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.

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.

Rigged Legal System

Search words: Rigged Legal System, Gauntlet of oppression, racial profiling throughout  Years ago on jury duty, I was asked to render a ‘fair and impartial’ judgement regarding a young Black man accused of possession on the Upper East Side. There were only two Black people on the jury, myself and another dude. After a very long time, we ended up finding the defendant guilty. That’s the end of the story but not the narrative. The twelve main things I came to realize: 1. Several Black potential jurors were citing a mantra about their unwillingness to participate in a prejudiced judicial system. It was my first time hearing it but should I be called again, I’ll google it and voice my objection in the same way. 2. The suspect was stopped for a broken taillight, but as his wife said when she examined their car at the station, the light was never broken. 3. The white judge, however, ruled that the bust was still legit even though he was clearly stopped for drivin...

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...
