This is why we ain't never gon be free...

Ever come across something so unbelievably ghetto that there are no words to explain…I mean ghetto to the point that if you had to recount the story to someone else you’d have to use 1 of the following phrases while describing the situation:
*”I’m Deadass”
*”NO LIE”
*”I SWEAR”
*”Your not gonna believe…”
When I encounter said hot ghettomesses I typically say “That’s reason number xyz why we ain’t never gon be free…or simply “That’s why we ain’t never gon be free”.

Folks, allow me to get a tad deep for a moment…blacks were physically enslaved for a few centuries followed by additional decades of inequality, disenfranchisement, and oppression. The Civil Rights Movement helped us gain equality...GREAT. But folks, we still really aren't free. We are now mentally oppressed by, for the most part, our own doing. Of course not everyone is mentally oppressed but many are ruining it for others. And yes these fools know better.

So, moving forward (client correspondence phrase...clearly), if you see a post that simply says Reason #xyz, know that it ties back to this post.

And don't get it twisted...I love my people...but sometimes...we're doing the most...

The Same system that runs and governs the Prisions.....run the School systems...therefore injecting and conditioning our kids at a younger age to have self hate ie: Black doll vs white doll" experiement....We are mentally held down by todays education systems...and we were told by MLK jr to have a "dream" well that dream was to seek acceptance, not to obtain our own society...to govern our own kind.....Well Im here to say that we need not to "DREAM" any longer and we must "WAKE UP" from this dream....
