4th of July

You Celebrating 🎊 the 4th of July like its "Independence Day" 🇺🇸 But still we aren't independent. 

I'm not talking about our own house, car, job and money, because those aren't ours anyway. We still are dependent.  

My brothers and sisters flooding county jails, over indicted for things they haven't done, patiently waiting for that, "We's Free Now Letter," our war hasn't been won. 

Brothers in prison on their way home from a 10 year bid, wake up one morning to receive another indictment for some shit they never did. Only to keep him from his connection to his people. The colors Red, White and Blue shouldn't be worn by the people. Those colors are evil. Our #Red blood spilled by #White men in #Blue and the crazy people still preaching, "we are equal". 

Yet we shoot Fireworks 🎇 and BAR-B-QUE for poor education, the miseducation and economic castration of the brown people. 

So, what I call today, is Dependent Day. The day they give us our own nation, I declare that our Independence Day.

They tell us to further our education, “Go to college and get a degree”. We then say, “we can’t afford college, we don’t have any money”. Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
