WE HAD A CHANCE

We had a chance when Obama did speak up about Harvard prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. being arrested for entering his own home.

But 'so called' black leaders like Dr. Boyce Watkins refused to back him and even called it cronyism, 

when every Black person in america (and not a few white people) knew that if he were white..

And the hashtags from Trayvon on down soon followed while Boyce’s presence coincidentally blew up - and he NEVER apologized.

It’s like there’s some sort of spell...

Can't wait 'til we have our own media. Everything changes.

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...

REPENTANCE IS THEIR ONLY CURE

I remember Sean Bell hashtagged the night before his wedding  and how NYPD is probably STILL looking the bullet they claimed he fired. And Amadou Diallo hashtagged while entering his own apt where NYPD claimed to have mistaken a wallet for a gun. While white criminals and thugs who do fire guns at their bachelor party,  brandish guns at police while entering their own homes, and shoot up High Schools and Churches make it to prison alive, unharmed and well fed. Reason #41 for the white gaze ban: They spent decades denying the disparity then when the proof became incontrovertible, they said,  ‘Oh well’ while continuing to post puppies and kittens and what they had for brunch. It’s time we FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES  and stop expecting backup from folk who have ALWAYS been conditioned to deny our humanity in the first place! 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...

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.
