Don't Be Bold, Be Brave

By Lucius Gantt,

                                                                 Are you getting afraid of America’s MAGA Monsters? It seems like supremacists, nationalists, and

                                                          many conservatives in the United States are becoming bolder! They honk horns at you on streets and

roadways, they yell at you on sidewalks and in fast food lines, and anywhere you go, someone says, “You

don’t belong here!”               

       They feel now is the time to increase the hate. To them, it’s a good time to act out because the President

is on their side, Congress supports their actions, and the courts have no desire to check racist speech or

actions.

         I disagree, I believe now is the time for all good men and women of all races, creeds, and colors should

come together and oppose racial conflicts and confrontations.

        Even though TGR has a digital platform, I don’t troll the internet all day, and I don’t spend hours and

hours sharing stolen words, content, and videos from other internet posters.

        The way Americans treat each other and interact with each other is nothing new. These days, for Black

Americans; have much similarity to the days of slavery.

         There are viral videos posted every day on the internet that show verbal and physical confrontations between

white and Black Americans. I don’t encourage restaurant warfare: or bus stop battles, but I do encourage TGR

family members to protect themselves; at all times.

          Recently, at least two people were found hanging from trees in Mississippi. Investigating authorities say

there were no signs of criminality. Hmmm? People also said Jeffrey Epstein hung himself in a jail cell that

featured constant video recordings. The jail recordings had missing minutes but prison investigators claim

he hung himself while conspiracy theorists say the man who enjoyed sex with underage girls was killed to prevent

him from revealing others who love to “hit the kittens”, so to speak.

        Mississippi authorities say there were no signs of criminal conduct when the Black student was found

hanging. However, that suggested scenario makes me believe a student climbed a tree alone and hung himself.

        I don’t remember a scene like that in a Hollywood movie!

        Black people, you can’t stop other people from disliking you. You can defend yourself, when necessary, you have a right to stand your ground.

        Try to be more observant. Look for troubled people and troubling situations and circumstances.  

The world needs love. The people need safety; and security, and the haters need to get what comes to them that they deserve.

       Don’t be bold, be brave when you need to be.
