THE ROOTS OF MISOGYNOIR CONDITIONING IN THE MOVEMENT



THE ROOTS OF MISOGYNOIR CONDITIONING IN THE MOVEMENT

I need to dig much deeper into my misogynoir conditioning and its history.

We’ve already tried putting misogynoir conditioning as a back burner while we focused specifically on racism and look where it’s got us?

We’re at the same place today as we were 60 years ago! In some ways even worse! Back then, great men like Baldwin himself (one of the most insightful of the leaders)

who knew Toni Morrison, Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou and later Alice Walker personally,

was STILL hesitant to focus in on the revealed horrors of the mistreatment of Black women by Black men for fear that it would diffuse the movement’s energy and focus.

The ONLY ones who did tackle these evils head-on were the Panthers, who had prominent Black women leaders like Angela Davis and the like,

where they openly acknowledged and accepted them in the forefront,

and Malcolm X, where he and his wife gave up EVERYTHING for the truth, exposed Elijah Muhammad not only sleeping with his teen secretaries and impregnating them,

but revealing the hypocrisy of casting them away from the fellowship for THEIR fornication!

It’s time to educate, convict and enlighten one another like never before.

We are what we accept and it’s long past time we stopped accepting the unacceptable. Long past.

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.

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...

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...
