(2,636 posts)Every advancement for Black people has been met with white supremacy violence. Since the end of slavery, Fearful Whitey McWypipo has come back with the KKK, statuary of confederate leaders, vigilante lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, redlining, private Christain schools in response to losing the segregation battle, the vicious horrors of the CIvil Rights movement, assassination of MLK and Medgar Evars and Malcolm X.
Obama, Harris, the women busy prosecuting TDFG in NY, Atlanta, the head of the January 6 Select Committee--a whole lot of intelligent, well educated, exceptional black people.
Rather than face their own mediocrity, lack of education and intellectual curiosity, small minded, fearful white people just know it's affirmative action, that the problem is The Other. The Racist cracker doesn't better himself. He just destroys the institutions that remind him of his less-than-averageness.
The patriarchy is terrorizing black people, again, attacking the Gay community, and stripping away women's right to privacy and autonomy. The Patriarchy is awfully insecure about its whiteness, its heterosexuality, and its masculinity.
How sad to live life in such a fragile ego.
How exhausting people of color and women have to refight the same battles over and over.
