I SAID WHAT I SAID

I banned the white gaze to prevent tone policing and I would hate to have my 


FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES PATROLLING AND BRUTALIZING BLACK SPACES!


watered down so quickly, when I’m leaving FB in January.


If you feel different, that’s fine. But if bodycams didn’t work...


We’re conditioned to look towards whatever our media masters put out. And when I would tone police other Black folk, I had no idea that I was doing it and how conditioned my mindset was.


But once I knew better, I openly apologized and repented, and in doing so, my mind opened up to how hateful and harmful it is.


Anything less is a form of gaslighting.


There are folk (both white and Black) on my page who would start saying (or thinking) ‘Yeah...let’s make a degree mandatory!’ while the hashtags STILL continued!


So what I’m saying is REPARATIONS NOW and FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES!


And yeah...it is like I’m talking to myself here if you think that these milk toast options that our oppressors devise will solve the problem that they create.

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!”

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...

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.
