Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

You are in an abusive relationship with yourself when you don’t love yourself and your surroundings. You are most likely to be killed by your friend, cousin, brother, sister, mother, father, or someone of your race because you won't stand up, speak up, and stop the violence that’s going on in your life. You have to, first of all, love yourself enough. Your family and friends have these illegal guns and are more likely to get mad at you and shoot you or steal from you than someone you don’t know. Love yourself, stop the brutality! Parents are not supposed to be burying their kids. Instead, the kids are supposed to grow old and bury their parents. Help remove the guns and drugs from our community. Black history is only celebrated once a year, but remember you are Black for the rest of your life. Stop the violence against your neighbor and yourselves.
