February 19, 2019 Don’t get caught fighting phantoms… Church. š¾š¾š¾H/T @dmitradawn#Repost @thefreeblackwomenslibraryā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢āRacism was always a con game that sucked all the strength of the victim. Itās the red flag that is danced before the head of a bull. Itās purpose is only to distract. To keep the bullās mind away from his power and his energy. Keep it focused on anything but his own business. Itās hoped for consequence is to define Black people as reaction to white presenceā¦ “Itās important to know who the real enemy is and to know the very serious function of racism, which is distraction. It keeps you from doing YOUR WORK. It keeps you explaining over and over your reason for being. “It may very well be left to artists to grapple with this fact (the distraction). For art focuses on the single grain of rice, the tree-shaped scar and the names of people shipped not only the number. And to the artist one can only say: not to be confused. You donāt waste your energy fighting the fever. You must only fight the disease. And the disease is not racism. It is greed and the struggle for power. “And I urge you to be careful for there is a deadly prison. A prison that is erected when one spends oneās life fighting phantoms, concentrating on myths and explaining over and over to the conqueror your language, your lifestyle, your history, your habits. And you donāt have to do it anymore. You can go ahead and talk straight to me.ā – Toni Morrison #tonimorrison #freeblackwoman #freeblackwomenslibrary
February 10, 2019 Praise Black Jesus!!!New Boondocks strips for 2019!!Thanks #aaronmcgruder #seungkim and @cthagodrepost from @cthagod #BoondocksBack The following message is from Aaron Mcgruder. āDid these for fun (and to see if I still could).
