GIVING MEANING TO THE LANGUAGE: CIVIL AND SOCIAL UNREST

Giving
Meaning to The Language: Civil and Social Unrest
What each word means to me, is that it’s
still going on, and it gets more intense with each unexpected abusive, deadly,
lying, a black walking man alone, opportunity the police get. Do you think it’s
stopped since George Floyd’s passing? Not in any kind of way. Our world is
cracking open like and egg from all the wrong that we keep doing to each other,
and for what reason? What is the reason for hate, and bigotry, and segregation,
race issues, superiority v. inferiority, having a heart of stone? Social
unrest, Civil unrest are just lying, and waits. It’s a “Hatfield/McCoy, of a
dilemma. It’s an enigma, wrapped up in a riddle. It’s a hate that shouldn’t
have lasted this long, but suborned, downright evil has its way of lurking
through crack holes.
As
we are locked into this corona virus, trying to keep our wits about us, we in
no way in this world, could’ve stay in our homes the day of George Floyd’s
assassination on live television, and just like the unrest of what our
ancestors endured from then and now. When you want a little rain, you’ve got to
deal with a little mud too, (Denzel Washington) meaning the riots go along with
the peaceful protests these days, because “just peaceful protests”, were
not, and still are not, working. We’d go to jail, or to the morgue, and most
white people could care less which one. This portion of hate has increased
beyond what ever normal would be, because the leadership that’s in charge, are
endorsing the hate, and while we’re trying to get some sleep, he’s up wondering
what other kind of hate he can stir up in his cauldron. In my conclusion, I say,
we all have our own individual sense, brains that was GOD given, and we don’t
have to be lead by negative, evil, hateful rhetoric, because at the end of our
days, we have to answer, and what are we going to say? Or better yet, what do
you think he’s (GOD) going to say?

THE ESSAY THAT GAVE ME AN "A" WHAT'S GOING ON on MARVIN GAYE, STEVIE WONDER'S SONGS: WHAT'S GOING ON, INNER CITY BLUES, AND YOU HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING

Final Assignment: What’s Going on by Marvin Gaye
As I listen to the legendary, Mr. Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin’ On”, it reminds me of what’s been spoken for as long as I’ve been alive, and beyond. It’s always reminded me of what we’re knowing to come, but patients’ is a virtue. Predictions of our world’s future, and where it’s was headed then, and where it’s heading now. The musical genius Marvin Gaye was right in the middle, because he was raised in Los Angeles, so he saw up close, and personal the hate, the anger, the pain, the brutality, and the daily atrocities of people his own color, being killed in the streets! Riots of hunger, no jobs, no equality, and the days are long, and a black man can’t feed his own family, and this torture daily, is everywhere he turns. The world’s heavy with bloodshed that this country has caused, and the greed is one of the deadliest sins.
Oh, my Goodness!! Stevie Wonder talks about “do what you say you’re going to do”, and if you don’t, we will meet you at “Capitol Hill”!!! We will change this mess you call “Fair”, and "Dr. Martin Luther King", how important he is to this country, let alone us as black people. They’re all predicting our nations future, and that’s what was happening then. They were singing truth and like Marvin said, “Only God knows where we’re headed”. That was in the 60’s. Ask yourself this question: Since this country has been an “America”, when has it ever been a “Peaceful Country”? Why hasn’t it ever been a peaceful country? Why has this country fought for the entire time this country has been built? Does not “violence begets violence”? From George Washington, to Donald Trump, fighting is what has destroyed this place not to mention who built it, and was purposely left out, and left to rot, but what do we do each day God allows us to see, “We Rise”!!! Over and over, from the day we landed in bondage, and were forced to work, clean, cook, and make more black children, in their wretched, evil plans.
What’s going on then, is what’s going on now, history repeating itself, and the hate only tells me one thing, it will never change. It will continue if we don’t completely change the laws and include black people in this country that they were so forced to build. Why does this country insist on hating us? This has been a fight for far too long, we are here to stay, and we want that change in the personification of these songs, and so many more. These songs are revolutionary, and will be here long after we’re all gone, I listen to Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and I hear pleading in the music, because sending more and more troops to an “Already Lost War” in Vietnam, knowing they were just dying, and just considering them casualties, and not having no humanity, forcing these young babies, drafting them to die for no reason. I was young, but I remember the unrest then, as I will never forget the unrest now.
I was born right after the 65’ riots in Los Angeles, it happened August 11th,1965, I was born in October. I remember my mother telling me I didn’t want to come out, because of the riots. Exactly nine months to the day of the assassination of Mr. Malcolm X, to me, I was oh so ready to come out!!! These artists knew if it didn’t stop then, it would never stop. Just like a song I think fit this occasion, “Back Stabbers”!!! they’ve used us for their government low-income programs. If you don’t mind another song that allowed us to investigate the 90’s, and that’s “I’m fed up”, by Tupac Shakur. A visionary, born in prison, his mother was a black panther, and his Godfather. He was taught very early to read the newspapers to understand the world. Now some would call him a ‘thug’, or a gang banger, but no, he graduated from Baltimore Academy of the Arts. But the sign of those times was police brutality, gangs changing their lives, and putting it on wax, but the police started taking it as though the music, something so lovely as music, being a threat to them. Songs from Stevie, and Marvin, and so many more, were singing about civil, and social unrest then, and as today’s young black men that mostly rap, are screaming the exact same.
I said before, Civil and Social unrest will never rest (in peace) until we all have that so called, “American Dream”? Which to me is called “Survival”, because that’s all we know. In my conclusion, without all these strong components like songs, and education, and history, we wouldn’t understand how far we’ve come. I say, 600 years is long enough for anyone/thing to change, and not to even want to this, is an abomination, because you stop the world from growing and being what it’s naturally here to be, a place we can ALL, call home.
Have you as a black person, felt at home yet?

THE LONG BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY: THEY VIOLATED MY RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF MY DISABLES FAMILY MEMBERS, AND NO ONE WOULD HELP
I'VE LIVED IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA SINCE I WAS SIXTEEN. MY OLDEST CHILD WAS TWO YEARS OLD, HE'S NOW 39, AND A GOOD MAN. MY OTHER TWO CHILDREN ARE DOING THE SAME, BEING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS, HAVE THEIR FAMILIES, AND JUST LIVING THEIR BEST LIVES. WELL, AS YOU KNOW TIME GOES BY, LIFE HAPPENS, AND YOU FIND YOURSELF TAKING CARE OF FAMILY, FOR WHAT EVER REASON THEY NEED YOUR HELP. WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPEN TO ME. IN 2013, I BECAME THE CONSERVATOR OF MY NIECE, NOT TO MENTION MY YOUNGEST SON HAD A SET BACK OF HIS MENTAL ILLNESS, AND THEN IN 2017, MY OLDEST BROTHER, HAS RENAL FAILURE, AND BLINDNESS, AND HE NEEDED TO BE WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE HE COULD NO LONGER LIVE ALONE. SO, THERE I AM, DOING ALL I CAN TO HELP MY FAMILY, I HAD NO TIME TO THINK OF MY SELF, OF IF MY HOUSING WOULD EXCEPT ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER. THEY DID. WHAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO WAS TAKE MY SON BACK ON MY VOUCHER. NOW MIND YOU, WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED HOUSING, MY SON WAS RIGHT THERE, SO THE LADY MISS JOI DAILEY, AT ONE TIME WHEN WE FIRST MET, SHE WAS THE NICEST PERSON I HAD MET THERE. SO,
I DON'T WHAT SHE THOUGHT I WAS DOING WHEN I ASKED COULD MY SON COME BACK HOME TO STAY WITH ME SO I COULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF HIM. I WASN'T JUST HIS CARETAKER, HE'S MY YOUNGEST CHILD, AND HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SCHITZO-EFFECTIVE BI-POLAR DISORDER WHEN HE WAS 21. HE HAD THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER, WHEN THIS DISEASE CHANGED HIS ENTIRE LIFE. AND WHEN HE MOVED OUT, HE WASN'T DOING SO WELL, SO HE CHOSE TO MOVE OUT, AND THAT'S WHEN CALLED HOUSING BACK IN 2013. WELL, THIS WAS 2016, AND MY SON STARTED NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE, BECAUSE HE HAD DIABETES AS AN EFFECT OF HIS MENTAL HEALTH MEDICINES. SO, WHEN I ASKED MISS DAILEY, IT DIDN'T EVEN OCCUR TO ME THAT SHE WOULD SAY NO, AFTER ALL SHE LET MY BROTHER COME STAY, AND SHE KNEW THAT I WAS CONSERVATOR OF MY NIECE, SO I HAD NO IDEA SHE WOULD SAY NO BECAUSE HE WAS DISABLED. I ASKED MISS DAILEY, AND I QUOTE, "DO YOU HAVE A SON MISS DAILEY?" SHE SAID I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION!" SO ONE DAY I RECIEVED A PHONE CALL FROM MY ACTUAL PERSON THAT WORKED ON MY CASE, SAYING TO ME, CONGRATULATIONS MISS BROWN, YOU'RE ABOUT GRADUATE FROM THE PROGRAM" MISS BROWN, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY !" SO I WAS FRANTIC, AND MISS DAILEY WASN'T WORKING THAT DAY SO I ADKED FOR THE SUPERVISOR. I TOLD THE SUPERVISOR THAT I MAY BE GETTING SUT UP JUS T BECAUSE I ASK COULD I LIVE WITH MY SON SO I COULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF HIM. I WAS BEYOND DISTRAUGHT, I WAS A MESS. SO, THE NEXT MORMING HER SUPERVISOR AND HER (MISS DAILEY), TOLD ME MY SON COULD STAY. WELL, MISS DAILEY WAS NEVER THE SAME TOWARD ME AGAIN. THEN, THE FIX. SHE AND MISS ALISON KING PLOTTED TO KEEP FROM GIVING ME A THREE BEDROOM VOCHER, AND I HAD TWO THREE BEDROOM HOMES LINED UP . MISS KING HATEFULLY SAID, "I'M ONLY GIVING YOU A TWO BEDROOM!", AS THOUGH SH E WAS SAYING METOFORICLY SPEAKING
