Recovery and Healing

If you've read up to this point, then congratulations! You've made it.  That being said, I feel like I need to issue a disclaimer for you, because I get it:

I know what you're thinking. After reading my last few posts, you're probably mad. That's good, but not in a "fuck yo feelings" kind of way. It's good because you see what I'm talking about. The writing is on the wall, and you're mad about it.  I want you to know there's nothing wrong with being mad right now. Being mad is a normal response. I should know. But I must warn you further. If you are Black,or any person of color for that matter,  you will gradually experience several strong emotions. You will feel anxious, you will be nervous, you won't be able to sleep, you will have panic attacks. You won't be able to breathe. You will have nightmares. You will become nauseated. You will lash out at people closest to you.  Your head will hurt. Why? Because once you start to really think about it, you won't know which way is up. While I was compiling all of my research into this, I experienced all of those emotions. I also became very suspicious of the people around me. I became suspicious of their motives and I watched exactly what they said and how they said it. 


But here's the good news. You'll be able to see all of the fuckery. You will see each and every bit of it. You will be able to tell people how to get the fuck outta here with that mess. You will be able to teach them how to get the fuck outta here. You will find out that any White person who continues the fuckery will have no credibility whatsoever, and it is not your responsibility to teach them shit. In fact, many, many White people will lose all of their credibility. And you can call them on each and every bit of it if you should choose to engage with them after all of this. 

Consequently, this will make White people mad. They'll be mad in two ways: They will question their identity. Some will continue with the narrative because, "Can't no nigger tell them, NO!" (said in so many words).  They will get what they will get. They will bitch, and whine and be mad at you because the jig is all the way up but can't nobody tell them shit, and all of my posts as well as what they have done all across the entire world proves it!

Now if you're White and you take this blog and think it means "kill whitey" then I don't know what to tell you. Actually, I change my mind. I know what to tell you: Your basic reading comprehension skills are shit, and you're dry snitching on yourselves. You think Pro Blackness means Anti-White, and that's not our thing. That's yours. You own that narrative and have shown it time and time again through various media outlets, and devious methods. And you will kill anybody to preserve that bullshit. You're the spin doctors of racism and you accuse everyone else as race baiting. Pro White looks like this when White people talk to everybody else:

You're all scum! White power! Here's why (insert race based statistics and tales of White victimhood )
Everyone else:  We disagree!
White people: OMG WHY ARE YOU SO RACIST! IF I SAID WHITE POWER,THEN I'D BE RACIST. YOU GUYS ARE TAKING AWAY MY FREE SPEECH!!
Everyone else: Well, you did tell your story the way you wanted to tell it all the while pointing to yourselves and making yourselves to be the default everywhere you went. You did oversee and insert yourselves everywhere you could, especially through violence, be it physical or mental, through extortion, racketeering, and looting,up to and including murder, and you've done it to entire tribes under your own confirmed social construct. And if you're reading this blog in the first place, that's proof of your desire to oversee everything we do and insert yourself into it. That's kinda your thing, so keep owning it. No free speech was taken. There's no turning back. You've recorded hundreds of years of proof of your own legacy.  Donald Trump's popularity during his presidential run in 2016 is today's testament to all of that.
White people: But Bernie...
Everyone else: Progressives play progressive, but refuse to acknowledge race because colorblind. Progressive means cultural appropriation. OR it means, "I supported MLK" as if MLK equals Black people, and his legacy is their buzzword. And why is it that people who claim to be progressive don't really like Black people they just want to own something? In Bernie's case, he wants to own votes. Because that's what politicians try to do. They try to own votes and in their eyes,we are nothing but.
White people: But dialogue and education.
Everyone else: But bullshit!   Bullshit! , Bullshit!
White people: Solution?
Everyone else: Your reading comprehension skills are still shit because you didn't even read this fully. 
The end.


Black people:

Look at our struggle. Look at all of it. Look at how you've survived. Yes, much blood has been spilled, but you made it. We have lost friends, we have lost family. We're used to losing,in some way, shape or form but you made it through. And you can tell your stories through your own lens using your own media formats. We don't need the involvement or approval of White people to do so. We've been doing it, but we've been looking through the wrong lens. We've been looking at Lot A the whole time without even knowing it, be it watching awards shows and being mad because your actor or artist didn't get the award, or the praises when someone is getting accepted to do anything at Yale or any IVY league institution, and everything in between. We've been "thinking global" in the same ways White people look at climate change and saving animals. We've stayed scattered in our thinking (which is not bad, but one must organize it in order to form something concrete). We stayed hidden long enough, and we shall surface, and that surfacing is a part of the recovery. 


So:

Handle your emotions, make sure you use the 10 Black Commandments when it comes to dealing with people who look like you, and situations you come across. Examine your role in this supremacy shit. Feel angry, sad, start sweating and trembling, shake it off. You might even cry. All of it is okay. This is normal, and anybody who says there is something wrong with you for doing so will be someone to be heavily watched, and if they look like you, teach them otherwise.  I know you can do it. Remember being 'woke'  is a long haul thing. Once you're in, that's it. There's no turning back.

Part 3: 

Then jump back and kiss yourself every once in a while. Kiss your people. This is the most important part. We've dealt with so much from everywhere. We owe it to ourselves, but we must remember not to parrot supremacy and know what it is in all forms. Because again. That's theirs. Not ours. They gave it to us in the form of "respectability politics" and we have to reject ALLLLLLL of it in every way, shape and form. Look at all of the ways you'd like to seek out Lot A. Remember what it means, and then slap yourself when you catch yourself looking for it, recognize what you did and work at stopping it. You'll see yourself laughing at a lot of stuff in between all of the sweat, the anger, and ill feelings. Not laughing out of spite or ugliness, but laughing about the extent of the fuckery, and why it was implemented in the first place. And just remember: If they genuinely wanted things to be different, they shouldn't have fucked with us all throughout the Reconstruction after the slaves were freed. I mean, (let them tell it) if they want to go all the way back, they shouldn't have been so lazy that they brought Black people to various parts of the world just to do the work they didn't want to do because money. America could have been better, but nah. They were to busy playing.  And you will see how hilarious this laziness really is. 

Keep pushing on, y'all. Keep pushing on. We are our own support group. All of us. We've got this.
