THE IMPORTANCE OF MOMENTUM

Peace.

Over the last couple of days,  I know a lot has been said regarding the events surrounding the #Ferguson decision and the execution of #Tamir. 

Some of you have probably been reading my, and others, social media posts with frustration and confusion, wishing it would stop and that we will talk about something else... There's NOTHING more important to talk about than THIS!

Since the verdict was announced, and the news of Tamir being shot here in Cleveland, I haven't watched a sports game or anything else because they're diversions.

If you look up the word "entertainment", one of its definitions is "diversion; to divert".  Divert from what?!  REAL life?!

We can NO LONGER be diverted from the issues from which need to be addressed today:

- Equal protection and rights under the law for ALL people, especially minorities (damn, is this 2014 of 1964?)
and
- The restructuring and building of Black families and communities without outside agitation and interference.

Until these two things can be respectfully addressed and adhered to, there will be nothing else to discuss or be entertained by...PERIOD!

We MUST utilize the momentum available to us as an energy to galvanize the movement of equality, freedom, and justice.  If not, we will be return to our our lulled slumber and be diverted from the truth of our current position in the U.S.

The revolution of TRUE change starts NOW!

POWER UP!
