A sad day for Black America

At 12:35 am Stanley Tookie Williams was killed by lethal injection at the San Quentin correctional facility. I know you all have heard but I just want to take a minute to encourage you all not to support the death penalty. Not only because I feel that it should be left up to God who lives or dies. It shouldn't be the right of the U.S government as to whether one should live or die. The conservatives are anti-abortion "it's a life, a heartbeat," they say, but they have no problem with the heart that beats in the prison system or in our own U.S military, or for people in other countries, who like us, just want their freedom. As blackAmericans, we shouldn't support the death penalty because our skin is jam packed among the prison walls. We make up six percent of the population but eighty percent of the prison population. We look like fools supporting the death penalty! Surely all eighty percent of us in there aren't guilty. If this is the case, what they said about us during slavery and the negative self images that have been programmed into our brains there after must be true. We must really be good for nothing. We must really be stupid. We must really be criminals. We must be, if they saw fit to let us be the ones to fill up all of these prisons that they keep building. As long as we allow it to happen, as long as we don't stand up, it will continue to happen. And with our people making up eighty percent of the population (8 out of 10 on death row), and the way they are building prisons, how long will it be before you or I too will have a cell.
I'd like to thank the countless political prisoners who are down for the cause.
Also I want to give a shout out to Richard Pryor. Who did it his way. It doesn't matter how destructive he was to himself, you always have to take your hat off to someone who made up the rules as they went along.
