This speech was read at the funeral I attended last week for a person I went to school with who was shot and killed in front of Parkway Liquors here in Vallejo. It was so powerful that when Ms. Sheila Johnson got done with it, the whole church was on their feet, black, white, asian, mexican, whatever. Anyone who has a young black male in their life should print this out, and pass it on to them.


RIP Rico Green Eyes Whitemon


A Day of Reckoning

Today is February 12, 2010. The month of February is celebrated all over the country as Black History month. There is an old Negro hymn that said, “We shall overcome.” Overcome from racism and prejudice. Over 50 years ago Black men, women and children had to worry about their lives being taken or brutalized by another race, whether it has been forgotten or unlearned here we are in the year 2010 and Black women, men and children have to worry about our own race brutalizing each other. It is a slap in the face for all the Civil Rights Leaders and people who lost blood, sweat and tears to pave the way for us as a people to be able to live amongst one another as a support to one another, NOT to tear down one another. We have not only stood still, but as a race, we are going backwards. Anyone here born after 1965, do you think Martin Luther King Day is just a day to get off work or school? Go read about him. Study the history of our plight as Black people. Quit disrespecting us, quit disrespecting yourselves. Quick to say “They, he or she” disrespected me. Learn the word. You think you bad? Oh you’re angry? Oh you’ve had some bad breaks in life, well welcome to life. Some of you know and some of you may not, but today I’m putting you on notice. There is a God and trust this! He sits high and looks low, so you can keep walking around in a haze if you want too.
But there will be a day of Reckoning!

I just find it ironic that she speaks about "stop the violence" the whole speech and then ends it with a threat.

I think that's kind of a silly statement. She didn't say "stop the violence or I will bust a cap in your ass". She said GOD will get your ass if you don't get it together.

Big Difference.

Good post and my heart goes out to the family, but the god bit at the end ruined it. I am not a believer in magic, wizards or hocus pocus, I believe in this little thing called reality.

The quicker people realise this, the better of they will be.

Is that assuming that every young black male we know is disrespectful or doesn't know how to act, or doesn't know their history??

I wouldn't pass this on to the young black males I know, because that would be disrespectful (in my opinion, of course), and they might want to smack me for ASSUMING that they NEED to read it. The cats I know are down to earth, handle their business, respect and love people from all walks of life, and know their history.

This needs to be passed on to the folks that are out there fuckin' up and ignorant, but not to every black man just because they are black men.

In any case, R.I.P to your boy. Shit is out of control.

OK, maybe I should rephrase that....A young black male who needs to hear a good word.
Sorry for your assumption that I assume all young black males are out there bad.


...and the speaking for God part, I didn't take it as her 'speakin on his behalf' but passing along what she believes.

i respect that. i want to speak on that, but i dont want to turn this into one of THOSE religious topics. this is a religious thread, but much more tasteful than what i mean. religion and politics are not something we can talk about openly...unfortunately.

exactly. I am not going to argue this with anyone either. You can a) think that, in context, this was a powerful piece of writing and the words may benefit someone in your life, or b) think its a waste of bandwidth and never click on this thread again.

I may only be powerful because of the where the speech was given. If some homeless dude stood up in the middle of Burger King with the same speech, most everyone there would think he was just some crazy, transient spewing off a bunch of nonsense.

Ignorant people of any color need religion for a basis in reasoning, I can see how it can be powerful to people who never picked up a bible before and are curious. Eliminating religion will only make retards worse, unless everybody is equally getting a high education. Religion is just another way to teach right from wrong. If this is the only way some people will get morals then so be it. In some cases its the only way vice guide to liberia's general buttnaked showed this.

It was definately a good read but that God part at the end made the record scratch.
