IT’S BEEN 12 YEARS

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 most likely be ignored as they're usually answered in the course of time through really listening.

In the coming months, our challenge will be to repent of the little things first; then work on the bigger things.

After all, the way that we are and we think today is far different from where we were at only one, two and ten months or years ago.

I’m not talking about confessing where we buried that body, but the point in time when the thoughts and actions that we once found acceptable and even praiseworthy became unacceptable or even shameful.

All this week I’ll be sharing my AHA moments of shame and what it was that changed my mindset.

Until then, be well.

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.

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES

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.

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...
