SO I’M LEAVING FB IN JANUARY

So I’m leaving FB in January because I said I would if 45 did not cinch the November election.

Commonsense told me that the DNC mandate warning lib candidates to show us no love meant that Black folk en-masse

in swing states (the determining factor in the election) would not flood the polls because they were given no incentive.

But the Democratic Party did for the first time what the Republicans always do;

instead of calling their constituents to the polls, they sent the polls to their homes in the form of mail-in ballots!

Pretty clever, actually. I tend to attribute it to prayer, but it might just be someone’s ingenuity, or a little if both.

For me, this is a win win:

1. Lesser of two evils where the white savagery can go back to its previously intolerable levels and

2. I get to use this time that I’ve been pointing out commonsense to a nonsense narrative for other ventures.

I will still have my blog set up if anyone is interested.

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!”
