THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR REPENTANCE WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM




THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR REPENTANCE WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM


Be aware of their feelings. Be aware of their feelings first. Find a more palatable way of calling out their racist conditioning - preferably with some white whisperer in the mix.

Often, when ‘progressive’ white folk find pages like ours, they engage in what is known as ‘course correction’:

Where they find out that thug is code for the n word so they stop using it.

They see the trend of hashtags and brutalities and offer their mew mew platitudes on our pages.

While their pages are filled with puppies and kittens and what they had for brunch.

They’ll see a post like this and realize that an extra protest meme or two needs to be thrown in the mix.

But the problem with course correction is that it’s not repentance.

When the next racist narrative comes along, because they haven’t owned up to their evil conditioning, they’ll be susceptible to that lie as well.

So until we set them straight that an inordinate number of Black folk are dying from the virus because we’re being inordinately turned away from hospitals

by doctors, nurses and admin (the same ones the world has us praising right now), they’ll attribute our susceptibility to

lack of social distancing, holding a frontline essential worker job and hypertension due to our race-related bad diet and exercise regimens.

Until they repent, they’ll always be just a snow cone away from completely losing their ‘composure’ because we’ve said

something that pricked their Benetton bubble exposing their facade. There are two types of people, spiritually speaking;

those who repent and those who do not. When it comes to white folk and racism, 99.8% fall in the ‘do not’ category.

Progressive and course correcting are made up terms that they try and substitute for the real thing along with anti-racist and white-fragility and the like.

Then they use some man or woman who loses her marbles over something we’ve said as a scapegoat, thinking that they would NEVER be that way - but they’re that way all the time; they just course correct a little better.

And the proof is when so many of them are surprised come election day, when once again 45 is elected

without ever considering their shared racist conditioning which lead up to this.

I don’t even have time to delve into their issues so I banned the white gaze entirely from my page so that we Black folk can commiserate and grow.

And by that, I mean so we can repent of our misogynoir and homophobic and rapemongering conditioning as well as other ‘issues’ that hold us back from true freedom.

So it’s never us; it’s always them. And we have our own issues so we ain’t got time for that.

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.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

 So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons?  Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth!  Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
