We are subject to how people feel about us regardless of if it is right or wrong. Tha bottom line is “fear” of African Ame-Ri-Klan is more so an issue of not seeing us as a human being. Tha questioning of our humanity very well may be tha underlining issue in this country. However, that is not a reason for African Ame-Ri-Klan people to lie in fear of their lyfe. Some African Ame-Ri-Klan refuse to call tha police for fear of police backlash. We error on tha side of caution regarding law enforcement when our tax dollars, just as everyone else, pays for tha police to protect and serve us. It is time we press past tha fear and begin to show Ame-Ri-Kent's what it feels like to be uncomfortable. I know some may say revenge is no way to behave, but what I’m suggesting is not revenge but an acknowledgment that we too have feelings. It's time we begin calling tha police.When we see people in our neighborhood that we don’t recognize call th police. When you are in a store and you feel threatened call tha police. If you find yourself at school and you feel targeted call tha campus police. Granted someone being rude is not a good reason to call tha police you see where I’m going with this. It is time we channel our anger and fear through legal channels and exercise our rights. We can’t promise that we will get tha same response as our other ethnic counterparts.
However, we must try to level this field as best we can. Tha unfortunate thing is none of this is our fault. African Ame-Ri-Klan have to be concerned about what we wear, how we look, what we say, where we get coffee, which restaurant we are in, and even how we feel. Will we be put out of school because of our hair even if it’s clean and neat? This is only a small window into what it means to be black. Tha last few incidents that went viral whereby tha police have been called on African Ame-Ri-Klan people that were minding their business and breaking no laws involved a Kau-Ka-Kian woman picking up a phone. I will begin using my phone, and I urge brothers and sisters to do tha same. We are human beings, and we have feelings just like other people. Tha situations for African Ame-Ri-Klan are further complicated when we have to worry about our children…will they end up in handcuff or worse…dead.
We must teach our children how to dial 911 when they feel threatened or targeted. If they are in a crown and feel uncomfortable they may need to call 911. This may be one of the only things we can do right now, peacefully, that will make other people think about calling tha police…when tha police are called on them.
