Mr. Officer

Officer, Mr. Officer Why you kill our fathers for?

Mr. Officer, Mr. Officer Why you kill our mothers for?

You took our brothers, our sisters, sons and daughters too

No more blood or tears shed, no more funerals

Officer, me say officer!  Have mercy on your soul, cuz we won’t for you!

Somebody Stole My Shit

When black people misplace

things, the first thing they

shout is, ‘somebody done

stole my shit!

Flipping over furniture, pointing

fingers, fussin’ and cussin’ til

they finally find the item

Why is it that when we black

folks misplace something,

we naturally think someone

stole it?

Is it misguided? Maybe, but

it’s not entirely wrong

After all, we were stolen from

our mother continent and stolen

from our families

They stole our history, then

rewrote it, stole our music,

and sense of fashion

They stole our culture and turn

it into trends and “edgy fads”

They steal resources from Africa,

hell, they steal our organs too

So, when black people yell,

‘somebody stole my shit’,

they ain’t wrong

Because the world stole our shit

for centuries, and continue to

steal our shit

Update

The city of Newark is hosting MTV'S Video Music Awards. The VMAs will this Monday, August 26th. That is the same day that several organizations based out of Newark will be holding a rally to bring attention to the current water crisis that is happening. They've been tagging numerous celebrities on IG who will be at the VMAs to help spread more awareness about it

The residents of Newark shouldn't have to fight for access to something that is essential for human survival. That's why we're going to make sure we're they hear us and see us.

My sister's anti-blackness pisses me off. She'll pay give extra money to Korean people for her nails and Dominican barbers for her son's haircut, but don't want to go to black people because 'they have nasty attitudes and put spots in her sons' heads' I hate the way she projects her anti-blackness onto her sons and daughter. I hate the way she denies that her daughter is dark-skinned and/or emphasizes her being Haitian, and I hate that she calls my nephew yellow, when he is brown-skinned. Can't tell her shit, she too lazy and stupid to think for herself.

You don't want to be black that's fine, but don't project your ignorant way of thinking onto my niece and nephews. Don't condition my niece to hate her dark skin or my nephews to hate their 4C hair. You don't want to support your own people, but you'll support businesses from people who hate your stupid ass and take your money.

She my sister and I love her but she's a fucking moron.

School is back, yippee! *sarcasm* This is my second to last semester before I graduate in May. So, far the classes are challenging af, but fucking lit! I'm taking this semester seriously, I don't want a repeat of last fall, where I barely kept up with homework, I've got do better with managing the ADHD. I've cleared my schedule so I can focus on my studies. I tried balancing too many things last year and the stress exacerbated my symptoms. But anyway, I'm not living up to anybody else's expectations except my own. Fuck everyone else, y'know?

I had so much to say, but now I'm losing interest in posting..maybe I'll reblog
