Today, singer, actor and activist Jussie Smollett was brutally attacked in the early hours of the morning in Chicago by two people claiming to be “MAGA” supporters. Not only did the two men hurl racial and homophobic slurs such as “Aren’t you that faggot from Empire,nigger?!” and shouted “This is MAGA country,” at Smollett but the two white men in ski masks proceeded to physically attack him, poured bleach on him and then tied a noose around his neck! While Smollett did fight back, it is being reported that he has a fractured rib but is recovering at a Northwestern Memorial Center. So I ask God to cover you and heal your mind, body and spirit!
Listen, I’m about to get really real here. I am exhausted and tired as a black woman. I am sick of all the shit that white people are putting my people through. I am sick of them getting away with murder. I am sick and tired of being fearful not only for myself but for my family and friends the moment we walk outside of our doors because we can easily become target practice for some random ass white person walking down the street because they felt “scared”. Fuck y’all!! Fuck y’all and all y’all white feelings!
It’s so bizarre that today this happens, literally on two separate occasions I’ve had conversations about interracial relationships/hook ups amongst black and white people. The two men said they have an issue with white men dating/sleeping with black women because of how historically white men have exploited black women but don’t mind if black men date/sleep with white women. What?! That energy should be consistent across the fucking board!
Let’s break it down. When I think of white women oppressing black men, I go right to Emmitt Till’s mutilated face and Mamie Till whaling at the site of her unrecognizable son because a white woman lied. That white woman’s family ripped Till from his uncles house, beat, tortured him then tied him to a cotton gin then threw him into a river. Of course, the men involved are found not guilty. Then the woman had the nerve to come out and say she made the whole thing up on her death bed. WHAT?! An innocent child lost his life because of what you thought was a little white lie. Or more-so recently in Paris where you have a white woman saying Chris Brown raped her because of his past run ins with the law. Thankfully, there were enough witnesses there to say he was not involved in these shenanigans and he wasn’t charged. But again, a white woman has the power to do say and do whatever she wants because she can. Shall I go on, because there are so many examples.
I am fed up. White people, when are you guys gonna start holding yourselves accountable? History from the past, present and hell the future even shows that you all won’t. Like I said before, you all oppress others because you all like being oppressed, look at how you guys voted! Look at all the crap that’s happening to this so called great America that was built on the backs of our BLACK and Native American ancestors! I’m sick of y’all shit.
Stop stealing our style, slang stop stealing, hell everything. Better yet, STOP KILLING US. Don’t give me that black people kill each other bullshit because that’s a y’all fault too because y’all put the weapons and drugs in our neighborhoods too and yes that’s a Ted Talk for another day. But I bet you guys aren’t going to take the blame for that? Oh don’t let me start on how the government started to break up the black family.
The only way I can foresee a change is if the white people who say that want equality for ALL start calling out there counterparts. Check them and tell them why they are fucking up and if they don’t like it, unfriend them. If it’s a family member, cancel them. If you’re not sure how to cancel a family member, ask your black friend because we cancel family members left and right. This small step may not seem like it will make a dent in racism but trust me, it will. Please, just do better.
