The Lower Manhattan Community Middle School is separating students by race for a social justice experiment where they discuss undoing a legacy of racism and oppression. I came across this article through Taurean Reign, and I couldn't let the shit go. You will find original on-code thoughts here.
Every other group is being separated except for Black students and Latinos at this school for this two-day experiment. They're grouping our students together with Latino's like they're in the same boat when that's far from the truth.I don't give a damn what Principal Shanna Douglas' excuse is. Black parent's need to pull their students out or provide a letter of exemption until the experiment is over if their children can't get the focus they deserve for the topic.
To be fair, I don't know what direction they're going with this, but will the parents of these Black children know what will be discussed? They need to, non-Black Jews wouldn't even have them in this school to begin with, but if they did they would demand that they have a spotlight that makes people aware of why they need to be sensitive to them.
Furthermore, this school with the Black principal better not gloss over the fact that Black people are the target of this legacy of racism and oppression. That's my problem with them being grouped together with Latino's because I don't want them receiving any false information and illusions about Black and Brown being in the same boat. Latino's weren't the slaves who built the United States of America, and these Black children need to know that was Black people.
They need to know that more often than not that Black people are targeted and killed by these God Damned race soldiers in law enforcement who expect to walk with no justification. They need to know that White Supremacy is at the base more often than not and that it's not uncommon for others to come into this Country and practice the exact same thing. They need to also be challenged to identify the anti-Blackness festering in their own communities, and that includes Latino households.
These Black children and none of the other children need to be played with when it comes to this topic that should exclusively centered around us for the most part. Other groups and creative examples can be referenced to force some clarity in there if they don't understand, but Public Enemy #1 (Black people) needs to be the focus of this. You have to be careful in these alleged "Melting Pots" too, because they will give the illusion of inclusion. You know what that is when it comes to Black people, go to Miami and see what's up. Don't confuse a pocket full of money with love and admiration for you, in Miami or anywhere else. I bring up Miami specifically, because Latinos tend to run the yard and you almost have to know Spanish fluently just to get a job and get by. Open disrespect towards Black people is second nature to too many of these people down there. We aren't not in the same boat with these people.
By the way, I haven't forgotten that New York is the same place where too many Black people allowed non-Black people to call them Nigga under the guise of hip hop like they just magically became a Black person. Certain rappers were willing to go up against other Black people for this White bitch because she said 'Nigga' and they approved. If you're one of these fools, I'm talking about you.
That's never acceptable, and that mindset cannot be something you allow to be passed off on your children. Do better and make sure that you don't play games with people who want to openly disrespect our people. If they don't want to be labeled anti-Black they'll avoid saying certain things if they don't want us to play that game with them and things that offend them. Fuck hip hop when it comes to the excuses to disrespect of my people, do you put hip hop ahead of Black people? That spread like a cancer too, and we snatched up quite a few of these people who thought that excuse would pull them out of an ass whooping. If they can't stick to slurs that only offend their groups, they need to be treated with hostility, not love an understanding.
Don't let them mind fuck your children anymore than they may have already done, this school only has 8% Black students as it is. Again, do the parents know what they're going to be discussing in detail?
Only having 8% Black students and 15% Latinos isn't a good enough excuse to group them together for me, they could have someone focus on Black children and another member of the faculty can focus on the Latinos. They have faculty for the Asians separately, the Whites separately, and "Multi-Racial" separately so they can have exclusive focus for Black students. You need to be the biggest teachers of your children, so they don't have to learn about this stuff from a school for the first time, that's another problem. Speaking of schools, the cops go into those school and get aggressive with the Black students. You can go down a list and they will be in a boat with other Black people, no other groups.
By the way, that multi-racial group probably consists of students who claim every other race and toss in there that they have a Black parent when its time to benefit or be a God Damned saboteur. If those students have a Black parent, it's up to that parent to put their foot down against this school and demand that they be with the other Black students to prevent them from feeling and acting like "Other". Don't let them discover who they really are when the cops are kicking their teeth in or gunning them down. They aren't pulled over driving while Mixed, the cops see a Nigger. Don't ever get it fucked up.
The government goes the distance to pass money off to Latinos, while Black people get passed over if its not a bare minimum with 101 hoops to jump through. We haven't even received our reparations yet.
Look at the Afghans refugees being elevated so that they have housing and funding for businesses compliments of the USA and our tax dollars. How many Black people are living on Skid Row or sleeping in vehicles and storage units?
A Mexican bitch who owns a business, stood in the way of money designated for Black people, she didn't do that for the other groups who would receive more. Let that sink in. Is that your sister or a God Damned enemy?
The Illegals get better treatment than us, and a lot of Hispanics can be found in the category. Is that equal treatment? Hell no. It's a crime for them to be here illegally in the first place, but some of the same people ready to call the cops on you for walking down the damn street can be found defending them. Is that the same treatment?
How many are standing with the Black students who loss their parents to Latino cops?
Even with that said, if you allow your children to be a part of that shit, make sure that they don't allow shit to fly like their classmates are in the same boat as them. Driving while Latino isn't a thing, Latino kids aren't being hunted down the way Trayvon Martin, can you remind me of what George Zimmerman is again?
I don't gave a fuck about you being Latino with Black children, half-Latino, married to a Latino, sucking and fucking a Latino on the side, got kids with a Latino or what. Our struggle and our experience is not the same as their struggle and if we can't bundle ours with someone else's for our betterment, we have to reject that when it comes to other groups. I don't desire to have people standing around me to try and use me, and you shouldn't be cool with that either. Serpents are sneaky with the shit too because they'll try to tuck in their shit when you're talking about something related to us. Speak out without us if you really have a problem with White Supremacy and put in that work.
A white Latino can flip "Latino" on and off like a light switch and sometimes without a little surgery, and can change their name like Charlie Sheen and James Roday. James's last name is Rodriguez, and he didn't even feel comfortable using his last name until recent times. We can't hide from who we really are, even if some of the enemies among us try like hell to do so. How do you relate to someone ashamed of who the fuck they are? This same applies to those people with Black parents that I mentioned, knowing that also makes them Black. Go get a bag around the people you rep all God Damn day or when its time for you to shine. Karrueche Tran would know something about this.
If your Black children's eyes are open today, who can lie to them tomorrow? What Latino can dance in their face tomorrow for financial support that doesn't touch our community in the least? Keep your eye on "Multi-Racial" Black people too. I know there is this argument among some as far as not feeling Black enough, but we've been deceived ENOUGH. We don't need anymore Coleman Cruz Hughes' slithering around in their underwear and popping up to argue against our reparations. Do you CHOOSE to take shots against us or do you pledge allegiance against anti-Blackness?
If you're a Black bi-racial person, that is what that is. Just remember, you can't be Brothas, Sistas, and Enemies. That applies to everyone across the board, we already have to watch people on the outside and you have to show where you stand. I don't want to get off topic, but don't let these schools do experiments where they leave your Black bi-racial students thinking they're in a different boat than us, remember what that means for children. There were plenty of these "Multi-Racial" Black children born on plantations, and rape was how they got there. Don't act dumb. We aren't openly standing up for everyone, and I don't stand against Black bi-racial people, we're looking at mindsets and track records.
So don't be like the enemies among us or any of these other anti-Black demons, and don't feel like their treachery doesn't touch you or your children either. Play your part for OUR betterment, and you'll be just fine. Don't let a school play with your children and warp their mindset.
