THE DEVASTATION OF POLICE INJUSTICE

Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres!

What white people don’t understand (or maybe do understand and don’t care) is that if someone Black like me 

who’s never even smoked a cigarette in his life gets targeted by cops and ‘flaked’ (cops plant drugs on me),

then I won’t take a plea deal, will pay for bail, will pay for a lawyer until the charges are finally dismissed while they

continue to do this to countless others who look like me who might’ve smoked a cigarette or more and who cannot

afford bail and who might cop a plea deal, gaining a record. The thing about a record is that someone like me 

could no longer teach CHILDREN chess in school or out. Schools often check to see if you have a record of ANY kind.

But in either scenario, the white cops from elsewheres bypass justice. And if they are fired, they’re rehired elsewheres with a strong police union and a Gofundme to boot.

Unless they’re Black like Cariol Horne. Then the union disappears, and so does her pension after working 19 years 

and with no Gofundme for doing the right thing and keeping a brutalizing white cop from choking out 

yet another Black man while he’s in handcuffs, she’s stuck driving a truck to support her family.

Fortunately now, her case has garnered more attention, but there are so many good cops like Cariol Horne (Black and white)

who are punished or fired while the white cops from elsewheres who brutalize, flake and hashtag are 

often made heads of their departments! Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres!

It’s like I’m talking to myself here...

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!”
