BLACK LIVES DON'T MATTER!

BUT THEN NEITHER DOES EVERYONE ELSE’S. WHITE PEOPLE, MEXICAN PEOPLE, ASIAN PEOPLE HAVE ALL BEEN EXECUTED BY COPS.   WE ARE TALKING UNARMED CITIZENS. WE ARE TALKING  SHOT, KILLED, BEATEN TO DEATH.  SO TAKE ONE MINUTE AND READ THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SPOKEN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT.

IF YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. IF YOU READ A BIBLE WHERE ALL MEN MATTER, THEN BLATANT AND CALLOUS DISREGARD OF THOSE  GOD GIVEN RULES OR CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATES  SHOULD BE AFRONT TO ALL INTELLIGENT, HONEST, AND HARD WORKING PEOPLE.  FOR TO CHANGE THE WRONG INTO RIGHT, TO STAND IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION AND TYRANY, TO TURN UNFAIR INTO FAIR IS NOT A PERSONAL CHOICE BECAUSE IT IS EXPECTED  BY GOD AND BY OUR FORFATHERS THAT WE NOT IGNORE WRONG AND THAT WE EMBRACE AND SUPPORT THAT WHICH IS RIGHT! OF COURSE IT IS TRUE! PREJUDICE AT ANY LEVEL IS HURTFUL AND DIVISIVE,  BUT WE MUST ALL REMEMBER, YOU CANNOT FIGHT RACISM WITH RACISM, YOU CANNOT FIGHT SEXISM WITH  SEXISM, YOU CANNOT FIGHT HATE WITH HATE  HISTORY REMINDS US OF THESE BASIC FACTS TIME AND TIME AGAIN. LESSONS,  WHICH ALL TOO OFTEN ARE LESSONS WE HAVE FAILED  TO LEARN.  SO PLEASE! REMEMBER! WHITE PEOPLE KILL WHITE PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE KILL BLACK PEOPLE, AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN A FREE COUNTRY, YOUR VOICE SHOULD BE LOUD, IT SHOULD BE ANGRY, AND IT SHOULD BE CLEAR, BUT WHEN A BLACK MAN KILLS A WHITE MAN OR A WHITE MAN KILLS A BLACK MAN, OUR OUTRAGE AND OUR VOICES SHOULD NOT BECOME LOUDER AND MORE ANGRY.  OUR VOICES SHOULD BE THE SAME, AND OUR OUTRAGE SHOULD BE THE SAME, FOR ALL VIOLATIONS OF GOD’S LAWS AND OUR COUNTRY’S SUPREME LAW  THREATENS ALL MEN NOT JUST BLACK MEN.  WE MUST RESIST THE INFLUENCES OF EVIL YES.  BUT HATE BEGETS HATE. RACISM BEGETS RACISM AND THE ONLY WAY IMPLEMENT CHANGE THEN IS TO RETAIN OUR DIGNITY, TO RETAIN OUR HUMANITY, SO, SHOW YOUR PAIN OPENLY. EXPRESS IT WELL!  FOR IF WE FORGET ABOUT THE OTHERS WHO ARE ALSO VICTIMS OF DISCRIMINATION TOO,  WE FAIL TO ADDRESS THE BIGGER ISSUES AND WE BEGIN TO FIGHT THE WRONG FOE.  THEN WE FAIL TO UNITE ALL PEOPLE. WE FAIL TO EDUCATE OTHERS THAT THIS THREAT TO LIBERTY AND LIFE EXTENDS BEYOND THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. SO,  I ASK OF ALL MEN. WE MUST FIGHT HATE BY SHOWING OUR LOVE FOR “ALL” VICTIMS.  WE MUST FIGHT RACISM BY SHOWING WE ARE BETTER CHRISTIANS AND BETTER CITIZENS THAN THOSE WHO DISCRIMINATE.  OBVIOUSLY,  IT IS A FACT. IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE BILBLE.  WE CAN ONLY FIGHT HATE WITH LOVE!  LOOK AROUND AND SEE THAT FORGETTING THIS BASIC RULE, SABOTAGES OUR FUTURES, OUR REPUTATIONS, OUR DREAMS.  TOGETHER MANKIND CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS AND SLAY THE MOST TERRIBLE OF BEASTS. DIVIDED WE ARE NOTHING AND CAN ACCOMPLISH NOTHING.  SO THE NEXT TIME YOU FORET TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, THE NEXT TIME EVIL SLINGS STONES AND ARROWS INTO YOUR HEART, REMEMBER THAT WOMEN, HISPANICS,  AND ASIANS ARE SUFFERING THE SAME PAIN, THE SAME INDIGNATION THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING YOURSELF.  DEFEND THEM ALL EQUALLY AND THEY WILL DEFEND US ALL IN RETURN   FORGET ABOUT THEM AND THEY WILL FORGET ABOUT US.  RACISM ISN’T A BLACK ISSUE IT IS A HUMAN ISSUE AND LAST TIME I LOOKED WE ARE ALL HUMANS.
