SO I’M CANCELING MY AMAZON PRIME MEMBERSHIP




SO I’M CANCELING MY AMAZON PRIME MEMBERSHIP


So I’m canceling my Amazon Prime account. They don’t make it easy having me jump through hoops to do it when they could just put it on the menu list to unsubscribe.

I had to go to the questions list and type in www.amazon.com/gp/primecentral

The good news is that one of my chess clients had given me a gift card (that I forgot about) and I had points accrued so my final order which would have cost $80 only cost $9.

I opted for the movie & shows portion because it came with the free shipping

but there isn’t anything that I want to see there that I haven’t seen already.

“Smalls says the employee who tested positive came into contact with many other workers for longer periods of time before her test came back.

He claims he was singled out after pleading with management to sanitize the warehouse and be more transparent about the number of workers who were sick.“

So now they’re out my $13 a month or $156 a year. The power of one. 156 x 1 million subscribers is 156 million.

The bad publicity is gonna cost them far more than if this pathology of systemic racism had decided to break the trend

and treated this Black man with respect for once. It’s gonna cost them far more than face masks, decent working conditions and pay.

But even if it does not, they will get no more of my money! It’s called self respect. Google it!

Boycotting the NFL because of Kaep was easy for me since I rarely watch.

Boycotting Starbucks a while back was very difficult with the free WiFi and the Moco Choco Latta Lattas and the convenient workspace for my small chess business.

And that was just one mal treatment from one Starbucks. But the racist pathology got exposed so they had to make changes across the board.

But now with the lockdown, everyone is boycotting. Go figure.

But here with Amazon, they’re exposed with having meetings with the CEO of this multi-billion dollar company to besmirch brotherman’s name!

AS IF WE BLACK FOLK DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS LIVING OUR OUR FREAKIN’ LIVES ALREADY!

But it’s racism combined with greed and a lack of integrity.

Years back, me and this white woman bump into each other while I’m holding our infant son.

It was just a light tap but she does this film flam operation - only I can’t be 100% sure. That’s how it works.

We call the cops who tell me just to walk away. I give this older woman my number just to be sure.

She ends up suing and it costs us a chunk of change because we didn’t have insurance to cover that.

My makeshift lawyer that I got through the ad company I used to work for told me to counter sue. I told him that we can’t do that because it was barely a tap.

So it all cost us.

Years later, I’m riding on my adult scooter with the light and a Big Mac Truck rams into me (driver clearly drowsing at the wheel while running the red light). My scooter gets snapped like kindling but I manage to grab the grill in front to keep from going under.

Clearly, The Almighty was with me! I get this white driver’s number, he pays for the scooter and I call him back a week or so later to tell him I’m ok.

If we keep living in this toxic, racist environment, we’re gonna run out of honorable men and women like Kalief Browder,

who spent 3 YEARS at Rikers for refusing to  to cop to stealing a backpack!

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!”
