You’re a product of the detrimental values that are placed on you by our own people!

Reparations would be nice if the world actually saw…over a period of decades, that blacks feel that black lives matter, but they don’t.

Healing can’t begin until accountability for keeping slavery on the forefront of black minds, all the while teaching the youth to fear cops so that we can prey on our people freely without consequence.

There’s no self-hatred here, just honesty.When black America stops lying to themselves, then maybe healing can begin.

It is our right. Your blog is filled with so much self-hatred. Your characterization of Blacks is a description of the results of the injury we have suffered because of slavery. It’s called Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. We need to heal. You too.
