Flip The Script.

I normally stay off of the topic of racism. I hate to believe that it even still exists. In a world as big as this, so many colors, with so many gifts; to see an entire human being eclipsed by simply his race. It's hard to face that this is in fact the state of our nation. Where a man whose skin happens to be black is in fact reason enough to kill him. And instead of admitting that there is a problem, our government that was put in place by God to solve them, is only making excuses. If we continue to do this, how can there ever be retribution? How can there ever be healing? And I'm not saying I'm against the police, I'm simply saying that I am in need of an explanation. I need to know that what we are facing will not become what is normal, that we will not, as a nation, tolerate blatant discrimination with no consequence. That we will not look on and just..... do nothing. There needs to be a change. In order to make a way for better days, in order to create a place for forgiveness in the hearts of man, there needs to be a plan of action towards unity. Until then, there can be no peace. The violence will not cease until we come together. Simply put, we need to do better. This old way of thinking isn't working anymore, so we need to get clever. Flip the script, don't just throw up a fist, lift up your voice, and yell until it's heard. Cry out with a profound word that cannot be ignored. Don't force your hand, formulate a plan to reform the system. Use your mind brothers and sisters. Let wisdom be your weapon. Like Dr. Martin Luther King, demonstrate an intellectual basis for your protests. Use patience and restraint in the face of racism. Don't let them take your freedom by giving them a reason to take it. Indeed it's the only way that true lasting change has ever been created. Peacefully.
