| What works
Not giving up. I live in denver co and given the numbers we have we are more separated as a people than the distance we are from the motherland. But I dont let that stop my attempts. On a internal level i work at forming a positive community by being positive. Showing brothas love by acknowledging there exsistence on the streets. Showing sistas love by being a gentlemen and helpful. On a larger more external level I have attempted to organize meetings to deal with the dirty cops, among other more positive gatherings but its tough. I spread the message with my music and poetry whenever possible and have worked with the youth to teach them about making music. And in that capacity i begin to hit them with the knowledge. And still i cannot build allies. Even the so called awake people out here dont want to work together. I started my activism trying to work with other groups and got tired of the talk and no action. But what i have learned throughout it all is to not give up. If it was easy Malcolm and Martin wouldnt have had to die and we wouldnt have the problems. I think the main question i had to be honest about and answer for myself was how far did i want to take this. How involved do i want to be. And for the sake of my seeds im ready to die for the cause.
