  • Branded White: Empathy is for White people
    Please join us as we discuss double standards for black people and why empathy is for white people.  This is not limited to black people in the United States. We have seen that these injustices have been implemented worldwide.
    However, America just elected Donald Trump and the world is watching with bated breath and baited hooks for what seems to be shaping up as a rollercoaster ride that we can't stop, we can't slow down, and are now a captive rider; with flashbulbs catching every painful moment for the whitewashed history that it will bring forth. The cowboy politics that will come from the Trump Administration is anybody's guess and unfortunately, people of color will suffer. Buckle up because you ain't getting off without a fight.

  • Whitesplaining from the Democrats: Don't worry, be happy!
    Please join us as we discuss white people falling all over themselves trying to explain and justify Donald Trump's triumphant election. 
    You keep saying that everything will be alright and that we will be protected from the white conservatism nationalism that is making a victory lap around the world. You have been making these false promises for decades. The very conditions that people of color suffer from were created by many of you and/or with your tacit agreement. Every movement we have created, you have managed to sabotage, on the low, while claiming to be allies. You crushed the Civil Rights & Black Power movement, yet the KKK is thriving.  How does that work?
    Poverty, racism, sexism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, inner city reservtions, Indian reservations, latinx barrios, etc. were all created and perpetuated by YOU.  The common excuses we hear are that now isn't the time to force change, he is the President of ALL America and not ust black America, stop black on black crime and THEN we will take you seriously, why can't you people live 20 people to an apartment and pool your money to buy a house or start a business, if you stop eating the greasy and fast foods you won't have high blood pressure or the sugar, having a car is a luxury, getting an education is a luxury, why won't your God help you and why do you serve the white folks God that they made you bow down to, etc. and so on, and forthwith. <--- long ass run on sentence! I am not trying to be fancy today. Go diagram that sentence...
    I'm tired of typing, talk to you Sunday. However, we WILL discuss how the black and latino vote was suppressed and you said absolutely NOTHING. Where was the sitin for voter suppression Congressional Black Caucus & Congressional Latino Caucus?

  • White Americans & Western Europeans to the rest of us: FUCK your safe spaces!
    Please join us as we discuss the so called white allies and their utter betrayal. These are the same people who feign confusion and dismay when people of color create safe spaces.  It was already bad enough that they mocked and ridiculed us for our originality, while they secretly coveted the vary qualities that made us stand out. Once they appropriate it, they capitalize on it, and then give us the middle finger when we protest their columbusing of our cultures.
    Meanwhile, they demand that WE educate THEM about THEIR racism and corrupt system.  Then, they accuse us of lying about facts that THEY didn't know about. Instead of researching these matters for themselves, they settle for not believing us and accusing us creating our own problems. Even the "nice white people" who desperately want us to forgive the whypipo for being so assholery cry salty white tears because we are now saying, "Hell to the naw, fuck that shit!" The people who make these types of accusations and demands are NOT our friends.  Let me repeat, THEY ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS.
    Meanwhile, back on the block, we are being deported from the very communities & slums (owned by wealthy, white land owners and developers) we were corralled to live and survive in.  Now that the weary whypipo are tired of commuting from the very suburban enclaves that refuse to sell us homes, they want to move us out of the city so that THEIR lives can be convenienced. In turn, we get pushed into the areas where the manufacturing plants have left and public transportation has been cut because they want to create luxury public transportation for the city gentrifiers.
    Confusion is bountiful now that we are telling the Democrats, "You will NOT take us for granted anymore and screw you and your candidates." Get ready because this is just the beginning, No more fucks are given.  Why? Are you seriously asking me why? GTFOOHWTBS!

  • White Christian America: Racism American Style Pt. 2
    Funny how you wanted to bring us to heel and bury our movement; just like you buried movements in the past. Well little tink tink, it seems as though the tables have turned Democrats. We have brought you to heel and buried your aspirations to kill our movement., Those black, brown, red, yellow, and poor whites votes matter after all...huh? I want you to explain to us very slowly how you aren't going to address issues that plague our communities. Can you expound on how you are going to ignore our policy demands?  Tell us more about the false hope and refuse to change that you sold to us. Y'all, we are waiting for you to explain why your cousins im Bob and Ellie Mae voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. I defecate your post racial narrative and violently regurgitate your colorlind tropes.
    Christianity & the Bible have been used to perpetuate and justify slavery, systemic/institutional racism, Raw (New) Deal, Jim Crow, segregation, mob action against communities of color, poverty, wealth inequality, and more. The system is NOT and never was broken, it was built this way. We need to accept this fact of life. White American Christians tend to cling to their guns and bibles; especially, in times of trouble and uncertainty.
    The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., once said "it is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.
    The religious right was formed to protect segregation. White nationalists will tell you that their organizations are Christian based. The BPP and BLM are labeled hate groups and are being attacked from every direction. However, the klan is still in existence and allowed to continue with their campaign of terror. White Christians are behaving more white than Christian. How does that work?

  • White Christian America: Hope & Change White Cis/Het Male Style
    Please join us Sunday 1PM CST as we examine what fuels White Christian Americans. The RNC offers angry, white Americans hope for a yesteryear that they have romanticized and a return to the Jim Crow society that they have longed for. The messiah, that they have prayed for, has manifested.
    They now have their very own Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson in whiteface to speak 'truth' to power. Their newly arisen pied piper is leading a ticker tape parade to the White House to make 'America Great Again.' He has delivered his sermon on the mount at Gettysburg.
    He, too, has a contract (covenant) that he wants America to make with him. He, too, has a New Deal for 'the blacks.' He, too, has jobs for our immigrants (legal or otherwise)...to build the wall he intends to toss them over. He, too, has a plan to (de)stabilize our economy. He, too, has a plan to vilify and demonize those he has labeled as degenerates and subversives. He, too, wants to rid our country of political correctness.
    They, too, shall overcome.

  • White Christian America: This relationship ain't working for me...
    Please join us Sunday as we discuss White Christian America and their refusal to put an end to racism in America. This is the first installment on a series specifically talking about White Christian America's willful ignorance, tacit & overt agreement with racism, being complicit with the systemic racism perpetuated by the powers that be, and misguided anger.
     
    It's not you...it's me. Well...it really is you, but I was trying to spare your feelings. I have come to the realization that we have to part ways. If this is your way of showing love, please hate me. Not really sure how much more I can take. I tried, but failed miserably trying to ind some common ground. The only solution that will work is or me to walk away. Trying to convince you that people of color in America are suffering because you refuse to acknowledge and dismantle white supremacy is an exercise in futility. Until you can take responsibility and acknowledge your role in perpetually oppressing people of color, we have nothing else to discuss. I am tired of running in circles and getting nowhere.
