That Police Pattern, Freedom of Speech, and Race Baiting

Apparently Douglasville Georgia's citizens are out of control. The Confederate Flag wavers have gone full retard again. They showed up armed to a Black child's birthday party and taunted his family by saying they were going to "Kill y'all niggers".  

I'd like to bring something to your attention. 
I knew about this, I saw the pattern, and I'm not really surprised about how this went down.

Notice how the police were busy telling the Black people to calm down when they should have been arresting the people in the vehicles? This is the pattern I've seen whenever these flag wavers pop up. The police are always protecting their "right to free speech", but are there to make sure the Blacks behave. I saw it in South Carolina, I saw it in Dawson Georgia (where the police blocked off the road so the flag wavers could roll through with their vehicles), 
or well anywhere a large number of Black people are, and here it is at a Black child's birthday party. 

And for those who say that we race bait, I'd like to tell them the following:

Just seeing the word, "Black" or seeing a picture of a Black person attached to an article is just enough for those who cry "race baiters" to get their underwear in a knot. They are the most butt hurt and easily offended group of people one would ever come across.

The truth is that they have a problem with Black people. They have to insert themselves into anything related to us even when it's online. They can't help but try to oversee what we're doing, they don't want us to assemble, they don't like it when 'too many' of us are together, they don't like the fact we want to do better for ourselves without their help. Whenever we try, they say things like "Where's our White Television channel?" or "If we did that we'd be racist." They spend such an enormous time worrying about what Black people are doing. In fact, terrorizing a Black child's birthday party is proof of the fact they're so worried about what we are doing that they are not above being petty and proud of it. They just haaad to ruin that kid's party as if they were twelve year olds with nothing better to do but to harass the little kids (because that's how they see Black people. AS. LITTLE. KIDS.)

The question I'd like to ask is, If they hate us so much, why do they keep inserting themselves into everything we do? From Rachael Dolezal and her failed transracial movement, to the random online troll comments, to the White person who wants to debate who and who can't say the N word, to the White rapper, to the guys at the child's party? They get off on being overseers and having the ability to police everything and anything we do, and it's just gross. Straight up and plain gross. 

So. I suppose this is the part where a person would say something like "If you don't like it, then go back to Africa". I'd say the following: Buy us all a plane ticket and please make sure the United States gives back all of the diamonds, the money from oil, the gold, the platinum , the palladium,etc. And they should come get all of their e-waste they dropped off in Ghana, and stop sending Monsanto's seeds over there. They should undo all damage done to the African continent since they feel so compelled to even think they have the audacity and the power to tell someone that in the first place. They should get all the way off of the high horse they created themselves, since they probably want to call me uppity for even "going there" in the first place. As well as give monetary compensation for attempts to hijack everything we do, and use it for themselves. Oh, wait.

And they STILL want to say Black people are race baiters.

I tell them GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE AND SIT YOUR DELUDED ASS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

A Swiss Store Clerk Denied Oprah the Opportunity to Look at a Purse- Said She "Couldn't Afford It"-

So Oprah was doing some shopping in Zurich Switzerland at a very high end store by the name of Trois Pomme when she saw a purse that caught her eye. She asked the clerk to let her see the purse, and according to the article, she was denied. The clerk refused to show it to her , She said: 'No, no, no, you don't want to see that one. You want to see this one. Because that one will cost too much; you will not be able to afford that,'" but Oprah insisted that she wanted to see the original one. Apparently, this exchange happened two more times before Oprah left the store empty handed. Oprah said “I could have had the big blow-up thing and thrown down the black card and all that stuff, but why do that?”   Later, the story was tracked by the BBC, and that's when it got interesting. The clerk said that Oprah was allowed to see the original bag, and that the sales person wanted to give her the bag, but then she didn't want to see it. The owner of the boutique said that there was a misunderstanding and that the clerk was Italian, so her English may not be so good.  That being said <<Get the fuck outta here. The clerk understood that Oprah wanted to see the original bag on display well enough to not get it for her. She understood enough to tell Oprah that she couldn't afford the original bag she was interested in, and the clerk knew enough to find a lower priced bag for Oprah to see. Now as soon as they found out how much Oprah is worth, they wanna back peddle and make excuses for their prejudices.  Finally, the ordeal trickled up to a spokesperson for the tourist office and now they want to invite her to come back so they can show her a good time.  Are they serious?!  Really, it translates to, "Waaaiiiiit! Come back! We really want your money in our city! Pleeeeeease, let us help you spend it! We'll be nice to you (read as 'your money') we promise!" << That line from Kanye West's New Slaves comes to mind, '"That's that broke n!gga racism, that's that 'don't touch anything in the store'. There's that rich n!gga racism, 'come in, please buy more' ".

 Who are they kidding? Do they think she is stupid? Do they think we are stupid? Honestly, I've gotta give it up to Oprah for remaining classy about what happened, but here's what bothers me.  It seems no matter how much money a Black person makes, they will always get treated crazy.  It's funny how people in The States love to prattle on and preach about how all Black people need to do is pull their pants up, get an education and a good job and everything will fall into place.  This woman made 77 million last year alone and still can't go shopping overseas based solely on her skin color. This is why I feel that Black people in the US shouldn't buy from the people who treat us like that regardless if it's a salesperson, the owner,or fashion designer themselves (remember Tommy Hillfiger?).  I can't tell her or any other rich Black person where or how to spend their money, but If I were in that situation, I would have walked out and then bought a factory so I could make my own high end purses.  I'm just saying.
