I am so sick of these senseless killings. It seem like everyday it is another murder, and another murderer getting away with it. I really do not know what is going on right now. I want to believe that I am safe. Being a black man, if I get pulled over or stopped by a cop, how should I react? If I am walking down the street with my hoodie on, should I be nervous? Just looking back at the Ferguson situation with Mike Brown, all I could say is that God will make things right. No court of law is above his, and he will make sure that all wrongs are vindicated. Eric Garner, being killed after telling the police that he can not breathe. This is truly crazy. I really don't know what to do. A part of me want to stand up, shout, rally, and start a revolution. While another part of me, just want God to deal with it. Like, how would I react if something like this happened to a close relative of mines? What would I do then? Social media just adds fuel to the fire also. Word gets around a lot quicker than it use to. People are starting movements without leaving their couch. It is crazy. All I know is that change is needed before these killings get any worse. Prayer is needed. Not only for the people that lost their loved ones, but also for the people that are still alive and thinking that retaliation is the answer to all.
*I hate that I had to blog on something like this during the holiday season. But it was long overdue. I just wanted to share a little bit of what was on my mind.
