Every week and or month since 2012 there has been a news report about a young black male or African American's in general being killed. The day George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Trayvon Martin case, I cired. I cried as if Trayvon was my child my heart hurt for his parents; for they had to try and go on with the rest of their lives knowing that there wouldn't be justice for their son. Why Lord ?
A few weeks ago young black and white children were trying to come together to have a good time at a swim party. But that was an Epic Fail because a few ignorant adults felt that there were too many black faces in their community. Yet, to my understanding a lot of the black youth attending the swim party lived in that very community however, they were too BLACK to swim in the community pool. As result young black children were slapped, handcuffed, and manhandled like cattle. Well wait "they" treat cattle better than they treated those poor childern. Now let me say something, I did not like seeing a few of the black young ladies talk back to the officers. If an authority figure (POLICE OFFICER) has asked , requested or even demanded that you walk away and go home; please do so because you have been just given an out. Now what truly broke my heart was seeing the fear and confusion on the young black boys faces as "SUPERCOP" yelled and cursed at them. Once again all I saw was my son being frighten & fearing for his life. Now, by the grace of God no one died doing this event due to the quick thinking of "SUPERCOPS" co-workers , but you better belive lives were changed on that day.
Now just a few days ago I wake up to all news outlets reporting of a Mass shooting at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina . Seriously, when I first heard the report it made me sick to my stomach only a cold blooded killer could walk in a church, ask for the pastor, sit for a hour during their bible study and pray service, then open fire on a sanctuary full of worshiper's. Two things hurt me to the core about this, first this person put it in his head that it was his duty to kill all the blacks becasue their raping their (white) women and trying to take over the country. Secondly, he chose to do this evil, sick and unthinkable act at a church. A safe place for the weak and weary, a safe haven for the hurt and lost, a safeplace for those who need peace courage and understanding. He took a sacred place and made it a crime scene. Then, once captured and confessing to the authorities his actions he states "I almost didn't go through with it, because everyone was so nice" You Evil Coward !!!!!!! God was giving you an out! But you chose to do evil you chose to take Innocent lives, so guess what only God himself can and will have mercy on your soul. I pray you are convicted swiftly and given the punishment you so rightly deserve.
I know deep in my heart that it's going to get worse before it gets better. I wish I could live in a world were I was judged by the content of my character and not the color of my skin, but I really dont see that coming anytime soon. All I can do is try my best to live right, teach my child how to be a good person and to treat everybody right. We have got to learn how to live together, no race is better than the other. Killing people just because of the color of their skin is ignorant and wrong. We have got to learn how to co-exisit with each other before God comes and wipes us all out.
May God be with us all as we try to be a better people.
Many Blessings,
The Exquisite Mommy
