THE RACIST HYPOCRISY OF CIVILIAN AFFAIRS

 Their narrative allows us to call out our scapegoats and say ‘Fire 45 and the Republican Party!’ 


And not one christian will dare bring ‘civilian affairs’ or ‘hate only breeds hate’ into it because white lives and laws affecting white people are involved,


(correction: white lives not specifically standing up for Black lives. They have abhorrent names for white folk who back us; one of them is ‘race traitor’.


That’s why Kyle Rittenhouse gets high fives from white cops from elsewheres and continued support - financial and otherwise - even though he shot 3 unarmed white men (supporting Black lives), killing 2 and maiming 1 (the 3rd man lost his arm).


It’s also why there’s ZERO coverage on their lives and the lives of their families. Because the media does not allow any sympathy for white people who protest against the oppression of Black people.


And don’t be fooled; it IS about race. But they won’t hesitate to lynch white lives who support Black ones to serve as an example to the others. And what a powerful example it is!


And when a Black cop shoots a white woman for startling him by banging on the back of his squad car (even though if a Black woman did the same exact action, we’d all be like WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?),


he does hard time and they hold the chief responsible and force her to resign, simply because this white woman’s death happened under her department’s watch.


There’s an out of court settlement of 20mil for her family before they even have time to protest JUSTICE FOR ___ or even hire a lawyer!


Their media, once again, calls her the most innocent of victims.


In contrast, when white cops from elsewheres REFUSE to follow the racist mandate of oppressing us, they’re ALL fired without fanfare.


When a white nurse Wubbels is handcuffed HANDCUFFED!, they ban ALL cops from the hospital long before it hits the media’s attention or there’s even time to protest!


When cops do a no knock raid on a white family, they disband that ENTIRE DEPARTMENT!


So when I say FIRE THEM ALL!,


I’m specifically talking about ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces with impunity.


One of these things is not like the other. These other issues have systems in place to take care of themselves.


If I bring it up at all, it’s only to point out the disparity in treatment.

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.
