Black Targets

Black Bodies remain targets. America still cannot understand that which it has been socialized to fear. So, it is this harsh reality that sets the backdrop for the systemic brutalization of precious black bodies. So, as countless precious souls leave this earth in the midst of questionable gun smoke we are forced to rationalize hoping it was a mistake. However, our mistake is believing that post-racial rhetoric can overshadow a history where to embody blackness was an unforgivable crime. And that the remnants of this legacy can be cleaned with the sterilizing bleach of good intentions.The truth of our condition must be made bare if we our to ever be free. So, as these crimes against humanity continue I ask brothers and sisters to emerge from the doldrums of complacency and take their rightful place at the table of revolution. The time is now! The only thing we have to lose is our chains! Let's Get Free!
