Prophecy fulfilled.
Black lives matter …
Duh?
Why state the obvious?
We have built this country’s very foundation,
Blessed it with soul, music, art, innovation, strength, knowledge,
Literally our very breasts nursed their crying babies, our hands prepared their meals, picked their cotton …
And in 2017 the descendants of slaves, freedom fighters, Black Panthers, and children of promise are still yelling this fact in Oakland’s streets and streets nationwide.
Why continue to fight with our natural hands? Tired hands?
Just to make the blind see the undeniable truth?
You can’t make anyone who refuses to see you.
This inability of sight is not God-given, but man Chosen.
That choice is one that no man can stop; God himself must change those evil hearts.
Look in the mirror. Remind yourself that in this evil environment, your life matters.
Why would anyone hate you simply based on the color of your skin? There must be some supernatural type of power locked up inside it.
No, we can’t cure their hate; it was never our assignment to try.
Our job is simple.
Shine and fly high.
