Days goes by and we wonder why. After Trayvon this could happen another time. That someone figure that our youth isn't worth a future but they alway paint a picture that's so messed up to depict us.
We just try to live, like all the other kids. We to have a dream to make it, but the society we live in say we're worthless. Time doesn't make it better our ancestors fought for this the only thing that changed is it went from legal to illegal, or did it? Seems more like it when from being seen openly to low key. Getting shot in the streets instead of being hung/burn from a tree. There's no justice for us and it ain't nothing new. I could let these words flow together until my face turn blue. So let me educate you my fellow black youth. Cause our history book barely tell the truth.
See we come from a land that was ours they brought us here. We build America as it is with our blood, sweat and tears. Our ancestor overcame the odds of Oppression, Family Separation , Mental and Physical Mutilation and we still here. That's the problem that we still here if they could they would've killed us off back in those years, but here's the twist to it they needed us to live. Did I mention the Civil Rights movement? Is the reason why so many doors before us have opened. See they only give us a month and in that month teachers only teach our history for a week. Miseducate us to justify their actions by say we are no good savages lower then animals because they are wrong for what did to us. Truth is we are so strong (a super power) if we could just bond together. We to busy marching and screaming for justice but we become so contented with the law to enforce it.

It's painful knowing that we still haven't been accepted in a place we live in.
Some people don't take it seriously but Michael Brown is not the first Trayvon Martin isn't even the first for every black youth that is killed for racist reasons. Is another slave being lynched, another Emmett Till Im sure you get the picture but people have the audacity to say it isn't important. Black on Black crime is done everyday. So is White on White crime but its a big deal to them when a Black man kill a White man. My question is how much could we just take settling for washed up apologizes and "it was a mistake". Think about the others who story hasn't been heard or known. The ones who death is still a unsolved mystery, the ones on death row for crimes they didn't commit? It goes way deeper then just two young men they are and always have been killing our generations!
