When people see me or meet me for the first time they see a white woman, and automatically they think they know what my beliefs and political leanings are, based on my white skin color.
After getting to know me, I've had some people, even friends say to me,
"Jenna, why do you hate your own race?"
So let me get this out there so I need not revisit this subject ever again.
I DO NOT HATE WHITE PEOPLE.
I am white. I have no guilt complex nor do I have any animosity towards fair skinned people. I have no issues regarding my skin color. My whole family is "white."
Here's my issue.
WHITE FUCKING BEHAVIOR.
Why? You ask.
I'm ashamed of our greed, our white narcissism, and the darkness of Christian Fascism that is eating us from the inside out. We wave the American flag, and yell and scream about patriotism, but use the system to keep one race in power over everyone else is neither patriotism nor freedom. That's called a betrayal.
We're soooo terrified of our own history that we ban books, and hide behind censored curriculum, praying the world doesn't see the blood on our hands.
Want proof?
Look in your wallets and purses, we carry the proof of America's original sin in our pockets like an everyday good luck charm. Check out the $20 dollar bill with Andrew Jackson. In the South Andrew Jackson is treated like a God, but let's be real. You're worshipping at the alter of a racist devil. He wasn't just some guy, he was a human trafficker who used the U.S. industrial military complex to steal millions of acres from the indigenous people just to expand the empire of slavery. It doesn't just stop there. Look at the one dollar bill with George Washington, Jefferson on the $2 bill. Funny enough they wrote that,
"All men are created equal."
While keeping hundreds of humans in chains. We've built a holy trinity on morally bankrupt narcissists who treated human life like currency. We celebrated white greed as a virtue, and this wannabe dictator Trump, he's just the newest messiah of that diseased thinking.
White people like talking about civilization like we brought it over on a boat. Funny enough the Aztecs built great cities more advanced and cleaner than any city in Europe at that time. They gave us the crops that kept the rest of the world from starving. How did they get repaid? We stole their gold, then we stole their blueprints for democracy and used it to write the U.S. constitution.
Lets look at the black soul. The truth white America wants to skip. Because if we admit what black people actually did, white fucking genius looks like a fucking lie. Black people didn't just create the swamps, and build the white house. They designed the modern world. If you're reading this on a cell phone right now, you can thank Jessie Russell, a black man who was a pioneer in cellular technology. You survived surgery because Charles Drew figured out the importance of a blood bank. You're living in a house designed by the minds we tried to cage, and we're still trying to ban the authors who wrote the truth about it. This is white intellectual bankruptcy.
White America is scared that the black and brown people want to do to us what we did to them. You're projecting your own violent heart onto them and hoping for a payback that fits your blood thirsty history.
Here's the raw honest truth about black people. They don't want revenge, they never did. That's a white fantasy born out of guilt. They just want to live their fucking lives without asking your permission, and to be left the fuck alone. They just want what's fair. We're soo scared of the monster we created in our own heads that we weaponize the system against them.
To my white sisters, isn't about time we stopped playing the victim? Your fake tears were death warrants for entire communities. I don't give a fuck if this hurts some feelings, and I don't give a fuck that I'm a fellow woman telling you this, because I'm about to bomb on our white men too. White men are the weapon that makes the system work. Look up Tulsa, look up Rosewood, white women tears created all that.
So, white America we've tried everything, we've tried hate, fear, we've tried dominating everyone who doesn't look like us, and it has failed us. Isolation is death. When you cut off the flow of diversity, you aren't just starving your neighbors, you are tying a tourniquet around the veins of our democracy. Fact.
AMERICA IS DIVERSITY.
Our strength isn't our walls, it's different minds working together to make an unstoppable force not based on race or skin color.
Love is the most powerful untapped revolutionary resource in our entire fucking universe. It is the only thing that can turn a broken system into a sanctuary.
