MEMO TO WHITES AND BLACKS who continue to ask, when Will I Stop Talking About Racism? and who think talking about Racism is "too divisive" and "too negative"... and, who would rather hold hands and sing Kumbayah...
I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop thinking that White Racism and White Privilege and White Supremacy, ALL birthed during the American Holocaust called slavery, do not exist. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you admit the only reason the "Civil War" was fought was to maintain slavery. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you apologize for slavery and the Jim Crow laws you passed to rationalize your opinion that Blacks are less than human. I Will Stop talking about Racism when you understand you don't have the right to be "uncomfortable" with the Truth that your ancestors enslaved my ancestors and put them in chains. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when we figure out just compensation …spelled Reparations…for the 300 years of involuntary free labor that you used to become obscenely wealthy, which was “Death Money” you “stole” from my ancestors. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop valuing me more as a Black athlete for your entertainment purposes ONLY on the Athletic field, and start valuing me as a Black student. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you start including the many contributions of Blacks in American History textbooks, which you have purposefully excluded from American History textbooks. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you admit to the pathology of your White Privilege. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when police ---aka Occupation Troops--- stop declaring open war on and killing Black males for walking and running and breathing and shopping and riding a bicycle while Black. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when prosecutors and police stop fabricating ways to unfairly arrest and prosecute Blacks while developing a “straight to jail” pipeline. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop voting for Racists and only because they are Racist, and then elevating them to a platform that approximates the second coming of Jesus Christ. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop passing laws to totally disrespect my Black History and then think I don't understand your Racist motives. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop disrespecting an eminently qualified, now former President of these as yet United States of America, whose hue of skin happens to be Black. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you stop justifying the election of a Racist as president, as governor, as school board members, and as members of Congress. I Will Stop Talking About Racism ...when you Stop Lying and saying you voted for the Racist former president because “he was angry” ... and when you admit the Racist Degenerate former president has “reactivated” (not that it has ever gone anywhere) the Culture of White American Racism. I Will Stop Talking About Racism when you start valuing MY Black Life and understanding that Black Lives Matter. I Will Never See the End of Racism During My Lifetime, therefore My Fight and Racism Will Never End. Don’t Talk About Me Until You Have Talked To Me… Don’t Underestimate Me Until You Have Challenged Me… Don’t Judge Me Until You Know Me.
