I have a black friend that I met a while back. He's a community activist, and wrote this poem : Welcome to our lives. The streets have witnessed war. SWAT teams at young man's door, screaming "get on the floor". The reason for such actions were being caught on camera stealing milk from the corner store.
I invite the world to observe our lives through our doors. I could wager that you couldn't survive in these sub-slandered conditions. We're a product of the oppressors plan and economics; and you ask why we aren't afraid to provide for ourselves with violence?
We have nothing to lose and nothing to gain. Stagnant growth is offered to our minorities youth today.
Schools here don't have modern equipment, but we can purchase 100 million dollar modern fighter war planes. The crime rate has only the system itself to blame.
Welcome to our lives, where the men of color are enslaved. In the 21st century it's not constraint by whips and chains, rather, by depriving us the knowledge to self-liberate.
