SHOW ME THE MONEY

 All of the US police unions (even in liberal central NY and LA) are squarely in 45’s corner but the money that buys off both parties commands the DNC to make sure that its candidates stay mum on all of it; 


yet liberals STILL expect a record turnout of Black folk in swing states to turn the tide of the election once again.


And the hashtags with impunity happen all over America - including the swing states. Commonsense tells me that if I wouldn’t vote even if in a swing state, even knowing that a 2nd term is at stake, then why would they?


And I fully understand Black folk spouting Rock the Vote as opposed to leverage the vote, since it follows their white liberal media masters guidelines. Been there and done that.


And when they lose...again, their media will have their blame-game scapegoats in full effect to deflect from the obvious:


It’s white women who ignore trumps misogyny. It’s poor conservatives who vote against their own interests to feel good about their whiteness once again. 


It’s Black voters in swing states who once again didn’t show up en-masse like they did for Obama. It’s that darned electoral college system which we NEVER get around to abolishing.


It’s the Russians who’ve hijacked our elections! It’s all of the Black folk secretly in league with 45. (That last one is kinda laughable, but it’s successfully put out there when anyone questions the system itself).


They used to do that in the mid 20th century as well. If you wanted to unionize, you weren’t really an American but a commie pinko etc. and we fall for it every time.


So not only can the outcome be predicted, commonsense tells us the excuses that will be made for it and what will happen when we question these lame, predictable narratives. If only we’d listen.


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’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

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!”
