You know...I hv always, especially as a child, teenaged resident; then naturalized American citizen...valued my freedoms 2learn, earn,live speak out..& just be me. Thinking black people, the whole ethnic pop across the nation r so privileged in Freedom...mor thn anywhere else in daworld. Bt is it all just an illusion?. I can tell u that what hz been happening to me within the closely knit walls of my small town Upstate New York communities; Surround Local Authorities, Judicial System, Sanctions&Factions of leadership & the level of Abuse I am encountering over these past 10yrs 2present... surely hv me revisittin mybelief that I am actually Free. Free to JustBe me, free to pursue happiness, free to earn as i want&need, free to speak out wen im being violated & abused 2receive proper local care, protection & justice as my hardworkin, hardearned Tax dollars r supposed to dictate. Am i free? Cn I still hld that belief any longer as self evident...after all I hv been & still being put thru. Or is it simply a dellusion i hv held on2 wantin 2Believe? Hv I ever been free?🤔 & if this probing disturbing ? that stirs the mire&mirrors of my very soul answers back...NO. Can I &will I eva B...free? &so hv valid cause...2truly... celebrate??😔

The fact is that we are still fighting for our freedom

More perfect is an oxymoron, unless the Supreme Court decides it's not.

That ties in with what's bothering me. Homeless also have less freedom!
