BREAKING THE PATTERN OF OPPRESSION



BREAKING THE PATTERN OF OPPRESSION 


So here’s the plan:

We retire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces.

Whether they have been on the job for 20 years or just the year, we give them a full pension.

We’ll pay for this generosity by hiring from within at half the outgoing salary.

Along with the halved salaries, we’ll provide guaranteed home loans so that our new police force isn’t bleeding money in rentals.

We have Black men and women who regularly police the police and provide community outlets pro bono. 

Those are who we’ll hire along with the ones they recommend. The Black folk who regularly brutalize us at the command of their white masters 

will have no place here. What we all need to understand is that eliminating these cops will also minimize the drugs, guns 

and CHILD RAPE RINGS that are currently so prevalent.

But what’s worse is they’ve convinced so many of us that we cannot police ourselves when the opposite is true.

Of course we’ll need to ‘bribe’ the municipalities around us for a time but like the white cop pensions, this will fade.

With all the money not spent paying parents for NOT murdering their CHILDREN, we’ll probably break even the 1st year.

We fancy ourselves poor business folk when the truth is that there are deliberate impediments to our progress.

And the police force has been the hand or force of that opposition. They’re not afraid of us delving into chaos when left to our own resources but quite the opposite.

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.

ON SCAPEGOATING WHITE SAVAGERY

 Those who brought their CHILDREN to lynchings dressed in their Sunday best are not ghouls or monsters or any more racist than white folk are today. They’re just people conditioned to do what white savagery tells them is acceptable. And decades from now, they’ll scapegoat the white folk today who ignore the hashtags, refuse to say fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres, creating the most incarcerating nation on the planet...EVER! All while continuing their 22nd century conditioned evils without a thought of repenting. It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

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!”
