WHAT IT’S GONNA TAKE

Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres! (Only need 5 min to get the jist)

Don’t blame you if that’s NOT your conviction. Takes a lot of research and LISTENING to come to this obvious conclusion in a society that conditions us to laud our police

with the caveats of NOT ALL and IT’S A DANGEROUS AND THANKLESS JOB DESERVING HONOR AND RESPECT.

And the AG’s announcement, as milktoast as it is (and only coming after the disparity in treatment at the Capitol),

has to be dug up, instead of it being front page news across the nation! How can you have a conviction about firing ALL of the white cops from elsewheres when DiBlasio,

the white mayor with the Black family who ran for prez fired Pantaleo, the murderer of Eric Garner only last year, against the mandate of the DNC warning lib candidates to show us no love.

Or that NY police departments (plural) are still under investigation for running CHILD rape rings! Or that Louima was sodomized by cops with beatings that loosened his teeth and a stick jammed up his rectum,

(later requiring 3 separate surgeries to try and fix the damage) not in some dark alley by ‘rogue cops’, but right in the precinct where they later bragged about it!

‘But these are ALL honorable men!’ Don’t blame you for not having the conviction to say what needs to be said or do what needs to be done.

But just know this: until we do, the hashtags will continue. We are what we accept; and it’s long past time we stopped accepting the unacceptable. Long past.

Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

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.
