A Step to Change-- Action required!

Hi, 

I, as well as countless Americans, feel as though police officers and sheriffs need to be held MORE accountable for their actions and force used in EVERY arrest, case, traffic stop, etc. to ensure that their jobs of protecting Americans are fulfilled. We need to feel safer with the sight and presence of police officers than feeling more in danger with them. 

That's why I created a petition to The South Carolina State House, The South Carolina State Senate, Governor Nikki R. Haley, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama, which says:

"Please sign this petition for the United States government to REQUIRE Public Safety committees in every county, city, and or state in order to hold police departments and officers accountable for their actions and accusations against them. Including but not limited to the following: reviewing any cases against an officer for racial profiling, reviewing complaints and legal investigation of unlawful acts, ensure that police officers are not abusing their power & authority that violates police policy, and ensure peace and resolution between police officers and civilians by promoting community unity and police cooperation. Please refer to the following link for more information on civilian oversight: http://www.vera.org/sites/default/files/resources/downloads/Civilian_oversight.pdf" 

Will you sign my petition? Click here to add your name:

Thanks!

An Emotionless Man...

Image
Is not human.     He is a depiction of who society wants him to be. Is not normal.     He is a fiction character out of books you read and movies you see. Is not at fault.     He simply does not have a price to pay, any flaws or mistakes. Is not real.      He's consequently the boss of his own life he takes and to himself, he gives. Is "not filled with emotions"       He's robotic like emojis and refuses to emote his emotions to mean what he says and feels. He is an Emotionless Man and he is less than the man you would want to be with. In today's society, men are taught that they cannot show or have emotions or feelings. If they do, they cannot display it; they "must be stronger than every other person in the world." They might not always verbalize this unsaid and conditioned rule but it is well known amongst the male species. They are not taught how to balance or manage their feelings but bury it under th...

The Chronicles of Racial Battle Fatigue (2017)

(Edited; Originally set to post in 2017) Please keep in mind that this information is based on some facts and from experiences. Do not take anything as personal or as an attack on white people or white culture. Neither do I find myself superior to or discriminatory against the Caucasian race; prejudices and stereotypes may be shared. If you do not know or understand what these words mean (they are often confused with one another), please feel free to ask through comments or simply open another tab/look them up in the dictionary. Here is a message to my white friends: "There are a lot of things I must educate you on but feel as though it would not be worth it. You have made the focus and played victim for so long for issues that do not directly impact you but the fact is you are the problem. I will not keep my mouth shut and honestly, now that I have gone to college and about to receive my degree, I have learned many more things and experiences that I have yet to share w...

Stop Pride 2019

Image
It's a movement!!!! First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! With a new year, comes new responsibilities to self. One responsibility I promised myself to keep is to STOP PRiDE! Yes, small "I." This is a new movement, a new challenge that I think I am ready to accomplish and I hope to inspire you to join me! There's just one thing... how can you stop something that you may be blind to?!? OUCH! That hurt even as I typed it. Pride will have you completely blinded by YOU! You are and will stand in your own way without even realizing it. So let's tackle this together: what is Pride (and no, not the film). "Pride: a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." Most also know pride to be our ego. It is the thing that tells you that you are right and justified for feeling the way you feel about somethi...
