This is why I absolutely look forward to reading and reposting on all of my social media. This is the TRUTH TRUTH, I see these reactions from yt people every single time I speak to themI am learning to speak to yt people and this column adds to my ability to do so
It’s disappointing but not surprising that response to your series Yo, White Boy! has been so limited. Arguing with the truth presented so clearly and accurately has to be painful for white supremacists. I hope that doesn’t sound like sympathy.
If you are a monster, it’s one this nation has earned and well deserves. There is not a chance in hell of an apology of any kind because we have always lacked the most important first step to an apology. This nation has not and cannot ever acknowledge their sins. They relish them and always have.
I’m reminded by some of the Civil Rights Act and I remind them of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, shortly after the Civil War ended. Even a screwed-up Congress managed that only to have it vetoed by scum bag president Andrew Johnson.
The purpose of all attempts to free slaves by the government was to save the white race. Many of those attempts included sending the freed slaves elsewhere, anywhere except mixing with whites.
Until we can own all the truth, even the idea of apology is ridiculous.
Having said that I am no slave for this is a meme that (stay with me on this) the European-Amerikan collective actively uses to continue a type of psychosocial slavery. The constant drumbeat: you were a slave, you are a slave because you were a slave and you will continue to be a slave because you are one is linguistic subterfuge at best, and bullshit at worst. Because, you see B.B., my history goes back to the beginning of mankind.
WE were the first people. That means we were the first astronomers, doctors, lawyers, artists, scientists, teachers, mechanics and everything else. My history extends far beyond "slavery" because WTF was I before then?
I adore you, Sir and am absolutely thrilled by having the honor to interact with the other "B.B." (Mrs. B).
The time has come for me to discuss a few publishing matters with you. Expect my communications. Soon.
I am an old white woman who thinks that more black people need to speak to white people who deny the truth. Be unapologetic because we are the ones who need to apologize.
Thank you, Ms. Long. Your comment has a karma that appears beyond empty rhetoric. If I may, given your intellectual honesty, I would like to share with you the starkest of observations and a mild hint at why this piece was written.
Why has the "US" never formally and nationally apologized for what it itself calls "original sin?" Juneteenth? Are you kidding me? More like Joketeenth. I shall reveal why the "US" refuses to "apologize" while it indicts me for being "unapologetic."
It is brutally simple: To publicly, nationally and, most of all, globally acknowledge the genocide, the enslavement, exploitation, humiliation, untold damage, cultural murder and outright murder of Black People in the United States would officially designate it as a thing of the past. A thing, horrific as it is, exists no longer because "the great American experiment" and its progression has evolved, been illuminated, seen the proverbial light!
HOWEVER, such an acknowledgement would preclude it from continuing.
This country is rooted in racism. It never went away it was just more subtle. Trump has allowed it to be ok again. The roaches have climbed back out from underneath the rocks.
What Jodi said is what I wish I wrote. Trump is making it okay again. And also I did not intend to put LU at the end of the authors name. I clicked on the send before it was ready.
"The return of racism..." suggests that such ever left. It has not left, it will never leave for it is the root of your society. And, wish it as you might, if one plants an orange tree, they get oranges. If one plants a grapevine, they get grapes.
If one plants a turd tree fertilized by violence (as Thomas Jefferson said) "its natural manure" one will get...
Nope! No duping Mr. (Blackenstien) Kenyatta with words of intellect. (Him gonna correct it) 🙃.
You are an absolute treasure. I smiled today for the very first time as I read your comment. Thank you, Mr. Ed.

"Thus sayeth the lord."
In the absolutely best, and most respectful, way.

Keep bringing the truth 💯 Mr. Kenyatta

And it must continue.
Until it no longer continues.

I'd concur she nailed it.
No apologies for the Truth 🙏
Yes trumpism is the return of racism, ignorance and crime, starting with the top down. Just like the antebellum south.
I don’t see it lasting long. For it does not fit modern society.
Have you read the book called black Athena, by Martin Bernal Lu

One would get Dingle Berries 👍
LMAO!
You and Mr. Ed have made me smile, which made my day.
