We'd like to take a moment to pay homage to the life of #EmmettTill... Sixty-seven years later we're chanting #BLACKLIVESMATTER, STILL?! Sixty-seven years to date and we're still bearing the grief of #BlackMothers that had to bury their son. It's been sixty-seven years yet we still cannot shake the harrowing image of a stoic #MamieTill peering at her son. When will the impunity enjoyed by make america great again extremists come to an end? Why do tough on crime conservatives fail to prosecute when the plaintiff has pale skin? It's been sixty-seven years to date and America continues to fail the #BlackYouth. Peace to the #EmmettTillGeneration and organizations that empower the Black Youth. Let us never forget brother Emmett nor the brothers and sisters slain neath the blind eye of society. Question: How can one afford a #peacefulprotest, while our brothers and sisters are dying violently? Why must my grandmother and granddaughter shed the same tears? How long must my #freedomcries go unanswered before freedom rings 'round here? How are we to look into the innocent faces of our sons, nephews, cousins, and grandsons without seeing traces of Emmett, Trayvon, and Tamir? How long are we to watch little Bobby and Becky skylark through the park while #IndigoChildren disappear?! What's it gonna take to indict Carolyn Bryant and her coconspirators for the kidnapping and murder of brother Emmett in Mississippi? How long before you notice that these anti-wOke laws are being drafted to keep you from truly seeing the heinous acts committed by white people throughout American history? Truth be told, the nineteen-fifties are not too far removed, we all have access to someone that was alive in nineteen fifty-five. We've all witnessed the police murder unarmed Black people and we've all watched a white mass murderer leave a mass shooting alive. Nevertheless, #sentimentsofsankofa won't allow me to remain timid, Therefore, I loudly chant #JUSTICEFOREMMETT ✊🏾 -Stevie #artisactivism / #quityourshitamerica #poem • Black Lives Matter, Still ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #TheEmmettTillGeneration • #peacetotheancestors • #rememberingthelifeofemmettti https://www.instagram.com/p/ChzxdRfAG7x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We'd like to take a moment to #rememberthelife of our beloved brother Emmett Till. #IFAMERICAWASGREAT on August 28, 1955, Mamie's beloved 14 year old son would still be alive. Yet here we are - in the wake of #makeamericagreatagain and prayers to keep our Black Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers alive. Here we are - on the eve of 67 years to date without atonement; 67 years of trying to be civil with the uncivilized, in the fight for #civilrights. 50 some odd years of echoing the #freedomcries of #the60s, 8 milli some odd hashtags to rehash #BLACKLIVESMATTER, STILL. To paint the picture clearly, The harrowing image of a stoic #MamieTill peering at her son is replicated too often. How does one suppose we're past kneeling in view of the fact that if they don't bury us behind bars, these quick to draw officers of the law are quick to create #stilllifeimpressions of our brothers and sisters in a coffin? If they're not distorting #BlackExcellence in the media, the news reels stay purporting a Black-on-Black crime agenda to make your impressions of SELF less important. These days if they don't kill you - they kill your spirit, #mypoemsarenotpoems, these ain't jus' lyrics; #DearBlackAmerica, #YOUAREENOUGH, YOU ARE IMPORTANT. Why you think these white supremacists out here stealing our organs? These chemists launching chemical warfare, controlling the population through germ inoculation, food modifications, and infectious disease patents that appear to be attacking Black and Latin vital organs. Between Jim Crow and COINTELPRO these lawmakers have always tipped the scales of justice. And uh - these sellouts never see what they cost us. If nothing else, Pay attention to anything and everything that depreciates your self-worth, #PROTECTBLACKWOMANHOOD, protect our sons and daughters, and always remember what the #emmetttillgeneration taught us. -Stevie #artisactivism / #quityourshitamerica #poem • Black Lives Matter, Still revisited ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #EmmettTill • #peacetotheancestors • #rememberingthelifeofemmetttill https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxY3YKAeN9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
