I don’t feel good
or normal
unless something is wrong
“what’s wrong?”
ME!
“huh?”
what
“whats wro?”
EVERYTHING!

Born on my own land
I am my own man
I have my own plans
because I make my own plans
I am a strong man
so I’ll take justice into my own hands
and you will have no chance
cuz I am mighty, I am barbaric, I am Conan
And this is my rights as a White Man
Vigilante justice
is just
mitigating what’s Just, for Us
and just for us in this White Land
Either in conscience or act. The only line of difference is my color. Every so often that blaring line blemishes into humanity as a whole.
We see who we all really are, bottom lines and quotas, a bunch of living-commodities giving unlimited and unchecked power to our oppressors taking form as corporations, government and public servants sworn to serve US. But in reality, they subject us all pitting classes, colors and cultures against one another. Conditioning our minds of what’s right and what’s deserved with discretionary, mitigating factors, all the while hiding their motivations behind our constitutional, systemical, and institutional ideologies.
And the ad nauseum propagandized hope, equality and justice for all, cloaking racial biases which create caste systems for social control and concentration camps in the deceitful language of law and order- a legal basis to further limit and subjugate poorer proportions of our population- while alleging wrongdoing and color blindness in the pursuit of justice.
Making most believe that black people are just inherently bad, aggressive and lazy therefore, deserving of their abysmal despot and squandering fate because they are given enough handouts as is to be different and to be better. Having many believe blacks are assisted even more than most and should have no excuse but what then of the Spanish Americans and the damn near all but extinct Native Americans or is there just an inherent problem with all people of color- blacks being the worst.
Because through the colonization of this country the heaviest workload was fashioned on the backs of these now suffering and marginalized people, pitting all poor and working class whites against them just to perpetuate the established elite order and safe running of the few at the top.
Maybe my skin is the problem, but to me, all problems are a matter of perception and to this problem, my skin seems to be the answer. An answer that I will never possess being born this way but will always have to ultimately answer for. Labels are a slavery of words. Once color was first announced, then came class. To keep class intact, a constitution was erected. And to police the new terms of society, conditioning was educated. After the indoctrination process then history needed merit. So narratives changed to capitalize and culture was stolen to reinforce tradition over truths cementing continual subjugation, ignoring the humanity of ALL for survival and supremacy, justifying immorality for profit…felon!
So I’ve noticed more police campaigns and commercials
advertising what they do for us
now that they are under scrutiny
using our tax dollars to promote support for them
the same understanding isn’t consistently extended
are we, the public, that they serve, also not due our sympathy?
politicians don’t really want police defunded
because they thrive on law and order and status quo
they need their class and positions protected and separated by law enforcement
or that would imbalance privilege
politicians and policeman want us to afford them room for growth and change
but they don’t afford us the same
SMH
uh, why do you have to remind us what you do for us
you must not have been doing it
You put me down
looked down upon me
saying, my place was down
well I killed your horse
and kicked it!
Nebraska doesn’t hear us
or they just don’t care
and no one outside of Nebraska,
gives a damn about Nebraska!
when our community gave testimonies at a town hall
in front of the states legislators
about police brutality
and the overpopulation of our prisons
as an answer to the city state and nationwide protests
the governor, Pete Ricketts
answered them by
proposing more maximum beds to be created inside the prison
which doesn’t push people out
but keep them inside of prison
since no minimum beds are being created
even though we are in a emergency capacity
and the mayor, Jean Stothert
she increased the police budget
AND
gave us an INDIGENOUS DAY!
you gotta be kiddin me!
