Concert of my Life
The Life and Tumbls. You'll find Rants, Links, but mostly information about me and my opinions.
Many posts are big blog post style, so a "Read More" link is used to shorten posts for feeds.
Some of my posts will be emotional or controversial. Always refer to the "Read More" sentence. Thanks.
I write a lot about social/political/world issues and you may or may not agree with my opinions. I am not and do not claim to be an expert on any of the topics, and am only presenting my thoughts formed from knowledge gained through research or school. Feel free to let me know what you think, I am always open to new ideas and perspectives.
Any Questions, Comments, or Concerns? Praises or Objections? Put it in the Ask!Ask Me

In the case of Trayvon Martin, a twin set of correlated racisms prematurely ended his life: Zimmerman’s view that a young Black male must be engaged in criminal or thuggish activity by virtue of his race alone; and the neighbourhood watchmen and police alike who execute the structural racism embedded in police departments and penal systems nationwide in the name of the law.”
