THE CORONER VIRUS



THE CORONER VIRUS


So last week, a Chinese couple that I work with (they’ve been in business in our area for over 33 years) asked what I thought about this virus.

I told them that MY concern is the hashtags by cops twice a week, EVERY WEEK and another Black guy on death row who is once again innocent. They felt relieved.

Yesterday, one of my CHILD student chess champions loudly proclaims in their shop that she knows where the coroner virus comes from.

I say, “Really?”

CSCC: A friend of mine said that the Chinese cut the heads off of snakes and put them in soups and that’s how they got infected.

Me: So your friend says it’s their diet. And where did your friend hear about this?

CSCC: I don’t know.

Me: And if I repeat just what I heard from you without really knowing, don’t you think that would be hateful to the Chinese?

CSCC: (thinking)

Me: When they said Aids came from Africa via monkeys, everyone who looked like me was suspect.

And when cops arrest people who look like me more, they say that it’s because we’re more prone to violence and crime but that’s not true at all; we’re just being targeted.

CSCC: (thinking)

Me: Ask your friend where she heard it from because it’s hateful and untrue. If we eat (or don’t eat the same food all the time), then why would the same food cause a virus now?

What spreads faster than any virus is rumors and fear.

CSCC: I’ll ask her where she heard it and let her know tomorrow Coach Tim not to spread rumors!

Once again, my older Chinese friends were relieved.

So now Italy has quarantined over a dozen of its cities over 79 infected and 2 confirmed deaths.

They banned ALL cops from a hospital because one white nurse Wubbels gets handcuffed.

They have since executed that innocent Black man and there are still 2 hashtags a week EVERY WEEK by white cops from elsewheres with impunity since FOREVER!

Where’s the quarantine on that? It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us. Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

ON SCAPEGOATING WHITE SAVAGERY

 Those who brought their CHILDREN to lynchings dressed in their Sunday best are not ghouls or monsters or any more racist than white folk are today. They’re just people conditioned to do what white savagery tells them is acceptable. And decades from now, they’ll scapegoat the white folk today who ignore the hashtags, refuse to say fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres, creating the most incarcerating nation on the planet...EVER! All while continuing their 22nd century conditioned evils without a thought of repenting. It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

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!”
