If we are serious about being serious then this is a conversation we must be a part of...After the rioting, marching, protesting, looting, then what? do we really think things will change for the better this time around? Unless our next move is to checkmate the hate we will continue to bury our children murdered at the hands of the pigs and those who work on behalf of the system of oppression, especially those who look like us, sleep amongst us, but secretly sell us for 30 pieces and a Lexus. The Demand for Reparations is the Key to unlock the bars of time around us...
