STARS: Keep the Beat Going

Yes we've seen it for the past decade. Evil white police/racist kills black person.  Black people get pissed, post various memes, articles, scream #BlackLivesMatter. And depending on how fierce everything is, march, riot, etc.  The media drops everything they're doing for a couple of weeks and spotlights this. 

This dissipates for weeks and months until the trial comes and the punishment doesn't fit the crime, if it even went to trial. Blacks and others get pissed again, do more protests. 

Then the worse happens. Everyone is quiet until the next violent hate crime occurs. 

Now that's the biggest crime: knowing injustice doesn't stop and yet little is done to stop it. 

Well I'm fed up with it, especially since I'm biracial. If #BlackLivesMatter is going to truly stand up to its name after the band marches on here's what needs to happen. 

I plan on going deep in prayer and meditation with those I have trusted and vetted, black and white. 

I then put my thoughts together with these same people, even those involved with #BlackLivesMatter to vote, run for the proper office and create an action plan to mitigate and minimize these crimes. This includes calling, texting and writing every elected official that is responsible for allowing the police and even the police for not arresting these cruel bastards.

I don't plan on letting up when others are no longer talking about it. We have to get others involved, do more action than talking and marching. I have said this before and will say it again. I feel it is time we have folks with that true conviction in their hearts. The rest need to be called on their BS and also vetted. 

I feel once we have the officials we need in place and the powers to be hear the outcry and realize this is an unjust system, we will have a stronger police force that is properly paid and funded. There will be harsher punishments for these hate crimes and police will think twice before abusing that badge.
 
I know that then and only then will all other lives matter. The reason is because black lives will FINALLY matter and not just for show or when it's convenient.
 
Let's get to work. This is not practice nor a rehearsal.
