Being disconnected from your intuition is dangerous.💯

Sumtymes u gotta let them long term ppl go n do for you ijs

What going on out there #mp

Jamaicans
I got much respect for y’all…
I really do…
Y’all burned down that hotel on
Your homeland, cos
They don’t invite black people

I respect y’all
Cos y’all got dignity and respect
For yourselves….
Don’t lose it, please don’t….

What y’all did should expand
That energy to black people all over the world….
Y’all didn’t march y’all didn’t beg…not that I know of

But I’m proud of y’all
From the bottom of my heart….

If Jamaicans can burn that
Colonizer’s shit, imagine us
Doin that in America…burnin everythin
Down cos we sick and tired of being
Mistreated…of being treated like
Animals….

And we’re human beings….

Y’all see
Our actions speak violence, too
We speak it right back at y’all….

Don’t even try
That reverse racism bull shit
Asians and Caucasians build a hotel
On an island where Jamaicans live
Jamaica
Somehow
Asians and Caucasians
Didn’t invite us…..
On our own home…

Guess what
Jamaicans burned it
All up in flames….
I’m not from Jamaica
But Jamaicans are my people…..
No matter what…..

I wish we all black people can think like y’all
Revolution
Revenge
And y’all don’t play….

Over here
In America
Many black Americans
Don’t wanna have respect and dignity
I’m sorry to say that
That it’s true…
We don’t wanna burn anythin down
We don’t wanna go fuck the cop up
For killin a black child
We don’t wanna protect black women
From goin missin….
We don’t have a fight back against white supremacy mindset
There are just a few…only a few…

So Jamaicans
Honestly
Y’all are our prime example
Of revolution
Fightin back with violence….
Y’all give me hope
Y’all give Africa diasporas hope

Is it necessary to say thank y’all?
Or appreciate y’all ?
Is that appropriate?
