#BLACKLIVESMATTER

black people.
we are born, raised and we die being black.
we are a community.
our roots represent who we are, and let me tell you this:
there is more to us than just the color of our skin.
there is more to us than the texture of our hair.
there is more to us than Savannah's and tribes.
there is more to us than "rap music" and gangsters.
there is more to us than not wetting our hair.
there is more to us than Kisha and Laquisha.
there is more to us than the ghetto and drugs.
there is more to us than baby mommas and sugar daddies.
there is more to us than just fried chicken.
for hundreds of years we have been treated like lesser because and exclusively of the fact that we are black, therefore inferior to white people,
therefore dumber than the latter,
therefore petty.
for hundreds of years we have been victims of slavery, racism, inequality and the one moment we open up to complain that black lives matter too we are backfired with "all lives matter"
we are backfired with "stop complaining, at least you're alive" or "he was acting like a thug he was asking for it"
in what world is that a normal thing to be said, fuck it it's not even a thing to be thought of.
since when is an entire race complaining and standing up to racism less important than your father coming late from work,
since when it is less important than your broken nail, or the acne on your skin.
do you really think people care about the acne on your skin when BLACKS are being gunned down on the streets whether it's in broad daylight or in front of our children, we are being slaughtered.
since when is our hair a play toy or a weave?
since when is your pets life more important than ours.
how come a shooting in France is labeled as "more important" or "has more impact" when the same thing happens in Kenya twice more frequently.
since when is putting a limit on how many black friends you have so you're not considered a racist a moral thing to do.
who told you all black people look alike?
who said all blacks know one another?
who said we all have "ratchet" names?
why is it you create the term "black on black violence" to justify or to try lessen the immorality of what you are doing?
why is it you get better jobs?
better education?
why are we automatically linked with the hood and labeled and hood rats, ratchets, thugs, dealers, addicts, low lives?  
history is repeating itself and we are being denied of our right to change such thing.
for hundreds of years we have fought for the little freedom and little rights and equality we have to just see it be taken from us by people who only think as big as their bellybuttons go.
how many more of us have to die for you to pay attention?
how many more of us have to die for you to listen?
how many more for you to care?
how many for you to help make a change?
is this really how we want our children to be raised? in this society of false justice and white supremacy, which by the way is a real thing and a very aggravating concept for that matter.
the police isn't the law.
the police isn't above the law.
neither is your white neighbor or your white co-workers or your white boss.
and "self-defense" isn't an excuse anymore.
let's put a stop to this and let our voices be heard:
- "don't touch my hair"
- "my name isn't Watermelondrea"
- "I'm not from 'the hood'"
- "you can't say 'nigga' unless you're black"
- "I don't eat fried chicken everyday"
- "are you surprised I'm not ratchet?"
- "is it shocking that I am intelligent?"
we got people dying in the past and people dying in the present, unnecessarily.
we are seen, structured and projected as stereotypes, most of which weren't created by us.
this absurdity has to be put to an end and only then will change be seen because
ALL LIVES WILL MATTER WHEN BLACK LIVES MATTER
