I hear you. According to most whites, blacks don't belong anywhere except the poorest parts of the hood. I talked about this in my book years ago. They never EXPECT to see you anywhere except the worse places. When I came out to California, the first thing that I noticed was how blacks were practically herded into Oakland. If you went somewhere else, for instance Walnut Creek, or even Montclair, whites would stare you down, and many would even say something to you about being in those good quality places. California was the first place, or rather, the Bay Area, that I experienced TRUE racism. It's in the system out here. However, ever since George Floyd and COVID-19 hit, it has become much less racist to live in the Bay. Asians are catching hell out here due to COVID; and they are some of the most racist groups of people that I have ever encountered.
I can't tell you how many times a Black person or a Black family was told the following by these Anti-Black racists:
"Why don't you just go back to where you came from?"
"Why don't you go to [insert poor Black area here] and shop there?"
"I need to see proof that you live here."
"Can you show me your ID? I need to see your ID."
"You people are always complaining."
"You're being aggressive."
"You are being too loud."
"You are disrespectful and rude."
"So what do you do for a living?"
"How did hear about us or this event?"
"I'm not being racist, I'm just asking a question."
"This us our protocol" or "We ask everyone..."
[Insert racist joke or remark or dogwhistle here]
And countless more examples.
Let's not even get started on the times Black people were/are mistreated and screamed at and called "n1gger", "Black b1tch", and other racist slurs while walking outside or driving on the road and just for existing while the perpetrators try to deny or wrongfully justify calling you racist slurs and racist code words because you "cut them off", "accidentally bumped into them or their child", or "something."
Yet America and its anti-Black racist populace
love to brag and boast about the country being a diverse "melting pot", right?! They only conveniently brag about the "melting pot" feature so they can brag about how "totally not racist" and diverse and progressive America is in order to look good to everybody else and boast their own over-inflated, self-important egos all while oppressing, discriminating against, disenfranchising, hating, neglecting, gaslighting, abusing, avoiding, fearing, being suspicious of, terrorizing, sneering at, spitting on, attacking, harassing, bullying, murdering, lynching, raping, looking down upon and resenting Black people inside that very same "melting pot." They'll brag about interracial relationships and marriages all while still being racist and calling their Black partners and Black biracial children racist slurs like "n1gger baby" and "n1gger" or disowning their white relatives for dating and having kids with a Black person. They preach
racial tolerance, which is a code phrase for, "We can just find a way to put up with the Negro and understand the Negro and their struggle and we don't ever have to compromise ourselves or our behavior for them no matter what." We are
tolerated at best.
Meanwhile, people (including Black people) are being forced and shamed into respecting and accepting these other groups like LGBTQIA+ (many who are also anti-Black racists and white supremacists themselves) as they get the red carpet treatment at the expense of ourselves.
White people are so racist with this ish that they even called Italians WOPs when they started immigrating to America. They legit are racist to anyone that is too dark, too cultured, or too different from them. It is insane.
This is why I keep telling people, do what you can to move out of these city areas. Find places with smaller populations and invest in them. Other black folks who share your values will show up. We can cultivate our own areas.
And the sad thing is, too many, if not most of these very same white Italians, white Irish, white Jewish, white Polish, white Greeks, Latinos, Asians, non-Black Native Americans, Arabs, other non-Black groups and immigrants that experienced discrimination were and
still are among the same ones being oppressively anti-Black racist to Black American people today.
You referring to the infamous 'show your papers' discrimination regime? It's these white bastards who should be harassed and made to credentialise themselves on demand because they are murderous usurpers of stolen land! We need to keep reminding them of that fact when they impose themselves into our spaces and attempt to project delusions of superiority! Stop cow towing to their bullshit self imposed authority.
Birtherism. The Birtherism Movement that dirty degenerate racist Donald Trump and Melanoma Melania Trump kicked off around the time of the Obama's presidential reelection campaign. Remember how
huge it was? Remember how Trump and all the other anti-Black racist Obama haters were berating Obama and demanding him to show his US birth certificate? It was a
huge media circus.
And even when Obama eventually caved and showed his birth certificate to the public, these anti-Obama racists
still claimed that his birth certificate was a fake one along with his "fake" tears during his Sandy Hook shooting speech. Being a Birther was fashionable like being a QAnon member or Sandy Hook Shooting denier.
Now Obama is no friend of the Black community, but the goal of the Birtherism movement was to generate enough hate for Barack
Hussein Obama II, falsely associate him with as well tie and link him to both the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Extremists that are "trying to hijack and take over America", and to delegitimize Obama's presidency and both strip away and nullify Obama's US Citizenship. That was a massive test run. And they
want to and
are trying to pull off and do the very same exact thing to Black American citizens like they tried to do with Obama.
Everyday they cream their pants to the idea of officially stripping Black American people of of our US Citizenship and the little rights we have and officially making us slaves again or outright exterminating us like "mayates" (a slur that Spanish speaking racists use to refer to Black people as roaches, even Cardi B infamously called Black women roaches).
