I feel ya.
We've been marching forever. Little has changed.
As much as I believe in this generation and the next, this whole thing has made me question the future of black America. Nevertheless the future of America.
Seeing all of the whites and outsiders show more support seems to of hoodwinked people to think this is an everybody issue. Black America always needed to sort out it's own problems amongst itself. Racism isn't our problem. It's always been their's. We didn't create this system that kills and oppresses us...they did. Unless they intend on crippling it or fixing it for us to endure less of the bullshyt...what is the point of them even marching?
Our history in this country is based on asking the same hangman that has his noose around our necks to loosen it and they do but then tighten it up at a moment's notice.
We'll still be marching 50 years from now at this point.
Sometimes I think this generation of black people don't want equality, or justice, or any sort of positive powerful direction for the future...they just want to be accepted by whites and other races instead of focusing on rebuilding the black community in America.
These protests make me realize how many of us are still looking at non-blacks like deer in the headlights. We're so eager to be accepted in this country after so many years of supression, oppression, and agression at the hands of others...that we're willing to still forgive the people have dealt it out to us for ages.
This is no way I want to live. My nightmare is that this is going to continue to happen for as long as we're here until we're all dead.
At the end of the day, these outsiders don't care about us. Give it some time and we'll be in the way of their deck new apartment in hot "up and coming" Crown Heights (soon to be known as East Park Slope/South Prospect Heights) and they'll go back to hating us when we're not entertaining them or shooting a touchdown.
You described my sentiments exactly breh. America has psychologically fukking destroyed us man.
