The 5 stages of grief as it relates to racism

The 5 stages of grief as it relates to racism

1. Denial
It can't really be as bad as you say. No way. You're overreacting. You don't know the WHOLE story.

2. Anger
Racism is not the real problem; you're the problem. You're the angry one. You're the racist!

3. Bargaining
Not all cops...not all white people. What about black on black crime? Why isn't anyone talking about that? If they'd only comply... It's better than it used to be so that's progress...right?

4. Depression
So what are we supposed to do? I'm not responsible for all of this. I can't handle all of this. I have to tune out now. Too much. La la la...I'm not listening!

5. Acceptance
"Reaching this stage is a gift not afforded to everyone.

Embracing the truth, though it condemns, shames and disheartens us, our loved ones and our heroes is to stare at the face of change.

ON REPARATIONS

Never banter with white folk about reparations. It’s like arguing with your boss about wages they haven’t paid you. The only acceptable answer, whether they can give it or not, is “Yeah… You right!” Anything less from them is pure toxicity.

How about we drop this entire ridiculous vacuous insane argument about reparations.” Chuck Woolery - Wheel of Fortune game show host.

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
