Black life today means less than when we were slaves. Now that we're "free," we hold less value to caucasians, seeing as how they don't own our very lives anymore. So a black life owned by a black person is worthless. Time and time again, caucasians' and their corrupt system show and prove to us that our lives mean nothing. We live in a society where you will get more time for dog-fighting (Michael Vick) than you'll get for the unprovoked, unjustified MURDER of a young, black male.
Caucasians love their animals, but they hate us niggas.
We live in a society where black people get more time for non-violent crimes than caucasians will get for violent crimes! We live in a society where a black and a caucasian can get arrested for the same crime, but the black person will do a longer sentence (if the caucasian does time AT ALL). We live in a society in which a caucasian girl that goes missing gets national coverage, yet the black got who went missing at the same time, got NO coverage (and was found dead). Today's society is no different than that preceding and during the "Civil Rights era."
Never forget that being black/brown is a crime punishable by death, here in the wilderness of North AmeriKKKa.
We live in a society that will allow a caucasian to go free, after that caucasian is VIDEOTAPED unlawfully MURDERING an innocent, unarmed, held down black man in his back. Black life means nothing to these people.
We are harassed, dragged, raped, threatened, brutalized and murdered by these "people," yet you defend them. You throw yourself in front of them to defend them, and as your back is to them, they stab you in it... Repeatedly.
Time and time again, they take our lives and we do nothing. Black life means NOTHING to caucasians... But as little as it means to them, how much can it possibly mean to us, when we sit by and allow such tragedies to take place?
We are the facilitators of our own demise. We are the facilitators of our own genocide.
More to come.

QUESTION:
= Crispus Attucks was THE FIRST person to die in the American Revolutionary War. Do you, or does anybody feel he died b/c
A: He was in the wrong place at the wrong time
B: He jumped in front of that bullet to save his master son who he was in downtown boston with in the first place
OR
C: Jump in front of that bullet because he saw it as a way out, of slavery I mean.
I just would like to hear an Opinion because in the Blog above it mention "We are harassed, dragged, raped, threatened, brutalized and murdered by these "people," yet you defend them. You throw yourself in front of them to defend them, and as your back is to them, they stab you in it... Repeatedly."
When this topic was first introduced to me in school it was presented as he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, later I found out he was saving the young boy bc in fact Attucks was indeed a "House Nigger" and thought he was helping out the team, then I attended class at an HBCU and the pointed out the fact this may have been any of those first two options BUT, If you were being bebat everyday and treated like shit would you rather die then to be barely living?
Thank you.
