SALVE FOR WHITE SAVAGERY

 Salve for white savagery:


Good trouble


I have a dream


Nonviolent resistance


Reforms


The system stinks


Not all


The whole story


Things are changing


Be like Dr. King


Check out this race book, this speaker, this nonviolent movement, fund, program, black centered opportunity, black lives matter.


All of these pundits allow them to ignore the pink elephant:


Reparations NOW


Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces and hashtagging us with impunity while their media successfully blames us for our own oppression.


For the white folk on my page who are spiritually inclined, when it comes to racism, there’s an acute lack of expressed internal reflection.


And if I allowed white comments on my page, some would disagree, citing FACTS or exceptions in their conditioned ignorance (see above) or pointing out how much they’ve pounded on their latest scapegoat or tone policing my character, saying that I’m over dramatic, overreacting, which is another way of saying uppity.


But most would agree, seeking to sidle up to me without ever saying REPARATIONS NOW or FIRE ALL OF THE WHITE COPS FROM ELSEWHERES on their pages or just PM me their “support”.


That way, when I leave FB in less than a week, their delusion will allow them to claim that I was with them or they were with me or that I’d come around to their way of thinking while the hashtags and decade long prison sentences for folk who WEREN’T EVEN AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME continued unabated.


So when I say that their conditioned thoughts spew toxic bile, it’s only because words like bile and hypocrisy and 


gaslighting are the closest words to describe their commenting experience. Not to mention the repercussions for daring to point out the truth.


And the truth is that their bile-filled, hypocritical, gaslighting comments drain me! I won’t miss that when I leave FB.

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.

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.

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...
