- The video pretty
much says it all:
-
-
- In 2005 Katrina
made me lose it. The obvious racism of that response
coupled with a ridiculous war in Iraq made me quit my
job, fly to DC and protest. I documented everything
in The Journey with videos and songs... I kept
pushing, eventually leading to Lets Bomb
Iran a political cartoon that became my first
national exposure.
-
- Speaking up and
using this platform defined The Journey and its
at the core of who I am.
-
- Im sure
you can see where this is going...
-
- ...not being
part of these protests is eating at me. In a
different time I would be LIVING within these protests
and documenting all of it. I wouldnt care about
the virus, I would sacrifice my health or even my life
to make this statement. Its that
important.
-
- However
its not more important than my
immuno-compromised child. So I watch. I watch with
pride. I see the future being rebuilt in front of my
eyes and its the first time I see the virus
being a positive. Being pent up made people BREAK
OUT. Not for fucking haircuts, for a revolution. To
fundamentally change this country.
-
- If you refuse
to treat a segment of your population as human you
deserve exactly what you get. I want white people to
be terrified. I want cops to be terrified. Because
right now, at worst, its burning down a couple
buildings or tearing down some statues. If we as a
society dont listen, you dont want to see
the 2025 protests. Theyll be silent.
Theyll be random terrorist attacks with no end
in sight.
-
- Its time.
Rebuild the police from the ground
up.

-
- The voice-over
really says it all. It's hard knowing something you
believe in has to be handled remotely. This is all I
can do and continue to raise my voice online. I feel
impotent, but thankfully others are picking up the
slack.
-
- Power to the
People.
