CONSERVATIVE VS LIBERAL VS OUR NARRATIVE

When they compare conservative vs liberal narratives, the 2nd seems less racist to the first...but it’s not:

“African Americans have been dying from COVID-19 at three times the rate of their white counterparts.

Republican Ohio state Sen. Steve Huffman, a physician, asked if the “colored population” was more susceptible to the coronavirus due to a lack of hand-washing, lack of social distancing or a lack of wearing masks.

He was later fired from his emergency room job over the remarks.

Liberal:

The answer is that African Americans are “more susceptible” to COVID-19 due to a systemic lack of access to Health care,

lack of testing and being disproportionately representative in jobs that do not allow the luxury of working from home.“

Our media: “When they say ‘due to a systemic lack of healthcare’, that’s white-speak for

‘Doctors, nurses and admin turned us away 3 and 4 times to further infect all of our family and neighbors’.

When I see a title with melanin and the lab coat, I hold out hope for an honest appraisal of the truth we ALL had been initially reading about;

instead, we get more soft-serve truths (which is really no truth at all) because their media will NEVER approve of what we’ve seen with our own lying eyes

if it makes white folk look bad. Eric Gardener is an extreme case of that when we ALL saw the chokehold and the white cop murderer killing him on our screens,

yet they continued to push complications due to his obesity! What’s sad is that we continue to fall for that same okey doke.

It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us.

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.
