Detroit teachers stage “sickout” over horrible conditions, force schools to close

Jingle bells, Sherlock fell…

Today I am heartbroken.

Today I am angry.

I’m at a loss for words, so let this speak for its self.  

But I’ve left this unsigned and un-watermarked for a reason. 

I don’t care much for the credit, all I care about is getting this out there.

  It’s not about me, it’s not about promoting my art, and it’s not just about Mike Brown. This piece is about all those right now who are being persecuted by the state for their color. This is for every unwarranted traffic stop, every beating by an officer, every black child who is afraid to walk home from school, not from bullies, or pedophiles, or muggers, but scared to death by the very people who swore an oath to serve and protect them. 

It’s not my image,

America is embroiled in an immigration debate that goes far beyond President Obama’s executive order on undocumented immigrants.

It goes to the heart of who “we” are. And it’s roiling communities across the nation.
