Sorry, my family is not from that area. We took a beating back in the Biafra days, apparently. But we've since bounced back.
That being said, the specter of white supremacy looms world wide and takes many forms.
Don't be blinded by hate. Move forward with love.
Doc didn't say sh!t because he can't do sh!t. I doubt he even has the mind to. Faithful, well trained, compliant. Words that can be used for a brother like Doc Rivers and the rest of the LA Clippers.
No I am not.
Where in this country do you see Black people getting respect? In sports, where the owners and by extension the fans/public see Blacks a little more than trained cattle.
Is it private enterprise, where managers often deny Blacks employment and loans just on the sight of your names?
Is it education? Where teachers will knowingly give Black students worse grades for the same work and harsher punishments for the same infractions as your white counterparts… if you're lucky enough not to be trapped in one of the segregated prison factory hell holes that exist in the neighborhoods y'all are economically forced to live in.
Black people are constantly getting shat on in this country and it seems like it's "okay." The new line I hear everyone using whenever racism comes up is "I'm not surprised," "I'm unphazed by this," or some variation of that sentiment. As if the cool thing to do now is to let all this blatant racism slide.
They gun your children down in the street. What do y'all do? Go along to get along. They change the laws on your asses and not a single car was flipped. It's gotten to the point where elected officials can say anything short of screaming "N!gger, n!gger, n!gger!" and no Black person will do ANYTHING about it.
In studying the history of Blacks in America one would ask themselves "Why haven't Black people built an insurgency?" Even Palestinians in the face of almost certain death have the DIGNITY and SELF RESPECT to throw rocks at tanks operated by their oppressors. Whereas Black people in America take our societal frustrations out on each other. Shameful.
Well, y'all got me talking crazy. Isn't there a playoff for y'all to watch? These white supremacists aren't going to get rich off themselves. Watch and be pacified.
