You vs. you
“Am I a coward cause I chose to retreat instead of retweet ?”
I’ll be honest , I don’t have much of a clue as to what’s going on . I’ve gotten bits & pieces , here & there .
I haven’t been very active in the media , it’s all so overwhelming & some how in the midst of that , I feel somewhat guilty .
Should I be outraged ? Should I be angry ?
Scrolling down my timeline , I see my peers posting their strong opinions & they are PISSED . I just feel sadness , no anger , just sadness . I want to cry, not riot .
This shit is heavy . Am I a coward cause I chose to retreat instead of retweet ?
All my life , I never felt black enough . Not native enough . Not white enough . I had no sense of belonging until I realized that the only race I belonged to was the human one . So please fucking forgive me for not picking sides . I hate to see my people at war .
I know my place & it is not on the front lines . I feel for my people . I cry for my people . I pray for my people . That is where I stand .
The war that we are fighting is not whites against blacks , but fear against love . And until we realize they both are rooted in the same place , the fight will never end .
Do you guys really want peace ? Do you want justice ? The fight starts with you .
You don’t fight fire with fire & until we realize that we are all the fucking problem, there will never be peace. It will always be you vs me . Us vs them. Republican vs Democrat. Police vs Civilian. Black vs White.
YOU vs YOU .
Open your eyes . Open your mind . And Open your heart.
Pray for your neighbor . Be the change that you want to see .
