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=

#quityourshitamerica! how in the hell is my black skin more threatening than a white suspect with an assault rifle 'round his neck?! the way they let that boy flee the scene while people were shouting "he just shot someone" is total disrespect. come on!  what's it gonna take for the black man, woman, and child to belong? why the whitewashed media protect racists with assault rifles yet call me a terrorist for holding a sign stating i too belong? from #theemmetttillgeneration to #blacklivesmatter, we've been singing the same ol' song. how many times must we state #itooamerica?! why the all lives matter fanatics only tough on when the defendants are brown or black? tell me, how do those that purport pro-life fail to stake their claim when the slain is black? if it's make america great again, when we gonna talk about her heinous acts? when gop revisionists rile white supremacists with rhetoric like "take our country back," are you not taken aback? today marks 65 years since the ideologue of make america great murdered emmett till  yet still, the murderous pack is murdering us still. if #democracyisdialogue, when we gonna talk about how the hits are being orchestrated from capitol hill? from #jimcrow to #cointelpro, this nation's been wielding legislation as agents of oppression. if #thepenismightierthanthesword, when we gonna expound #stopandfrisk and #standyourground as systemic weapons? if you ask me #whyimnolongertalkingtowhitepeopleaboutrace, i will tell you: the #fearofablackman,  i mean the presumption of #reasonablesuspicion is no reason to view my black skin as a weapon. how many of our unarmed brothers and sisters must die before racial bias is called into question? to be specific, why the snark remarks against #blm protesters yet the constant need to decriminalize catholic priest, woody allen, and other caucasian child molesters? the next time you decide to portray protesters as looters, be sure to illustrate how the secretary of state stole an election. how many members of the gop must we see steal an election before #votersuppression is called into question? if there is to be any hope, we must unify resistance in november with a vote. -stevie https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcuGhnBHpK/?igshid=n0dr1i4ju8kn
