Black people have been hurting for over 400 years and you’re mad because I’m telling you about yourself?

As many of you who have been keeping up with my articles should know by now, you know that I could give a fuck about hurting anybody’s feelings when it comes to me speaking truth to power.

I don’t care if my so-called “obsession with racism” bothers you or triggers you in any type of capacity, especially if you are a white person.

Matter of fact, if you are a white person and you do feel some type of way when I address the issues that your community has done, why are you so upset?

Are you mad at me because what I say is the truth? The fact that from 1619–1865 you held my Foundational Black American brothers and sisters in captivity and forced them to build the country that you profit from today by being a white person?

Are you mad at the fact that I call out your horrible educational systems? You deliberately miseducate Black children with your propaganda using your whitewashed history books and don’t educate them on trades, doing taxes, entrepreneurship, handling finances — stuff that this student can utilize for themselves to make it in the outside world.

Are you mad that I call out your corrupt police departments and judicial systems? The fact that I can commit the same crime as a white person, let’s say selling marijuana, and I’m more likely to be punished and sent to prison while the white person gets a slap on the wrist.

There are race soldiers in your police departments that go about the business of killing unarmed Black people with impunity because they know as well as I do that they can get away with it.

Google Breonna Taylor. Google George Floyd. Google Amir Locke.

And what about ya’ boy Jim Crow Joe Biden? Are you going to whine about him too?

You’re going to have to forgive me when I say that this piece of shit is an absolute joke. This man has been in politics for over 40 years and all he’s done is used his authority to undermine Foundational Black Americans.

It’s not a coincidence that Black people refer to him as Crime Bill Joe.

There’s a whole lot more I could get into, but I got some business I need to attend to.

So go save your white tears for someone who cares.
