This new venture I stumbled on in the middle 2019 surrounds the ingredients of Instagram. I am always striving to do different things on SFM. This controversy piece is kind of like my Twitter Tweets of The Week. I cruise around Twitter and talk about many random things trending but this time it will be with post from IG. Incidentally, this isn't supposed to make you feel comfortable. Did you read the title? Since today is the last day of Black History Month (every day) I am dedicating all Instagram posts towards that subject. Please be sure to click on the purple links.
Black people are creative. They are always taking negative things and turning it into their own form of positive expression. The word "NIGGER" was often used to control and degrade black people. Then, black people started using that word as a term of endearment (Nigga). But if you are white and you intentionally, or without intent, say the N-word, violence is coming your way. Are you offended by this t-shirt? I am specifically talking to melanated folks. DL Hughley had a lot of black folks highly upset about this Instagram post. Well, if you are bothered by it maybe you should practice not saying it! The meaning of that particular word is changed by melanated people when they say it because they are conditioned. It means something totally different than what it was historically used for when Europeans used it towards black people. Nevertheless, why keep perpetuating this pitiful syndrome. In my opinion, no one should be using this word! I wonder what our ancestors would say if they came back to have a conversation with us?
Can I please get an amen in the soprano, tenor, and alto section of the dominant society? It's like night and day when they get arrested versus us, right? Hughley is bringing some sweet awareness to old issues that appear to scream "EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW" please and thank you, said black folks who are taxpayers too! This of course applies to those who are doing it. If you are an officer walking up right, this message isn't for you! Is it me, or does it seem like we are fighting the same battles we fought in Malcolm and Martin days? Um, happy Black History Day!
Volumes are being spoken in this picture. When the dominant society historically fabricated the narrative about black men eating and drinking lust to rape their women the truth was, white men felt some kind of way because they were the ones having their perfect little nasty old ways with black women. She was the mistress, and she was their slave. Property. A lot of race-mixing went on back then. It was forced. Now, it is out of love (hopefully). This is what the white slave owners were doing during slavery.
Ouch! I know that the truth hurts but it also sets you free. Free to pay back what you owe. Free to quickly destroy policies that aid and abet white supremacy and racism, specifically towards melanated black people. Free to allow black men and boys plus females, the same courtesies (leniency) and favor in your criminal justice system. Free to dismantle the constitution and revamp it. Free to give aid to the Americans you love to exclude, but you give financial assistance to China, Afghanistan, India, Mexico, and everyone else but melanated people. Free for us to be free! Free to let go of controlling others. Free to realize if you were done the same way we were done, you would not pledge your allegiance to a flag that stood for everyone but you! No way you would, but you have the nerve to get highly offended by those who choose to exercise their right, not to!
We must love and unite then sprinkle more love and unity. Next more love and unity in our homes and communities. After that, yes filled up with love and unity to support our own businesses. Wait, the last stop is, more drops of love and unity in our thoughts and in our minds. Okay I'm going to make it very plain! "WE NEED TO LOVE EACH OTHER!" Here comes change!
This is the BEST Black History lesson you never had in school, but you should have learned it. Please listen to this!
Welcome to inspirational warfare=melanated people! You KNOW 'good and well' this is the truth. Two words, Hip Hop! But that's not all. They love our culture, but they don't want to treat us right! We know what we have. We know how they love to duplicate originals.
