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!”

The Kerner Commission of 1968

“Our nation is moving towards two societies: one white, one black — separate and unequal.” - Kerner Commission 1968 And this statement was made 4 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which was supposed to ‘correct’ the separate and unequal. What we gained from that era is essential: the right to vote, the right to use the same facilities including bathrooms, water fountains, restaurants, libraries and schools. But during that same time, we lost our media and its narrative. Black reporters were needed to report on the Black experience and the white papers paid much better. And when the Black papers went defunct, the Black reporters (in their previous numbers) were no longer necessary. So we had no narrative to guide us into the new era. White establishments were ‘better’ so we abandoned the Black ones.  And most of our businesses dried up along with our ability to employ one another. So now we had to inordinately seek out white establishments (that...

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS!

BAN ALL OF THE WHITE GAZE COMMENTS! They strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel! Toxic...yet effective! I’ll be gone in January so let me leave a few tips: And if you contend with their banter (right or wrong), the truth of say the Native genocide HORROR gets lost in the sauce. They refuse to lament over the evils of the past and so reflexively, in their denial and dissonance, engage in banter meant to distract. Example: we say that we heard that ‘picnic’ means pick a n**ger to lynch. They’ll quickly chime in that that’s not the word’s etymology. They’re like SNOPES; pretending to be impartial but only (with maybe a few exceptions) chiming in on the negative regarding race. Or they’ll agree with what we’re saying but insist that we label them the exception. NOT YOU, BRADLEY! NOT YOU, VIRGINIA! The HORROR of how they’d accuse an innocent Black man (often a small business owner),  jail them, schedule their public hanging in the paper and have men, women and CHILDREN come out dressed in...
