Injustice lives.
SMH.
I seriously hate when people say “It happened so long ago, get over it”. I cannot and will not simply “get over it” because the injustice is still thriving today and our history has transcended into newer, more modern forms of slavery and “getting over it” clearly did not mean the Black communities around the world to do better but rather desensitize and disconnect themselves from something that apparently is complained about too much.
How can I get over my history, how can anyone? Why are we the only ones encouraged to move on so easily? I don’t understand, and frankly I don’t care to. I will never forget, and I won’t bring up such topic during the month of February (Black History Month). Naw man, fuck that. These are my ancestors…this is my history, this is why I am here and that is why I am typing this message. Anyone who tells you to get over it, bought the lie that we are indeed free, when it in reality, it is sentiments such as these that will keep us mentally enslaved for a disturbingly long time.
