SCAPEGOATING BLACK LEADERS

 Their media is skilled at laying the blame on Black leaders and that one white mayor with a Black family. 


From Shirley Chisholm to Ice Cube to every Mayor, Governor and the one Black President. But here are 5 truths:


1. When a Black elected official comes on board, the money, power and authority goes away until another white official takes their place.


2. They flood our streets with guns and drugs then overly incarcerate and incentivize our imprisonments with profit (slavery by another name).


3. Their media’s narrative will ALWAYS be that our oppression is our fault. And white people and the Black folk who worship them are conditioned to agree with that assessment.


4. Which brings me to my need to ban the white gaze comments on my page in order for us to freely speak about FIRING ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES! and REPARATIONS NOW!


5. They thoroughly vett ANY potential Black candidate with coercion and (no doubt physical) threats that they’ve more than proven that they can follow up on.


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!”
