You Have To Be Carefully Taught

"You have to be taught to learn how to hate before you are five, six, seven or Eight. To hate all the people your relatives hate, you have to be carefully taught in your dear little head...." South Pacific song. *** The word is all out in the city streets. To reform society you have to learn To hate the police. The police target And profile people of color. And Practice racism! What is the solution? Defund the Police by 50% and give certain jobs Over to civilians and mental health Professionals. Take their money And put it into community housing And community projects. The police department of Toronto Canada went on strike the year I turned 15! What happened? An increase in violence and crime! Toronto passed a law right away Forbidding their police departments The rights to strike! I lived in a housing project in their Shoreline school district Ballinger Homes housing Project. My Life and my family's was in Constant double jeopardy! They made us an offer we Couldn't refuse. "We said go To hell we will blow your brains Out! "You will wish to God you Were dead!" They replied. We did not want to become drug Addicts and prostitutes!" I am not against more affordable Housing. I l myself am on Section 8! I just am telling You these people tried to Kill my family with rocks! We need the police department!!! We need to all get together right Now. We need both justice and peace!
