MANSPLAINING

Mansplaining example:

Most of the items I repost come from women (mainly Black women). And if you've ever received my generic, 'Thanks, so and so. Reposting.' or seen 'From so and so's post.' in my comment area, that's who I mean. 

But when I do it, I get 'likes' and 'shares' and accolades saying, 'Ooh, how perceptive! I NEVER saw it that way before!'

While many originators get silence, the b word, the c word and EVEN the N word along with threats to their person and their practice or business!  

And many of them are professors, doctors, successful entrepreneurs and the like! But let them speak up and it's, 'Who are you?!?' and 'I question your credentials!'

While I have zero credentials and have never received any bile beyond, 'You're overreacting'  or 'What you said was hateful!' 

Oh, you wounded me! (Actually, they did wound me because I am human and they did hurt my feelings. #Blackfeelingsmatter).

So imagine how up in my feelings I would be if they treated me like a Black woman? In a dozen years on FB, I've never  unfriended and post that I don't unfriend 

and yet EVERY ONE of you has complied to the no cursing request on my page. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.OF.YOU.WITHOUT. EXCEPTION.HAS.GIVEN.ME.THAT.RESPECT!

But we're still in denial about misogynoir conditioning being a thing, though. And I could go on and on about how the most dangerous place for a woman is in the home, etc. but you get the point. 

Misogynoir conditioning and Mansplaining is killing US!

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.
