If I had a dollar for every person that speculated on my mental health because of what I post on social media …
Its always funny to get a report back …
So and so was asking if you are ok?
No, I am not ok and that is perfectly fine to be not ok …
I will express myself how I want …
I know my shit gets digested …
Maybe not by likes maybe not by comments …
But in the conversations I have with folks in person.
I never claimed to have all the truth and nothing but the truth …
I know my perspective is not the same as others …
I know I share some wild shit at times …
None of what I share is the complete truth.
What I share is intended to disrupt …
Disrupt the trance I feel most of you are living in …
The goal is to question …
Question all narratives …
I get folks that disagree …
and I do my best to find consensus is our disagreements …
Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesnt.
If we gonna argue …
We gonna have to try and comprehend how we communicate …
You cant have a logical argument with someone taking an emotional stance …
and vice versa.
While protests are happening …
I see emotions are high …
No logical argument is going to work …
Maybe we gotta burn it all down …
and start over.
But I am doing my best to inject a bit of pause …
and ask some of yall to think …
for a minute.
I aint a fan of big government …
but I also know they aint gonna take this shit lightly.
What I see is a lot of romanticizing of revolutionary rhetoric …
Which I love to get fired up to as well …
But I dont see any critical thought going into what happens when we get the revolution we seek …
There are consequences when you put on your Che tshirt …
Yall dont got the fire power to deal with this.
I been screaming black lives matter for 30 plus years …
I been screaming bout police brutality for just as long.
I am anti racism.
Anti homophobia.
Anti transphobia.
Anti classism.
Anti fascism.
Anti communism.
Anti sexism.
And whatever “ism” you want to pull out.
These “isms” are all low vibrations …
It should be common sense.
And I believe it is.
Only ones still holding on to these low vibrations …
Are in their last death throws of their existence.
Boomers were the last generation still holding on to these vibes …
If I look around today …
Damn near every family is mixed.
But the news keeps pumping this racism angle.
Now I dont buy what the news says …
I dont buy what a lot of folks are selling.
We been lied to so very long we dont know what is correct …
Food is fake.
Water is poisoned.
History is false.
Education system is fake.
Politics is fake.
Her boobs are fake.
Money is fake.
Damn near everything we been told is a lie.
At this point I cant help but to question the whole round earth deal as being false.
All I try to do is remind you dummies …
That is all lies …
and to calm the fuck down and get back to what is real.
Go plant a seed.
Water it.
Watch it grow.
This I can prove …
Everything else is conjecture.
At the end of the day I trust myself …
I trust my gut …
I use my mind to question the facts …
I use my heart to separate emotions from logic …
and I use my gut to make a call a decision …
I could be wrong …
and will do my best to correct my wrongs.
But what I wont do is shut my mouth just because it does not go along with the narrative of the masses.
I am gonna stick with integrity …
Integrity of my spirit.
Just because I may not agree with your argument …
Does not mean I reject you and your beliefs.
I have room at my table for passionate disagreements …
I understand not everyone is wearing the same shoes that brought us to the table.
I got no beef with the sentiment or the message of black lives matter …
but I do question some of the political intentions that are hijacking the message …
From what most folks commonly agree upon.
If yall want some plan for police accountability …
I am with it.
But if yall want to get rid of all cops …
Then I am gonna pump the brakes …
If yall want to get all vigilante with it …
I am gonna pump those brakes as well.
What I think some of yall are missing is …
Youre not reading the battlefield well.
Most folks here in America agree …
Shit has been fucked up for a minute …
Humanity has never been given the chance …
Again it is only a few folks whom have been fucking us for far too long …
They all got names and addresses …
Figure out whom has been fucking it up for the rest of us …
Deal with them.
This is all I am ever after …
To figure out whom has been fucking humanity up.
America is an idea.
Yes it is a country.
and two continents.
But at the end of the day it is an idea.
Some say it is a good idea some say it is all shit …
Either way you are correct …
Matter of perspective.
We can make it better or we can burn it down …
But you cant kill an idea …
This idea has folks from all over the world fighting to get here …
This has folks all over the world watching how we handle these times …
This is the frontlines of freedom for everyone in the world.
If we lose this fight …
So goes the world.
For the new world order to happen they needed to break the spirit of freedom here in America …
This spirit needs to burn bright …
The spirit of all those ancestors that fought for this freedom …
We gonna just hand it over to bunch of knuckleheads whom have been fucking us for past few hundred years …
Its an idea.
I got no beef with anyone …
Especially if you disagree …
We all have something to share …
and I am gonna share what I feel need to be brought to the conversation.
Some will argue.
Some will unfriend.
Most will lurk.
Some will talk.
Did you see what Brian said? He must have lost his damn mind.
News flash!
I lost my mind a long ass time ago.
That is ok with me.
I am good with me.
I like me.
I am not everyones cup of tea.
But I will not back down or be bullied because I dont agree with your opinion …
Those whom know me personally or whom have had conversations with me …
Know that I dont bow to anyone opinion …
I will hold my own in person or online.
Right now I am overwhelmed with many emotions …
We got folks sowing division where there is none.
Most folks agree …
Cops need to be reigned in.
Bad cops need to be held accountable.
But you aint gonna get me to say all cops are bastards.
It’s like saying all Republicans are racist.
All Democrats are pedophiles.
All Mexicans are lazy.
All Indians are drunks.
All black people are …
See where I am going with it …
Dehumanizing.
I aint with it.
On a last note …
I aint the smartest.
I aint the dumbest.
But I sure can say I am smarter than a majority …
and I aint gonna apologize for that.
So if you dumb …
Get fucked.
