Being black and vegan

Some people in the hood don,t know what vegan is or means , this is one thing that,s lacking in the black community . You can,t blame the people because they don,t teach veganism in school and the only way you would find out about it is that someone mention it to you , and that is just what i do . Being a black vegan i want my people to know the life that they could have without consuming meat . People in the black community is dieing at an alarming rate because of ignorance of a better way to eat . By me knowing that there is a diet that can prevent heart disease , cancer and stroke i get out here in these street and spread the word to my people and any people that will listen . People in front of the chicken shacks laugh at me when im standing in front of the local greasy spoon with a stick with pictures of dead animals on them letting them know how their meat looked before it was fried and cooked . I spread this word not just for myself but for people to know that there is another way and that life can be different , instead of eating french fries eat a backed potato , instead of eating a hamburger eat a veggie burger . If black vegans want to change the hood and the mentality of the hood we must spread the word no matter who thinks we are a joke while doing it , we must leave a good footprint in our community .

Living free starts with going vegan

In my humble opinion if you truly won,t to cleanse your life body and mind of all negativity your first step is to put your meat down and go vegan . When you eat animals you eat death , destruction , fear , pain and unhappiness . The farm industry won,t you to believe in slogans called happy meat and free range and i must tell you there is nothing happy about the life that a pig , cow or chicken have to live in my observation their life is torture and pain .  If you eat meat you must ask yourself why you are always sick , why are you always mad , why you keep a attitude , in my opinion it,s because you consume meat .

Have you ever thought of how a animal feels when it sees the animal infront of them in the slaughter line scream and shake while getting his throat cut in the slaughter house , or a chicken getting defeathered  in scolding hot water while still alive , can you imagine the shock , fear and pain . How can you really have a clear mind when you eat dead animals , theirs no way you can feel free because you carry all the feelings that the animal had before he died , it may sound stupid to you but i bet that  if you stop consuming dead animal flesh you would feel a total change in your mind , body and sprite in days and your love for people , nature , animals and nature would be completely off the charts .




 

Vegan Hip Hop

It seems as though people these days don,t really give a care how people live their lives as far as health goes in the hop hop movement . You got  KRS One , Russell Simmons and Stic from Dead Prez holding the torch for the black vegan movement but it seems as though it,s not to many young faces out their for young people to see . With a rise of deaths from heart disease , diabetes and stroke in the black community who is going to be the next young rapper to really speak out . Hip Hop is a movement and being black and vegan should be a movement also not only for health but also for the animals . No one ever thinks that the meat going in their body is actually a dead animal . Have you ever been on a car ride and saw a dead cat or dog on the side of the road , to be honest with you that is what you are eating , a dead rotten corpse . I often wonder why the back of the store is called the meat market instead of the funeral home , when you pick your meat you are doing nothing short of viewing the body , the body of a dead animal without the head . If you are vegan and love hip hop spread the vegan movement to other hip hop lovers in hope that one day more hip hip artist will talk about going vegan instead of murder and drug use .

Spreading the vegan message in the black neighborhood

Spreading the vegan message in the black neighborhood can at times be a very rewarding decision . Delivering the vegan message to a people who has not had anyone even explain the definition of vegan to them can be a rewarding engagement  when you have the open ear of a person who,s ready to engage . We all understand that people in  the hood are the part of society that no one respects , so in my opinion those who know how to build a better community through food sources should step forward and bring the message . The hood is waiting for change and it,s ripe with opportunities for black vegans to deliver the message of hope and change . Black people who have found the gold mine to the vegan lifestyle should wear it proud and loud , wear it in talk , actions , and tshirt slogans . People in the hood pay attention to new and exciting things , if blacks vegans bring the vegan message back to the hood it will truly create change .

Hood vegans stand up

Most people are under the assumption that there are no vegans in the hood but nothing can be more from the truth . The problem is that the vegans in the hood who are living the lifestyle never give the message to the masses because of fear of getting talked about or laughed at for being different . In the hood you see a produce desert , you have joints like Popeye chicken , Kentucky fried chicken , rib joints and the Arab cornered market of fried everything . Then we wonder why so many people in the hood die from heart disease , strokes  and diabetes . Vegans in the hood have to come out the closet and give out the game because if we don,t do it no one else will , it may take for us to stand on street corners with signs and bull horns waking up the dead , but we got to put the word out . Think of how many people in the hood would change there whole perception of life by going vegan , then once vegan has the reputation of being cool families and lives will change like wild fire . A word to all vegans in the hood , stand up and open your mouth and change some lives and be a part of positive change .    

Bringing a vegan presence to the westside of Chicago

I have always asked myself why is there not a vegan presents in the hood of Chicago , my answer to myself was because i am not out there putting in work . You can visit the westside of Chicago and you won,t find a vegan restaurant , store , flyer or for that purpose a vegan person anywhere in site but you will find chicken joints , fast food and soul food joints everywhere . No one is out in the street proclaiming vegan or spreading the word , you won,t find a flyer anywhere , i bet most people in the hood don,t even know what the hell a vegan is .

People always say you only live one time and i don,t know how true that is but at this time i must stand for something . I found the key to long life and freedom of disease and it,s right there in front of everyone's face and it,s fruits and vegetables .

I plan to get out here in these Chicago streets and create a movement and you can call it a vegan gang if you will , but i plan to get out here in these streets of Chicago with flyers , posters , bull horns and anything else i can think of to spread the message of the vegan lifestyle .

I know that most people think that vegans are crazys on pass from the loony farm , but i plane to do my part in trying to create change amongst people who are ignorant to the fact of what vegan is because no one took time out to show them .
