All for nothing at All.

Writing this poem giving a standpoint on black lives, and my life all together I have come to the conclusion that white individuals look into are lives without understanding are lives if that makes sense. People learn things either they watch the news or they hear it from family or friends , social medias, and things like that.  As a result of that depending on what they are watching or who they are getting their information from people are getting these standpoints that black people are someone in which people need to protect themselves from. This interest me because everyday I have been seeing movies in which they portray black individual as thief, killers, and all of the negative things above and as a result of that it has affected my life and many other especially since my name is not ” white ” enough to be hired. The aspect of my poem is to try and have the audience feel what many innocent black individuals felt as they have been gun downed over reasons in which did not make sense. I want people who have a higher authority when it comes down to the media to be aware that what they say is how another person can lose their life. What they are preaching is another way in which people end up fearing us. I want people to understand that I am a black women with goals and dreams, and I should not be put in a group in which in my eyes does not exist because I cannot relate to it. I want them to stop making me fear for my brothers , and cousins lives just because certain medias preach that people should which causes them to act irrational when they are put in a situation where they are near a person who share the same color as me. Honestly working on this project is interesting because their has been plenty of times I did not know what to say nt because I did not understand what I should say but because I did not know hw to word it properly or in a professional matter. In this topic honestly I learned how dangerous the media is. I learned how oblivious people can be to the issue of black lives , and how much little power, and say that black individuals have. There has been countless times where I felt as if I wasn’t good enough due to how the media has portrayed of me and my family.
