This could have been your mother, father, or grandfather who stopped at the store after church.
May 14 in Buffalo New York at your friendly neighborhood grocery store near you 10 black people were shot down like dirty dogs as they were deciding what they was gone cook for a Sunday dinner. 3 people were injured. In yet another racial mass killing. Soft targets killed just buying some bread, milk and eggs for Monday morning breakfast. More people killed simply for being a different color. The government is worried about terrorist from other countries when we have a plethora of home grown terrorist living right next door to you, working with you, golfing with you, hunting with you. The stupid fool livestreamed it on twitch. Hey government don’t try to shut down twitch. You know we always blame everybody but the right person that’s the American way.
This clown did reconnaissance the day before so he wasn’t that mentally challenged.
These innocent black people were shot down dead just because he thought that they was gone replace him and take his money, job, and woman or so he said.
Roland Martin said it best replacement theory. I know we black people are the bomb diggity and are swag is real, and no matter who you are you can’t beat our tenacity, persistence, ingenuity but really really!
I’d be willing to say this clown didn’t even have a job or want a job, what money? But when you want to get away with a crime against black people just say I thought I saw him stealing something, or breaking into something, or whistling at my woman and you become justified for killing us.
Racism will always exist as long as white people keep denying the fact that their wealth was built off of the backs of black people and therefore they have generational wealth while we have generational poverty.
The other thing white people need to admit to, is that they are still on black people’s necks using those old Jim Crow rules differently and more subtly to keep black people from ever achieving what they have.
For example mass incarceration, voter suppression, redlining, low and inferior education, disparities in health care, gentrification, blighted neighborhoods, food desert where there are no fresh fruits and vegetables. These are just the things that we know of. Just recently Wells Fargo was found to be holding fake interviews for women and black people just to boost their diversity numbers and probably to get some funding as well.
So until white people admit they are STILL trying to hold a brother down using those same old tactics in a sneaky underhanded way nothing will change.
On the other hand black people have to hold themselves accountable for the things that they do to cause their downfall.
EVERYTHING isn’t the white man’s fault…
John Lewis said it best and that is,
“Democracy is not a state it is an act”.
Biden may have signed into law that there should be a national database for officers who have been fired for misconduct. But what if they didn’t get fired, they quit. I can see that being a loophole. What if the officer in question is a superior and the rookie can’t or won’t tell on his supervisor in fear of his job and being blackballed with the blue wall then what.
Yeah they may have changed the wording to say that they can’t have a no knock warrant but they can still bust in under the guise of I heard someone screaming.
When none of these things work then they get desperate and start lying, locking people up and killing people, because they are scared of being replaced and they don’t want to lose that,
WHITE GLOVE PRIVILEGE.
When we look at all the shootings they share some eerily similarities.
RACISM, FEAR OF BEING REPLACED, bullying, a loner, able to get guns and finally more importantly; these shootings could have been prevented had someone listened. They announced what they was gone do on social media. There were red flags like threatening to kill somebody, or killing animals, or hating certain groups of people, but because the targets were unimportant, not your dignitaries, rich or white they became easy targets.
I know many people are saying; defund the police and everybody should give up their guns, the devil is a liar. In my humble opinion neither of these are the solutions.
This is Sharon 101:
What we need is a 5 tier accountability in order to get a gun.
Like in the bank in order for you to get in a safety deposit box, somebody else have to have a key too. So one person can’t do a thing without the other person
We need to allocate more funding for more police officers to get mental health training as well as police training.
Look at our babies watching this at such an early age no wonder they are having mental breakdowns at 15.
The scripture says: How long will we go through this. This is how long we will go through this.
Mark Twain said it best in his travel quotes, but it is so relevant and timely for these times we live in.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrowmindedness, and MANY of our people need it sorely on these accounts”.
We say we are a Christian country well Jesus Christ loves EVERYBODY.
LOVE IS THE KEY
