Let’s be honest… for black people, this isn’t the most shocking of a story. In fact, when you list out the numbers of feelings any given black person may feel when watching this story (including frustration, anger, and disappointment) you can add a sense of liberation to that list. Why? Because we know these conversations and words are used when behind closed doors, it just doesn’t get exposed enough. But let’s hone in on the the fact that these words were directed to high school black girls that believed they were expressing themselves in that moment that was accepted by those that surround. They lived through the world mourning the loss of black life and coming to terms that their lives matter through the lens of TV. They may have even started to believe that that to be true – that the benign role they play as high school athletes would shelter them from the realities of racism in America. Unfortunately, there is no safe space, age, sport, or activity that, as a black girl, you can escape to be free of racism.
WHITE TEACHER TRYING TO CONVINCE BLACK STUDENT TO NOT WEAR BLACK PRIDE T-SHIRT
Racist white school teachers know that black youth that embrace their black greatness are a threat to them being able to teach their supremacy agenda and dictate the minds of the future. Respect to lil’ bro for not allowing the system to stop him from celebrating the culture. To black parents, teach your kids to love their blackness.
WHITE TEACHER LIES TO BLACK STUDENT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE WORD NIGGER AND SLAVERY IN AMERICA
Revisionist history is the new weapon of choice for racist white men of this generation. They’re trying to redefine the facts about them killing, slaving, and raping black people to be something different, with the intent of hoping that we let down our guard so they can continue their white supremacy. To Black Americans, especially those with kids, never allow the White American power structure to define the black history experience for your kids or yourselves. Always question when white men speak on black culture. It doesn’t matter if it’s a supposed teacher/educator, media figure, or entertainer – check for the truth. Respect to lil’ bro that recorded it.
WHITE NFL PLAYER ATTEMPTS TO MURDER HIS BLACK GIRLFRIEND FOR NOT “BOWING DOWN” WHEN HE TOLD HER TO
Let’s start with, hopefully she has a full recovery. But truth, let’s recognize that this story did not get any mainstream media attention initially nor any acknowledgment from a lot of our black celebrity feminists women for several days after the incident. We all know from numerous past examples that if this were a black man instead it would have been a totally different situation. The story spread through real ones on social media calling attention to this crime. This is a perfect example of white male privilege when media allows this white man to beat up a black women without an immediate mainstream reaction. And still, even as the story spreads, the headlines are excuses for him – he has a mental health issues, he’s a bench player, etc., etc., etc. This was nothing less than an attempted murder. After his commanding her to “bow down” to him, he choked her until he thought she was dead and instead of calling for help he sat down to eat dinner. She woke up and saved herself.
SECRET SERVICE AGENT THAT LED Michelle Obama Detail is the Brother of a Racist Trump Supporter that Destroyed the U.S CAPITOL
This is a sad but it’s a trend that I have noticed has been developing since Barack Obama was elected – black women in white spaces being naïve about the white men in their circle. This has always been the oppressor’s strategy, to manipulate black people by saying what they think you want to hear so you let down your guard down to then ultimately enforce a white supremist agenda on black culture.
WHITE TERROIST TRUMP FOLLOWERS RAMPAGE THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL BUILDING
Let’s take a look at these contrasts: Black males in America are killed by police for so-called “looking suspicious” as demonstrated in the killings of 23-year old Elijah McClain and 12-year old Tamir Rice while, in this same country, the police will allow white men to attack them and destroy the United States Capital building. Black American rights and White American rights or not treated equal by law enforcement in this country. TRUTH… this the Real America White men know their privilege and in this case they decided to exercise it.

AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN SHOT 7 TIMES IN THE BACK BY POLICE IN FRONT OF HIS KIDS
It’s clear America doesn’t care or view black men as human that also have family and friends that love and cherish them like any other man. The only time America even pretends to like black men is when they are able to use us for either their military or entertainment (sports, music, etc.). To shoot a man in his back 7 times in front of his kids while phones are recording and an entire community is watching shows the lack of empathy for black life by police. This also shows police had no concern of any retribution for their actions from the American government and legal system. The only way we can stop this racist society from shooting us as black men is to stop being an asset to their military. #BlackMenBoycottTheMilitary
POLICE HANDCUFFED A BLACK WOMAN AND CHILDREN AS KIDS CRY OUT
Common sense should tell the police that an elementary age child on the concrete handcuffed is not just bad policing but morally problematic. This is a prime example of what the devaluing of black life looks like. These police officers would have never even considered such action on white children, but it’s clear that they did not see these children as children. Despite how young, small, and helpless, they still saw them as criminals. This will have a life long affect on these kids. They will carry this with them forever that police are there to terrorize and not protect. Incidents like this that are not reported happen to black children all over the country. I have my own childhood stories dealing with police misconduct from at a very young age, so I can understand the long-term affect of the police actions.
