This randumb on the internet pissed me off. This is what ensued.

Oh, you want to talk about systemic racism?
Ok, let's do that.
The war on drugs started with a bright idea of Nixon's. The DEA was created under his administration.
No one really fucked with that banner until Reagan. Actually, it was Nancy Reagan's doing. That whole "Say No To Drugs" campaign, remember that?
Ok, so let's move on. This campaign was the spearhead for starting a war on drugs. More cops. This was the time crack cocaine hit the street, for which the CIA is partially responsible for, btw.
There were images of crack babies, BLACK crack babies EVERYWHERE.
This lead to more crackdown in the minority neighborhoods, you know, things like this here roadblock.
Thing is, these folks aren't getting the drugs that infest these neighborhoods from other minorities, they're getting them from fucking WHITE FOLKS.
Yeah, white motherfuckers control the drug trade. They gots the motherfucking money.
We don't let the brown people have money in this country. They might go and get uppity or something.
Then, we justify MOAR patrol because white people are fucking PARANOID that their neighborhood is next. All while the neighbor on the left is growing hydroponic weed in the basement and the neighbor on the right is cooking meth, but we rarely hear about those because the cops are off fucking with the brown folks. Why? Well, because white people just don't commit crimes, like, hardly ever.
It shows in the statistics. Yep, more brown people get sent to jail.
That's a really good way to make them slave labor as with UNICOR and their ilk.
Oh, and once we release them from jail, we take away their right to vote.
Probably a bunch of other stuff too, like, being able to get a job, or affordable housing, or food stamps.
But, fuck 'em right? They don't deserve to have a voice anymore. They don't deserve to survive.
White people commit just as much crime, but the cops aren't looking for that.
Take the vote away from too many white folks you might have a goddamn revolution on your hands. Things do ok the way they are. Our government is all good with pouring trillions of dollars into the war on drugs to keep the white folks feeling safe.
So are we. Everyone of us that gets afraid from the "Elevated Terrorist Warning" notifications, to COPS, to the nightly news.
BROWN PEOPLE BAD. BROWN PEOPLE NO MATTER.
It's all good though, right?
You're sleeping comfy and cozy in your bed tonight.
Nobody wants to fucking talk about it. Well, hardly anyone.
We might have to talk about all those white kids smoking weed and huffing aerosol, and dropping acid or X, or driving into those black neighborhoods to buy their heroin. We might have to be wary in our own neighborhoods. We might have to pay attention to the guy that lives next door, he might be a drug manufacturer. We might have to notice the creepy white kids who have been planning to blow up the school with an arsenal for 3 years.
If we look for those crimes, we might have to put those people in jail. We might take their vote away. We can't do that, though. It's better to make them afraid of where they don't live by distracting them with the horrors of it, and pretty much ignoring what's happening right under their noses. Keep them from knowing what a criminal looks like, unless it's a black criminal. Keep them afraid of those people.
It's always white people on the news talking about, "I would have never known he was like that. He seemed like such a normal guy."
Black folks get on the news, "Yeah, I knew something wasn't right with that muhfuggah. I knew dat shit! I was tellin' my Grandmomma just the other day! Hey, Grandmomma!"
Why do you think that is? There's no poster children for white criminals, are there? There's no COPS with predominantly suburban grow houses and meth labs. There's no white crack babies on the news. There's no statistics about white crime. If we start mistrusting white folks, me might start really mistrusting white folks. We can't have that now, can we?
We white people are complacent. We're safe.
Well, we think we're safe, anyway.
And we vote. And we vote for the people that make us feel most safe, mostly the white people that make us feel safe.
So, because we don't have it unfolding around us, it surely means it isn't happening. AMIRITE? AM I RITE?
We are purposefully led to believe it's only over there. So the white folks with the real money get on with ass raping us without us knowing, or giving a fuck, because--NOT BROWN.
It's all about the vote, and as long as it's only those brown people who make us scared that aren't voting, who cares. They aren't coming to get us white folks, because we just don't do that sort of thing. We're civilized. Not like those savage brown people with their shitty neighborhoods and non-existent front lawns.
Because--NOT BROWN
He who rocks the cradle, rules the world.
And powerful white folks are rocking the shit out of other white folks' cradles. While simultaneously giving them something to be absolutely terrified of having happen to where they live, what's happening over there.
It's good to be a White American. We're pampered, and entitled, and safe. And we don't have to be those poor, poor, terrible, savage brown people. At least we're not them, and as long as we're not them, and will never be them, we have a blase' attitude about them.
Basically, fuck 'em, we ain't gotta be one, like EVER. Sucks to be them.
Brown folks have never felt safe in this country. Or any other country, for that matter. It's not something brown folks stand to lose, this cocoon of safety. They never had it from the get go.
White folks have it and are terrified of losing it. White folks from America, especially. The globe's Golden Children. Entitled bunch of motherfuckers that we are.
Kicking ass and taking names since 1776! HOO RAH!
We're getting rocked to sleep by our government and no one wants to talk about it. A whole segment of HUMAN BEINGS are being marginalized and hardly anyone gives a fuck.
Anyway, I'm rambling now.
Wake up, people.
Wake the fuck up.

ReplyDeleteYou like that, eh?
DeleteThe truth always resonates. We destroy our own potential as a society when we deny cultural pluralism as the goal.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the imaginary cocoon of safety. Some places it really is imaginary. My parents' county is probably the meth capital of the world (rural Missouri). As we drive around they can point out the "meth houses". But no one gets even as far as a trial because there is a 6 month waiting time for a state lab to run a test to decide if what was found actually is meth. The whole system is on overload.
