I feel like this is a democracy,
How black men go to jail chronologically
Most of us was raised by our mother's, 
that's why its so easy for the streets to conceive our brother's,
I  saw us unified and going upstream,
Cause when we vote we change things,
that was my dream just like Martin Luther king.

Us youth, having the right to vote would give us a chance to voice our opinion.

One side powerful, strong, and indestructable. While the other scared, nervous, and anxious. One side rent through centuries of torment by the other side simply because their fear. The strong side trimphed over struggle and the scared side wouldn't stop oppresion, discramation, and injustice on the strong side. The strong side wanted justice and peace not retaliation. So the weak joined the strong in an alliance to keep peace among to the two. So after their alliance came together like glue.]]> 2020-09-17 19:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/756744645 Joseph Smith https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/756948096 Voice, Unity, Power
We all have that power to change this generation
Us as young black men and women have the obligation to speak up and say something, to put in these brain washed people’s heads that we want our rights!
If we want to fulfill our hopes and dreams, we have to unify as one PEACEFULLY and demand our rights.
We have to be willing to fight that challenge there going to put in our path, but power, knowledge, and positivity will get where we need to be. 
Everything is always a process, so remember, “Voice, Unity, Power”

But not many want to talk about the truth about freedom. They say Blacks are free, but living in fear and hope to not end up like the others;dead. What some blacks don´t know is that we are Americans nightmares. Blacks are fight for real freedom and real democracy. Trump says make America great again but what he is really is saying get power over blacks again. And all of Trumps followers are complicit and showing how much they hate blacks. ]]> 2020-09-17 22:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/757140896 Lily Bennett lrbennett https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/757378424 It’s not enough, It’s not enough.  Silent witness, constrained, troubling thoughts, unholy oppression, nightmare, soul-wrenching, an obligation to redeem power.  You must do something, let freedom ring, extraordinary vision, non-violent, union, urge, stand up, human dignity. “Necessary Trouble”.

Being black in America 
It’s hard being black in America.
Oppression is a major act just by being black.
Being a target bc your “trouble”
Being disrespected bc your seen as a “threat” 
Exploitation should not happen.
We need peace. 
The most powerful obligation we can display is our voice.
The way we get treated is soul wrenching. 
It’s embarrassing how people act over a skin color. 
Police brutality is a major complicit crime that many cops don’t get charged for. 
Violence shouldn’t be an option. 
Blacks should be respected with human dignity.

but your the first one to say
All lives matter
You like to degrade my racist
It's funny how you tell people of color to go back to were they came from 
but you stole us and this country too
So before you say something educate yourself
On the history and the pain that you put us through
Don't forget that we built this country on our backs
Black Lives Matter and that's a fact.]]> 2020-09-18 16:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/759529559 Naiya Bailey nmbailey2 https://padlet.com/wvweaver/8ujfd16txp9ii3xu/wish/759537334 humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time.

Nothing but Unholy oppression, unchecked, unrestrained, violence and government sanctioned terror. 
Nothing but aggression and war 
Nothing but violence 
Nothing but division
Nothing but injustice
You must do something. Democracy is not a state.
Searching for a way out or some might say a way in,
But the truth is still marching on.
