REPENTANCE FROM RACISM



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. 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.

Alcoholics have a secular group called AA where they must acknowledge a HIGHER POWER. Think about. Just breathe in and out and think about it.

A worldwide non religious group that admits that they are POWERLESS to deal with this addiction without some form of spiritual/ outside the flesh help.

And the addiction of racism is far, far worse. I have yet to see one racist admit that they are POWERLESS over their addiction.

Not one has taken a fearless moral inventory. Not one continually strives to make amends. You’re all just like dogs barking at one another: ‘racist, racist, racist’.

It’s painful to watch and painful to participate when you call us to give our input, not realizing that ANY correction to your progressive worldview can lead to us getting

fired, demoted, ostracized, targeted and killed.

I’m a christian and I’ve never fasted or prayed all night about my ingrained misogyny.

Because deep down, I’ve deemed it something that needs to change but not something that is abhorrently unacceptable in my life and in my thoughts and in my being.

If you are not spiritual, you are conditioned to hold back on the problem until a solution presents itself.

And if no solution is forthcoming, your makeup will deny that the problem exists at all.

What’s worse is that the more you deny, the better your job opportunities become. That’s called negative reinforcement. And since society is racist, society protects you and nurtures and cocoons you.

Even when you’re spiritually inclined, you’re surrounded by other spiritual people who suffer from the same malady.

No one cries out to the Almighty because everyone is blind and sight becomes a stigma.

If you could even begin to grasp the vastness of the denial that is within you and all around you, then it might humble you enough to the point where you at least stand a chance!

Scripture is useful, but without spiritual guidance, it’s just words on a page.

Pray about it. Just pray about it. And I will continually pray for you.

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.

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.

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...
