How WE die - a repost.




i thought that it was fitting for the current state of america.

by the barrel of the guns of the police
by the policies of their president
by the hands of our own people 

by the limitations of the education system 
by the injustices of the justice system 
by the bars of our jail cells 

by the tears of our parents, of our ancestors 
by the sadness of our parents when we get stuck in the hood
by the words, you spit at us
-
but this is not how we die 
not in front of our unseeded/seeded dreams 
not in front of our unborn/born children 
not in front of our mothers and fathers

your racist trauma is how we survive 

we are a people 




a whole muthafuckin race




How did the 'Blackout Tuesday' social media initiative come about ...
