I’m seriously at a damn crossroads with this shit. Every time something doesnt go your fucking way you want to burn shit down and fuck up lives of people that live next door to you. What fucking sense does that make?

Really, instead of taking your protest to city hall or the police station and do an “occupy”, you decide to burn up your own neighborhood. Then wonder why people don’t have respect or care about what’s going on in your area!! Ding, Ding, Fucking Ding, the reason is right on tv in front of you.

Nobody wants to deal with people that will intentionally burn their own family out of their business and homes, and not think twice about it. You want to compare this to the Civil Rights Movement, how dare you even think of mentioning this Neanderthalism (yes, I made that word up, don’t give a fuck either), in the same breath as a movement that actually changed the fortunes of a people.
You say “well things haven’t gotten any better”, oh they haven’t, ask your parents and grandparents if things haven’t gotten better.

Dr King was shot dead for fighting for what he believed in, and it was for equality of all persons. You fuck heads are not fighting for that, you’re rioting because it’s now become the cool thing to do.

I say a reporter on CNN reporting about the riot, and over his left shoulder to the right for us watching, I see this cat trying to sell his mixtape. For real son, this is the time you choose to sell your damn mixtape.

People always get this quote from Malcolm X fucked up, when he says “By any means necessary”, people literally took that to mean well if we have to use violence to effect change then that’s what we’ll do. I have yet to ever see persons of color win shit by being violent.

Now gangs in Baltimore are talking about combining forces to take out law enforcement, these are the same entities that probably kill 4x as many innocents as an officer of the law does in several years on the job.

So after the gangs “become the law”, do you expect things to get better or worse, I’m just wondering so that when the gang members start telling citizens to stay off my block and pay up for protection, whom will people turn to.

It’s an outrage for people to try and justify this senseless act of aggression and defiance, then when you ask, “why loot and burn your own community”, the reply is some antiquated “Four Score and Seven years ago answer”, I don’t want to hear that shit, I want to know what you plan on doing today to fix what’s going on now.

Do you plan to have a caucus to discuss ways to solve the issues between the citizens of color and law enforcement? Do you plan to talk things out and get to the root cause of the issue?

Do you even want to do this, or just continue to burn shit up at every turn until there is nothing left to burn. You burned Ferguson, yet nothing changed, you burned Baltimore, and no progress has been made.

Where the fuck will you burn next, because this situation will happen again, why because we have yet to address the elephant in the room, which is

“You burned the block up….. Now what”.
