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.

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...

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.

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.
