I have a very definitive sense of right and wrong. If I’m
wrong I can admit it, make amends and move on… What I don’t suffer and will not
tolerate under NO circumstances is ignorance and rudeness being disguised as
power. I cannot and I will not suffer fools and it’s not my job to see to it
that you obtain knowledge. I can only share what I know and it’s up to the
individual to accept or reject it.
Let me just say I now know how both my mom and grandma felt
when they offered their wisdom and it was promptly rejected as old-fashioned or
nonsense. I now understand why old folks used to say “children should be seen
and not heard.” Most times, It wasn’t said in the context of disrespect or
silencing a child’s voice it was spoken more so in the context of and
intervention because the older person had lived through the experience.
With the onslaught of social media kids believe that can say
and do what they want without impunity. They believe that they are making valid
and informed decisions based on something that they’ve read on the net……..REALLY?!!!
An incredible amount of misinformation and biased reporting is generated en masse
and then disseminated to the internet populous to do what they do with it. We
quote shaky sources like busy dung beetles.
Don’t get angry with me because I tell you that I don’t give
a damn about Cookie or Luscious Lyon…they are tv characters! Turn off the tv and turn off the stereotypes
and read a damn book …learn about you! Don’t get angry with me when I point out
and call out institutionalized racism. The people who don’t “see color” are
silent accomplices in their own oppression; the people who see it yet remain
silent are also responsible for the offense.
Stop the madness……..stop perpetuating stereotypes….embrace
your potential and walk in your calling!!!
Now, let me repeat this yet again….my pro-Black is not anti-white….I
want people to detach from all the self-loathing and toxicity that has been
taught and heaped upon them about their Black heritage. Divorce your miseducation
and teach someone the truth. Break free from your mental colonization...
How ya livin'?
