Do not to get on the bus of police brutality. Do not to get on the bus of self-pity or self-hate. Don’t get on the bus or put somebody in office just because… and for goodness sake DO NOT GET ON THE BUS OF FEAR!!!
OUR RECOMMENDED CHOICES FOR THIS ELECTION
No matter how ugly things look and how drastic news reports fill the media, the outcome has yet to be known by us.
I don’t know about you but I’ll be damned if I go down without making my voice heard through my ballot. That does not mean I am voting all democratic. What it does mean is that I am voting for those who believe in making sure that ALL people have access that fit their circumstances to getting their human rights met by any means necessary. If you are not a part of this movement and all you think that you can do is complain, b*tch, and moan then please, “STFU AND VOTE!!!”
Democracy or Death
Never the less, the dreadful and disheartening effects of the pandemic, police killings and the total disregard from the Trump administration towards Black, brown and poor people, we are not totally isolated to the consequences; believe it or not it will soon show results on all of us.
It is a very sad and disappointing day when Black people fail at an opportunity to make a difference in the political make-up of any given arena, especially when afforded the privilege to change it by voting and having your votes counted.
And to those politicians who made statements and promises and didn’t fulfill them, YOU KNOW.
I want to make something perfectly clear: there is life after politics.
