I can't take a lot of ya'll seriously.
You go hard
for Sandra Bland today but once social media stops talking about it so do
you. The oppressors really don't take you
temporary protesters seriously because they know you'll be mad
just as long as it's a trending topic. Why do you think this shit keeps
happening? Because social media is only a medium for conversation, not
action. You being angry on Twitter or on Instagram doesn't mean a single
thing because all you're doing is pressing some keys on a screen. If you
want things to change then get your ass up and do something, in person.
And make it
last longer than a week.
If one
method doesn't work try then try something else, there is always another way. I'm
just tired of them killing my people and laughing at the horrid videos with
thousands of retweets. Because that's all it is, a video with thousands of
retweets; and yes we all know, it's sick and disgusting. But why is it
that it keeps happening and no one is being punished? Because we don't care
enough.
Don't fire
at me for the truth. Anything else we put first and this needs to be pushed,
like really pushed. We have way too many brilliant people who can make it
happen. We just have to make it as important as eating and sleeping. I would
literally be destroyed if I put my whole heart into this and people weren't as
invested as I was, it would ruin me. Lord my people are dying over and
over and they're laughing at us.
They only
love us for our talents, for the art they can't recreate, they cannot imitate
our art because it comes from a place they've never visited and probably never
will. Things I learned about this life: people are fickle. Also that more
often than not, they only care if it has to do with them.
But fuck it, ya'll don't hear me tho.
Preach!
