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.

ON SCAPEGOATING WHITE SAVAGERY

 Those who brought their CHILDREN to lynchings dressed in their Sunday best are not ghouls or monsters or any more racist than white folk are today. They’re just people conditioned to do what white savagery tells them is acceptable. And decades from now, they’ll scapegoat the white folk today who ignore the hashtags, refuse to say fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres, creating the most incarcerating nation on the planet...EVER! All while continuing their 22nd century conditioned evils without a thought of repenting. It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”
