How Can Descendants of Slave Masters Tell Descendants of Slaves...






One of the reasons why I really enjoy social media groups is because out of these virtual conversations, someone will shed light on something that concerned you with an emotional decoder. So, for that I am sincerely grateful to have read W. N's inquisitive response; I deeply felt that it needed to be blogged because it deserved some undivided attention.


It felt as if a great DJ remixed a song and I felt that people must hear this version because it was essentially dope like oxygen.


From responses such as slavery was really a long time ago, it was not so bad after all, it was not our doing. And yet, this new altered version still holds the old similar rhetoric that our lives have less value and that our suffering is unimportant.


So many people fail to grasp the impact and make the link that each injustice is rooted from the same cause. Basically, it is about one party claiming, feeling, and acting like that it is superior to the other(s).






This is the kind of belief that must be stopped (at all cost). By any means necessary this mindset must be eradicated because the consequences are to costing for society to continue on this biosocial psychopathologic path.


For instance, in the late incident with Weinstein, so many people were complaining why it took so long for people to come forward. The first thing with justice is that it is an entity that takes time. And now with that being written, does it really matter how long it took for people to speak. It is to each his/her own to come forward when the readiness meets the speaker.


After a traumatic event each person responds differently. Imagine that you had lost your ring and someone brought it to you a month or a year after, would you critic the length of time it took the person that brought it to you. Instead, you would rejoice and then asked them how they miraculously found you.


What is the link with this story? Wait for it because it is about to come. So, now this situation becomes like the NFL protest and people who experienced this traumatic experience need to deal with ridiculous backlash of  divergent deflecting debates. It is either when and where can players protest and voice their concerns, or how long people who have been raped have before it is too late to make a complaint. 






If that did not sound ridiculous to you is because without knowing it or not, you are an oppressor or you support the oppressive culture.


The main reason why it is quintessential to fight oppression is because it creates classification. While those who believed that abuse had an expiration date, it turned that they were ignored because they were considered less than worthy to be heard.


Until it was people who came from a privileged sphere that the cause became a serious issue (Gabrielle Union).





The same thing happened with the cocaine and crack addiction:





The NBA has the slogan, “This Is Why We Play.” So, our activist slogan is, “This Is Why We Fight.”


→We Fight to give a voice and show that we are not voiceless.

→We Fight to say that our lives have value.

→We Fight because we are sick and tired of waiting for it to become a [whiteness: elite or privilege] problem to be deemed worthy.








Until we have an honest conversation, because we have had plenty of discussions without authenticity before, injustice will prevail and all these laws that we have are just a veil of hypocrisy for those who have enough lawyer power to defend their cause and quiet the less fortunate.


How do you feel about the fact that depending on who claims the same injustice, and yet the reaction is somehow different?





I have this incredible ring story for those who are interested: just respond with #Lostringstory.
