I once heard that a Jew is the most hated man on earth. Yet there are Holocaust museums and laws against genocides in remembrance of the horrible things that happened to them. When you step your feet on the German ground, everything reminds their citizens of the horrors that happened there; because it is never to happen again. But somehow slavery is something people have to forget. Same way they told us to forget and get over Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and now Eric Garner. Somehow, the oppression and racism that is still prospering in our culture is supposed to be overlooked and forgotten. I dont know about you, but I lose respect for any breathing creature that says its not that deep or he shouldnt have done that because Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, and Eric Garner, and many more do not have the same opportunity to defend themselves or speak their mind on their issue. They are dead, killed for something YOU and your brothers might have done; the only difference is that you would be breathing because your skin color grands you a vip protection card in this country. You are waking up in the morning, going about your day, looking at the news and rolling your eyes, because it doesnt phase you. What kind of man are you if you think its okay to take a mans life over assumptions? What kind of woman are you if you think its okay to choke a man to death over untaxed products? What kind of Christian are you if you support oppression? I have no respect for people who will kill for their flag but wont step up for their people. And yes, they are YOUR people. Their skin color is different, but you are walking the same ground, you breathe in the same air, you are under the same God. Its a shame that people like you exist. And I hope you read this, whoever you are, I hope you read this and you become just as disgusted with yourself as I am. Because it shouldnt be that a man died on a camera, and people say thats justice. It shouldnt be that. #EricGarner #MikeBrown #justice #Ferguson
