No Role Modelz

Listen closely to this song. In this week episode we have learned that we should Own our tv networks, sports league, EVERYTHING. First let me say I don’t like comparing struggles/ oppression. For example the holocaust to slavery. People have died. Period. It happened and we have to gather ourselves and forgive people. I get it. Mentally we are conditioned in the worst way. All we know is pain. Some try to get away with substance abuse, even hurting themselves. Daring life to cut yourself short. But why we cannot have difficult conversations. We are ready for it. Soon we say “ history has taught us…” things get weird and people get fired. I know Nick Cannon said some shit to piss people off but he was just having a conversation. See this goes both ways. When a white person says the N-word in my opinion we shouldn’t kick him/her off the island(tv,radio,or some non important thing)but we should educate them. Take them to the ghetto and show them what oppression looks like. Let them work minimum wage jobs for two months and see if they can pay their bills with it. I feel like we have to educate! This is why I love teachers. The ability to expand a child mind with useful I formation is a great thing. But that’s were we fail at the most. I was talking about history not is not in the books and my wife says “ they should be teaching Juneteenth in the classrooms”. I simply laughed, only because I been preaching this my whole life. I feel like teachers should be getting paid the most. They are essential workers right next to doctors and nurses. I remember reading a textbook of world war 2 and it went like this… the axis (Germans, Italy, Japan )provoked the U.S and forced us to go to war. D-day happened and we won the war. Amazing story. How can we learn anything that way. Sounds like propaganda, doesn’t it? See we did not learn of the holocaust, slavery, the women suffrage, the killing of native Americans. In fact we celebrated colonizers and rapist. The point I’m getting to is that we have to educate ourselves because this rigged system is a failed state. Shit I didn’t know anything about my heritage and my Puerto Rican people till I read our history. Most of us are disconnected. But we can fix it. We have to start with the foundation. The word TEACH is the key. Do not fire people. Teach them. Once educated the are no excuses. I know there are going to be people that will never change their minds of their bigot ways but at least we can try to do some real change. See there is no real role model that can show you the way. Read your history. Read all of history. It repeats itself. There is a misunderstanding among ourselves. When you see why we have to own our own shit, It’s obvious and when you are ready for that conversation let me know.

Peace and Love
