Black In America: The Power of Rage

 

We have to learn about power and violence in a whole new perspective. I’m down for the revolution. I’ve been told it cannot happen without bloodshed, so I’m bracing myself for that inevitability. BUT I am really spending my time in preparation by learning and understanding the system that oppresses us: finding its weaknesses and how it maintains control.

…

Often we have sat so idle for so long that our pain and anger has festered into disease that is sure to be toxic to any and everyone.

…

We should let our anger push us to participate in our local governments which direct the local law enforcement. We should use our anger to make us treat voting day like a national holiday and plan months ahead to take the day off and/or make arrangements to cast our votes.

Strange how Oscar Grant’s father didn’t win a settlement but Grant’s mother and daughter and Grant’s friends did win a settlement.

Black and brown communities continue to be disrespected by the police.

 

Police do not treat black and brown bodies as human. Police do not treat black and brown bodies as belonging to a parent.

 

Police still think they own black and brown bodies and can treat them with no regard for decency. Even little black and brown kids are abused by the police.

A young black man was killed this weekend. He was shot multiple times by police while walking to his grandmother’s house. He was left to die in the street, his body surrounded for hours by armed sentries while his family and community watched horrified from the sidelines. Michael Brown was unarmed. Today would have been his first day of college.
