Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war!
Nas responsed to the beating of Derrion Albert.
Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool.--Nas
Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But....
We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, Fila sneakers, and name plate chains. Deaths over "he say, she say"!!!!! "I'm from this block or I'm from that block", or "my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay"!!!
I remember feeling like I was the hardest "n*gga" breathing. And I couldn't wait to prove it. But let's think. What are we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.
You have the ability and mindpower to change they way we are looked at. Look who's watching us young warriors, look who's throwing us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Loving to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another.
Young warriors.... We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood , Blood n Blood Out, Belly!
When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS....and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I'm with you young warriors. You're me and I'm you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war.
This sh*t sucks !!
The mentality that killed Derrion Albert is one I struggle to understand. What parent or family members pollute their children into believing they are nothing and will never be nothing. That is what killed Derrion Albert. A mentality of contemptible hatred for anyone that is doing what you ought to be doing. Instead of Obama visiting for the Olympics his visit should have been precipitated by the continued death toll of teenagers in his beloved Chicago. Derrion Albert was killed by a familiarity that breeds contempt within our black communities. Derrion Albert was killed because we don’t believe that we can be what he was working towards. Rest in Peace Derrion. The world loses too many like you and in turn is left with the reprehensible do nothings that continue the cycle of hatred and low self worth from generation to generation.
Look who's watching us young warriors, look who's throwing us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Loving to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another.
And this...
We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world.
I have no idea who "Naz" is, but this attitude is just as disgusting and destructive as the street violence that led to Derrion Albert's death, and yet I've seen these words reprinted on more than one black blog.
Basically, this person is calling for black youths to stop fighting each other so they can turn their attention to their TRUE enemy. And exactly who would that be? White people? How is this an appropriate response to Derrion Albert's death?
The true enemy ceased to be white people long ago. I do believe there is a segment of white people as well as non-white black people that think black people are little more than savages however, the true enemy of black people is the proliferation of poverty, self-hate and jealously. That’s what killed Derrion Albert and I believe that is what Naz is speaking of this goes beyond white people. As far as the justice system in this country there absolutely is still institutionalized racism. The courts don't even try to hide or disguise it. The injustice is plain in the sentences crimes for young black youths.
Hey lady....where ya been?
Sincerely,
Go
The worst failure is disunity and fighting someone who is not your enemy. A step better (but still stupid) would be unity in fighting someone who is not your enemy. Better still would be unity in fighting a common enemy. The highest form would be rising above the need to identify with groups either as friends or enemies and instead dealing with people as individuals.
