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.

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.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons? Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth! Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
