But there's only one differences. The law cares more about putting black men behind bars for murder over anybody else in this country and that is what really pisses me off the worse. With us in Oakland its like killing 2 birds with one stone. One dies and the other gose to prison for murder and now two black men gone for life without no help from the government for our genocide. We killing each other because of self hate. Since we been in this country we been being murdered in large amounts to the point that now we kill our selves because we been tought to from birth. Where do you think this gangsta shit come from? Not us. We are imitating our opressors. Thats why we see so many thugs and uncle toms. We came from Kings and Queens. Most African Americans don't even know that. All they know is slaves so a lot of us except being slaves.(a real nigga). I agree that we need to start taking the same actions for murders done by our own but we are not the only race in america that kills there selves. We are just the ones that nobody cares about when happens to. They don't care about us dying. They just love seeing us behind bars. Why u think we flooded with drugs and guns. It was all planned and niggas are too stupid to realize. And soon as we leave our hood they do us like Young Travon. These laws were not made to pretect us but they are made to trap us. It seems like everything we value takes chances of us gettin locked up or gettin killed over. I see little kids all the time learnin these things from early ages and willing to fight u to pretect their ignorance. Why are we being tought death from birth as black men? And we livin in the same country that gose,over to other countries and dose the same thing bullying and killing people and creating genocide.Scid Howard IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519650970827275647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-2582799359895149022012-03-21T15:04:40.954-05:002012-03-21T15:04:40.954-05:00Thank you for the post, Smartypants.
