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 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.

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...
