All White people (directly and/or indirectly) have the power and privilege to navigate between being racists, suspected racists, and antiracists at their leisure.
Before diving into this essay, you may want to read my original thought, Yes My Dear, All White People Are Racists here on Medium at parked at the Age of Awareness publication. In fact, I insist you read it before going forward to gain a better understanding of what I’m about to say in this piece. Don’t forget to read the comments. Please don’t skip the comments. If you’ve read it already, let’s proceed.
After a year, I wanted to expand on my thoughts about racism and White people, the creators of the races, racism, and White Supremacy. …
First, learn what racism is, and what it’s not. I need White people to understand that all White people are racist.
Admit it, and let’s move onto the business of repairing and healing the country. We can’t do it without you.
Yes my dears, all White people are racists. All. Of. Them.
Here is where you stop to cry, clutch your pearls, rant and rave aloud to tell me how wrong I am, and to tell me not all White people. I’m doing reverse racism (there’s no such thing as reverse racism), and you’re ready to do tit for tat…
Our views are different. We keep it real.
Black Journalism Often Goes Unappreciated By Non-Whites
I read a great story recently in the New York Times about the late Charles Loeb, a Black journalist who exposed the lies of the United States and the White media on the damaging effects the Atomic Bomb had on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Charles H. Loeb was a negro war correspondent (back in the 40s his racial designation was negro) for his own newspaper, The Atlanta Daily World, the nation’s only Black newspaper in America at the time. The paper was distributed widely throughout Black America via the National Negro Publishers Association. …
Rose McGowan’s latest antics highlight the winding roads White feminism takes to get what it wants.
Rose McGowan Pattycakes With White Supremacy
Rose McGowan, the self-anointed “#MeToo” queen herself went from being a victim of sexual assault and manipulation to being a villain in a few short years. That chick has an ax to grind with liberal White people, and she’s getting her chops in by any means necessary, even if it means pandering to Uncle Ruckus,’ siding with alleged sexual abusers (even though she claims she’s a victim herself), throwing Black people with no power under speeding buses, or playing politics with Black lives. McGowan’s siding with the party that’s anti-Black, anti-change, and anti-rights for Black people as long as she…
White power is ready to move on from Black folks, but we simply aren’t ready to let them.
We Haven’t Learned From Our Past Mistakes
I recently had the pleasure of watching a video produced back in 1972 of Black and African American leaders in America from all different backgrounds, religions, and ideologies on how Black people should navigate living in White America. The panel was formed in an effort to figure out if desegregation and busing were good things for Black people, could they engage in self-determination under White rule, and if it was too late for Black people to live in peace in America. The video is haunting (watch it below), but almost like a prophecy of sorts. …
That impunity goes hand in hand with their freedom, and there is no urgency on their part to stop harming us.
Throughout History, White Folks Have Always Harmed Black People
Just crack open a history book not written by revisionists and you’ll find millions of ways White folks have harmed Black people in America for centuries with no impunity. There are no international courts coming after America for crimes committed against us, good White folks take more breaks in fighting White Supremacy than an overweight person exercising for the first time in his/her life, and the government is the Alpha and Omega in upholding in impunity for Whites — a government that has always been governed by predominantly White people.
The universal, unifying code for White people all over the…
Black folks are the victims of multiple demoralization campaigns (psychological warfare) with enemies at home and abroad. Understanding it can help you survive it.
Black People Are Tired
I am a Black woman and I am tired as hell. So are most Black folks I know, but it’s not entirely our fault, because we have no control of most of the things that make and keep us tired. To be a Black American in this world and in touch with oneself is to understand how little control we Black folks actually have over our destinies, our families, or even our own bodies. We’re tired of things not changing in this country. We’re collectively tired of being overlooked, put last, asked to work for the benefit of others with…
Doing meaningful work with mean people for poor pay is overrated.
Work Is Work
I like working as much as the next person okay, a fluffy lady of a different season has to eat, after all. But I consider anything that doesn’t bring me pleasure work. Brushing my teeth is work. Cashing my paycheck is work. Weeding my garden is work. Fighting racism. Stomping on White Supremacy, and beating down inequity is work. Planning for the future is work. Even dying is work. From the cradle to the grave — Life. Is. Work.
While we all need to work, the type of work we…
America has multiple genocides going on all at once and it’s scary as hell.
Most Americans Still Just Don’t Get It
If there is one thing I’m becoming increasingly aware of, it’s that most people in America don’t know how close this nation is to the brink of collapse. America is a failing state, and we’re going out like suckers in the most humiliating fashion. It’s embarrassing. It’s avoidable. It’s also complete and total insanity. America would rather be White and die than surviving as a diverse country it seems, and so death is having its way with her right about now.
We have some of the dumbest, most diabolically evil leaders at the state levels in the country leading us…
Blacks folks are out of grace periods and credit line extensions when it comes to White people fighting Racism/White Supremacy. The more they know, the more things stay the same.
Let Me Remind You For Black Folks Without A Voice, We’re Tired
Over the past few years, I’ve been spending my time replaying recordings of Black people discussing the apathy of White people in America. As long as Black people have been free on paper in this country, Black people have been waiting on White people to do right by them. It’s never happened. It’s never going to happen if we must what on the baby steps and hesitancy of White folks. Most simply don’t have the fortitude, courage, or heart to sacrifice for anyone but themselves. …
