Disrespect of the Black Race
Something has been troubling my mind for a very long time. After the murder of Eric Gardner, there has been some shootings going on. I recently heard a 18 years old black men has been shot by a police officer. Someone who was supposed to uphold the law...to protect and serve is the moto. But maybe what the police department means is to protect and serve ourselves not the black people... That is probably the truth. The more I am growing up, the more I understand where Malcom X is coming from...Maybe he was right about separating the blacks from the system. Maybe America is not our home. It is not a black man's home, a Latino's home, nor an Asian's home. I want all people who are white to not be offended. I know there are a lot of genuine people that are white: the ones in the blog for example, and some of my friends. I also know few of them that are well-known: Nikola Tesla, George Carlin, John Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and many more. However, there are still some of them, if not a lot that still continues the suppression of black people. I don't know. If anyone ask me if I am proud of being American, I will just say straight: No. How can I be? The greatest country in the world, or should I say self-proclaimed #1, promotes racism, violence, negativity in the media and you want me to be proud of that? Are you kidding me? Never. I cannot be proud of something so corrupted. Look at what we are watching too on TV. We are so drawn into MMA, sport fighting, violent movies, fast food and all kind of shit. There is no way that I can be proud of such country. The people in power needs to fix it before I can be proud of it. I don't know maybe I will be the next target one day. The headline probably will be "FMK student died from police shooting!". And what even bothers me still is that the cops will still be around doing the same thing over and over again.... How can I have any hope for this piece of shit country? How... I am sorry I just cannot. That is why teaching the Martial Arts in America is too difficult. The population is not ready for that because they are too corrupted. I might as well just communicate the Martial Arts to the people that really understand me. Not to these police officers though because they might use it against you..especially if you are black. My thoughts are all over the place. I want to apologize for anything that I say to offend anyone but I just cannot hide my emotions anymore. I had to let it out somehow.

Humans have the intelligence to understand that the concept of race and/or sexes is limiting ourselves. But our society has accepted those concept. It is normal to protect our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, our entire family etc.. But evolution is accepting the fact that we're one. If an individual or some individuals make some problems, it is those individuals in questions that have to be delt with and not a race or whatever. Horrible crimes have been made towards people for the worst reasons ever. Animals are suffering too, like crazy, the planet too. Shits deep, our brain is a double edge sword, a power that too many people use for atrocities. I could'nt care two shits about a violent video games if it was just that. But the truth is simply that it reflects how we are attracted to violence. At the same time, the conditions of the Universe we live in are very violent so it is a normal thing that it reflects its violence inside of us. Only if we could focus that vigor, that aggressivity towards somethings positive, of course that would be better. We could exchange on those topics forever and ever. Just tell yourself that if your doing your best to strive towards peace, to be peace itself, your doing your job. Then you become a exemple for those around you and that's nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWell Said!
DeleteIt's normal at the beginning phases of enlightenment to be pretty frustrated with this world but in time the frustration will slowly start to disappear and you will learn to just accept the way things are and learn to flow with it like water.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sifu. Sorry if I did not train yesterday. But I really miss this training though! Damn... I want to get back to it so bad.
DeleteI know how you feel.. I had a black friend I use to skateboard with and everytime he came over to my place people would close there windows and peek outside.
ReplyDeleteI guess they where having the phone ready to call the cops.
Damn...that's messed up. They were that scared of him??
DeleteI agree with you kang
ReplyDeleteThis blog reminds me of what Fonzie said in Happy Days. I think it went something like this: "Wether your black or wight don't matter. All that matters is if you're cool or you're a nerd".
ReplyDeleteGood Blog :)
