RIP Brotha' Trayvon Martin.
I'm tired of hearing the words, "Times are not as bad as it use to be." My Black Sista's and Brotha's, that is so so true. But it's because we're just not seeing it AS MUCH AS it was in the past. We don't hear about lynchings every week. But we hear about killings every month. Just because CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, etc don't show it doesn't mean it's not there. "They're touching our nerves!". We have to watch this system.
Things have resurfaced since OB has come into the office as the President of the United States. Now we have to realize that it's coming in a different directions. The people in the republican office are showing you signs but some of us are not seeing them or some of us just don't want to see it. When you make racist slurs, disrespect the Pres.'s wife and make negative comments about his children, "That're touching our nerves."
When you do not have the Respect enough to call a Black Man 'President' what are you doing, "Touching our nerves." I remember hearing, "President Clinton, not as Clinton", President Bush, not as Bush", President George Bush, not as Bush" but now you hear the President as "Obama", "He", "Barack", and it goes on. My Black People, "They're touching our nerves!"
When Brotha' Martin's situation happened, what did they do? It was pushed under the rug. Since the police didn't properly handle the situation, do you know what that is? "They're touching your nerves under the cover." See my Black People, that is something that get's us angry and some people will just pull their stops and take care of situations in the wrong fashion which will line them up with a life sentence x 12. Right now, the riots are because 'they're touching our skin'. But we're handling it in a mature and proper manner. So we're taking care of their bite before it gets infected and into our nerves. If we let it get to us they'll respond, "That's another down."
Our employment % stay's down. "What is that?" You may not see A LOT of lynching, but without employing us that is a way they're "Touch your nerves under the cover!" Situations like this cause depression, suicide or even physical force towards other that can cause death. "They're touching your nerves under the cover."
Illustration: Black man was a great man, Christ-like, greatest husband and father who has NEVER seen a jail ceil or the back seat of a police car. If he gets popped for doing dope, that's 10 to life. Same man different color (white) gets popped on the hand with 2-4 years. "That's another one down."
"They're touching our nerves."
You don't see the media push the situation of a missing Black child! "They're touching our nerves!"
Now if Brotha' Martins situation doesn't open the White Man's eyes we'll have to leave it up to the Man. "You keep trying to touch my nerves and 99% of the time you do. "But you will NEVER spit upon my blood. I will not bow down before no man.
My Love, Honor and Respect to my People and to the Most High "Black Jesus" . . . .and I'm off the mic. . . .
