Tha no indictment grand jury decision in Mike Brown Jr (Ferguson)….No indictment grand jury decision in Eric Garner (New York)….. Is merely tha most recent reminder of who I am, where I am, and what I am. Michael Brown, Eric Garner fate’s clearly informs me that I am a member of an endangered species as a Civilian in tha United States of America. We as people are beautiful, but it isn’t easy….. I am like Moses – but there is no Pharaoh for me to stand before and petition for freedom on tha behalf of people. Tha criminal justice system – carefully constructed for tha purpose of excommunication rather than rehabilitation – is our pharaoh. America’s educational system – within which our young peoples’ hopes and dreams are replaced by someone else’s low expectations for them and their future – is our pharaoh. American societal norms – which are so quick to judge a person by the color of his/her skin and so slow to remember that all men are created equal – is our pharaoh….I feel unwanted, unneeded, and mistrusted. I am a stranger in a strange land. I love America with every fiber of my being – but that love remains unrequited. No matter how educated, how well-dressed, or how compliant I am, my ability to survive an encounter with a law enforcement officer could depend largely on my size, my body language, and that officer’s threat assessment of people in general. In that moment, my being a member of tha media wouldn’t matter. My being a member of tha clergy wouldn’t matter. Who my parents are wouldn’t help me. I love everybody. And yet, I am surrounded by hatred and indifference. You would feel tha same way I feel if you were in my shoes. I am saddened, confused, and angered. For all my faith in God, I’m afraid that tha more things change, tha more they will stay tha same. Hearing tha outcome, I burst into tears these same people who came up with that there wasn’t enough evidence them to just go to trail are tha same people who are so call Godly. I had no idea why it happened, that is, until I began to write this column piece. People wake up please........…..#EricGarner #MikeBrown #TrayvonMartin all have in common is "No Justice" TURE....but it a much bigger picture then this if you look at it Trayvon Martin was done by a Civilian and even with that said he was indicted to tha point of a trial which had a Jury.......Now when it comes to FUCKIN Cops from Rodney King all tha way to Eric Garner tha outcome has always been tha same "No Indictment" which when to Riots.......#SMFH....And also people please understand Grand jury and Jury is two different thing A Grand Jury is when a jury, normally of twenty-three jurors, selected to examine the validity of an accusation Before Trial.....A Jury is when a body of people (typically twelve in number) sworn to give a verdict in a legal case on the basis of evidence submitted to them in Court which mean A Trial has been agree on...It's not a black vs White thing.......Look beyond that to see things clearly it’s a civilian which is us Tha people. Vs #Cops and #ThaGovernment …..Racism and all other forms of discrimination is wrong point blank period. Ours is inclusion, not of exclusion. I will advocate for all people in courtrooms, boardrooms, and classrooms and evens streets to etc…. I don’t commit to this for my own self-aggrandizement. I commit to it for making this place we call earth a better place for my Kids. I do so because it’s right. I want us all to see tha Promised Land. That sweet land of liberty! Together .I am in tha service of tha Great I Am. I love, I learn, I laugh, I cry, and I try – therefore I am.
