Black People Today - Time For Change .

Location

(A message to Black People from A black person ) In my opinion Black people today are kind of a disgrace . I am not speaking about all just most of us . Everyone wants to say F**k the police / white man but look at your behavior you show for them to do their actions . I'm pretty sure that police members want to go home to their families too so its actually bust first or dont see your family. We are steady killing each other everyday yet yell "ack Lives Matter" . Did they matter when you decided to pull the trigger because he/she was the enemy ?? Of course not ! And then you have the young black people today listening to rappers like Cheif Keef , Bobby Shmurda , Migos and many others that's putting a bad effect on you . You always want to yell " 12K , F**k the Police " or whatever you say but what did the police do to you ??? If someone shot your mother in the face you have to call 9-1-1 right ? Ok .
Another thing that makes our race a disgrace to other peoples eyes is how we act when these people started dieing. I want to use the Mike Brown incident for an example when he died ok it was expected for marches to happen but riots ? Really ? If you were really savage you shouldve went and robbed/messed up the white peoples neighborhoods . But noo you went and messed up your own . People were on KTLA Channel 5 news robbing liquor stores that is rediculous man. That means wasn't noo body thinking about Mike Brown. You niggas was thinking about yourself . You sat up here and damaged all of this property in your neighborhoods now they look even worse than before .
We have to get it together people . Stop listening to all these modern day rappers because you want to sit up here and be just like them and your black but will end up in jail . You want to flock like YG but that was his old life He is soo successful now and he is not out here doing this crazyness he is getting his money .
You want to be " in love with the coco " & go to clubs on tuesdays when you cant even eat .
You ladies want to hop on the next thug but cant even get a pap smear .
Always worried about who got the EBT card or whatever but cant go work for what you want
Dr.MLK would probably be dissappointed foreal ..

I'm not trying to sound like a hypocrite because yes I like to get ratchet too ... but lets use our brains more and stay out of the streets and go get this money together

I just want to say rest in peace to Travon Martin , Ezell Ford , Mike Brown , that 12 year Old kid & Any other Black person that died for a bad cause // altercation with the police though ...
