I wasn't sure where to start with this. But I'ma speak my truth.
2020 has been a year that has revealed so much truth that as heartbreaking and sad as it's been, there's a huge meaning and lesson. If you haven't noticed I'ma break it down for you.
I am understanding the message/lessons from the deaths of our brothers and sisters. I know many of you are reading this and thinking this is just another angry post; but it's so much more and I hope you give it a chance and understand.
Each time a death has occurred of one of my sisters or brothers, no matter if their blood or not, I FELT IT! And it hurts!! To know so many died for no other reason than the color of their skin and because their being seen less of as another human HURTS worst than losing a love one of natural causes.
My heart cried for each and every family who had to experience this first hand. And as much as it hurts, God used them to show us how things still haven't changed. It's only been oppressed and concealed from our eyes for so long. It's because every time something like this happened we did take a stand and marched and raised our voices. But we fault in a way. We kept letting them change only little things and we're some what okay with that.
But it was never enough to make them truly understand. It just made them feel like that's all they needed to do. To let us protest for a period of time then use armed forces to make things calm down until something causes the stir up again. But it's really time for this to end. Because I'm not just speaking about black lives. I'm also talk to my LGBT community, Hispanics, Indians, ect. I'm not excluding my white people who is supporting us 100%, your included.
I know your tired of having to keep your heads down to make it in life. Tired of having to coach your kids to be safe from those trying to keep them in a place of low life.
Of having to explain why those that are ignorant to the truth of life don't like them because of their skin and looks, or where they come from. It should never have to be like this and never should have started.
Why should any of us have to fight for our natural born rights to one group of one-minded people, who can't even give a legit answer of why they feel the way they do about us.
How many times will we have to repeat a cycle until it's to late?
I've been suppressing these words I'm writing for so long until I just can't anymore. God won't let me and I understand why.
I can't tell you how many times I broke down from hearing about these deaths, harassments, and bullying going on in this world because I also feel it happening. And all because one group of people who's trying to stay at the head of the table by keeping the rest of us quite. Having us hide who we are and know what we're meant to be.
Skin shaming, body shaming, culture shaming, LGBT shaming and all because of some stereotyping. Which is really nothing more but opinions that were made to hurt others.
This is not the world I want these new generations to have to also fight in for their born rights. I don't want my kids or nieces and nephews to have to experience this feeling that I am. My generation has to go through this hundreds of years later and it's just sad.
It's really time to stop suppressing our voices. All of us! Because those same racists are serious and their back to showing how serious they are. I'm writing this message to let you know that no matter who you are or what you have been through you are more than what they tell you. you're here for a reason no matter how big or small that reason is.
Speak your story! Tell everyone so they can know it's perfectly fine to be who you are. Show your true self so your uniqueness shines. Support each other and be ready for whatever comes next. Because we're all human at the end of the day, and we will all leave this place one day so why not fulfill your life the way YOU want to?
And call out the ones who's being hateful. Make them feel wrong for being negative towards you or anyone who's trying to be themselves.
We're all in this together so keep fighting for another day!
