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!

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.
