Heavy reminder... I'm hit.
This was the anniversary of my oldest son's friend Javon's death in a motorcycle crash.

His brother Jaden was the killer/suicide from what I gather. They lived in the house diagonally across the street from us. When I was growing up only white people did stuff like this. Black folks just didn't get down like this for the most part but I'm seeing it more and more now. I blame falling away from family values as a result of integration. Before, and even during slavery we got that they were the ops not us, but we always tried to accept them.

I think we need to do our best to reconcile with our people, and let them know that even if we don't agree, even if we're not heading in the same direction, even if we can't be close that we still value them. That they are valuable to our struggle.

We don't love the hypocrite, but at the end of the day he has to come home and be humble, else the necktie. Even at that crossroad I would urge a speedy dispatch (mercy kill), but some of y'all want to SEE them suffer.

We know that in the end unity is better. Always the goal. Ori... the spark of Olodumari [divine self or RA] within. Muslims say "Say He Allah is one"... Let's try to remember that reminders are mercy, and unity is better.
