Cream Always Floats


It has been some time since I have blogged.  COVID-19 and all the unrest in America have made it hard not to cry over what life Zion must be living. The last that we talked to or saw him was just before he graduated from 8th grade. Joyce's bipolar was on full force that day as she verbally attacked me and spat in my face. I filled a police report; however, just like Cook County...nothing was done.
If I had done to Joyce what she did to me, they would have locked me up on-site because Cook County is known for putting black men in jail. In that respect, it seems American is good at that.
Well, I had gotten Zion a laptop for high school and was going to send it to him; however, I made up my mind that I am not going to allow Joyce or anyone to keep playing games.
Zion needs so much, and it is deplorable that he is in a home with a woman that is still using her body to live and using Zion to get a Link for housing, then allowing another man to reside in said house. I never understood how a man could say he is the man of the house when it is a section 8 house. Alternatively, how he can say that he is a man when he is eating from a table that is paid for by Link in the name of a minor.
I think that our public aid system is a joke! Its primary purpose is to keep poor people in a poor mindset. So they do not have to work. The get Link and end up having many children.  So, I question what the motivation for anyone is to work and do better in life when doing such will cost them free housing and food.
I want to ask the Mayor of Chicago what her mission statement for the city is.  I see her talking about how the shootings and killings need to stop; however, I do not really think that she wants them to stop. Too many people are making money off these young black and brown boys killing each other. Trust me, not one of them wants to bring an end to the crime.
I want to ask the Cook County State’s Attorney Fox how it is that I file a police report, and nothing is done, but Joyce can spit in my face, and the police do nothing. Why call the police when it seems that their mission is to only arrest as many black men as they can.
Zion will get some public aid laptop or, I am sure, one of these so-called helps the poor give away laptops to black students with the hope that mothers like Joyce do not sell them. I know that this will pass. I know that one day Zion is going to reach an age that he is going to say enough is enough. He surrounded by people with no hopes or dreams.  He has to motivate himself since he does not have anyone in his life to push him.
He is around people that live off public help, and I understand that these big companies are the main ones getting public help. You need to understand the mindset, though; they get public help to make millions, not to get a Link to feed themselves with.
I was at that 8th-grade graduation and the only ones with masks on where the non-black teachers. I looked around and was just shocked at how in 2020, the slave mindset is still in full effect. I do not expect anyone to reach out to me and talk to me about this, because this is a conversation that they do not want to have.
I am going to end on this note.  I will be voting for Vice President Biden in this upcoming election; however, in my soul, I would love to see Trump win. In the next four years, Trump can do more to help black folks than Biden will. We need someone to come and just cut us off; take away all the public help and force us to do better... and yes, some will not make it, but the cream always floats to the top.
