"There is no argument that can be made to justify the killing
of Renisha
McBride as Whites ride under the protection of the obliviousness
created by White privilege and a justice system that exists to uphold White
supremacy, not fairness and certainly not justice.
I have been accosted by drunk White men and recently had my
privacy invaded at home by a random White woman, which I wrote about
here: Unlike
Renisha McBride, A White Woman Came To My Door (Not Even For Help) And Lived
Another Day. I did not murder any of them. Whites have spit on my life
since childhood and I have not taken a life and most certainly not for someone
knocking on my door. Yet Whites I’ve seen who seem to cheer her death have
the audacity to attempt righteous indignation about her toxicology report
released to the media for mass use even as “54 year old homeowner” has replaced
this man’s name? Whites are really trying to have righteous indignation
regarding alcohol? Do they know what they are like when drunk? Do they know the
chaos they cause? Do they know the hell of dealing with them in a
corporate workspace,college campus, restaurant or neighborhood when drunk?
The entitlement and White privilege plus lack of inhibition? The hell that
causes people.
A murder victim is being treated as a criminal. Still no
charges filed and she’s already been buried. Yet the smear campaign against her
continues and the quasi-anonymity for
the killer continues. In a White supremacist society, Black victims are treated
like criminals and Black criminals are treated like animals.
And since a part of White supremacy includes the
toddler-like nature that many Whites approach race with, all of your derailment and
excuses are covered here so no need to add them to my post: I
don’t care if “all” Whites are not like this; no I am not the “real”
racist; no,
Black people aren’t racist towards you; no,
racism isn’t just insults; no, this
incident is not
isolated; no, this is not about drones or President
Obama—mentioned as a way for you to erase what has happened here; no this
is not about the White
supremacist label “Black on Black” crime that you think Black people
are “happy” about, when most crime is intraracial (including “White on White”
crime) and Black people who harm Whites pay heavily when Whites who harm Black
people do
not; and no, this is not about some “generic” issue where “anyone” is
capable of doing badly. Race cannot be erased from a history that used our
blood as its ink for its story.
I am tired of even having to write a
disclaimer on my posts because your White supremacist petulance includes a lack
of critical thinking, lack of boundaries, repetition of easily refuted
derailment and a lack of self-control. I am…tired. I cannot even have a conversation
on something like this—which is so stressful already—without having to address
bigots every step of the way. Fuck you for this."
