IF HISTORY TELLS US THAT THE LEADERS OF THE PAST ARE STUPID, DIG DEEPER

One problem that I’ve had about the past is asking ‘Didn’t our leaders see the inherent problem in all of these white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces?’

I’m gratified to find that the answer is ‘Of course they did!’ But you have to dig deeper than the history books. Look at the YouTube videos of speeches and things like letters from Birmingham jails to find the truth.

So the next time someone says that King should’ve realized beforehand that we were integrating into a burning house, remember that this 39 year old at the time of his murder was one of the wisest men on the planet and that there are other options besides ignorance.

Given the nature of racism in America, one option is that what they told him about integration wasn’t their actual practice policy implemented.

Another option is that he had to cut a deal, meaning that in order for integration to occur, they had to give up certain businesses of their own.

There are so many variables that in order to find out the reality, we’d need our own media to look at the living history of those were there to tell us the truth.

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.

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES

SCRATCH THE SURFACE AND THEIR TRUE RACIST VISAGE EMERGES Reason #44 for banning the white gaze: Scratch the surface and their true visage emerges. “HOW about reperations for all the White families who’s sons daughters fathers fought in the Union Army to Free the Slaves? How about we drop this entire ridiculous vacuous insane argument about reparations.” Chuck Woolery - Wheel of Fortune game show host.

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE

WHOEVER CONTROLS THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE White cops NEVER leak to the press that they’re now investigating specific members (by name) of the Aryan Brotherhood. When it’s them, the investigation is ALWAYS ongoing. But when it’s us, they ‘leak’ that Sandra was ‘suicidal’, Cyntoia and Mike Brown and Marissa Alexander were ‘no Angels’, Korryn was ‘unstable’, King was a philanderer, Trayvon engaged in ground n pound because he watched ultimate fighting on tv (or how the media runs with his dad saying that the blood-curdling scream heard on the 911 call of a neighbor was NOT his son. The last time we heard our son give a piercing scream was when he was slightly colicky at 3months old!). Or it was leaked that grandma Eleanor Bumpers came at the armed and armored cops with a kitchen knife so they had to shoot during the no-knock raid on the wrong home. Or the leak that Sean Bell shot at cops first on eve before his wedding day. Or the leak that Tawana Brawley did...
