I want to you all to consider what damage you are doing when you post the horrors of America on its Black citizens.
You are causing more pain and trauma when you post these images. Black America has achieved greatness but too many of you are focused on the darkness.
Lift me up!! Post positive achievements, talk about “why Black lives matter”, list names of people who’ve done great things. Martin Luther King wasn’t the only good Black man.
Talk about someone you know… Lift them up. Raise the bar and your awareness.
Please?!?!?
I delivered this to my FB peers after someone posted something about Americas dark history. Its not enough to remind everyone of that, you must carry them through the storm otherwise you’re just teaching them to hate and divide themselves.
People hate because they’ve been hurt or they’ve been taught wrong. They don’t know how ridiculous they are or sick how sick they’ve become.
Doesn’t matter if there are 800 hateful groups, or people so blind that they believe they are entitled more than another… So long as there is one person who knows otherwise… There is hope for our future.
Soon as we all get over the “my people” mentality, we can start with “I am you and you are me”.. Not family …but One people. I believe that’s the ideal behind being Christ-like. One body, One mind.
