More Viga Truth
This puzzle of life is complicated when you surround yourself with missing pieces. That's why I run with the like minded; because no matter how scattered the picture is, we always find a way together to connect the view so the masses can see it clearer. - Viga Truth

More Viga Truth
Sometimes you have to reflect back, in order to understand why you must look forward and continue the process of knowing you are not alone.

The Trayvon Series: Roger Suggs, rapper and social activist examines the charges
By Lonita Cook
Kansas City Local Writers Examiner
Roger Suggs, professionally known as Vigalantee, is a rapper, social activist, and, as co-founder of the Fringe Benefit of Education, an advocate for higher learning. Suggs has also been a long promoter of the Emmett Till story, even writing a song dedicated to the tragedy, considering his death to have been in vain. The Trayvon Martin killing resurrected a feeling of helplessness, and thus activism for people who refuse to allow children to be harmed and then subsequently having the authorities do what is interpreted as nothing.
“The burden is on us not to let this thing go,” a line from a new song Suggs has written and published suggests, commemorating the Trayvon Martin death, and branding him the new Emmett Till. It is a call to the public asking it not to engage in futile shows of solidarity for a couple of weeks and then get bored as he believes happens with so many causes. The outcry is important, but, now is the time for the public to truly be verbal.
“This is the beginning of how the law changes,” Roger says, warning people not to believe an arrest, or charge is the end. Though as of now he believes the “Stand Your Ground” law might be modified because of this case, but not eradicated. “Guns rights [activists] won’t let that happen.”
He also takes issue with the charge against Zimmerman itself. “He was already acquitted when the First Degree [charge] was taken off the table. Period. People get happy about checkers when the system is playing chess.”
Closure is important for the family, and Suggs hopes that is what’s happening, but fears the charges may simply be to pacify the public.

Some More Viga Truth
The greatest weapon of the enemy is the ability to out last his foes. While we are getting tired from all of the Trayvon and the stop the violence movement, the enemy is reloading and rebooting; because he knows and understands the psyche of the afro-american race. 400 years and counting and our microwave mindset will always be our achilles heel and we will always come up limping! Time for some home cooked understanding and an operation that will heal us for this marathon.

Viga-Truth
Finding beauty in a world that is so ugly takes patience and the will to see beyond what this society promotes as beauty. My goal is to recognize rare diamonds amongst fools gold
