Quote:We are definitely on a downward spiral as a country but i could never hate people the way some do.  As far as the new social media killings, that has been going on for decades; but thanks to technology now, even minorities and poor people in America can record and stream video to the world so it's a big deal.  Nothing new to us except footage to see.  Americans have needed alot of change in this country, but being African American, your raised on change but for a different reason.  I was raised to be successful so that my own race of people after me could have better opportunities  That may sound like something everyone can relate too, but this is for a minority race still fighting for equality and thinking money and power will make more of a difference for your families future than any march, vote, or rally would ever do.  Everyone has rights, but as a black man, voting is just something i do to add my 2 cents but my #1 focus is Money.  I've always been profiled, treated racist(verbally or by actions, but not by everyone), and even had to deal with it at work from peers, superiors, customers, etc., and still i just mush on.  Owning a home and land is what matters to me during this lifetime in America.  My kids are my future and little has changed in my 30 years of living as far as my racial treatment is concerned, so getting my family out of the "HOOD" is what will make me the biggest difference on my life and for my families future.  

 

Some of you may be worried about martial law and losing rights but I've felt that way all my life from just being black so if this just means that everyone will be in the same boat then idk.  If this means that, the hell most minorities live in and stay in their entire life will still be hell BUT we just wont have anywhere to live, thennnnnnnnnnnnnn you've got my attention.
