Can We Talk About How Black Women Are Treated As Threats




“Can We Talk About How Black Women Are Treated As Threats, Too?”  This article from The Root began with: “We tend to focus on the consequences of stereotypes about men but Black women are victims of racial violence as well. Understanding that this is a matter of life…”  As a Black woman, I can attest to the aforementioned statement from experience...We are expected to relent to a way of life not conducive to our greatness; to say, "Yezza Mwezza" in many situations otherwise we are seen as an "uppity Negro" rude and arrogant! Many of us have taken off the mask of deception, having awakened to our greatness.

Black women are still constantly perceived as threats by law enforcement and non people of color. We must begin behaving with that awareness, if we are to understand our plight and why we are so hated and feared.

I came to Ghana from West Linn, Oregon, one day when entering the public transportation system, I was expected to not respond to a denigrating remark made by a White female driver who was quite surprised when I politely and intelligently addressed her disrespect. This was no isolated incident, merely one of too many we women of Diaspora have had to deal with like others before her. 

Racism and discrimination is something that we, as strong Black women of Diaspora have endured mostly every day of our life. In fact, it is their racial ignorance and false air of superiority that has made us strong. 

The most perplexing atrocity is that we come home to our Mother Land-Africa and are treated with disdain, the objects of derision, jealous gossip and ill treatment by our African sisters and brothers to be called Oburoni.

Many Africans think that those of Diaspora had a good life of ease and lived a life of luxury. Too many have no idea of our plight in America or of our history, even our (their) African history. 
This is due to the colonization of Africa and the horrid dysfunctional picture of denigration painted by Western and British media of us for the sole purpose to engender distrust and keep us disjointed. We have worked very very hard for what we have accomplished under forced and industrialized servitude.  Think Diasporas had it easy Think Again!

My African brothers and sisters, I want you to know that it is our Ancestors who has brought us here to set you free from your colonial mindsets that Africa may be "Restored beyond Her former beauty". We are the New Man fulfilling the prophecies of the Ancients of Days!

This article that is no longer available was reposted by me as a memory on FB August 2014. . However, this is an important issue that those of Diaspora still face today, of exponential proportions and must be addressed. My statement is also too important to not repost. I would hope that The Root would revisit the article. I would also hope that those of Diaspora and Africans would get ‘unsensored’ news etc. from a “Black” perspective.

U.S. Mexico Border Crisis



While taking  on questions from  The Root’s, Jenée Desmond-Harris, surrounding the most practical and moral approach to the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, it was not surprising that Newt Gingrich made more points than did Van Jones for the
Chicago photos by Carlos Javier Ortiz
protection and preservation of our own underprivileged children and people.  
Chicago 2012


Chicago 2013
The fact that it was Newt Gingrich who brought up the disparities not only people of color are facing in the Chicago area but depicted the state of our people around the USA;
Van Jones clearly stayed away from the perpetual disparities Blacks face by directing his comments of concern for  the fair treatment of ‘immigrants’ in this Statue of Liberty State! 
 





Jim Crow was the Blackest thing that Van Jones  addressed
and even in that  Jim Crow was directed towards  the refugee children! What kind of Black man speaks of not wanting to see Jim Crow  for immigrants when Black people are still suffering from Jim Crow Laws, some of which are still covertly on the books?


The point is that Black people were not immigrants!  The point is that historically, immigrants has always been strategically used to take jobs from people of color and to keep them as underclass people!   Many immigrants were given land to settle here in the USA.  Yet, Blacks never received their 40 Acres or a mule! 


Immigrants are given health benefits when Blacks and poor people have been without!  They are given incentives that Blacks have never received!  They are allowed to draw from a System of which they have never paid into! 



Blacks have to this day been denied reparations when immigrants have been paid handsomely!
Historically, immigrants compact Black people into a perpetual state of poverty and joblessness into the ground. 
Black people were not allowed on  that proverbial ladder and those who were allowed could only take a few steps before being knocked back down or they become a Van Jones turning his back on the plight of Black people simply because he has made it!

LIVE AND LET LIVE


Only days  after  a Nation celebrated Civil Rights Leader, Martin Luther King Jr and his infamous  I have A Dream Speech, a little Black girls dreams were shattered--Self expression and her inalienable right to wear her hair as she desires were crushed.  



Tears ran down the eyes of 7-year old Tiana Parker’s face as she answered Fox23  News question; “Why are you so sad? Her response while wiping away the tears from her eyes was, “Because they do not like my Dreads”! 



Many examples since and prior that are too numerous to list regarding racism! The Root seems to be the only reporting source of the many national disparities regarding racism and raciest acts. 

Black people continually contend with   ruthless vindictive racially motivated  disparities in the Americas and all around the world!  OMG, when will it end?  

Christians spew hate  kill and imprison those who choose an alternate lifestyle. Americans hating on companies attempting to show a diverse world as it is.  When will people learn?

One would think that the recurring incidents of racial disparities cropping up all around the world would give  an indication of just how evil humans are getting.

A Belgian newspaper De Morgen has published pictures of US President Barack Obama and First "Lady Michelle Obama depicted as apes"! IT'S NOT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH! It is a raciest way of "Flipping a script"! However, to whine about freedom of speech versus dealing with the true issues are indicative of the major problem in the USA and around the world! I, for one, as an American and as an Afrikan American was insulted as well.  Therefore, do not expect that I or any person of color would not show disdain, keeping silent condoning racism! #BreitbartNews

I continue to be mortified at the blatant disrespect for human life and a person’s right to live their life the way they see fit.  Why does one go out of their way to correct another human being to the point of forcing their dysfunctional values upon another just boggles my mind! The pathetic thing is that they usually have audacity to attribute these actions to their god. As long as one’s preferences does not infringe upon another, isn’t that what 'Living' is all about? 


Sara Palin, the woman who ran for President of the United States, is saying that if you do not agree with Robinson that your coming against  "all of 'US'?"  However, it seemed that Robinson was hurling racist or should I say Western anti-Black Christian slave mentality concepts toward denigrating African Americans.   Robinson is delivering ”the good news about  Jesus” to people, at the same time spewing hate and coming against others of God's Creation?

When are one's own personal values and ignorant precepts of planting seeds of hate, bigotry, where one's inherent rights to live a free life as they choose considered  to be  free speech?  When does free speech stop being free speech becoming communistic racist and biased propaganda?



The ignorance of racism from within and without a race of people seems to be rampant!  Black people have been beat down so very low and removed from their natural created elements that they have become soiled within the European and Western Christian concepts of a slave mentality mindset that they cannot see their uniqueness!


Heads of State from all around the World came to honor Mandela, the 'Father of Peace'.  All too many mimic the peace process.  Many are talking however, as the days pass by these fond memories of Mr. Mandela's Legacy of peace, freedom and unity seems to be winding down; many resume their racist disjointed posture of hatred and ignorance!  

Apartheid, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, racism, even now what I call 'industrialized slavery’ in the USA and Afrika has crippled the entire World!


Let's just look at the disparities not from a racist perspective but a social and educational point of view from one of the greatest minds ever--Albert Einstein.  



Mr. Einstein says: “This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils… an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.…The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society.” 



We must as a people learn how to walk side-by-side learning to live our own life allowing others to live theirs--LIVE AND LET LIVE!

Government and educational institutions all over the Nation, instead of a healthy “competitive attitude” being engrained into the minds  of our children.  There is an inferiority complex being established, lack of pride and a grave disparaging message of the diminishing self worth is being implanted into this impressionable mind and the mind of not only “Black” children but children from every walk of life.


Those who promote their racist and biased views are a blight to American Society.  They ignorantly  send the message that “Black” Culture, that “Black” heritage, that “Blacks” are inferior; that they are not good enough as they are to be presented to society; that they must inevitable be like, dress like and look like their en-slavers (biased mind captivators)  in order to be accepted.

African Americans must reject European Idealism, standards and be renewed, learn and embrace their unique and godly cultural diversities within our own culture.  We must take it upon ourselves to  build up our own children, honoring and respecting  individual "uniqueness" of all people.

As "Black" people are regaining a consciousness of their rich heritage and being restored back to the importance of their cultural roots; their contributions they made to society,  philosophy, characteristics and traits that were plagiarized and taken away and consequently bred from them; to become aware of the contributions and culture from an advanced Society that has long since been buried in Western Christianity and the Transatlantic Slave Trade; we must be reconciled to the ways of our Ancestors!   

Black people should be left alone to rediscover, explore and learn true history of who we are and where we came from; to express the genius within us.  Black people should receive Reparations for all the atrocities forced upon them. 

Therefore we call for unity; walk in it and we all must educate and reeducate ourselves to Truth.


Those of you who would be stumbling blocks in our way just   learn to live and let live!
