America can continue to lace injustice with fancy words & sympathetic speeches.
Black people have known America’s justice system to be a lair from inception.
We know injustice when we see it. We ain’t stupid.
Kentucky & this nation have denied #BreonnaTaylor justice.
You can dress it in Black skin, with a degree, & a suit. Or you can put a hood on & burn a cross. Black people know America all too well.
Any system that allowed the slavery of other humans to exist is corrupted from the start. The founders built a nation to protect them.
It must be our dedication as Black people to never relent in our pursuit of a more just America.
We didn’t pick America, they picked us.
Therefore we have a right to fight. For #BreonnaTaylor and the countless others unjustly killed by the government.
While some will lean to despair, and hopelessness. It is in our fight that we have always achieved our greatest success as a people.
Every time America finds a way to try and deny us, we dig a little deeper into who we are and plot a path toward justice & liberation.
Know who & what your enemy is, call it what it is, & then defeat it.
Our enemy is injustice, racism, sexism, inequity, & hatred.
We defeat it, with hope, determination, righteous indignation, strategy, intellect, and courage.
May the ancestors stand in us at this hour.
As it was with those who came before us, our cause is just. Our fight is a righteous one. We will not be turned back, and we will move our people forward.
The generations to come will reap a harvest from our labor of love for our people. #KeepPushing #LetsGoHigher
