SUPPORT RAMARLEY…SO SORRY I FORGOT

If we are occupying the corners it must mean that we want to reclaim
the corners. That begs the question of who are we reclaiming the
corners from? Why are they there in the first place. Those are harder
questions to deal with but that is precisely where we must go. We must
demand more from those who would seek to lead us. A take off on occupy
walls street is good for headlines and the news media but how do we
translate that into proper education for our kids, stopping police
brutality and economic opportunity.

Finally let’s be mindful that those kids on the corners are our kids.
They are not heads for police officers to bust or the reason why there
is violence in our communities. The violence is a reaction to
something more insidious yet vile. It is the manifestation of lack of
opportunity, recreation, proper schooling, parentage, and a myriad of
other things that we can change.

Remember there is no such thing as black on black crime. That is a
creation of the “larger” culture which says look in the mirror you are
doing it to yourself. I’ll accept that when they start talking about
white on white crime, Chinese on Chinese crime and so.

So let us occupy the corner but be aware of what we really need. AND DEMAND IT.
