Fighting fire with fire only causes a bigger fire.

We have to learn to do better because it’s evident over how many ever years, the language of the unheard has deafened the ears of those we are fighting, to what our voices are tying to communicate.
We must be better than them.
The frustration is evident and emotions are high, we are angry, but in no circumstances has a violent reaction been a healer of the wounds caused by pain and trauma. NEVER! In the history of time violence has only mainly led to more war and divide of our human race.
It’s led to more lives being damaged, mentally, physically and emotionally.
We are the new generation, we are the generation who have the access to attack and defeat Racism with a different weapon.
Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Bayard Rustin, James Farmer, Hosea Williams, Whitney Young JR, Roy Wilkins, Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah and too many more to mention, showed us it can be done and with the lack of resources they possessed.
We are the Generation they fought for. We are the Generation that have the resources to see all and unite worldwide to bring a stop to racism at its core, but violence isn’t it. We are a lot more fortunate than any other generation before us.
Let’s use our smart and resources differently, because if war is declared on my BLACK people, no matter how wrong and unjustified, we will get slaughtered and then who will be here to stand and fight for the real change we so have been wanting to achieve for us and those to come
The riots ain’t working, they have never worked, but remember peace is found in Love, as Hendrix once put it “When the power of Love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” .

Let’s be smart please and not put anymore innocent BLACK lives in harms way.
Let’s plan, let’s unite, let’s work out real legislations, let’s find our next young BLACK politicians and let’s find a better way to bring change.
Riots are the language of the unheard, but the unheard react with heightened emotion and no strategy.
Let’s strategise the movement and work to become the leaders we want to see at the helm who we need to be in positions of power to really be the change and the voice that the unheard need to see and need to hear.
Convictions are all well and good, but that will not change the blight us BLACK people face day to day across the world!
I want to see this change, but the vision is blurred by our angered tears, understandably, but we can do better.
Calm and precision in a time of turmoil will see the vision executed with a level of intent that can not be ignored.
We are in the boxing ring, we are standing on the frontline, let’s not loose composure any more, let’s really get it together and move with plan and purpose before we lose out again for a chance to see real lifetime change. 🙏🏾
