You Age Like Trash When You're Racist: Black Activist Vs. Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners. It Wasnt a ContestSo
We really need to talk about this Black woman who somehow was not charged in multiple homicides after she bodied an entire Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners during a Tuesday meeting.
Snip
At some point, someone can be heard telling Brooks, maam, your time is up, but she treated whoever that was like a 2020 presidential debate moderator and just kept on dragging the living shit out of Chief Smith telling him, You have blood on your hands, and that while these idiots hold you on a pedestal, God does not honor injustice and murder.
She ended her Verzus battle against America (she was talking to Kansas City officials, but I promise this read applies across the nation) by coming through with the gospel.
Anyways, Ill leave you soulless, profit-driven, avaricious, greedy, godforsaken humans, including anyone who works in this building, with one Bible verse, she said. From the Bible, detailing the life of Jesus. Jesus Christ, who was another unarmed Black man murdered by authorities in the book you Hell-bound people claim to love so much. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit its soul?

Keiajah Brooks, damn...I salute you.

but, fwiw, there's no evidence whatsoever of Jesus being a black man.

(12,310 posts)Um, the gospels are unequivocal in their use of the male pronoun. Nice try, though.

There's no evidence of Jesus being a white man.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)Um, no. The inhabitants of Israel/Palestine of which Jesus was one, are white. . Check the Israeli Knesset for further confirmation.

Your source has been debunked. Just google "Jesus was a black man" and there's plenty of info that debunks the silly belief that Jesus was a white man.

(29,067 posts)As for "a white man with bronze skin and hair of wool", you can find many a Semitic man, be he Arab or Jewish, with that combination. One example, the late president of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi.
Arabs and Jews are Caucasian. There's been no "debunking" of that fact.

It's a righteous rant. And a whole lot of shade

(58,785 posts)But "paper-colored skin" and "aging like trash?" Is she by any chance talking about me? Can we really tell racists just by skin color and how early it succumbs to aging?
If I knew she wasn't a Democrat, I'd be more explicit. But how come the influential people she castigates are soulless when white but merely self preserving when black? (Bless their embattled little hearts.)
In a nation where those who identify white are 3/4 of the population, black Americans are 13%, and many of the rest are on the ugly side of their own enmities, the only way, but a magnificent one, to win against the ugliness of racism is to unite good people of all colors to make good trouble.
Will she learn that? Is it in her nature? Or is this it?
As a paper-skinned old white bag "aging like trash" (!), no salute from me while we wait to find out. And I am sure that, having learned how to get media attention, we will be hearing more from her.

(83,751 posts)You are not racist, so this isn't about you. She said 'when' you are racist, she did not say everyone with white skin, papery or not was racist. I am sorry you see it that way.
I ran into this when I use to post in the African American group here at DU.
That forum is all but closed now. They all left, run off the board. There was a lot of life there, good conversations and some heavy conversations.They were an incredible group of people and I miss them a lot.
I always enjoy reading your posts and listen to your insight.
I am an old white person as well. Posted because I took no offense to her issues. I posted because I see the truth in what she said and know that she was not talking about me.
Peace~
