Omarosa's Karma

Omarosa is an example of trying to be a team player with anti-Black people. It doesn't work out for the best at the end of the day. Not only will your throat be cut by your so-called friends that you openly disrespected Black people for, but you also end up burning bridges in the Black community.

For those of you on that forgive and forget bandwagon, you can only blame yourself if they fool you twice. That's right, you only have yourself to blame when they've revealed their ways to you and you believe it's safe to chill around a backstabber.

It's open season on Omarosa right now and she deserves it to an extent, she needs to be reminded of who she is in this nation. “We are targets” and that's the same song it's always been. Kissing white supremacist ass won't change that, the ability to stabilize and defend a Black economic base will; especially in a system of justice.

She stood strong and confident in her role in Trump's Klan Administration and once she got the boot she starts speaking on things and representing herself as an African American woman. She has some nerve, but that's for us as Black people to feel not non-Black people. 

This is what Omarosa said:

“As the only African American woman in the White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the President, I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people”.

That pisses me off, because what that says to me is after she gets the boot, after seeing and hearing all this stuff now it's time to spill the beans? She's trying to entice people to buy her book. She can spill the beans, but it's nothing we aren't seeing unless there are documented conversations and plans to take us out. Other than that I see it as a way to gain sympathy and a pass to get back into the good graces of Black people while capitalizing on her next opportunity (possibly in a Black-Owned Organization).

I don't like that, if you see harm coming our way you have a way to covertly put the word out about what you heard. No one had to know it was you, that would've been more commendable than this, and if you're going to do this you have to be more strategic about it to keep White Supremacists from placing a target on you.

I don't want to hear about what you were a witness to if you just stood there. Ask yourselves this question:

How long would she have continued standing there witnessing it?

She has to be sent packing right along with Stacy Dash, Amber Philips, Robin Roberts, Jason Whitlock, Damon Young, and a slew of others.

Robin Roberts needs to go to, even if she dissed Omarosa. Her comment went viral and it may seem funny, but Robin is no one to praise. She treats black men and women in a more disrespectful manner than she usually does white people, that makes others feel safe. she didn't have to say Bye Felicia (she wanted to get a bigger batch of those butter biscuits I suppose by dissing her for the pleasure of her non-Black audience).

She's a serpent and has shown what she was willing to do to demonize a black person. She tried to make Nate Parker apologize for something he didn't do, but apparently he's guilty no matter what. That's a similar mindset to Amber Philips without being as loud and overt. This is the same Robin who wanted to focus on the negative when Chris Brown was trying to move forward.

She deserves to be exiled with these people, they can form their own community to either embrace or destroy for the highest anti-Black bidder but I won't be a part of it.

I would say that Omarosa's delusional by saying my people, but if you look at the forgivers, even when anti-Black people take the life of someone they love she might assume it's all good. She won't get a pass with me and other like minded Brothas and Sistas.

She responded to Robin Roberts by saying its a Black woman civil war. I don't know why she'd say that when Robin Roberts is more on her side with the mindset she has but its another reason to be weary because she has no problem presenting that to non-Black people to eat up and regurgitate. Her situation with Robin Roberts made her feel like it was okay to tie that in there, like black women are in a war.

In a sense, she's right even though its probably not in the way I see it but that's not a discussion for these non-Black outlets because they don't have our best interests at heart. I can't even say they don't have our best interest some of the time, I haven't seen it any of the damn time.

When it comes to this war, it may not have been realized by the majority of Black people, but there is an unspoken clash going on. I'm not talking about Black men vs Black women, kill that. I'm talking about a real clash that has been around for quite some time but Black women get grouped together by some people who in turn try to shift Black women into feminism. The same is done to try and group Black men together by the exact same people trying to shift Black women into feminism that's backed by White Supremacy because the long game is to covertly wipe us out. This is usually seen in the left wing of White Supremacy. The right wing is on front street, so it's a good cop bad cop scenario but they both work together against us as Black people.

On one side of this clash there are the Coonettes VS the Sistas who don't invest time in the destruction of the community and our people. While Brothas like myself are against the Coons for the exact same reason. So it's White Supremacy & Coons vs Sistas & Brothas. We can't support them and we can't accept them just like we can't do with the anti-Black people and its none of their damn business. Black Beef is beloved and popular because it means pain and destruction for Black people. If it spilled over, that's when it would be a problem, but when it comes to us, encore, let the show go on. You have to remember where we live, you have to remember our history and the era's because it gives you a better perspective and not a delusional one manufactured for your destruction.

Remember who's at fault if it takes you more than once or even twice to get the message from a backstabber. Don't be a stepping stone for an opportunist.

Don't run out here in front of these cameras to bash Omarosa, use this situation as a double edged sword. They're talking down about her, but how many people have been let go and didn't get the treatment she has thus far?

If you don't see the difference, do your research and ask other Black people with first hand experience. No need to debate with them if you disagree, just listen, observe and see if the things you've heard and read here are on point. This isn't a discussion about all non-Black people being racist, it's about the ones being instrumental in our continued struggle and those Black people who stand with them (i.e. Omarosa).

Damon Young's persecution of straight Black men

I've highlighted my responses in yellow, but Damon Young is another serpent contributing to the demonizing of Black men as a whole seemingly in the name of Feminism.

It feels counterintuitive to suggest that straight black men as a whole possess any sort of privilege—particularly the type of privilege created for and protected by whiteness. In America, we are near or at the bottom in every relevant metric determining quality of life. Our arrest and incarceration rates, our likelihood of dying a violent death, our likelihood of graduating high school and attending college, our employment rates, our average net worth, our likelihood of surviving past 70—I could continue, but the point is clear.

He put that out there to avoid any backlash over his title, but he's trying to use that title to try and put others in the mind frame of placing Straight Black Men in that light regardless when it comes to Black women.

But assessing our privilege (or lack thereof) on these facts considers only our relationship with whiteness and with America. Intraracially, however, our relationship to and with black women is not unlike whiteness’s relationship to us. In fact, it’s eerily similar.

It's not eerily similar, but he's trying to get his readers into that mindset.

We’re the ones for whom the first black president created an entire initiative to assist and uplift.

Who created the situation that made him create something of that sort? Furthermore, he didn't do that for straight Black men alone. He did that for men and women and it wasn't specifically for Black people.

You can read it for yourself at the government link below: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2016/03/30/president-obama-has-now-commuted-sentences-348-individuals

The people given clemency were listed as individuals, not straight Black men, and they weren't all straight Black men so he's lying to his readers to try and sell his narrative.

We’re the ones whose beatings and deaths at the hands of the police galvanize the community in a way that the beatings and sexual assaults and deaths that those same police inflict upon black women do not.

Answer me this. Have the tides turned to actually punish Police for all they've done to harm Black men and women in an unjustified manner? He's speaking in a blanketed way too, as if straight Black men haven't spoken out against Sistas being harmed. For the most part the media will not put a camera in the face of a logical well spoken straight Black man that speaks out for the community. The cameras are usually on Black women speaking out, the Black people who look crazy or borderline homeless who can barely talk straight or Black men and women who don't care for other Black people. So it sounds like he has even bought into the narrative that Black women are the backbone of the community, while at the same time trying to punish straight Black men for any challenges they face. I mention the "Backbone" because certain brothas and sistas are backbones of the community, its not automatically Black women and its definitely not all. If you live according to the notion that Black women are the backbone of the community, what would your outlook be towards the Black men that walk the walk?

We’re the ones whose mistreatment inspired a boycott of the NFL despite the NFL’s long history of mishandling and outright ignoring far worse crimes against black women.

He's trying to segment the pain, as if one needs to outweigh another to be deemed wrong. The NFL boycott was not inspired because of straight Black men being hurt, it was based on Black people being hurt or killed and cops are facing no consequences. Look at what he is saying though, he is trying to turn it into something else.

We are the ones who get the biggest seat at the table and the biggest piece of chicken at the table despite making the smallest contribution to the meal.

He's saying "We", as if he knows what's going on in every single home where a straight Black man lives. If that's what he is doing that's on him to confess to his audience, but again he's trying to sell a narrative.

And nowhere is this more evident than when considering the collective danger we pose to black women and our collective lack of willingness to accept and make amends for that truth. It’s a damning and depressing paradox.

Again, Damon needs to speak for himself, because there are countless straight Black men who do not fit this.

When speaking about race and racism, we want our concerns and our worries and our fears to be acknowledged. We want white people to at least make an effort to understand that our reality is different from theirs and that white supremacy is a vital and inextricable part of America’s foundation, and we grow frustrated when they refuse to acknowledge their role—historically and presently—in propagating it.

I'm not one of those straight Black men who pushes for the understanding of White people, my outlook is to learn and teach Black people how to grow and how to punish the people who try to persecute us. Damon is trying to persecute straight Black men in his article.

When the racism isn’t blatant or doesn’t appear to exist at all, we want them to give us the benefit of the doubt.

Who is he trying to sell this to? He keeps saying we, but if he believes that he's making up racism in his mind then that's something he has to deal with. His focus on trying to be the mouthpiece for straight Black men is something to question. Like he's stepping up for the rest of us to get something off his chest that we we're all guilty of.

Because we’ve trained ourselves to be able to sense it—even in minute and barely perceptible amounts—because our safety depends on our recognition of it. We share how it feels to be stopped by a police officer, or perhaps to walk into an all-white bar and have each eye trained on us, or perhaps to jaunt down a street in an all-white neighborhood, and we want them to understand how words and gestures they consider to be innocuous can be threatening, even if there’s no intention of malice.

He's mentioning this stuff under that title to try and give straight Black men a similar appearance.

Although we recognize that not all white people are actively racist, we want them to accept that all benefit from racism, and we become annoyed when individual whites take personal exception and center themselves in any conversation about race, claiming to be one of the “good ones” and wishing for us to stop and acknowledge their goodness.

Here is the selling point to try to place straight Black men into the fold of being White people of Black people and he's also trying to persecute the decent straight brothas. I will not take responsibility for a no good Black man. As a matter of fact, I will probably expand on this post as far as decent Black men are concerned. He wants there to be an approach of just accepting the blame and not pushing back against bullshit, but enough of that gets done. Just like the bad behaviors that come in other forms, he must also get his, for the demonizing of “Straight Black Men” as a whole.

But when black women share that we pose the same existential and literal danger to them that whiteness does to us; and when black women ask us to give them the benefit of the doubt about street harassment and sexual assault and other forms of harassment and violence we might not personally witness; and when black women tell us that allowing our cousins and brothers and co-workers and niggas to use misogynistic language propagates that culture of danger; and when black women admit how scary it can be to get followed and approached by a man while waiting for a bus or walking home from work; and when black women articulate how hurtful it is for our reactions to domestic abuse and their rapes and murders to be “what women need to do differently to prevent this from happening to them” instead of “what we (men) need to do differently to prevent us from doing this to them,” their words are met with resistance and outright pushback.

Damon really has some nerve, and he is targeting straight Black men, which includes decent brothas. I would respond with something further here, but I will hold off.

After demanding from white people that we’re listened to and believed and that our livelihoods are considered, our ears shut off and hearts shut down when black women are pleading with us.

For the record, this isn't something every single Black woman is pleading. As a matter of fact there are sistas that are well protected. Who is he selling this to though? Is he trying to say that straight Black men deserve to suffer in silence because he feels that all Black women are suffering in silence? He isn't acknowledging the straight Black men that stand up for Black women right or wrong because it doesn't strengthen his narrative. His article strengthens the feminist narrative.

Making things worse is that black women and girls are also black people in America—a fact we seem to forget whenever possessing a bad memory is convenient.

There have been straight Black men that have and continue to stand up for sistas, even against other Black women that have spoken down against sistas. My post isn't to plead with this serpent, Damon, it's to basically reveal one of the people who are part of the problem who may appear as if they are trying to help. He isn't laying out a way to make a change, he's trying to sell a narrative against straight Black men to assist with an agenda. He's mentioning street harassment but now a days you can't even say "Hi" to be a decent person, speaking can put a Black man in a situation where he's being labeled someone that harasses women.

There are men that don't even bother anymore to avoid drama and as time progresses what do you think that's going to further promote? Making nothing into a problem when it comes to those of us that aren't guilty, makes it hard for some of our brothas and sistas to see straight. There could be nothing but a joyous occasion going on, but someone like Damon could sell a narrative to turn it into something entirely different in someone's mind. That's the power of deception. You ever see someone mess up their relationship because someone outside of their relationship got into their head and made them paranoid? That's the power of deception, and that's the type of bs Damon is selling against straight Black men.

The effects of racism—metaphysical and literal—and the existential dread and dangers felt when existing while black are not exclusive to black men and boys.

I don't know about you, but I have never said or thought this, Black people are in the struggle not just men but he acts like this is a mindset we share. So who is he trying to sell this too? Is he trying to gain the support of (Black) feminists? Seems like it.

They face the same racisms we do and the same doubts from whites about whether the racism actually exists that we do, and then they’re forced to attempt to convince their brothers and partners and friends and fathers and cousins and lovers of the dangers of existing as black women, and they’re met with the same doubts. The same resistance. The same questions. They are not believed in the (predominantly white) world or in their (predominantly black) communities. And we (black men) remain either uninterested in sincerely addressing and destructing this culture of danger and pervasive doubt or refuse to admit it even exists.

Damon isn't speaking for all Black women, because there are plenty of Black women who don't think like that. There are plenty of sistas who can comfortably say “I'm going to get my dad/brother/cousins” to address a Black man for disrespecting them, but that wouldn't fit Damon's narrative.

I’m not quite sure where I first heard “straight black men are the white people of black people.” I know I read a version of it recently in Saki Benibo’s “The 4:44 Effect.” Mela Machinko tweeted, “Cishet black men are the white people of black people” over a year ago and apparently received so much criticism for it that she temporarily locked her account. But in a conversation we had earlier today, she shared that her tweet was actually a revision of another tweet she’d read. (A month after Mela’s tweet, it was revised again by @rodimusprime.) I also know that I’ve read pieces and been a part of conversations connecting our (black men’s) relationships with black women to the relationships we have with white people but never quite heard it articulated this way.

Either way, that statement, that phrasing and what they suggest are shocking and succinct: simple, subtle and fucking scary.

And it’s true.

Take note, Damon mentions Saki Benibo, someone who slithered out of the woodwork to persecute Nate Parker who was acquitted of raping a White woman because the evidence showed otherwise. He labels him a rapist when Nate Parker was under attack to prevent the success of “Birth of a Nation”. That's what they were deployed for. This serpent also had the nerve to label Nate Parker a murderer of this woman by saying he did so via her suicide. Nate has the right to sue for slander. He doesn't include any evidence of the woman being publicly humiliated by Parker or anyone else, but he puts it in his article. Where are all these people who went after Nate? Why are they no longer targeting him? Did their handlers call them back or send them after another Black person? This is who Damon mentions. By the way, Saki writes for the Medium which is also owned by a non-Black company.

I guess his article was inspired by Mela Machinko, but listen to what he's saying. What I am getting from this is not really steps that can be utilized to make an impact. I'm hearing someone trying to low key incorporate feminism into the mindset of straight Black men.
