REVISITING TIGER WOOD’S ARREST WHEN PARKED WHILE BLACK



REVISITING TIGER WOOD’S ARREST WHEN PARKED WHILE BLACK


I don't know much about breathalyzers but if Tiger gets a 0.00, that's zero, right?

And if Jack Nicklaus was found asleep with his car running, wouldn't the cops have just escorted him home and asked for an autograph?

Shouldn't being on the front page of two major NY newspapers mean something?

Shouldn’t you have to apologize to the world for doing something more than resting in your parked car because your back pain medicine is making you woozy?

Shouting violent epithets? Nope

Resisting arrest? No. Even the cops said that he was fully compliant which means that he was mannequin compliant!

Wife beating? No.

Dog killing? No.

Underage girl? No.

Being Black in america? Yes! Hence the 'I guess he know he Black now!' meme.

But what justification do these papers and media have for running this non story ad infinitum other than racism?

Guess their audience needed to see more Black men behaving badly - even if they have to pretend it's bad - to somehow justify the horrors that they see us go through on a daily.

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!”
