Pharma self back in my prayer room. Fans spirit very disturbed. Everybody's preparing March Madness. Things that ran in the newspapers have disturbed me. Figure out if. Black lives really matter then in Chicago alone, the murder rate is sword 70 - two percent in 2000 1680 - eight percent in the first three months of 2016, compared to last year. I'm trying to ask the question if if to Organization of of black lives if they really matter That was A hundred and 40 - one murders this year, 80 - two murders last year at the same time I've I'm trying to figure out in my mind. Why no one is playing attention to black men killing black men? Why we always find ourselves have the victims and now we have the separation once again that we're being victimized because of one bad White cop too. bad White cops. Three bad White cops killing young black We have black on black crime, killing each other police in Chicago report at 670 - seven shoes this year last year, it was 350 - nine March murder rate rose by 20 - nine percent, but we are not riding in the streets when black on black crime are killing each other. I'm trying to figure out how how the month of March there's more murders in the month of March in Chicago, then there are Month of Chicago, There was 270 - one shooting incidents. I'm trying to stop to ask this one simple thing. When will we appreciate who we are When will our skin color start paying attention to our own skin color when when we stop crying that black lives matter because God says I am Alpha and Omega, I am creator of all in all come up under me with my spirit, which means color means nothing. I am a King I will But we have found our way distracted. we found out way distracted because things were not paying attention to the murders in 2015 to 2016. Just a comparison to Chicago should be sad enough for 2015, there was 30 - four Merchs 2016 That was 40 - five from January first to March 30. -first. There was 80 - two murders in 2015. There was 140 - one in. The shootings in 2015, there was a hundred and 70 - Nine 2016. There was 270 - one January first tomorrow's 30 -first the shootings alone 2015. there was 350 - nine 2016. It was 670 - seven the shooting victims in 2015. It was 204 in 2016 is 319 from January In 2015, the 670 - seven murders in 2016. And I'm trying to hacks what's the problem I was asked if I was an elected official. What would I do to stop some of this violence? I will put barrels on each corner. I will give you 30 days to drop all illegal weapons in needs sparrows and if you found yourself going outside of that, the moment I found you with it. That's 20 - five years mandatory. There's no more having conversations because we're starting to happen now is we're starting to Our kids don't know which way to walk the streets. We got babies in Baltimore being shot in the Middle of the streets. They're on the front porch and they've been shot. We got a family of five to six in the backyard, having a barbecue and the whole family gets executed, but we keep screaming black lives matter yes, they really matter. then let's do ourselves a favor. Let's stop killing black folks. Let's take it way back to when we want was understood what slavery was all about slavery was about to. And I understand that we must overcome together not that we must separate ourselves to highlight our skin color. If you wanna highlight our skin color highlight the people that's doing the successful things in the communities that that we should be had like and it ain't all athletics at the latest come a diamond dozen, but the impact of your journey and the things that we supposed to be doing you supposed to be leaving an impact to change people's lives. One day. God will ask how many Super Bowls have won how many tackles I made behind interceptions. I have he will ask the simple question how many lives have our change. Oh I comfort zone must be disturbed we. Music now the kids can't listen to what their parents we got rated our shows that showing things that kids have a way. social media has took us way beyond what we supposed to be. We've done the long term thinking in our minds. We let kids now dictate what they can do and who they can be and what they will ultimately be. I found myself disturbed. Whether I'm right or wrong. There's numbers men and women lie, but numbers don't numbers don't lie and what's going on in Chicago right now. If you write music change, the thought process change the language stop in so women we all got our struggles. There's nothing about me. That's perfect. I'm a struggling man every day of my life to walk the right path. I haven't. It all out yet, but I figured out enough to say that there's something and I'm supposed to pass along that don't go through my same struggles. Let's write something different. Let's give this let's give these lost children something to really envision. I cried today. To say, I'm not a perfect man and I have my failures just like anyone else. But I guess the question is are you helping are you serving? Help anybody Give your money away to help any calls. But serve. To serve. You must come out of your comfort zone. It's too many brothers, killing each other and brothers. If I had one message for you, man stop and check the post of the person before you pull a trick and realize that they are alive and everybody you hurt. you will be accounted for man. I'm talking about man foolish people on social media. The things that they say that's pure ignorance. evil exists. social media has become the Devil's Playhouse because it has. Ignorant people who can hide behind captions of children and pictures and funny things and insult people who's actually doing something. But one day we will all be held accountable and brothers. If nobody else won't scream to you. I'mma Scream to you, I know Black Lives matter cuz I'm a black man, but man stop killing each other man. We gotta put this. Down Scott Baltimore, Miami man It ain't that hard man man you got to be okay with earning the right living man. He supposed to be easy man's days on this Earth will be short and filled with trouble. but right now, man we were losing the battle. A third of the American population is behind boss 50 percent are behind bars. Because they took the life of another black man sooner or later. If we don't change what we're doing. Not only with our kids not have a future, but we might find ourselves extinct.
