Let’s do the CHILD RAPE RING math for the US alone. According to the department of justice, 800,000 CHILDREN go missing each year. Minus the 200,000 taken by family with no legal custody. Minus the 58,000 taken by strangers. Minus the 115 kidnapped for ransom. You read it right. Only 115 each year out of the 800,000.  This brings the number to little over half a million (conservatively) who are brought into CHILD RAPE RINGS through the foster care and police systems in the US alone. This may or may not include the 2 million kids who run away from home each year. And this poverty creation and prison industrial complex is all by design, exacerbating the already unlivable conditions for kids to survive in the home. Now you mean to tell me that our gov’t can calculate what each of us owes in taxes but can’t follow the money on this massive EVIL?!? In the words of the late, great Dick Gregory: “What kind of fool is you?!?” Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes and I ...

I remember Sean Bell hashtagged the night before his wedding  and how NYPD is probably STILL looking the bullet they claimed he fired. And Amadou Diallo hashtagged while entering his own apt where NYPD claimed to have mistaken a wallet for a gun. While white criminals and thugs who do fire guns at their bachelor party,  brandish guns at police while entering their own homes, and shoot up High Schools and Churches make it to prison alive, unharmed and well fed. Reason #41 for the white gaze ban: They spent decades denying the disparity then when the proof became incontrovertible, they said,  ‘Oh well’ while continuing to post puppies and kittens and what they had for brunch. It’s time we FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES  and stop expecting backup from folk who have ALWAYS been conditioned to deny our humanity in the first place! 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...

The more I know, the harder it is for me to admit when I'm wrong. Am I the only one who suffers from this malady?

I love it when white folk speak up about racism. But there is a learning curve. All it takes is one slip up like 'All lives matter' or 'we're all in this together' or saying 'thug' or 'huckster' and then a good speech becomes cringe-worthy. Then there's the whole bruised ego problem which brings up a tendency for defensiveness instead of treating it like constructive criticism and just apologizing. Of course, then there are the ones who start too early before detoxing from privilege and when you correct them, they're like: 'I'm fighting for you people and you betray me like this?!?' So there's that. [Just three more reasons for banning the white gaze]

Every time I hear about Gay Pride, I'm reminded of my silence during the 80's AIDS crisis and the countless lives that were lost as a result of collective denial. Then on an FB page, I hear about the fight to bury the dead and to get hospice care. Another friend tells me about guys from Jersey who would regularly drive to the Village in their pickup trucks to beat up gays. Then there's the ostracized family, the suicides, the bullying, the murders because 'she wasn't whom she seemed to be'; the trauma of DAILY oppression. So when folk ask why I don't unfriend, it's because I keep my mirror in front of me and recognize that sanity is a process.

In 1981, Reagan fired over 11,000 striking air traffic controllers because of plane delays. PLANE DELAYS! Then he imposed a lifetime ban on all strikers who did not immediately return to work. That means that long after he left office, they could NEVER be hired again. So don't tell me that firing white cops from elsewheres and training and hiring within with mandates from the community itself is not feasible! All we need is conviction and imagination.

Systemic racism requires a systemic solution. They couldn't just make a law to integrate southern schools, they had to send in the National Guard. When it comes to white cops policing Black spaces with their racist mandates, better training or civilian oversight is not gonna cut it. Better training won't get cops indicted when they murder unarmed men, women and CHILDREN. Civilian oversight won't keep them from sending the trial to Albany or Rockland County or giving them an ALL WHITE JURY or stop the prosecutor from recommending a lenient sentence or keep the judge from agreeing. It won't keep the media from painting 14 yr. olds as thugs and menaces while ignoring the records of the killer police. And it won't keep you from remaining silent or espousing the narrative that the media comes up with to explain it all away, knowing that your children are safe and will NEVER be their target. Fire them! Fire them all!

ON ‘SPARE THE KIDS’ BY DR. PATTON  Several years back, I spanked our son the one time in the presence of my mom who had only spanked me the one time. I used to be proud of that fact until I heard about Dr. Stacey Patton from my FB feed and her book: Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won’t Save Black America. After reading the book, I became ashamed. When she later asked for online testimonials, I didn’t offer for fear of being labeled ‘one of those’. After praying about it and meditating on it for a long time, I developed a conviction. It’s like my reasoning skills had atrophied and I was learning to walk again. After all, I would NEVER put hands on someone else’s CHILD or any of the chess students that I teach. Or imagine if I were to say, ‘I only had to spank my wife THE ONE TIME.’ In short, my morality was bypassed due to socialization. Dr. Patton’s book delves DEEPLY into the scriptures commonly interpreted to defend spanking as well as the impact of slavery on our ‘upbring...

When it comes to us ROCKING THE VOTE, I had this same conversation during the last Pre-election cycle.  The ONLY difference is that since I’ve banned the white gaze,  I’m only talking to folk who mutually FEEL THE PAIN AND FEAR of hashtags, profiling, discrimination and the like which affords my being able to use the SAME argument with a MORE GENTLE tone. White people don’t care about us; not because they’re EVIL but because they’re conditioned to treat us in an evil manner. Everyone who’s Black on my page already knows this (or that this is MY viewpoint at least).  There is a difference between evil and conditioned evil. Conditioned evil allows them to be up in arms about immigrant CHILDREN locked in cages with ‘ABOLISH ICE’ and ‘CITY SANCTUARIES’ and the like while remaining silent about 2 hashtags a week every week by white cops from elsewheres WITH IMPUNITY! The IMPUNITY part is what allows the hashtags to continue because if each white cop faced true justice for thei...

Do you know one way  (of many ways) that oppression was successfully fought without guns or bombs or violence? Read the book of Esther and then get back to me.

Lawyers say that Eric Garner died because he was obese. And if he were skinny like Freddie Gray, they’d say there wasn’t enough cushion to pad his fall. FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES PATROLLING AND BRUTALIZING BLACK SPACES AND TRAIN AND HIRE WITHIN WITH MANDATES FROM THE COMMUNITY ITSELF AND WATCH 95% OF OUR NEWSFEED JUST **POOF** DISAPPEAR. 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.

"They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect;  and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic whenever a profit could be made by it." ~ Chief Justice Roger B. Taney - 1857 We can't keep living in the 21st century with 19th century laws in place.

What were all of those white cops doing policing Standing Rock? Sometimes it's easier to see the absurdity outside of our sphere.

Again, let’s break things down: Conservatives will not switch parties. Liberals will not switch parties. Black folk rocking the vote in swing states were the determining factor in this past election cycle. It was Hillary or Bernie’s race to win. And back then, the going rate for my vote was cheap! A mandate declaring NO MORE HASHTAGS OF UNARMED BLACK CHILDREN BY WHITE COPS! They wouldn’t have even needed to have a comprehensive plan by election. The statement would have been enough. Everyone else including the cops would have voted the same but Black folk would’ve turned up in droves! All it took for DiBlasio to be elected Mayor twice! was for that white man to show his Black family (in particular his son with the poofy, poofy Afro). The papers hate him. The cops hate him. And all of the white folk who don’t have a Black friend NOT in their employ hate him.  But he got elected twice. That’s the power of the Black turnout. Today, the price of my vote is much, much higher. Back then,...

Do you realize that there was a trial going on where a cop raped 37 black women and the judge ordered a news media blackout? Today, the media cannot cover the news. Today, we'll outlaw hoodies. Today, we'll assault and arrest protesters. Today, we provide police protection for the Klan. Today, Slager is ineligible for death row. Today, we won't mention any 'trans' deaths. Today, weed is legal only for white vendors. Today, we grieve for the families of murderers. Today, even the little girls and boys seduce. Today, we drink from poisoned bottled water because the poisoned tap water is still being poisoned by the poisoners who sell both! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

Community policing ONLY! Fire the white cops from elsewheres and train and hire within with mandates from the community itself and watch 95% of our newsfeed just **poof** disappear. It's not just that these cops murder unarmed men, women and CHILDREN with impunity which would be bad enough,  but they facilitate the bringing in of drugs, guns and crime as well as decrease the go-around dollar which would increase with those within the community serving and protecting. And this is all by design with white men recruited out of High School to police Black neighborhoods at a ratio of 90% or more. Again, if they recruited me to police your area and told me that it was because you couldn't do for yourself, I wouldn't respect you either. Fire them ALL!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "If it may be said of the slavery era that the white man took the world and gave the Negro Jesus, then it may be said of the Reconstruction era that the southern aristocracy took the world and gave the poor white man Jim Crow,” he declared.  “And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the Black man. And he ate Jim Crow.  And when his undernourished children cried out for the necessities that his low wages could not provide, he showed them the Jim Crow signs on the buses and in the stores, on the streets and in the public buildings. And his children, too, learned to feed upon Jim Crow, their last outpost of psychological oblivion.”

It's not our religions so much as it is our internal philosophy that needs changing - that bypasses our ingrained morality and our critical thinking skills. Look at any religious writing and you'll see folk doing the exact opposite while claiming to be acolytes.  Humility is NOT thinking that all of them are misguided but somehow, through our superior intellect, we remain immune.

Our biggest challenge is not the one who says, 'I'll do whatever it takes to keep you down', but the one who says,  'I'm with you all the way but you cannot possibly think that you can govern yourselves'.

As a christian or anyone else who is spiritually inclined, whether we are praised for speaking the truth or condemned, it's all a WIN. And that, dear children, is what makes us so dangerous.

IT’S BEEN 12 YEARS It's been 12 years on social media and I want to congratulate ALL of my friends for eliminating these terms from their 'public' vocabulary:  1. Thug 2. What about black on black crime? 3. The N word spelled out. 4. Reverse racism/race baiting/hustler/card 5. ON BOTH SIDES (personal pet peeve comparing Klan with protesters). 6. ALL/BLUE/ANIMAL (or any other term but BLACK) LIVES MATTER 7. I don't see color/colorblind 8. You don't know THE WHOLE STORY/Just comply. 9. You're overreacting. 10. Race is a made up construct meant to divide. We're ALL in this together! 11. agree with your goals, but not your methods. 12. Your hate talk does not expose the hate; it only breeds it. 13. Calling armed white supremacists militia and lone wolves instead of organized hate crime domestic terrorists. And my all time favorite: 14. Your protest posts hurt MY feelings. Again, any queries should be sent privately to avoid public shaming. Private messages will ...

Racism has a pattern of apologizing about 50 years after the EVIL takes place. Expect the hashtag museum at around 2050.

What folk hate most about Jesus is that they've never seen Jesus. And that's on us. Taye Del Val I like Christ. I don't like Christians. I've moved away from Christianity. I study Buddhism and Wicca. I see nothing wrong with Christ inherently. While it was forced on us, I don't necessarily see it as evil other than the way people pervert the Bible to serve their own needs.

Indoctrinated Philosophy: That's how we get 'Slaves, obey your earthly masters' to justify genocide, rape, debasement and brutality when it's among the top 10 no, no's in most any religious book. And how we don't get 'But if you can obtain your freedom, do so' to mean kill your master's family while they're sleeping, take their horses and guns and run away. Also a no, no. Funny that.

Mainstream media’s like taking the tour bus;  the travel is scripted and you go where they say.  Having your own media’s like owning a car.  You cruise where you want… when you want;  see all the sights as you examine your world around you.  Then come back and tell all your friends.  Not quite the same experience.

As a christian, how I'm treated affects me for 50 to 120 years tops. How I treat others impacts me for eternity.

I stopped using those smiley faces 🙂about four years ago.  While I thought that they added a certain nuanced humor, a friend convinced me that it was my way of softening the blow of my words. Placating. And it only took her four tries. The first three I pooh, poohed her off, but by the fourth, it was like I saw these smiley faces EVERYWHERE in my memory feed! Besides me of course, who loves you this much?

Sandra Bland was murdered in prison. How else do you explain her 6ft. frame hanging from a 5ft. post with defensive wounds on her arms? This was done after she was arrested via the cop trick: the police car speeds up behind you and you naturally move to the side before indicating with your blinkers that you're doing so. Eric Garner wasn't Black while selling anything. There were no loosie cigarettes found in his car or on his person. He was murdered for, as Jessie Williams says, ‘acting free’. Please stop reciting the false narratives that they feed you. Can't wait 'til we have our own media. Everything changes.

Shiping Bao, the Chinese coroner of 19 years was told to go along with the racist mandate by saying that Trayvon Martin engaged in 'ground n pound' on Zimmermann. When he refused and said that according to the autopsy results, the victim showed no signs of fighting back before he was shot to death, Bao was summarily fired. Bao later found a job elsewhere and said that he would miss the sunny weather but not the racial climate. We’re not worthy!

After the Boston Massacre of 1770, the British troops were tried in the colonies where they patrolled  and all other British soldiers were sent away as a result to ensure that such an incident NEVER happened again.

Denying that there’s racism is racism. Not acknowledging the evil is EVIL.

What a lot of white people (and the Black folk who worship them) STILL don’t get is that my vote is inconsequential in democratic NY but my sentiment felt by many Black folk in swing states is extremely relevant.

If AOC were qualified (age-wise) she’d be a shoe-in. Not because she’s smart, pretty or ethnic, but you know where she stands without saying it. Lessons yet to be learned by this current crop.

The Milgram experiment proved that ordinary people were capable of extraordinary EVIL if told by an authority to do it in small increments.

White folk look at legalized marijuana as a win-win. They get paid and ALL the Black bucks stay in jail for doing (or being framed for doing) what they’re doing.

Again, conservatives have trickle down economics and liberals have trickle down politics with the same message: Wait your turn.

The forces fighting against us are not tricksters;  they are destroyers that will do WHATEVER to keep us from repenting.

White people have no idea how many barbs they throw at us and think we don’t notice...but we do.

If you are white and STILL on my page, it means that you’re trying and I applaud you for that. But trying’s not good enough; you need to repent.

Repentance from racism: It is not a general apology. ‘I’m sorry for your struggle!’ It is not just confessing your dirty little racist secret: ‘I clutched my purse that time I got on the elevator with a Black guy with a suit - and he was my interviewer!Lol.’ It’s also not being ‘non-racist’ or ‘anti-racist’ to make yourself feel better. It’ll only leave you attacking all those racists over there. And it’s certainly not saying, FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES! While it’s appreciated that you were persuaded, if my page disappeared tomorrow, someone else would persuade you otherwise with ‘NOT ALL’ and the like  and you would lack the spiritual and moral conviction to stand against their racist reasoning. And repentance is certainly not a hat tip or salute in my direction while you continue to go about your racist merry way. Repentance is taking a 180 degree turn from where you were going. If that seems easy, it only solidifies the deep state of denial that you are in. Alcoh...

If you are a white teacher, here are 10 things you should and shouldn’t do in the classroom regarding race that no one has told you: #1. Don’t bring up ANYTHING race-related in the class unless you’re willing to talk about what you’re currently repenting of. And since that’s not happening... #2. Don’t try and mimic the one Black teacher in your school across the hall. You’re ill-equipped and will be outed by your students as an uncaring fraud. Save it for the yearly fantasy movies where the white woman comes in and inspires her kids through rap or classical. #3. If your Black students bring up Black stuff, just nod and shake your head. You’ll appear wiser than you actually are. #4. When I was doing poorly in math one semester, my white math teacher assigned me and one of the top students in the class to do study drills. My grades went sky high and for the final I scored the equivalent of an A+. But for my efforts, my fellow students accused us of somehow cheating (meaning I cheated off...

Did you ask any of your Black friends what you needed to do? Oh wait... Until the white people on my page grasp the concept of repentance, I should lay down some ground rules of things that we hate that you do or wish that you would. This knowledge can actually hurt you if you’re left believing that following these tenets will leave you less racist  as opposed to less annoying and harmful in your hateful conditioning. I’ve asked fellow Black friends (if you call yourself anything but Black, you are relieved from duty this go round) on my page to comment. Then I’ll take those comments and make them into one very looong post. #1. Until they repent, white people need to stop telling us (or threatening us in) what to do or say or think or feel. You do not own us...anymore.  This also includes recommending white authors to us or your white friends to be race whisperers. It’s like the pink p**** hats to us; your not so subtle way of saying that you can fight oppression better and be...

The IRS compounds debt so fast that it makes the mafia blush.

Racism is so strong in America that repentance is a foreign term; even to christians.

White whisperers who call out the sins of others while admitting to nothing themselves because of superior intellect and upbringing annoy me.

Did only a chosen few know about the illegal offsite area in Chicago? Did two white cops sodomize Louima in New York with a nightstick in a nice quiet room in the precinct where no one could hear his screams? Denial is KNOWING their corruption yet choosing to believe the oppressor (in spite of the 2 separate eyewitnesses) is because this time the Black man is gay.

When the Germans kept specific records where and when, even tattooing serial #’s on their arms but folk are STILL in denial. Have we learned nothing?!?

Just like they know where ALL of the immigrant CHILDREN are locked up in cages, they know where all of the CHILD RAPE RINGS are located. NY police departments (plural) are STILL under investigation for running CHILD rape rings! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

TAMIR would’ve been 18, just like many of our CHILDREN - had he not been murdered! And all of our FB friends who gaslight our pain will NEVER apologize and it’s not their fault; they are conditioned to see us as not fully human.

Racist conservative media says ‘Screw ‘em’, while liberal media says ‘I’m sorry you got screwed! See my tears?’

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." - Proverbs 31: 8, 9

IF YOU ARE WHITE If you are white and STILL on my page, it means that you’re trying and I applaud you for that. But trying’s not good enough; you need to repent.

REPENTANCE FROM RACISM Repentance from racism: It is not a general apology. ‘I’m sorry for your struggle!’ It is not just confessing your dirty little racist secret: ‘I clutched my purse that time I got on the elevator with a Black guy with a suit - and he was my interviewer!Lol.’ It’s also not being ‘non-racist’ or ‘anti-racist’ to make yourself feel better.

WHEN WHITE FOLK ASUAGE THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THAT ‘IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME’ THEY KNEW EVEN BACK THEN As the French political theorist Montesquieu observed wryly in 1748: “It is impossible for us to suppose these creatures [enslaved Africans] to be men; because allowing them to be men, a suspicion would follow that we ourselves are not christians.”

ONLY RACISM IS A CIVILIAN AFFAIR IN CHRISTIANDOM Since I’ve banned the white gaze, some have loved it while others have hated it but not one has openly repented. And that’s not the worst of it; what’s most disturbing is that there is no wrestling with the Almighty in prayer over it. No call to study out God’s plan in the face of this spiritual plague. And no thought put into why some EVILS are acceptable for christians to speak up against while others are not. Immigrant CHILDREN being ripped from their parents: yes Black CHILDREN hashtagged by white cops from elsewheres: no. 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.

MOST EVERYONE Most everyone has the same three or four opinions and any thought outside of that is utter heresy.

I TELL YOU THE TRUTH "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17: 20a - 21

RACISM HAS NO ALLEGIANCE EXCEPT TO ITS OWN GREED Bayer, Ford, IBM, GM, Hugo BOSS and Chase and American oil companies like Dow to name a few, who worked with the Nazis.

THE EPITOME OF RACISM The epitome of racism is a media that demands forgiveness when there is no justice and a society that dwells on our grieving responses to an impossible situation.

IF YOU CAN CONTROL A PERSON’S THINKING "If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one." ~ Carter G. Woodson

THE DYNAMICS OF CONDITIONED MISOGYNY One of my youngest chess kids said, “Since there are more of us in the class than boys, you should say ‘YOU GIRLS’.” When your student is so new to this world that the conditioning hasn’t kicked in where even with one boy in the room, saying ‘YOU GIRLS’ would be utter heresy.

THE RAPIST The rapist looks exactly like the one you'd love to marry. The church shooter like the one who gave his life in the freedom rides.

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES Reason #44 for banning the white gaze: Scratch the surface and their true visage emerges. “HOW about reperations for all the White families who’s sons daughters fathers fought in the Union Army to Free the Slaves? How about we drop this entire ridiculous vacuous insane argument about reparations.” Chuck Woolery - Wheel of Fortune game show host.

THE ROOTS OF MISOGYNOIR CONDITIONING IN THE MOVEMENT I need to dig much deeper into my misogynoir conditioning and its history. We’ve already tried putting misogynoir conditioning as a back burner while we focused specifically on racism and look where it’s got us? We’re at the same place today as we were 60 years ago! In some ways even worse! Back then, great men like Baldwin himself (one of the most insightful of the leaders) who knew Toni Morrison, Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou and later Alice Walker personally, was STILL hesitant to focus in on the revealed horrors of the mistreatment of Black women by Black men for fear that it would diffuse the movement’s energy and focus. The ONLY ones who did tackle these evils head-on were the Panthers, who had prominent Black women leaders like Angela Davis and the like, where they openly acknowledged and accepted them in the forefront, and Malcolm X, where he and his wife gave up EVERYTHING for the truth, exposed Elijah Muham...

FLAWED MORALITY A strong morality with impaired conditioning leaves one leg shorter than the other. We’ll only be walking in circles.

SHIRLEY CHISHOLM Shirley Chisholm represented what the US and the world might have become... and they shut her down real quick!

RACIST CONDITIONING MEANS THAT THE SAME WHITE PERSON CAN MAKE BOTH STATEMENTS AND NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE DUALITY "For those of us white people living in this time and place, who think that in apartheid South Africa we would have actively opposed white supremacist rule, who think that if we'd been alive during the civil rights era we'd have been Freedom Riders or at least supported the sit-ins, if you would have actively condemned the Birmingham church bombing as a terrorist act... don't sleep on this moment we live in now in which you too are being called to take a stand." ME: I currently have a white gaze ban on my page as it is an indicator that this is not a safe place to commiserate and grow. Them: “Was an ally. Bye!” Denial: it’s a helluva drug!

HOLD THE RACIST MEDIA TO ACCOUNT Let’s hold the racist media to account. They're the ones who ask, 'Do you forgive' & 'Are your protests to our oppression peaceful?'

CUBA BE LIKE: Cuba be like: 'We'll give you Assata when Bush and Cheney are tried in Iraq for their war crimes or when Gov. Snyder gets life in prison for his act of domestic terrorism, poisoning the water which killed at least 17 and damaged the minds of hundreds of thousands of children or when Hell freezes over...whichever comes first.' Bad as they wanna be!

WHAT THEY DO WHEN POLICE HARM WHITE PEOPLE Let’s fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces and train and hire within with mandates from the community itself and watch 95% of our newsfeed just **poof** disappear. That’s what white folk do when police injustice happens to white folk. One no-knock raid on one white family caught on film and they suspended the entire police department. One white nurse Wubbels gets handcuffed and they ban ALL COPS from their hospital. One white woman shot while banging on the back of the windshield of a police car (something that no Black person would EVER do and if they did, even WE would roll our eyes at her stupidity) and the police CHIEF gets fired (they force her to resign).
