I WILL INVEST IN GREENWOOD’s BLACK BANK

 If I deposit money in a major or community bank, it’s safe. If I invest it at a Black bank, it may get taken over by a larger one where I’ll still get it back,


but the whole point of switching is so that we can begin to build. Because if they jilted the small white businesses during Covid by sending their allotted loans to the bigger corps.,


then guess what they’re going to do with those PPP loans where small Black businesses are supposed to be the “priority”!


(I touch base with other small Black business owners to see how their loan process is going because that’s energy that I do not have to waste).


So either these Black banks have been negligent in the past or targeted or both. That’s why I call it an investment rather than just a deposit.


Now not every big (and therefore white) bank needed a bailout during that last “crisis”. But every big bank got one, whether they needed it or not!


In the same way, not every white cop from elsewheres hashtags; but every white cop from elsewheres who does hashtag gets backing from fellow cops, 


the media, the courts, their union and the general white public, doling out GoFundme’s to these murderers in the millions or saying NOT ALL and WE NEED TO HEAR THE WHOLE STORY 


and FIRING ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES WHO DO THE HASHTAGGING WOULD BE JUST AS HEINOUS AS THE HASHTAGGING ITSELF!


While white cops from elsewheres (along with the Black ones) who don’t go along to get along with the racist mandate are surreptitiously fired without much media fanfare, union support or civilian uproar.


But I will invest in Greenwood bank. Nothing beats a failure but a try.


Much to pray, meditate and commiserate about. Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

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.

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...

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
