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!

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.
