Stories of The Black Equestrian

Well yes every race matters and every race has the right to live. But that's not what this is about, this is about the wrongful death of many black individuals at the hands of people who were sworn to protect us. While people like to say “more people are killed by black on black crimes’ the reason for this is proximity. And before you say more white people are killed by police, yes that's correct but there are more white people than black people in the us. 

I don’t want to talk about statistics too much right now because truthfully it’s not my forte. What I do want to talk about is how “All Lives Matter” affects black lives. When we speak out on  the unfair treatment of blacks in america for you to say that everyone has it hard this belittles our voice. To quote Joyner Lucas ‘Screaming, "All Lives Matter," is a protest to my protest, what kind of shit is that?’. We can all agree that white people can have hard lives but they have a privilege that black people will never have. This privilege is the privilege to not  be judged on the color of their skin. To not get a job solely on the color of your skin. To not be followed around a store to make sure you’re not stealing. These are things people of color deal with their whole lives. When you are seen as a criminal or ghetto before you even open your mouth. No wonder people are angry you would be too. My ancestors were owned let that sink in. My family was owned by other people. You could pay to own people. The issues didn’t go away when slavery was abolished, they just found a different way to own us. The mass incarceration of black Americans is astronomical.  But that's a part of another topic I want to talk about and is too heavy and in depth to be a random segment of another topic post.
