OPEN YOUR EYES
MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN, MY EARS ARE CLEAN AND MY MIND IS VERY CLEAR. I AM A TYPICAL BLACK MAN BORN AND RAISED IN AMERICA, AND I HAVE FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY SEVENTY-FOUR YEARS OF EXISTENCE HERE IN AMERICA, LIVED UNDER A VIOLENT, CRUEL, DEMEANING, DEGRADING, SYSTEM OF SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION OF 'PEOPLE OF COLOR', MOST SPECIFICALLY PEOPLE OF THE BLACK RACE.
I AM SPEAKING OF SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN EVERY SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACET OF A PERSON'S LIFE...SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN EDUCATION, SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING, SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT, SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, SYSTEMIC RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE COURT ROOMS AND THROUGH OUT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, SYSTEMIC RACIAL PROFILING, STEREOTYPING, AND MURDERING OF BLACKS UNDER THE COLOR OF AUTHORITY, AND IN UNIFORM, BEING ENCOURAGED BY THE SUTTLE DOG WHISTLES OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO YES, WE PROTEST, BOTH PEACEFULLY AND VIOLENTLY. WE BURN UP SHIT,WE THROW SHIT, WE LOOT SHIT, WE SCREAM, WE CRY, WE PLEAD FOR JUSTICE.....AND WE BEG TO BE TREATED EQUAL......YOU HAVE FOR OVER FOUR HUNDRED YEARS NOW, GIVEN US BOTH THE RIGHT AND THE REASONS TO DO ALL OF THIS AND MORE....., AND WE WILL DO ALL OF THIS AND MORE UNTIL YOU...………"OPEN YOUR EYES"
AMERICA'S SYSTEMIC RACISM HAS BEEN CLEARLY FILMED AND RECORDED FOR THE WORLD TO SEE...THE EIGHT AND ONE HALF MINUTE COLD BLOODED MURDER OF A BLACK MAN BY FOUR OF AMERICA'S WHITE POLICEMEN !!!!! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH !!!!! CHANGE MUST COME NOW..... "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY"
GOD BLESS THE GOOD, AND TO HELL WITH ALL THE REST !!!
