If we can learn to come together in many situations we will learn that we are stronger in numbers. We as a people we are born givers, lovers, defenders, protectors, kings, queens we have just lost our way. The division has now been engraved in our DNA so deep that's all we know. It saddens me to see my brother or my sister devauling each other when we know what the struggle is all about. It doesn't matter how much money one has or what kind of education you have in most eye's you are still less than.
Because of the color of ones skin hate, bigotry and killing makes him/her a target. Watching over your shoulder not knowing if someone who looks like you will try to take your life. You also look over your shoulder because of police brutality. Brown and Blacks know how hard it is just to enter into the room even harder to fit in.
Yet we are so hateful to our own kind that we will steal and kill our own just because that person is doing better than you are. Each day we wake up we are alotted the same 24 hours as the next person, you have a chance to make your life better. When will we finally wake up and learn to come together as a community. Build our own houses, run our own business and provide for our own like we did in the past.
Why is it so hard for us to come together? Why is it so easy to take the life of someone who looks like you? Why do we do it when we know the struggle? What is it going to take in order for us to come together?
Media glorifies the negative of the black culture but fail to show the good in what we do. But if we stop giving them stories to tell we can take control of the narrative. Shine a more positive light on our culture and community. But we first have to want better and make a way to do better so that we become better together.
