☕️ GOOD MORNING COFFEE ☕️

Atlanta… 🤷🏾‍♂️

The Black Mecca my ass.

This happened damn near in our backyard.

A white man named Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer got into an argument with a Black family at a picnic in Leesburg, Georgia. During the confrontation, he was already screaming racial slurs and calling them the N-word.

Then he left.

Let me say that again.

He LEFT.

Then Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer came back wearing body armor, armed with an AR-15, screaming more racial slurs, and started shooting.

Let that sink in.

A FAMILY PICNIC.

He left.

Came back dressed for war.

Body armor.

AR-15.

Racial slurs.

Gunfire.

He had time to leave.

Time to cool off.

Time to think about what he was doing.

Instead, he geared up, came back, and opened fire.

Thank God nobody was killed.

One of the people there, a Marine veteran, returned fire and protected that family until law enforcement arrived.

Now here’s the part that’s got me frustrated this morning…

No hate crime charge.

No attempted murder charge.

And Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer was released on a $5,000 bond.

On top of that, the driver of the vehicle wasn’t charged.

Hell, he didn’t walk there.

Where they do that at?

That’s $500 cash to walk free until he goes to court. 🤯

Man, stop playing with me.

If this ain’t enough to make you question the system, I don’t know what is.

Everybody knows if the races were reversed, this would’ve been national news from coast to coast.

The charges would’ve been stacked before the booking photo hit the internet.

That’s why so many Black folks don’t trust the justice system.

We’ve watched this movie too many times.

Over.

And over.

And over again.

We’ve marched.

We’ve protested.

We’ve held signs.

We’ve marched until our feet hurt.

Then we go home, and everybody forgets about it until the next one happens.

Meanwhile, nothing changes.

The American Justice System feels less like “Justice For All” and more like punishment “Just For Us.”

Sip slow.

This coffee is about to boil over.

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

I look at case after case, and I can’t help but wonder if justice is truly blind or if some people just get the benefit of the doubt that others never receive.

I think about the Black teenager who survives an encounter and ends up facing decades in prison.

I think about cases where a young Black kid is charged with the death of his friend even though the police shot and killed his friend.

I think about the young Black kids who are chased, confronted, shot, or killed, and somehow the conversation immediately becomes about what they did wrong instead of whether they should still be alive.

And after a while, you start asking yourself a hard question:

Why does the burden always seem to fall on the Black child to prove he deserved grace, mercy, understanding, or even life itself?

Before anybody misunderstands me, this isn’t about saying Black people can’t be wrong.

This is about wondering why the benefit of the doubt seems to be distributed so unevenly.

Why one kid is viewed as a threat while another is viewed as a child.

Why one person’s fear is accepted as reasonable while another person’s fear is ignored.

Maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe I’m just frustrated.

But some days it feels like in America, a Black child can be the one bleeding, the one running, the one scared, the one fighting to survive…

and still end up being the one on trial.

How can you be on trial when nobody on the jury looks like you, lives like you, or understands your reality?

Only in America can a Black person take their own life, and if Dwight Peoples isn’t satisfied with the outcome, they’ll find a way to charge them with their own murder.

Sip slow.
Some of us are drinking coffee.
Some of us are swallowing frustration

Who told you that when it meant cause, that’s not the truth? You must’ve read that on the Internet somewhere. And the first one where they warned him is BS. I guess you can’t celebrate by being emotional after the race; this really sounds like jealousy. Unfortunately, this has become a black-and-white incident because of the world we live in; this really should be a dumb rule incident

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

This may be the most important thing I’ve ever posted.

As a Black man whose family has been on this land forever, I don’t say this lightly.

Please read this all the way through.

GOOD MORNING DEMOCRACY COFFEE ☕️

Let me say this as plain as I know how.

If voting didn’t matter,
they wouldn’t be working this hard to keep you from doing it.

They purge voter rolls.
They close polling places in Black neighborhoods.
They redraw district maps like a crooked spades player shuffling the deck.
And they’ve already gutted the protections that were supposed to guarantee equal treatment under the law.

The 14th Amendment was the paperwork that forced America to admit what it never wanted to say out loud:

Black folks are citizens.

Not three-fifths.
Not “equal when it’s convenient.”
Not “we’ll get to y’all later.”

FULL.
BLOWN.
AMERICANS.

That amendment was our receipt.

And now the same folks who love to scream about freedom
are acting like they want to return us to the store
without one.

Our ancestors got whipped,
jailed,
bit by dogs,
sprayed with hoses,
and buried in unmarked graves
so we could stand in line,
fill in a bubble,
and make our voices heard.

People literally died
so we could do something that now takes less time
than ordering a combo meal at Chick-fil-A.

They understood one simple truth:

The ballot is power.

And the people who fear your power
will do everything they can
to convince you your vote doesn’t count.

Don’t fall for it.

So when somebody tells you your vote doesn’t matter,
ask them this:

“If it means nothing,
why are y’all working this hard to stop us from using it?”

Exactly.

VOTE LIKE SLAVERY IS ON THE BALLOT.

BECAUSE IT IS.

Sip slow. ☕️
Freedom is on the line

@EmmanuelAcho Since y'all are going back-and-forth about Draymond, not being that good, I think we all can agree that Austin Rivers wouldn’t even be in the league if his daddy wasn’t Doc Rivers

I find the ones before the world knows their name.

47 years in… and I done touched ALL of it.

From the studio… to the stage… to the boardroom…
engineering, producing, running shows, developing artists, building record companies—
I’ve lived every side of this.

From LoveChild Productions
to On The Hunt Music Group
to the stage at St. James Live…

I ain’t just been around the game—
I BEEN in it.

This ain’t overnight.
This is years of consistency, relationships, mistakes, wins…
and never letting go of the vision.

Atlanta raised me. Atlanta built me.

And if you know… you know.
But if you don’t—
you better ask somebody.

@JohnFricke, do you really think Ty Simpson is that good to be picked at 13th? This kid is not gonna play for at least 2 years. unless Stanford retires or gets hurt. I'm just not sure he’s that much better than Stetson Bennett.🤷🏾‍♂️ I could be wrong, but another weapon that could have helped them win a Super Bowl right now would’ve been better.

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

@JohnFricke Just take any player that’s available from the Georgia Bulldogs/Ohio State buckeyes at this point how bad can it get?

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

@JohnFricke Kuminga !!!

[Tasha René @IamTashaRene]

I had the pleasure of ministering at my church this past Sunday. Nervous doesn’t begin to describe the feeling, but God… He always does His thing. I am so grateful for the opportunity and I never want to let God down. #tasharene #newbirthworship

@Melllooo They couldn’t take another LSU player!

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

I can’t believe he really posted this…

GOOD MORNING
“JESUS FROM TEMU?”
COFFEE ☕

Sip slow ☕
Nah… I done seen it all now.

He done rebranded himself from
President…
to “Lord of the Ring Light.” 😂

From
“Make America Great Again”
to
“Miracles, Signs & Wonders Tour.”

Laying hands…
glowing fingers…
eagles and angels in the background…

Whole thing feel like
a Tyler Perry Easter special
with a Marvel budget…
and no script. 🍿😂

This ain’t leadership…
this a whole Easter play audition.

All we missing is a choir
and somebody yelling—
“CAN I GET AN AMEN?!” ☕😂

And let’s be real—

If you gotta Photoshop yourself
into a miracle…

you probably ain’t the miracle.

We don’t need a president
playing Jesus on Instagram…

We don’t need a president
auditioning for “King of Kings”
or cosplaying the Messiah
like it’s Comic-Con.

…I digress.

Sip slow ☕
He might wanna grab some iced coffee…

’cause where he headed
ain’t got no air conditioning.

🔥☕😂

[Monyea Crawford @lcpmusic]

Here we go again…

GOOD MORNING
“WE SURVIVED… FOR THIS?”
COFFEE ☕

Sip slow ☕
We survived a whole pandemic
under Donald Trump…

just to come back
and watch him try to crash out the world.

First it was mishandling a virus…
Now it’s poking at WW3
like it’s a reality show.

From pandemic chaos
to playing with global fire…

Same loud, no-filter man.
Bigger consequences.
More reckless moves.

At this point…
it ain’t bad luck.
It’s a pattern.

At some point
you gotta ask—
is this leadership…
or just ego with power?

Sip slow ☕
The world already on fire…
and somehow it’s still getting hotter.

Now everybody looking around like—
who got the milk?

Funny how the ones who cheered it on…
(looking at you, Lindsey Graham)
need help putting it out.

@PapaJohns this is how you got to deliver two pizzas to me today.
