Rudy Outta ICU, Still Breathing… For Now
That old dude Giuliani bounced back, but ain't nobody forgetting the dust he kicked up in the streets.
Aight, so word on the curb is Rudy Giuliani, that dude who used to run NYC, almost checked out. He was in the ICU, breathing all messed up, but he pulled through. They say he's "winning this fight."
Now, I ain't gonna front, I ain't shedding no tears. This the same dude who was all about stop-and-frisk, locking up young brothas and sistas for nothing. He had the cops heavy in the hood, harassing folks just trying to live. So, yeah, I'm a little salty.
His people talking 'bout “the power of prayer” and all that. Cool. But what about the power of systemic racism? What about the prayers of the families torn apart by his policies? Nah, they ain't talking about that. They never do.
They wanna talk about him saving New York and running towards the towers on 9/11. Okay, he did his thing. But that don't erase the damage he did to our communities. Real talk. He might've been a 'hero' downtown, but uptown, he was the villain.
Now, some folks saying he's a fighter, like he's some kind of superhero. He's just an old rich dude with access to the best healthcare money can buy. Meanwhile, folks in the hood still struggling to get a doctor's appointment.
Trump calling him the “Best Mayor”? Please. That's like saying Tekashi 6ix9ine is the best rapper. It just ain't true. Trump just sticking with his people, birds of a feather. Ain't surprised at all.
I ain't wishing no death on nobody, but I ain't celebrating this man's recovery either. He gotta answer for the things he did. And I'm not talking about no fancy apology. I'm talking about real change, real investment in the communities he messed up. Until then, I'm keeping it 100, and I ain't got nothing nice to say.
Stay woke, y'all. Don't let the media spin this into some feel-good story. Remember the real deal. Remember the people he hurt. And keep fighting for justice.
We gotta look out for ourselves, cuz ain't nobody else gonna do it for us. Power to the people, ya heard?
