Could YOU touch the sky without hands? Really? This Outlier did just that:
Do MORE choices make life BETTER or WORSE?
We all value our freedom of choice and boy do we have a LOT of them. But, with so many different choices on the market all the time, it's makes it a little more difficult to make decisions; it also puts the blame on ourselves if we don't find perfection. Barry Schwartz talks about this Paradox and gives some creative insight.
.::We are the Facilitators::.
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.
