I touched my belly & began to cry tears of joy as the doctor announced that I was having a baby boy. I could see the excitement as I looked into his Daddys face but a wave of darkness came over me & my happiness was replaced. The love I felt for him was unimaginable for this day has finally come; I was chosen to bring forth a King & I vowed to raise a strong, responsible son. But in the blink of an eye, I was filled with sadness & despair because how could I feel comfortable raising a BLACK SON in world that doesnt care? Will his skin color be a curse & cause a target to be placed on his back? Will he be stereotyped & mistreated simply because hes black? His life matters & hes important to me but to others all theyll see is his blackness & he will be enslaved in a country where hes suppose to be free. I fear that his life will be cut short & he will be taken away from me & thats a heartache I never want to feel for thats not how its suppose to be. The violence in our own communities is enough for us to bare but now we must deal with the violence from those whos suppose to protect us & that has me nervous & scared. So GOD please tell me how do I explain all of this to my unborn son? How can I teach him to be proud of who he is when at a young age hes gonna have to carry a weight that weighs more than a ton? We all must do better if we want to see change come to us because everybody at this point is a suspect & we dont know who we can trust! #RIPTrayvonMartin #RIPMichaelBrown #RIPEricGarner #RIPTamirRice #RIPAkaiGurley #RIPSeanBell #RIPOusmaneZongo #RIPAmadouDiallo #RIPKimaniGray #RIPKendrecMcDade #RIPTimothyStansbury #RIPErvinJefferson #RIPAaronCampbell #RIPVictorSteen #RIPJamesBrissette #RIPRonaldMadison #RIPOscarGrant #RIPJavontaeParker #RIPLamarstPorter #RIPCarlosBrown #RIPByronJones & the countless others....
