A Response to Recent Riots

There are just so many people who are angry… So many who are just itching for a reason to release that pent up energy… These high charged and intense emotions spill out… People want someone to blame, people are looking for a scapegoat to carry out their excess frustrations on under the veneer of righteous anger. Is it really righteous to harm the community? So many answer to a false call to arms… Is it necessary to inflict violence and harm against a fellow community member who has nothing to do with the reason one is upset? Is it righteous to destroy their livelihood in the process? It is sad that so many place more value on one’s melanin content and phenotype over their deeds, accomplishments, and character.
