Fuck the Military


So the military is every where!
Men from it try to get with me which sucks because I want a man!
I have some family who are proud members!
My cousin is thinking about joining it.

Honestly, I hate the military with the deepest passion ever!
Then people get mad at me because I choose to scorn and hate something so sexist, racist, hateful, and deadly ever. My ex-boyfriend joined the Navy and completely flipped. Sad part was he actually read and was very smart. Having a man that reads is a big deal and rare!He completly changed and does not speak to me anymore because I bad mouthed the military.

But lets think critically, lets say you live in Los Angeles. Imagine soldiers taking your streets, knocking on your doors and shooting you on site along with your kids or your parents or both. What if this was happening every day for years and years! How can you work for something so barbaric. Who is the damn terrorists? This is called the United States military.
I have heard the quote, "Obama cannot do everything, he inherited this war," so many times and this is bull shit! Civilian casualties are rising, why the fuck are American troops killing civilians then !!!If these men are crazy then take them out of there. When raids are killing children and families, please defend our so-called President and the military. I understand why people join it your broke, you couldn't get into college, you feel important whatever the fuck yo reasoning is doesn't defend the craziest psychotic institution of the military. You change and develop the most disgusting habits and they turn humans into killers.
I don't have any hope for this nation! It needs to be destroyed if they are allowing this to happen to innocent people. We as so-called citizens need to feel disgusted that our gov't is fine with troops killing innocent people for no fucking reason and completly oppose this war including the commander in chief Barack !!!
FUCK THE SYSTEM !
Peace~

Sorry I have been gone

Hey all sorry I have been gone for a while,
Something I want to discuss is Black organizing. I have noticed a lot of conflict with it. When I was in high school, I was a str8 up liberal because that was fed to me and I kept reading and reading and reading about it. I read and analyzed every single Martin Luther King Jr. speech. I was not exposed to militant and/or radical organizers. I had mixed emotions about nonviolence but I was mostly for it since the Civil Rights Movement was the cause of many rights granted to Blacks. I was aware of the oppression because I saw it in my neighborhood with every Black boy I ever known in my neighborhood winding up in prison and other things. During high school when I was the president of the Black Student Union, I was all about educating myself as well as Blacks about our people and issues since we did not learn about it in the classroom. This was extremely difficult since I did not know everything and my advisors were not that big of a help either. Still we had discussions and readings every now and then and I was proud that we were on that path. This Black man did not believe in ethnic groups and told me that we should have only multicultural groups where everyone is welcome. I didn't believe in that melting pot bullshit because we are all different and Blacks should have the opportunity to lead and have a space where they can come together and celebrate their community. He was in the multicultural group at my high school. Then there was this member who called me an idiot because all we do is read and talk. He told me that reading is not going to help the community. He said we should be in front of the people talking to them about issues like Black on Black crime and gang violence. I told him I agree but we have to read while we are doing that too and we cannot just roll up on the community when we don't know what we are talking about. I also told him if he has connections then to set it up and I will support him. Unfortunately, he was all talk and came to 2 more BSU meetings and got tired of it. I learned so much from my BSU and at the end of my senior year I began reading about other BSUs and what they did in the communities. My racist white high school first ethnic org. was the BSU who happened to be very political at the time. Unfortunately, there was a lot of drama and it was overrun by some crazy bougie Black women and the politics were lost. So I thought when I go to college, the politics and organizing will be on point.

As I start reading more about grass roots organizing and Third World people, I noticed that the nonviolence liberal approach don't work! When your brothers and sisters are being killed, tortured, all over the world I am not gonna have a peaceful march about it. I'm going to get locked and loaded !!! MLK inspired a lot of people including me but I am nonviolent up until somebody wants to get violent with me. As I have been reading about Black organizers such as Garvey, Huey, and Malcolm I notice that there is division especially after reading a ton about the Civil Rights Movement. But there is division in all organizing especially with the working class and bougie folks. Working unity NOT unity but a working unity is critical for revolutionary change. People are all about unity but if you don't trust the people you are organizing with then it is not working unity. If there is division then how can the revolution happen?
These are just some of my thoughts after doing some reading. Peace~
