But you know, I want you to understand that. If I see…say during the Civil Rights movement, there were women who would rush out to the schoolyards, when they were trying to integrate schools and they would push over the school buses that were bringing Black children to the school. Push them over and set them afire. And when I saw that, I was wondering whether I could ever get a group of Black women, under any circumstances, from any walk of life, to hurt some white children. To set a bus on fire full of white children for any reason. Prostitutes, drug addicts, ministers, teachers, Black women of any level. Could I call them altogether and say we have got to burn these white children. And I didn't believe I could ever find that. So I thought, those white mothers, they were not just white women, they had actually had children. They knew what that was like. But they could do that to those children. They could spit at a child. So I thought, that is the most degrading life I could imagine of being an adult. Who could do that? If I were those white people — the absence of that shame was so profound that the real victim was not those children. It was those women. Who had given up everything. Their motherhood. Their womanhood. Their citizenship. Everything to do that nasty thing. Now that is a true victim of history. ~ Toni Morrison
individuals that falsely and deliberately label Foundational Black Americans as a “cult”, as the “KKK”, as Russian bots, as a hate group or anything else that counters what describes our lineage….your rhetoric is not only fully inaccurate but intentionally nefarious. Doing this is an ethnic violence that is so oppositional. Very agent provocateur-ish — it’s a willful collaboration with an oppressive system that has done everything in its power to dismantle and prevent our progression and rightful claims because of our very distinct history in our country. People who do this…it’s a malicious association to purposely mislead with a mission.
Everyone knows good and well the importance of self-identification. How self-identification instills power and empowerment and has impact to redress and repair. Self-identification properly defines you as a person and the ethnic group you belong to. It does all this to restore. This is what Foundational Black Americans have done. Took the lineage of our ancestors and family that is continuous in the United States of America and given our bloodline its rightful, linguistic identifier. We have taken the words of Dr. King, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass and so many others and used those same descriptors in their statements to define ourselves.
So when people are online and on news channels by way of legacy media weekly and daily deliberately mislabeling and misleading the masses on a large scale when they know better is very much informant behavior.
There is no time in human history that WE have gone to foreign lands and committed wars or genocides on any inhabitants, no time in human history we’ve pillaged and plundered any people and their land, no time in human history have we terrorized people by burning them out their homes, no time in human history have we lynched women and children and men and castrated them and displayed their genitals as a prize or sent the lynching photos as souvenirs to family or used Sunday as a day to publicly kill people, no time in human history have we dropped bombs on a community, no time in human history have we gone to places of worship or religious buildings and placed bombs and blew up children in Sunday school or shot the church members while they held Bible study, no time in human history have we burned orphanages to the ground, no time in human history have we gone to another country and committed acts of terrorism or bombings, no time in human history have we instigated false racial tensions with violence to illegally confiscate their homes and lands, no time we have ever inflicted terror with cross burnings on lawns or performed knight rides to cause fear and no time in human history have we committed massacres against people, no time in human history have we brutally raped and sexually assaulted the women and girls to force them to reproduce to make an enslaved labor class, no time in human history have we ethnically eradicated or caused tribal or ethnic division between the natives of the land. No time in human history have we experimented on people and used their bodies for non-therapeutic purposes. No time in human history have we forced governmental topples or takeovers in foreign countries or assassinated foreign leaders and ministers and activists. No time in human history have we ever worked in tandem and deployed the national guard or police force to disrupt the progress of people with militarized action. No time in human history have we done any inhumane acts to be called the KKK or a hate group, terroristic group or white supremacists.
People who do this calculated and guided disframing do it with the purpose to strip, discredit and to place a target on an ethnic group of people simply wanting to acknowledge their lineage.
