Anthem

I’m sick and tired of people thinking that kneeling during our National Anthem is disrespecting our country. They are people with influence and fame trying to bring awareness about the injustice against African Americans being mistreated and killed by law enforcement officials. Just because you have never experienced this doesn’t mean you get to ignore the issue or act like it doesn’t happen or matter. Of course it matters and it does exist. I’m a white female married to an African American man. I’m worried for his safety and also for our children. We have experienced prejudice against us on a daily basis especially with living in the south even though neither of us were born here. It’s almost a daily occurrence. Of course it’s nothing compared to my husbands own experiences or ancestors. We need to stop turning a blind eye and acknowledge it does exist and we do care that it’s happening. Police officers aren’t even remotely properly trained to handle any situation in which they are placed on a daily basis. They don’t know how to handle situations with individuals with MENTAL HEALTH, DISABILITY, or AFRICAN AMERICANS and we are putting a gun in their hands. Wake up America how does this make sense? I’m sick and tired of people loosing their lives to these circumstances. Please continue to stand together and bring awareness like these NFL teams continue to do.

Stop senseless killings

Another day another disappointment in humanity. People don’t seem to comprehend the meaning behind the kneeling. After all how could most since they have never endeared that kind of mistreatment. Those are the people who now more than ever need to acknowledge its a real problem and needs to change.

Here’s something good: Dave Matthews Band is hosting a benefit concert in response to last month’s incidents of violence in their hometown of Charlottesville, and they’re streaming the whole thing live on Tumblr. Specifically at musicandunity.tumblr.com, this Sunday, September 24th, at 6 p.m. Eastern. Just like the graphic above says. See? ☝️

You’ll also notice that there are bunch of other great acts on the bill, including:

Pharrell Williams • Justin Timberlake Chris Stapleton • Ariana Grande • The Roots Brittany Howard • Cage the Elephant • and more!

Like we said, it’s a fundraiser, and you’re encouraged to donate to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation. They’ll be helping out victims of the events of August 11 and 12 and their families, first responders, and organizations devoted to the promotion of healing, unity and justice in the Charlottesville community and nationally.

A good show, a great cause. See you there.

It's great to see that they are still focused on this even though unimaginable circumstances occurred there. And will continue to happen unless we continue to stand up for what is the right thing to do against this evil entity allows to be acknowledged by none other than the person holding the highest office in our land. Absolutely disgusting and applauded by the things that think they are superior in anyway. Look around you are the unsuperior and never will prevail.

Anything Goes

What has happened to America? I remember a simpler time before reality t.v. and music actually made sense. How did we get here? Where have we as humans gone so wrong?
