Love to my beautiful people...
by this time, i'm sure you all have heard about what's going on in Ferguson. but more than likely, what you all have probably not heard is most of the truth.
i will bring more of that truth to you.
i was born and raised in St. Louis. i'm still here today. let me share a bit about what it means when people say "St. Louis." There are many areas in St. Louis but technically, they are not in St. Louis. Take Nelly for example. He was born in University City (a suburb) but he claims St. Louis. University City is a few minutes away from St. Louis, but it's not technically St. Louis. St. Louis "proper" is really St. Louis City; that's where I was born and grew up. Ferguson is like a 25 minute walk from my neighborhood and maybe about a 3.5 minute drive.
within 24 hours of the cold-blooded murder of our dear Brotha, I was at ground zero. since then, myself and my group, have been attending mostly everyday since.
i will be providing you guys with video and stills and the information that I gather and you may request anything from me about this volatile situation. i wanna offer you an inside look.
for now, let me say this much. what you are not seeing is the unbelievable unity that this unfortunate situation has created. at first we were just about 50 or so people gathering around one store. but since the Democrat Governor Jay Nixon called in the Missouri National Guard, we are now at the thousands--and growing-- stretching blocks.
