I'm a bigot ?
Says the man who sends me messages like
But I'm the bigot ?
- "And how many have you stupid ass blacks killed with abortion and genocide idiot"
- "Wite womens dey be ugly. Wite peepl in genral dey be dem ugly toooo"
- "Ya, use go wid yo bad self, tell dem white how ebil dey be. Like ya sayd, wite peepl r da duvil. Dey don even now ebonics dum honkey"
And who is this 'We' ? Are you the spokesperson for white people now ?
There no bigger crime that systematic racism.
But whites cling to the ideas that blacks are naturally criminal This ideology justifies imprisoning black youth as a public service, while whites who use and deal drugs are simply misguided and deserving of rehabilitation. The news that loves to report crimes by black ppl.
To most whites blacks commit whatever crime because it’s their nature, they’re inherently evil. To most whites, whites commit whatever crime because of their troubled upbringing.
And going to prison is not even the worst of it: it is being branded a felon for life. You are damaged goods. Even churches and civil rights lawyers will want little to do with you, much less employers. Most professional licences are out.
So is public housing for five years and food stamps for ever. You are never allowed to get a fresh start. In most cases you are back in prison within five years. You have fallen into an underclass designed by White people.
Even Blacks who never go to prison, or never have anyone in their family who did, are affected. Blacks are locked up at such high rates that all Blacks fall under suspicion of being possible criminals. So much so that a White felon has a better chance of getting a job than an equally qualified Black non-felon.
Even though drug laws are completely colour-blind and even though Whites and Blacks use drugs at about the same rate, Blacks are still way more likely to be stopped, to be searched, to be arrested, to be found guilty and to be sent to prison for a long time.
That is because the Supreme Court has made it nearly impossible to prove that the police or the courts are racist as we see with the numerous cases of police brutality.
So the racism of prosecutors, judges and police officers runs wild.
So in the end we know all about what is wrong with blacks, because that makes white people feel better about themselves, but very little is said about what is wrong with white people and the white racism built into society.
