The black man was systematically set up to fail by a monster machine that is now being run on autopilot, or as they would have us believe, because they keep slinging that slogan that, "things are different NOW"...yeah okay! <br />I believe that it all starts with the mother...meaning it lays in our hands, to make sure that the boys we give birth to are well informed of the past his-story and our-story. I feel that is the only way we will ever break the invisible chains that have been passed down to our seeds. I say ours, because hispanics are being attacked too...our youths have been filling up the prison system for a long time also. I tell my mom often, at the end of the day, hispanics are targeted and seen as disposable just as other so-called minorities are too.<br />Strength begins in the fibers of the brain, I believe, and not in the tone of muscle. We have to start by bringing in our children off the streets and educating them to the truths that will not be told to them in the class rooms. <br />Hey sis, I'm not preaching to you, just sort of thinking out loud here. I love this poem you wrote! It's 2009, but we must never allow the powers that be to lull us into a sense of security, because I believe that behind the scenes, they stay fine-tuning there diabolical plans for world domination, lol, you know what I mean, conspiracy theories can be funny at times, but the truth is scary and deadly queen. But I know you know...so I'm not preaching just agreeing with you. I have a three year old son, and this world makes me scared for him. I plan to arm him with the knowledge of what God intended him to be, in hopes that he is not blinded by the bling of the streets.<br />Power To Our Peoples!!! <br />=0)Izachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343999271271975154noreply@blogger.com
