What Has Change
Martin Luther King Jr said, “fierce urgency of now.” The African American experience in the United States has been marked by a long and arduous journey towards equality, justice, and empowerment. I hope I will not say anything that you did not know, but few will have no idea. This information is to help you get off your colonized, apathetic, dysfunction mind. You are only complaining and making dance videos and scrolling through mindless videos to get your news and stay program to how The Big Bad wolf wants you to think and act. How do the wolf want you to act, by not voting, taking care of your mental health, asking for help and suffering in silence.
African Americans have continually faced systemic oppression and racial discrimination, but they have also demonstrated immense resilience, strength, and a relentless pursuit of freedom. Today, as I reflect upon the present situation, it becomes evident that the urgency of the fierce now for African Americans is crucial. You have broken the family, the child, the man, the women because of anger and traumatic issues. We need to explore the pressing need to address the challenges faced by African Americans and emphasizes the importance of empowering this community to foster a more just and inclusive society. The marching and sign waving days are over, we need you to get out of your way and do. Do what? How about donate blood for sickle cell patience because we need matching blood to help the many African Americans suffering from sickle cell. How about showing up to your child’s school or just calling the school to check on your child’s progress. How about asking for help to allow the resources that are available to help you get in better economical, physical, and mental health.
African Americans have endured centuries of slavery, segregation, and institutionalized racism, which have left deep scars on society. This issue has left you with excuses not to make a change. It has left you blinded by depression and chaos. I need you to do what I have already suggested.
Racism has been deeply ingrained in societies worldwide, perpetuating systemic injustices and inequalities, but it has left you mentally weak. Which why, I will say that the past African Americans were resilience, but if you were born after 1960’s you are not resilient you are just selfish and broken to community. African Americans have long been subjected to the adverse effects of racism, leading to significant disparities in various aspects of their lives. Racism and its impact on the deconstruction of African Americans, focusing on health, education, and social-economic factors. The legacy of slavery continues to reverberate through generations, leading to persistent disparities in education, employment, housing, and criminal justice.
You and I are allowing this separation to keep reverberating because, we are not getting people to the polls, not mentoring, not letting your black girls and boys see successful African American adults in the schools and the impoverish neighborhoods, and not getting our churches activated to do better.
Despite strides towards progress in civil rights, the fight for equality and justice remains far from over. The civil rights made African Americans lazy and sick with sadness. The urgency to address the challenges faced by African Americans is rooted in the historical injustices that have shaped their present circumstances. Urgency does not mean to be angry or emotionally disturbed. Racial discrimination has profound implications on the health and well-being of African Americans. Studies consistently reveal a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, within this community.
These disparities are a consequence of multiple factors, including limited access to healthcare, environmental racism, and chronic stress resulting from experiences of racism. The unequal distribution of resources, coupled with the persistent racial bias in healthcare systems, further exacerbates these health disparities. Here is what is your problem, and that is not advocating for yourself. Asking questions when you do not understand. Changing they way you eat and exercising, but most above all take action into your own health, which why I have said African Americans are emotionally fractured is why they are not able to do. To get better you must ask for help.
We already have genetic trauma being passed down from generation to generation. We don’t need you to be lazy when you don’t know how to ask.
Systemic racism is deeply entrenched in American creation, perpetuating social, economic, and political inequities that disproportionately affect African Americans. Educational disparities, for instance, contribute to limited opportunities and hinder upward mobility. Education is also the broken in the families of African Americans because they are raising angry, disrespectful, dysfunctional children. These children are heading to prison because of emotional sickness to trauma. This leads to the achievement gap, unequal access, and insufficient resources perpetuate a cycle of disadvantage. Economic disparities, including disparities in income, wealth, and employment, further exacerbate inequalities, leading to socioeconomic barriers that hinder progress. Now let us not forget about the injustice system has disproportionately targeted African Americans, leading to mass incarceration and a perpetuation of racial bias.
African Americans are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and receive harsher sentences compared to their white counterparts, even for similar offenses. This systemic bias perpetuates a cycle of injustice, further marginalizing African American communities and inhibiting their ability to thrive. You are allowing the mass incarceration and the injustice system to thrive because of All the previous reasons I stated about what you are not doing. Raising healthy children, emotionally, and physically, being a part of their educational process by calling and showing up, taking an active role in local elections, and there is much more. Urgent reforms are needed to address racial disparities in the criminal justice system and create a fair and equitable society for all. The fierce urgency of now calls upon African Americans to actively engage in shaping their own future. Meaningful participation in the democratic process, including voting, running for office, and advocating for policy changes, is essential to effecting meaningful change. By amplifying their voices and demanding accountability from, African Americans and the communities they belong to or serve. That is service by a few is not going to be enough. We need the service of many. I have suggested how you can serve the change we desperately need.
