I won't have kids I'm very serious Not until i can say to them "I lived through a time when it was unhealthy to have your curly hair and brown skin, When you could be killed over an assumption. Yes I know even if you had nothing to do with it. I lived through a time when it didn't mean much to us to serve and protect. But your generation can do better than us, We caught and exposed via our phones and social media the power lustful and corrupt But we only received this torch from those that walked up and down on this path before us. I want you to do better and be better than us my child, so go out into the world and be proud of your heritage and who you are Remember the struggles we went through, so they never happen again. "

I'll never have kids
I won't have kids I'm very serious Not until i can say to them "I lived through a time when it was unhealthy to have your curly hair and brown skin, When you could be killed over an assumption. Yes I know even if you had nothing to do with it. I lived through a time when it didn't mean much to us to serve and protect. But your generation can do better than us, We caught and exposed via our phones and social media the power lustful and corrupt But we only received this torch from those that walked up and down on this path before us. I want you to do better and be better than us my child, so go out into the world and be proud of your heritage and who you are Remember the struggles we went through, so they never happen again. "
