PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS

I pray for 45. Just as I prayed for Obama and Bush and Clinton beforehand.


“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 


This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.“ - 1 Timothy 2:1-4


And before you start thinking (never commenting, of course, because you respect me too much and I have the protection that comes with being a Black cis man 


and not a Black woman so you won’t call me out of my name or question my credentials - of which I have none - or my experience, because that goes against the man code),


remember that a christian is the ONLY one who bans the white gaze without blocking or unfriending and the ONLY one who consistently says the commonsense solution 


of firing ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces while calling out the  


bought and paid for negro media that’ll take a poll on Ice Cube but will leave the DNC smoking memo and the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) alone.


And I’ve NEVER had my page suspended in over a decade on FB!


Stop judging by mere appearances and look deeper - those of you who have built up the integrity and spiritual heft, I mean.


Be well.

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!”
