NOPE, NOT THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY BUT THE BLACK PEOPLE PRIORITY AND IT SHOULD BE, THE HEALTH, WEALTH, EDUCATION AND COVERING OF OUR BLACK CHILDREN.
AS A BLACK TEACHER WHOS PUT BLACK PEOPLE PRIORITY TOP ON MY TO DO LIST, I KNOW IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNTEACH, TEACH AND RETEACH THE VALUES, MORALS, GOALS, ASPIRATIONS, AND VISIONS OF OUR ANCESTORS INSIDE OF OUR CHILDREN.
WE ARE NOT VIOLENT
WE ARE NOT IGNORANT
WE ARE NOT DISCOMPASSIONED
WE ARE NOT IMMORAL
WE ARE NOT UNETHICAL
WE ARE NOT ANY OF THE THINGS WE ARE SEENING, HEARING AND FEELING TODAY FROM OUR CHILDREN
WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS MANAGE TO ALLOW THE ENEMY TO INFILTRATE OUR HOMES AND SCHOOLS AND DICTATE WHAT WE CAN DO, HOW WE CAN RAISE THEM AND IN WHAT MANNER THEY SHOULD DEMONIZE THEIR ELDERS, SENIORS AND ANCESTORS.
SINCE MICHAEL BROWN, (GOING ON YEAR 8), I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN MARCHES, SIT INS, TEACH INS, CALL INS, CALL OUTS, SPOKE ON SMALL AND BIG STAGES AND PLATFORMS AND TO NO AVAIL, IT SEEMS THAT THEY WERE ALL FOR NAUGHT BUT I DARE NOT BELIEVE THAT.
THEY SAY RADICAL, DRASTIC, AND MILITANCE FOR CHANGE TO OCCUR AND THEN EVER SO SHEEPISHLY, I ALSO HERE WORDS LIKE TIME AND PRICES……..STILL?
BLACK PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER, PRIVILEGE AND PURPOSE KNOWINGLY FAIL US AND OURS
WE ACT LIKE WE SHOULD NOT BE ADVOCATING FOR OUR FUTURE, THE HELPELESS AND THE YOUNG, BUT WE DO.
