My Sun Peedy!

A few weeks ago my eldest Sun was released from jail down south. It was good to see Peedy via Facetime not behind bars, his music has been on my website for years. Proud of Peedy he has been reaching out to family from Georgia to New York like he should. One of the ways to stop recidivism is to have a great support system once folks are released. I added Peedy to our phone plan so he could get work but with his talent he has decided to dabble into tattoos. All of the family thinks that was a great choice because his artwork is phenomenal. Peedy is one of a kind and super duper proud of him for keeping his mind positive. He called me this evening to check on me and I spoke about my dream boat and sent him the picture. Peedy has always been that child you can't keep down he could do something wrong acknowledge it and change his attitude to a happy one. Some of my kids weren't capable of doing that they would keep a miserable attitude till the cows came home. It feels good to have my Sun out and be able to talk to him without a recording telling you where they calling from. I always hated those interruptions, this call is from a yada yada jail and is subject to blah blah. Now we can speak freely without that recording interrupting us. Peedy needs for me to send him a cop of his copy written comics he produced when he was locked up.

Thinking of ways to incorporate his artwork with my project so I can put him on the projects as well. I know it's extremely hard for a Black man to find work once they are released because that stigma of jail follows them. Though Peedy's attitude is carefree I know they will judge my Sun the same as many others out here trying to turn their lives around. I don't trust his parole officer he seems to be extremely emotional person. Less than 24 hours he is talking shyt about Peedy not checking in which he had to turn around and rewrite an email stating that someone form his office didn't inform him that my Sun checked in. I emailed him back and asked him to be patient he didn't have a phone but he was trying to reach him. The SOB couldn't even have the decency to apologize after he knew he was wrong for assuming my Sun was trying to avoid him. Majority of Parole officers have the type of insecure attitude that they have the power to do something. They carry the attitude of locking somebody up after being recently released is cool or something. Don't get me wrong there are some people who deserve to go back in, because they don't have the right spirit or intentions when they are released. My issue with this dude was that he assumed before getting the facts and wrote an email threatening his freedom like that was suppose to move me. I took it as a petty Italian man that had a bone to pick with my Black Sun and he all he did was get released. It's ironic how I shoot documentaries about issues such as police brutality, racism and injustice. My life as a woman of color is always being targeted due to my Blackness. As a woman of color I have had to struggle to maintain my dignity.

Now that my Sun has been released the challenge is him staying out of jail. I also know that with humble spirit he has right now he is NOT trying to jeopardize his freedom. We all are aware that the imprisonment doesn't just affect the person incarcerated it affects the family. Most of all the mother, even though my Sun was in jail the thought of him getting killed crossed my mind numerous times. I am sure there are other sistahs that felt that way as well. I rarely talk about it because it hurts to know a loved one is being treated like a caged animal.

It seems like nowadays the cops are the ones they should be putting in jail. I find there are more stories surrounding cops abusing their power than citizens. Take into account the number of officers that went to the capital on January 6th and literally caused an insurrection. Black people were not surprised there were cops at the capital causing havoc, because we deal with injustice everyday when it comes to the justice system. The mentality of most officers is NOT to protect and serve but to hurt and assault people of color by any means they find necessary. See if police officers would look at Black people as individuals and as humans the way they treat us wouldn't have to be documented on camera. The cameras have been established to deter cops from making horrendous decisions, like masing a nine year old or handcuffing a ten year old black girl. On each one of these events officers didn't look at these kids as children but as animals. The justice system needs an overhaul we really need. to change s the laws specifically the thirteenth amendment....

Social Media restrictions for people of color...

Last week LinkedIn removed my account for speaking up and complaining about individuals that were making terroristic statements about President elect Biden. It's not surprising when social media wants to cap people of color voices online and mute them, they have the upper hand when we are on their platforms. I have been an advocate for justice and rarely back down when redneck racists come for me, I always stand my ground. Guess that is why so many of them were wanting to shut me up and probably played the victim when I referred to them as a clown. To be quite honest I really don't care because LinkedIn never made me any money so no love lost. The fact that LinkedIn in wants me to pay for premium service is a joke. After witnessing the remarks I can honestly say they did me a favor. Their actions actually helped me to downsize from some of the social media platforms that I have and make room for the ones that matter and will assist me in obtaining my goals for the future. More time to edit my videos less time scrolling on their racist platform

This whole situation that has happened at the capitol has shed light on Amerikkka. What really makes me disappointed is that these fools have shown our enemies and allies around the world we are vulnerable. America has always been a racist country and was founded by bullying the Natives, enslaving the Africans and killing the slaves the rebelled against the oppression. The visuals that we all witnessed on television substantiate my beliefs with racist culture. To see these rednecks attack the media by calling them niggers and destroying federal property I know that racism still lives deep in white America and nobody can tell me otherwise.

As a person of color I anticipate that what we witnessed won't be the last of domestic terrorism but a beginning of "The chickens coming home to roost." -Malcolm X

I have to acknowledge the warriors Shaun King and the attorney, Benjamin Lloyd Crump who has represented many of the victims families and continues to fight racist laws to protect people. I really give my hat off to them for not stoping the fight against this racist system we live in. The efforts of using Instagram and Twitter to identify the domestic terrorists that live in our country is amazing. I would like for you to sign the petition for any of the families that are currently fighting racism before you leave my blog. Thank so much for making an effort to combat racism in America.

redneck racists make history...

Yesterday the redneck racists trolled and broke into the Capitol. It was mayhem in D.C. and the sad thing about it is that those fools have children that were climbing the side of the Capitol building like monkeys. It's ironic that Black folks have been called monkeys and thugs and what I witnessed yesterday I saw a lot of rednecks acting like what they called us. What really gets me angry is that the police opened the barricades and allowed them to come in. That tells me that we have racist police siding with these rednecks so where is the justice?

During this mayhem a redneck lost her life among a few others. I don't look at this woman as hero but a redneck who received karma immediately after breaking into the capitol and not listening to the officers who told her to stop. Her children and family have to admit that the choice she made to go there to stand up for a man that was a coward was the wrong move and ended tragically taking her life. She chose a man with no backbone over her children. Take that in for a moment that she made a decision to gear up go to DC and break in the capitol for what exactly? Though she fought for this country who did she really fight for it wasn't me. It's ironic that this situation happened and definitely hurtful for her children who she thought she was proving point and lost her life doing so. I have no sympathy for this woman loosing her life because she made the choice to loose her life. She believed lies from a man who is a coward and to believe these lies for over four years she got what she was looking for a consequence of dying for a cowardly man.

What really angers me is that the police were scarce and when you look at the peaceful protest that Black Americans had last year with the Black Lives Matter. The National Guard was called in sprayed mace, hurt and maimed more that four people. There are two different laws when it comes to justice one for white America and one for Brown and Black people.

Now my mother never taught me to be racist or to recognize others skin color. Amerikkka taught me racism and what it means to be Black in Amerikkka. It was Rebecca Wilson who called me a nigger in the 5th grade, it was white racists cops that beat me and my three children at Penn Station in 1993.

I was brought up in Florida and had love from many people that were white. Alice Fox was one of my white mommas who I love to this day and showed me love unconditionally as a child. Ryan and Shanda Fox were her grandchildren who showed me love and to be honest never saw me as a threat or a thug. I use to babysit Shanda and Ryan they were my family when my mother was working. I never experienced real racism until I was an adult.

Today I feel that folks have to prove themselves to be around me because I don't trust many people Black or white. My mistrust may stem from situations in my life from being a survivor of rape, domestic violence and police brutality. Being a survivor of such heinous crimes against me, I still stand and can love others. I am grateful for my experiences because they made me the woman I am today strong assertive and fair.

My mother was disappointed with me recently because she felt that I was being racist with my statements of speaking out. I had to inform her I am not angry with her, I am angry that Amerikkka is NOT fair when it comes to people of color. The way Amerikkka has treated Black people is NOT fair especially when it comes to us protesting and standing up for human rights.

Let me be clear I have no hate for white people I despise racists that are given a pass. The scene of the capitol yesterday angered me how they could vandalize the Capitol and not be arrested immediately. In fact I saw one police officer escort a white woman down the stairs who broke into the capitol who should have been arrested immediately. As a Black woman I know if it was Black people we would have been shot and killed before we even got close to the building and that is what most Black people in America feel as well.

Blessingz and thanks for listening to me vent about this terrible situation yesterday. I wish the best for the U.S. but my goal is to purchase my Beneteau and ht the islands as soon as I can.
