Ferguson, Missouri: After the Ashes

How many Million Man Marches does it take for us to wake up? What do we really stand for?  Why is there no outpour of rage about black-on-black crime? Are today's voices loud enough? Thugs or future leaders? Does a conviction erase the problem?

These questions may seem simple to answer, but we are finding it very difficult to solve the problem that has keptus down as a whole. We need new voices who are not afraid to take a stand, climb a pole, or protest the system that's filled with corrupt officials power struck on racial hatred who will do whatever is necessary to keep the black man and people of color down. You're no longer hung from a tree, but now, the whippings have been replaced by guns and cops who shoot unarmed blacks. The real question is, who will be the next unarmed man to die or sister to get hung?

Be heard, be seen, and most of all be active!
