THANK YOU! YOU SAVED ME!

 Al Roker, as assimilated as they come, objects to his not covering Katrina 10 years later and they cancel his show.


Bryant Gumbel, as assimilated as they come, goes on Charlie Rose and says these racial killings must stop! Why? 


Because his son was arrested by cop for no reason other than being Black. And he rubs his own skin and says on the 


Charlie Rose show, 'My son! Because of this...skin color! Not your son, Charlie...MY SON!'


Years ago, a protester pleaded with Ray Charles not to play in a segregated theater and Ray listened. As a result, he 


was unwelcome from playing in the entire state of Georgia from 1961 until they 'welcomed' him to play in the general assembly in 1979.


According to movie lore, when the protester saw Ray turning away from the venue and he said 'thank you' 


to Ray, Ray Charles said, 'No...THANK YOU! You saved me! YOU SAVED ME!'


So, when we call racist progressives out on our wittle FB pages, instead of their response being 'What more do you want?', 


their attitude should be 'We're not worthy!' for telling them something that they should already know!


A SOUL IS A SOUL AND A LIFE IS A LIFE AND A LIE IS A LIE. 


And when we call people out on our wittle FB pages, they're not helping us...we're saving them by holding them to the standard of natural order.


We should ALL know this already and yet we need reminding. So when called out, instead of our attitude being, 


'Look..here's a concession we made, now be happy and run along', our attitude should be like Ray Charles': 'THANK YOU! You saved me! YOU SAVED ME!'

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.

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...
