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.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons? Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth! Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
