THE BITTER TRUTH



THE BITTER TRUTH


The BITTER truth is that if we’re gonna change it all, then every white person has to go the route of Liam Neeson.

Confessing their shame when no one would EVER find it out!

The looking for reasons NOT to hire the Black professor for a job that was meant for them.

How you really felt about Black men when Trump’s full page Wilding ad came out about the Central Park Rape of the white woman and how most of them confessed.

The excuses you made when Eleanor Bumpers, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Trayvon Martin, Korryn Gaines were murdered by cops.

For saying that FB has gone to the dogs because Black folk FINALLY have a platform to share their voice somewhat unfiltered (barring FB jail)

and it makes you uncomfortable, exposing that you’re not the hero you thought you were or the Almighty called you to be.

Now there are 2 white people that I know of who have shared their racist EVILS in detail when they didn’t have to.

One is a white preacher that I know of (who I didn’t particular like but am proud to call him my brother) and the other is Liam Neeson.

Both were vilified by fellow white people when you KNOW that the wheels of systemic racism are greased by your silent, unspoken conditioned attitudes that will fester in your minds and will NEVER see the light of day

unless you’re willing to open up and be vilified for how you really thought or think.

That time you said, ‘Well I don’t know about her’ and it cost her that job.

Even talking about when you witnessed racial harassment by police and you walked on by (which is understandable because what are you? Daredevil?!?) would be helpful to exposing the lie.

No one expects you to inject your skin with melanin and then report on the real horrors as a white person (so you’ll be heard).

Just be a little bit more honest than you have been about your racist evil and folk like me who are watching will see it and applaud!

A belch is disgusting but as Shrek says, “Better out than in!”

Be well and be brave for once.

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...
