Back in the Days

by Jason   Apr 5, 2004


Back in the days, our fathers and mothers had to fight for their rights to say something. Now remember this, it had nothing to do with religion, it had to do with rights and appreciation. Had to fight for the right to be called a person not trash, and a problem that I see, is that (Nothing) has really changed. I mean for blacks, sure things are way better, but as people we seem to still treat ourselves as trash. Got people calling themselves independent and what not, that’s good for you, but what about your surroundings? What have you done to make this a better place to live in?
The crap we put on T.V. now days, is basically what I said b4 crap.
Why is it that when I am in Los Angeles I see so many people on the streets, why is it that I have so many people in my own family under the influence of drugs or achohol? Why, because we let ourselves get that way that’s why. Blacks and Jews got a little freedom and figured everything is cool now. Shoot it aint cool that we got so many people in gangs, causing havoc upon one another. It’s not cool that we as a people can not find a cure for something like A.I.D.S because we rather take our time and make more money than to just come up with a simple vaccine. If we as a people and I mean all colors and religions and beliefs, do not come together and do a lot more right than we have done in the past 2000 years, than we as a people will be destroyed within the next 50 years, believe that. So help me help you, if you have a question ask it, if you can give a helping hand, then give it, don’t just stand and stare. These people are your people too, do you really want your children to grow up degrading their selves and killing themselves over stupidness that could have been ruled out of their lives so long ago. I know I don’t. Well anyways take this to mind, and get at me with your questions and feelings if you have the time, but until and after than give helping hand.
