I studied those I have looked up to and put some of their teachings and mixed with my own life experiences and beliefs I have started to determine what MY message to the world is. Bipolar disorder makes it very hard for me to properly express my feelings and thoughts so that is why I'm doing these blogs. So I can type these random ramblings onto here and so people will get to know what is on my mind. If you don't care for what I have to say that is fine but if you DO find some sense of understanding or if you feel like what I've said is relevant to you than I love you and thank you for caring enough to read my thoughts!
I grew up in a pretty rough environment in the city of Philadelphia. There was a ton of racial tension and I grew up around so much hate and violence that is partially the reason for my post traumatic stress disorder. I can not even fully explain everything in enough detail so I can not give you a full understanding of where I grew up. As in many cities I would say drugs was the ultimate neighborhood killer as I watched first hand as my city deteriorated into the slums they are today. My last time back there I was very heart broken by what I saw. As bad as it was when I was there it has gotten even worse. Downtown is still a beauty but in North Philly where I'm from it is no pretty picture and can be very dangerous too.
GANGS
The majority of Gangs out there from Kings,
Bloods, Crips, P Stones, take your pick...they all started on the basis
of representing their neighborhoods in a positive way to show a unity
that wasn't clear before. The government saw this as a threat, so in
the 60's we saw the outlawing of "recreational" drugs, yet these drugs
were pumped into the inner cities and found their way into the hands of
these "gang" members. What better way to control the people and put a halt on any type of relevant revolution?...
That's when the concept of the gang went
sour, turning gang members into drug dealers and violent murderers with a
terribly negative image in their very own community, thus giving Police
and the Feds a reason to wage "war" on drugs and gangs in inner cities.
This was a very easy task because the "innocent" people in the
communities cried for protection from these gangs, so with nothing in
their way the "powers that be" got their way as usual...
Groups like the Black Panthers and the
"Move" were blatantly slandered all throughout the media by the
government shown as nothing more than "anti-america" trouble makers and
criminals...when the truth is exactly the opposite...Isn't it funny that
when people want POSITIVE change for this land of the free we call home
they are tarred and feathered and well, flat out DESTROYED and painted
as "evil"..
The government "of the people by the people
and for the people" is just another useless slogan that I wouldn't even
wipe my boogies with ...After our "independence" they scrambled to assemble a
government that would run our country. Benjamin Franklin made a comment "we need to get this done before the people
realize they don't need us..." truer words were never spoken, we DON'T
need them to make decisions for us, we don't need them to clean up our
streets, we don't need them to beat our meat (not exactly relevant to
the females reading this)...everything that people are expecting of the
government can easily be done IMMEDIATELY by US.
So...the true "gang" that is guilty of the
most crimes, the most heinous acts of injustice, the most brutal murders
and rape of it's very own constitution is...you guessed it...the
Government "NOT of the people, NOT by the people, and NOT for the
people...
Before anybody comments with "he's anti
america" type stuff...read it again, and understand that I love the
PEOPLE of america and of all countries as well. The so-called
"terrorist" countries that we hear about are filled with people who are
being ruled by the same shmucks we have who teach THEM that we hate
THEM and that WE are the terrorists...people of all nations need to get
rid of the leaders and unite as one and that is the only way this world can improve...
Sad thing is, it's our kids and our kid's kids that are really getting screwed out the deal...
another sad thing...the street gangs are
letting the government control them while they think that they're doing
what they do freely...Don't you think for a minute that you guys n gals all killing each other and drugging each other up is what they want? You're doing their job for them as you watch your community around you suffer dying on life support. Really gotta
think about that and start making some positive changes on these streets and do it soon while there's still a chance.
