Today Jan. 15th we honor MLK & on Monday, Jan 18th, it was the delegated date in history for the entire world to remember if not honor MLK. A non-violent black leader who courageously contested at the front line of black disparity. And if u studied the hardships & oppressions throughout American history then u know the struggles of black men, woman & children over their Black History. The violence remains controversial in the teachings of history. Over the lynching of black people, limited to if no justice at all. Just for asking for the legal rights and freedoms to obtain the same equality and access in social economics. Today in 2021 Our leaders from the past we pay homage but who is capable in leading us now to the Promise Land. In a world of disgruntled debates? A leader that will not die as an extension of the violence in peaceful declarations and human protest. To face the face of Hate, privilege and Internal angered oppressions? My point is this no man of any color in humanity "owns history individually, or is entitled to another human being in ownership. Are in no subject matter based on his or her argument, value, morals and beliefs. Or neither by land deed or creed. American History is a makeup of all colors in race including the contributions and still non credited successes of inventions of Black Historic people and their leadership rolls. Our history also reflects back to a young boy's story Emmitt Till who was removed from his aunt & uncle's house in the wee hours of the morning by angered men. Emmitt was 14 years old when he was lynched, beaten to death & his body was thrown him into the Tallahatchie river over. Stemming from human "gossip" of being associated in a store with a woman of color. In the end of his young life the legal findings were false allegations. Emmitt deaths burdened the lives of his family, and added a scar in Black History due to a human brutality through the behavior expressing hate. And a time lined of the due process in unspeakable injustices for a senseless death. For another mother of color; he was 28 years old, raised by a single black mother who struggled to ensure this child was loved & protected, a high school graduate with honors, college and embraced his intelligence as a young black man, beyond his dispositions. But taught to not be defined by those dispositions in limiting his ambitions. This son was known by an array of diversity in his peers of associations. He challenged himself. And acclimated himself mentally & physically in any space of diversity. Including his own community of blue collared workers, wealth & disparity. a jack of all mental trades. He himself groomed in a presentation of his own identity validated by a community.
On the morning on Jan. 15th, around 8:10am, a father with an infinite family who weep now for him would hold his small children for the last time. Before dropping them off. 15 minutes later on a social network platform the world could see his story. A bullet riddled back window where his small children were just sitting. The thought is dehumanizing. The behavior unconstitutional, the characters wicked in a community of fear. As another black life matters 401 years later following another era in historic BLM protest in unity of all races together. Freedom rings for the black man in a free country in American History. Another gun used in his own childhood community. A community of public records identified because of it's disparity of brown and black people. With immature infrastructure that still exist in conversation; at round tables amongst are chattered and debated oppositions. Of what is progressing around the gun violence. As the history in this story continues to be followed 2 year's later. His death was relevant because he was a matriarch to his own. And a giver in his own community. And silenced of his young life because the chained mentality of behaviors now we await our own justice. The forbidden old cliche is no longer the watch dog of crime. Imbedded in the streets of young & old victims of the bloodshed growing in communities all over the world.
His, your's are them. Of our stories is no different than another story of violence in death, it’s the derogatory and dysfunction in English to justify the death "this nigg# can’t be handled", where the land is commercial property if not taxed to the homestead owners in this community. His death did not create conventional wealth and educational opportunities it was a senseless death. NO, this is not Emmitt Tills story but a reasoning behind MLK's legacy to remove the stigmatism off the black people and erase the disparity thinking. If we can communicate in all races of man; we can begin the healing in humanity. So no more deaths are silenced because "I Can’t Breath". To debate justice and 3 arguments in a black man’s death; 1. The truth that is not enough for equality in justice, 2. For the lies covered up to justify the behaviors behind 3. What fits into the institutions created to keep the mind chained for generations?
Our son’s life mattered, our people matter.. because all people matter in every form of our bodied existence. We are not dying based on the gangs associations, education and economic access. In knowing and accountability to abandon the reasoning behind the extension of why it exist in every disparity and upscale community, school and homes throughout the world. We cannot deny the violence is stimulated around the process & behavior. And without addressing how & when it entered into a country of all men. as we continue chanting generations years later where is the "Accountability", and why "I can't breathe", is a situation that grew in humanity.
Jan 15th, is honored for a generation of reasoning. that have been deprived of many biological rights; to be raised and loved with a father and family. Who held a roll of a provider and protector. And of those mother's robbed of holding black lives. Losing Dominique is a great loss, and for any mother to lose a child to the ignorance of a legacy of stigmatism. Insulted in another day of our fight to conquer hardships & impacted disparity; tied to our freedoms & generational growth. Because of the mindset in “I hold your dreams in my hands”.
