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.

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!”

The Kerner Commission of 1968

“Our nation is moving towards two societies: one white, one black — separate and unequal.” - Kerner Commission 1968 And this statement was made 4 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was supposed to ‘correct’ the separate and unequal. What we gained from that era is essential: the right to vote, the right to use the same facilities including bathrooms, water fountains, restaurants, libraries and schools. But during that same time, we lost our media and its narrative. Black reporters were needed to report on the Black experience and the white papers paid much better. And when the Black papers went defunct, the Black reporters (in their previous numbers) were no longer necessary. So we had no narrative to guide us into the new era. White establishments were ‘better’ so we abandoned the Black ones.  And most of our businesses dried up along with our ability to employ one another. So now we had to inordinately seek out white establishments (that...

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS!

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS! They strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel! Toxic...yet effective! I’ll be gone in January so let me leave a few tips: And if you contend with their banter (right or wrong), the truth of say the Native genocide HORROR gets lost in the sauce. They refuse to lament over the evils of the past and so reflexively, in their denial and dissonance, engage in banter meant to distract. Example: we say that we heard that ‘picnic’ means pick a n**ger to lynch. They’ll quickly chime in that that’s not the word’s etymology. They’re like SNOPES; pretending to be impartial but only (with maybe a few exceptions) chiming in on the negative regarding race. Or they’ll agree with what we’re saying but insist that we label them the exception. NOT YOU, BRADLEY! NOT YOU, VIRGINIA! The HORROR of how they’d accuse an innocent Black man (often a small business owner),  jail them, schedule their public hanging in the paper and have men, women and CHILDREN come out dressed in...
