THE CULT OF SCAPEGOATING

THE CULT OF SCAPEGOATING
Let’s talk about the cult of scapegoating. I’ve been guilty of this in my misogynoir 

conditioning, ignoring the plight of Black women being abused by fellow Black men
and instead focusing on eliminating the 

white cops from elsewheres ‘for the greater good’ falsely believing that these justice battles cannot be fought on many fronts at 

the same time when the exact opposite is true; they must be tackled on ALL fronts at ALL times. I have ignored the warnings of 

Mamie Till Mobley (the mother of Emmett Till): “The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world 🌍had better be the business of us ALL.”

Her wisdom came at a terrible price! It behooves us all to listen to it once again. This cult that I speak of pervades our 

society. It allows us Black men to decry the unfairness we face while declaring the moans of Black women as a lack of solidarity to the cause of ‘mutual liberation.’

And even though the I feel that the overwhelming numbers of women and CHILDREN in particular have been trafficked by white cops from elsewheres 

(who else would have the authority and the dispassion to do so on such a huge scale as  500,000 per year), I’ve ignored the daily 

evils of fellow Black men due to it being disproportionately reported. The greatest of us back then would own our faults - 

not in secret, but in the open for ALL to see. Even our enemies knew our shortcomings for we were ALWAYS the standard keepers.

King later in life forcefully demanded reparations, apologized for not standing up to the atrocity of the Vietnam war (lauding a 

Black Muslim boxer’s stand around all costs in the process), and admitted that ‘we’ve integrated into a burning house.’

Ali acknowledged his shame at not standing with Malcolm when the hypocrisy was revealed of Elijah Muhammad impregnating 

his secretaries while at the same time kicking these same women out for their 

‘sin.’ Malcolm, after conversing with his wife later owned up to the fact that a short while ago, if anyone had confronted him with the 

truth of Elijah’s repeated infidelity and hypocrisy, he would  have demanded that person’s head. It took courage to stand up to the white man’s tactics but it took 

greatness to stand up to evil on the inside from a man who literally saved your life! And owning the fact that the signs were there 

and you chose to ignore it, greater courage still. But without this courage, we cannot achieve or even hope to ask the pertinent

questions: ARE PRISONS OBSOLETE? (Angela Davis) or why do we seek to reform or police the police when we need to 

eliminate the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces entirely?

So let the white gaze and the Black folk who worship it come for us; they’re doing our job for us - setting a standard of behavior that we should have had all along. 

I don’t care if ALL of our heroes of old are exposed and brought down. It’ll teach the new crop that the behaviors of the past will

no longer fly. And eventually we will kick all of the white cops out of Black spaces who flood in the massive amounts of drugs and 

guns and trafficking our CHILDREN on a MASSIVE scale and who knows what else. It’s the ONLY way to keep the 

Kalief Browders and Corryn Gaineses from happening again and again along with countless others who have been exonerated 

from death row for murder WHO WEREN’T EVEN AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME! 

Let everyone else rattle on with the will he won’t he be finally kicked out of office. We know better and I’m staking my wittle social 

media platform on the strength of white supremacy in America and how you cannot successfully dismantle one aspect without 

the whole fabric of evil unraveling - and how white liberals have proven time and again that their cognitive dissonance and 

denial conditioning prevents them from doing what it takes. This type of battle is spiritual and their tools are ill equipped to handle it. But who is equipped these days?

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”

The Kerner Commission of 1968

“Our nation is moving towards two societies: one white, one black — separate and unequal.” - Kerner Commission 1968 And this statement was made 4 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was supposed to ‘correct’ the separate and unequal. What we gained from that era is essential: the right to vote, the right to use the same facilities including bathrooms, water fountains, restaurants, libraries and schools. But during that same time, we lost our media and its narrative. Black reporters were needed to report on the Black experience and the white papers paid much better. And when the Black papers went defunct, the Black reporters (in their previous numbers) were no longer necessary. So we had no narrative to guide us into the new era. White establishments were ‘better’ so we abandoned the Black ones.  And most of our businesses dried up along with our ability to employ one another. So now we had to inordinately seek out white establishments (that...

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS!

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS! They strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel! Toxic...yet effective! I’ll be gone in January so let me leave a few tips: And if you contend with their banter (right or wrong), the truth of say the Native genocide HORROR gets lost in the sauce. They refuse to lament over the evils of the past and so reflexively, in their denial and dissonance, engage in banter meant to distract. Example: we say that we heard that ‘picnic’ means pick a n**ger to lynch. They’ll quickly chime in that that’s not the word’s etymology. They’re like SNOPES; pretending to be impartial but only (with maybe a few exceptions) chiming in on the negative regarding race. Or they’ll agree with what we’re saying but insist that we label them the exception. NOT YOU, BRADLEY! NOT YOU, VIRGINIA! The HORROR of how they’d accuse an innocent Black man (often a small business owner),  jail them, schedule their public hanging in the paper and have men, women and CHILDREN come out dressed in...
