I'll even through
my own voice into the mix:
"
No respect to the Boyz In Blue,
And it's not because I hate ya, it's just the shit I see you do,
Givin' beat downs, buck downs...goin' insane,
Ya runnin' shit, can't even roll through my own domain..."
If they want to militarize the police force, then we need to create
OUR OWN community defense force. There are a number of grassroots organizations in our community that are doing just that, but we choose to dismiss them as if they are crazy, and show them no support. Don't wait until it is too late, for another incident to hit our community. Stand up, and FIGHT BACK!! There is NOTHING wrong with fighting back. If we can cheer an uprising in a foreign country, then why not cheer and support an (well deserved) uprising on the home front?
Strategize....organize....MOBILIZE!!!!!
Uhuru sase, y paz
