COMMONSENSE REALLY, REALLY IS A SUPERPOWER




COMMONSENSE REALLY, REALLY IS A SUPERPOWER


Occam’s razor and Tim’s law (that’s me) are just fancy ways of saying, ‘No matter how appalling the postulate, use your commonsense’.

Since 500,000 US kids are trafficked in CHILD rape rings each year and NY police departments (plural) are STILL under investigation for running CHILD rape rings

and police CHIEFS (who run their departments) are regularly caught producing (supplying the kids) rather than just soliciting (there is a big difference), yet are constantly referred by the media as lone wolves

and 80% of kids trafficked start in CPS or foster care where Tim’s law makes even that horrifying stat far, far worse,

then the only commonsense solution you can come to is that police are doing the bulk of the trafficking.

Who else has the numbers and the authority to whisk away that many kids off the streets and from their parents and caregivers?

They are invisible because our conditioning allows them to hide in plain sight. When they are caught red handed handcuffing and detaining and ‘resettling’ our CHILDREN,

the thought of CHILD trafficking NEVER comes to mind with those tasked with ‘serving and protecting’, even in the most critical of minds.

But we have to look past the ingrained narratives to get at the obvious truth.

Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres!

A technique for breaking through denial is first applying commonsense where denial is weakest or has been proven false.

If altar boys are repeatedly raped in church, then it’s priests, nuns or admin and not Joe, waiting with a van on the corner.

And if we Black folk (along with our family members and neighbors) are inordinately dying from this virus after being sent away from hospitals 3 and 4 times?

We know how their narrative spins it because it’s blasted 24/7 but what does your commonsense tell you? C’mon, think!

If we’re constantly in wars ‘over there’ to secure our ‘safety’ then who are the warmongers?

If the most dangerous place for a woman or girl is in the home and it’s mandated shelter, what’s going to happen?

If our CHILDREN are repeatedly hashtagged by white cops from elsewheres, then what’s the commonsense thing to do?!? I mean we did try the bodycam solution and all we got was a birdseye view of their killing, so...

And there’s so much more we could change for the best, but if we cannot even grasp these basic truths...

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.

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!”

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...

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.
