Goddamn it I’m angry. I’m angry a lot these days. I’m angry
because somewhere along the way people got their wrongs and rights upside down.
Somewhere along the way a dead 17-year old black kid became a bad guy and a
wannabe cop instigator armed with a firearm and a bullshit law became a hero;
became a symbol. A symbol for everything that still remains wrong with this
country. A symbol for things that will always be wrong in this country.
Goddamn it I’m angry. I just want to go outside and scream
at the top of my lungs. Let the anger out in ways that would probably have me
doing more time than if I stalked and murdered a black kid. This is more than
just a bogus verdict and a guilty man set free. And that’s truly what hurts the
most. This is finding out people who you know, you respect are fine with a kid
being hunted and slain because he chose to fight back. How dare a nigger
attempt to fight back? You thought it, didn’t you? Fuck you and your outdated
ideals. Outdated but updated it seems.
Goddamn it I’m angry. If it was a white kid with Skittles
and a black man with a gun you would’ve been screaming hate crime. You would’ve
been screaming lynch the fucker. Don’t scoff damn it, you know you would. Shit,
the only time you ever did like a Mexican, sorry wetback, I forgot that’s what
you called them, was when he put a gangsta boogie in the ground. Now you want
him to receive a fucking medal. Just yesterday you didn’t want him in your
country. Today you act like he did the world a service. Go on and smile Nathan
Bedford Forrest.
Goddamn it I’m angry. Because there are wrongs and rights
and those are absolute. They don’t waiver. They don’t change. But you ignore
them. You defy them. You mangle them without shame. You’re on the wrong side,
and you don’t give a shit. Someday you will. Someday you will. And I can’t
fucking wait for it.
Because Goddamn it I’m angry.
