THINGS WHITE PEOPLE CAN DO EVEN BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY REPENT

Did you ask any of your Black friends what you needed to do? Oh wait...

Until the white people on my page grasp the concept of repentance, I should lay down some ground rules of things that we hate that you do or wish that you would.

This knowledge can actually hurt you if you’re left believing that following these tenets will leave you less racist 

as opposed to less annoying and harmful in your hateful conditioning. I’ve asked fellow Black friends (if you call yourself anything but Black, you are relieved from duty this go round) on my page to comment.

Then I’ll take those comments and make them into one very looong post.

#1. Until they repent, white people need to stop telling us (or threatening us in) what to do or say or think or feel. You do not own us...anymore. 

This also includes recommending white authors to us or your white friends to be race whisperers. It’s like the pink p**** hats to us; your not so subtle way of saying that you can fight oppression better and be more civil about it.

It also includes ‘schooling’ us on our Black leaders from what you learned in your Afro history class.

All of your ‘efforts’ are designed to say that while you are ‘down’ with the struggle, you are also superior to the racist conditioning that is ingrained in our society’s fabric.

It furthers your denial about how much you benefit. Even the poorest of the poor of you don’t have their CHILDREN hashtagged!

And none of you on my page are the poorest of the poor white people anyway, so just shut up and listen for once!

And what you should do is instead of schooling your fellow white friends (your way of pointing out how ‘anti-racist’ you are),

You should share with your fellow white folk the last time you said (or thought) the N word ON YOUR PAGE AND NOT MINE (and please don’t tag me!)

Or the last time you said (or thought) of us as ‘animals’ and ‘savages’ and corrupt and morally or spiritually bankrupt or lacking or unreachable or not hiring or leading material or not a good fit 

or just believing deep down that if you were in our shoes, you know you could do it better while knowing that you’d be scared to death if you woke up Black one morning.

And for ALL the other Black folk on my page, feel free to lather on the comments. GO!

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...
