" BLACK LIVES MATTER "

Black lives matter but to who ? See because more blacks die from the hands of blacks then whites to tell the truth, so black lives matters but to who? See maybe the white man care more than we do they care enough to get us off the streets out of fear of who we may be but the blacks they don't even stop to think they don't care that they're taking a Father from a son , or leaving a mother to bury her only one, the white man kill us on purpose cause they know in doing so they are killing our purpose, leaving many hopeless, as another lye dying in the streets DNA stain the concrete the faster the better it's all apart of the system now that's RAS-ISM ( Race System ). Black lives matter but to who? Blacks kill blacks and they think it's a joke the evidence in a Facebook post , the killer pose burner and the guap from the body on the block, and we talk about it like it's regular talk, a couple of post read so sad rip, then it's back to what's on tv, or what your about to do. Black lives matter but to who? Do we care like we think we do? Like we want the white man to ? You know to be seen as equal to be treated fare and just. A black man will kill a black man cause he's a black man so maybe the white man do care just like we do I mean BLACK LIVES MATTER BUT TO WHO ?

For over 100 years now,starting with Sigmund, we as a society have tried to define, measure and remedy what ails us. Simply, I believe that the answer is that we are selfish. We don't look beyond ourselves unless a mirrored image presents us with our own reality.
What needs to happen...absolutely and with outmost necessity, is looking in the mirror and taking responsibility.

Responsibility, Responsibility and Responsibility.

I am pissed that the slogan "Black Lives Matter" is something that has to be said.

But it does! and thats when I lose faith that we stand a chance at all.

That's exactly what my expectations are that one would read this and do just that TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
