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!'

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!”
