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?

BLAQQUESUGA'S POETRY

THE MIND OF A STRONG BLAQQUE, WOMAN 


Stay back, you’re not black it’s nowhere near, your habitat,
Who do you think are? You’re not black by far but want to be that star.
How could you be? You can never be me. My melanin is so very natural;
And no matter how you desire, that is an “Actual Factual”!!!
You want to take our women, and men, just to separate our families again,
And it’s not just a matter of time, just a matter of when.
Turning our men and women’s head with your deviant racism, and hate,
And as sure as we turn on each other, you look forward to it, you can’t wait!

You’ve created the loathing and havoc that’s put on us in these states
You’ve made our lives a living hell, and now, what do you think is you fate?
What goes around surely comes back around, are assuredly the Karma’s that be,
I can’t date, out my race, what do you know about me?
You put us down, whenever you’re around, you can’t lay next to me.
No matter what you say and how you say it,
No matter what you play, and how you play it,
There’s no way on God’s green earth, you could ever be me, and there’s no way on this earth you could ever see, me.

For we are the chosen ones, and you made us “the stolen ones”!!
To be in this country, without an invitation, and no appreciation,
and with what we’ve gone through, we’ve developed our own “Education”.
We’re so black, and you’re so “Red, White, and Blue
You’re were busy making us your “Slaves
When in fact, it was Us, teaching you!

We taught you strength, we taught you compassion
We taught you love, and we taught you, all in black fashion.
You’d try to break us down, rape, and beat us for a while,
But in all you tried to do us, you knew we still had style.
Because it’s not what you do before you get too old,
It’s about doing it with style, grace, and soul.
