What if the shooter was black

This is dedicated to the police and my peeps, first those police, who got so much evidence to solve a damn crime, that even Ray Charles with him being blind could see this is a tragedy, yet its a travesty that some of y'all dont even care about your own profession, then you wonder why you aint progressin with your relationship within the community, but I aint here to bash all yall, cause even though this is an angry black man express, I must confess that yes, I know a lot of yall under a lot of stress, cause if someone was callin me a pig everyday, and sayin F me, I'd probably say F U right back, now, lets get to my peeps, my black peeps, see someone hit up Al Sharpton and the NAACP, some of em even marched the streets, holdin up signs sayin No Justice, No Peace, so I went back to the lab and wrote my own piece entitled, "What if The Shooter was Black," as a matter of fact, we'll just make a brother a shooter, hell, we'll even arm him with the ruger so the chances of death are most likely to come, cause if that boy woulda fell victim to a gun from his own skin tone, it'll be just another brother dead, see I seen it everyday on those East Chicago streets, peeps walkin up and down the streets, for someone to jump out they house and say, a Folk, a Lord, whatchu doin walkin down my block, and all of a sudden, he get popped, but it aint OMG it need to stop, its Stop Snitchin, but now we in, cause now black boy gets popped walkin down majority white mans black, all of a sudden its OMG, we need to stop, and now we stitched from a different cloth, so I'm a take that cloth and sew me up a hoodie that says No Justice, No Peace, go buy some Skittles and an Arizona Green Tea, scream OMG it need to stop, but the minute Lebron James flops on another last second shot, yall gone forget bout this and be right back on FB downgrading one of ya own to a , see I love these FB activists, because the one word in activist is ACT, cause thats what 90% of folks doin, actin like they care, when they know they just scrollin down hittin like, click "share," same thing they did with Kony, cause to say that most researched his whole situation was bologna, so now I'm bout to go ham on these sandwichs, cause a lil after Trayvon, they was pullin triggers in Chi-town over the weekend, and by weeks end, it was 41 people shot, a 1 year old, 5 year old, the baby's mama, and at the end of all that, 7 people took permanent dirt naps, but you wonder why folks aint on FB talkin bout that, angry in they stats, with their WORDS IN ALL CAPS, its cause all of the shooters was black, or in our terms, those trigger men were men, its like we coo with our own self abuse, but cant no one else self abuse us, its like we tellin the world, "HEY, WE CAN KILL US," but cant nobody else kill us, now dont get it twisted, I aint sayin it wasnt unjust, do I wanna see Zimmerman thrown under the bus, yea I do, cause murder is murder, but get this, we still the main reason for our own destruction, cause even after I give you this piece, brothers still gone be bustin, and they probably gone have they hoodie on, cause even though we too proud to admit it , we have taught the world how we want them to treat us, cause in they mind, we'll be fine by weekends time, cause just like Troy Davis, we gone be pissed mid week, come Friday we'll be at the bar with a drink, tearin up the dance floor, gone off that hen, only to turn around and ask, "Whats that lil name again?," just like that, subject forgotten, cause we let the media subject ourselves to what we should be subjected too, so until brothers drop the red and blue, until they quit throwin pitchforks in the air, until they quit spray painting canes and 21 brick pyramids on walls, we gone still be the primary reason for our downfall, see this aint slavery, cause physically we free, but mentally we in a damn health crisis, cause the problem don't come with the marching and fighting, the problem comes with the commitment, cause for us, its here today, gone tomorrow, so how you expect anyone to have sympathy for our sorrow, when we don't even have sympathy for our damn selves, its like we livin in a world with Santa and his thousand elves, yet the only Christmas gift we givin to everybody else, are the tools for our own extinction
