The Temptress

At what point, do we take matters into our own hands?? How much longer can we pretend these killings aren’t intentional!? We’ve waited patiently, followed the rules, Trusted in a system, that has always been stacked against us. Listened to people in charge constantly telling men and women of color that we are over reacting. But we cant do it anymore!! 

Before Covid happened, there was always the argument that black people and white people fighting for the same rights get treated equally. When we have always known that its never been true. You see, many people would use the argument that well there is more to the story...when ever it comes to the killing of a black man or woman. People of color always getting described as “Thugs, Criminals, Gang Members, Sketchy, and Suspects, Monsters”. Even when they are the victims of murder. Before properly getting the story of what happened to a black victim out, they do background research and try to find the most damning thing about said victim, and they proceed to talk about them in regards to past transgressions in their lives but not about what they were currently doing! If the black victim has ever like most humans, made a mistake and have any form of past criminal history regardless of what. They will refer to the victim as a “former thug” or “former prisoner” “addict” or even better “Suspect” of a supposed recent crime in the area of which the person doesn't fit the description of. 

When white people are victims or even the aggressor in certain situations, they look up the most innocent looking photo, and talk about all the good they accomplished and achieved, they discuss any positive changes they’ve made since their past. And then worry about the well being of the white person. Their colorful past is not made apparent in news immediately. They are deemed innocent until proven guilty, or even when they are guilty allotted lesser penalties than those of their back peers. And even when the obvious is so clear to us, people still insisted that wasn’t the case.

We can only sit back and watch the literal systematic attempt to remove black people and reap the rewards of modern day slavery via Privatized Prisons and illegal and unfair mass incarcerations for so long. They continue to find ways to stiffen us as a people. But no matter what we always prevail. Because we are resilient. We are natural born survivors by your creation. 

According to a Research Study conducted by researchers in California:  The findings, the authors concluded, supported an “epigenetic explanation.” The idea is that trauma can leave a chemical mark on a person’s genes, which then is passed down to subsequent generations. The mark doesn’t directly damage the gene; there’s no mutation. Instead it alters the mechanism by which the gene is converted into functioning proteins, or expressed. The alteration isn’t genetic. It’s epigenetic.

What does all that mean??

Well as more and more genetic research is conducted, we have better understanding of how the human genetic coding works. What traits and such cause and do what? In attempt to find ways to cure other big world issues. Its been found that, any trauma a group or generation of people have experienced goes beyond just topical physical and mental changes. It has been discovered that prolonged exposure to trauma, and terrible living conditions can genetically alter the victims genetic make up which in then passes onto the next generation. 

Black people since the beginning of our time, have always been treated unfairly, less than human, and never given full human rights even til this day. They were made to forget their culture, their names, their religions, and family traditions, their HISTORY! Black people were not allowed to learn, to write, to read, not entitled to proper healthcare, living conditions, food, or, livable wages, equal justice or FREEDOM! So as a People, black people were forced to adapt to less than normal and human conditions to survive. It was the only was to move forward. And it makes the White Man mad! To see that no matter how many roadblocks they put down, we will always find a way. You can’t stop greatness! 

Our DNA is literally coded to survive the worst of the worst. And because of that, we are a Race of People that scares the living light out of white fragile men, and its why they try to scare us, and brake us, and make us feel like we have no choice! Because their biggest fear is one day all of the Black people rising up and taking back a country that by all intent and purposes belongs to Us. We built this Nation. This entire country was built on the blood, sweat and tears of millions and millions of Black men and women, ripped from their homes and everything they knew, stripped from their lives and enslaved, raped, tortured, bred like cattle, and used for entertainment. 

Even hundreds of years later, in a supposed more tolerable world, we are still witness to the very same systems used back then but with a new modern flair to control the Black people. They kill us for sport. They use black men and women pictures for target practice. Still get away with cold blooded murder. Still no true justice. Still being sent with a mere slap on the wrist, if any at all. Its a sad day in history when we as black people have to worry about the most basic of human rights. Like walking in the park, shopping, driving, walking down the street, sitting in your own home have all become reasons why a black person has been killed. Because being born into a color of skin that people hate for no reason isn’t hard enough, because being born into a system that made it such a disadvantage to be a person of color, because working three times as hard to get noticed at work isn’t hard enough, because having biased being made based on my color when i want to buy something nice isn’t hard enough, but now you are telling me waking up and hoping that Today isn’t your day to die by the hands of those sworn to protect us. 

We were strong before you, we come from Kings and Queens. We come from the original people, with wealth, health and education. But you then tried to brake us and only made us Stronger. We are Faster, Bigger, Stronger, Smarter, More Versatile, and Best of all We Adapt to our surroundings. We are Fearless warriors. Our DNA was forced to teach its new generation to have a heightened sense of self and awareness, an innate need to strive for better, for more by any means necessary. We are Hustlers. You gave us the will to keep pushing forward because you've already put us through the worse. Our ancestors sacrificed and dealt with so much so we can make their deaths not be in vain. 

Now is the time we have to do something. Enough is Enough. You don’t have to care about us. We will care about us. We will do whats right, we will fight for justice and we will continue to raise Strong men and women. Who will always know the truth, we wont hide your lies anymore. We wont pretend its not happening. That moment for quiet and patience is over. The moment a cop and his fellow cop mates can openly murder an innocent black man that was not restricting arrest and pleading for his life on camera without as much as a flinch or worry. Is the moment we have to stop playing nice. 

All I Want To Say Is That They Dont Really Care About Us!
