Honesty and integrity? People who say what they mean not play stupid games and make constant swipes at the black community? People to not rewirite history in favor of their ideology? For people to stop pretending MLK was this feel good race consoler rather than the BLACK REVOLUTIONARY he was? For them to stop erasing his fight for racial equality in favor of this 'he fought the oligarchy so they killed him' fantasy? For them to stop acting like the real fight was against the oligarchy like our racial struggles are nothing in comparison and already finished and done? Yeah. That's what I want. Will it happen? Hell no.
People are going to co opt and steal the legacy of black americans in order to give themselves ownership over our history without any damn recognition of how fake and pathetic it is to force themselves in somewhere and into something that was not done for them or by them for the most part. They will give themselves a staring role in the history of blacks as the benefactor and the saviour, roles they never ever ever played in real life. They will tell themselves the little changes do not matter, and THEY DON'T - to them. To us, it is straight up theft, erasure, and the need to center themselves in a position of prominence no matter who they have to piss off and disgust to do it. And with the force of numbers they have gotten their way. Not around me though. I am a black revolutionary thinker too. And i abhor the misuse of the black peoples struggle and legacy to prop up a candidate, and I resent the effort to tell us we have no place being disgusted and enraged.

Enjoy this. It is nasty and it will not be a winning effort. But it will be remembered.

They wanted him to wait wait wait wait for equality. And look!! We are still waiting. Imagine that.

This is being brutally honest. If folks cannot handle honesty and bluntness then they are hiding from reality. My reality in this natuon is not theirs. The fact the they want me to view life from their perspective and ignore my own is very selfish.
My purpose in life is not to make people feel better about the oppression tossed towards my people, but to highlight it and say how fucked up it is. It should make them stop, think, put theirselves in my skin for a second and look at the world through my eyes. It will upset them. It is supposed to. It is liberating for all of us.

The point is not to offer up views as to why the black perspective is wrong or to find arguments aginst intersectionality or to appropriate bits of black history and culture for themselves. The point is to respect it and to give us space to voice our concerns and support US, not always having to be the ones that get to have a say OVER us, and set the agenda, and the rules, and to decide, and tell us what we should think or see or know or care about or understand.

Well, I just report the facts!!! Some get angry, but I can live with that.

I just want to note, MLK Jr was fighting for BLACK sanitation workers to have the same pay and treatment as WHITE sanitation workers. People sanitize history and try to co opt our movements and leaders at times. We see through that. We know. You can look it up on the google.

Putting this in my journal.

I never do it and I damn sure do not like it done to me by a total stranger who I do not know. If that is ones feeling then perhaps one should not post the link to ones twitter and then post that about people immediately afterwards; it might prevent the Hubaloo. That is a nasty intraracial bullying mechanism when blacks who feel superior look down on other blacks and use racist language to perpetuate stereotypes. Often there are those who would suround themselves with whites and be the person saying the racial language to kudos from their white friends which just shows it to be total projection.

I do not approve of this any more than I did when Cornel West did it to many accolades and praises- not from BLACKS, we did not praise him.
