Cuz He’s Black
Posted by Michelle Moquin on December 2nd, 2013
Good morning!
I saw this for the first time the other day. I didn’t know what I was about to watch. This is one of those moments where your heartstrings are pulled and…well I was moved to tears.
If You Have To Tell Your Kids This Stuff, Then You Probably Aren’t A White Person
Javon Johnson – “cuz he’s black” (NPS 2013)
According to the U.S. Census, 63% of Americans are white. Which means 37% of our country probably at some point has to deal with this horrifying fact. At two minutes in, he nails it.

Readers: We have no idea what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes until you put yourself there. If we did that more often, we would experience more compassion and love for our fellow humans, and HOPEfully change they way we treat each other.
Blog me.
Peace & love.

Thats a powerful Poetry slam vid…disturbing on every level. And sad that it’s so true.
This is for the women of MM blog (though it’d be even more beneficial to you dudes out there, too, bc we all need to challenge our beliefs, actions and thoughts in order to evolve):

I am a space traveler.
I wake to the noise of stars
Illuminating the dark
Till it is a kaleidoscope of colors across the horizon
Until a planet breaks through that offers hope of life
My job – to identify and to judge whether hostile or friendly
So rising slowly so as not to affront the Helms guides
I review once again the charts and their history.
I smile, this one is friendly, I think.
Standing in my breaths response
watching the seconds
Through the universe
Dance upon the planet below
I dream.

I would love to be on the other end of one of your calls with Michelle Zen Lill. Bet the sex talk is explosive.

Me, I’m still wondering if Howie will ever return with some juicy Alien info.

I am a white woman with a black son. The shame is that it is so true and most white people deny it.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:10 am
Michelle, Considering that’s blacks make up the majority of those on social welfare it makes the premise of your article comical at best. Oh and fyi a BLACK man was the first to own a slave in America look it up so in other words…fuq you, but have a nice day

Three black students waiting for bus arrested after cops order them to ‘disperse’
Three African-American students who were waiting for a school bus in Rochester, New York were arrested on Wednesday morning when police officer told them to “disperse,” even though witnesses said they did nothing wrong.
According to WROC, basketball coach Jacob Scott had arranged for a school bus to pick up the boys to take them to a scrimmage on a day when school was closed.
A police report claimed that the boys were blocking “pedestrian traffic while standing on a public sidewalk…preventing free passage of citizens walking by and attempting to enter and exit a store…Your complainant gave several lawful clear and concise orders for the group to disperse and leave the area without complaince [sic].”
But the students and the coach dispute the police version of events.
“We didn’t do nothing,” student Raliek Redd explained. “We was just trying to go to our scrimmage.”
“We was just waiting for our bus and he started arrested us,” student Wan’Tauhjs Weathers added.
Daequon Carelock, who was also arrested, lamented that anyone could be “just downtown, minding your own business, and next thing you know, anything can happen.”
Coach Scott arrived just as the boys were being handcuffed and was also threatened with arrest.
“He goes on to say, ‘If you don’t disperse, you’re going to get booked as well,’” Scott recalled. “I said, ‘Sir, I’m the adult. I’m their varsity basketball coach. How can you book me? What am I doing wrong? Matter of fact, what are these guys doing wrong?’”
“One of the police officers actually told me, if he had a big enough caravan, he would take all of us downtown,” he noted.
Scott called the incident a “catastrophe” for the boys and witnesses who were traumatized by the arrest.
“These young men were doing nothing wrong, nothing wrong. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and still they get arrested,” Scott remarked. “I’m speaking to the officers with dignity…and still and yet – they see me get treated like nothing.”
Rochester school board member Mary Adams expressed her outrage at the arraignment last week.
“I think the charges should be immediately dropped and I think the district attorney’s office should be stepping in and looking at these kinds of matters,” she said.
“I’m very concerned about a pattern of young people being abused by police authority,” Adams told WHEC. “To me, this seems like a really clear case, part of a pattern.”
A trial for the three students is scheduled for December 11.
fuck the police

Wrong John#7, just more lies. The Economix blog at the New York Times reported the following in February of last year:
Another finding of the study is that the distribution of benefits no longer aligns with the demography of poverty. African-Americans, who make up 22 percent of the poor, receive 14 percent of government benefits, close to their 12 percent population share.
White, non-Hispanics, who make up 42 percent of the poor, receive 69 percent of government benefits – again, much closer to their 64 percent population share.
Read that again. John#7; It says blacks comprise 22 percent of the poor, but blacks only take in 14 percent of government benefits. Conversely, whites make up 42 percent of the poor , but take in a disproportionate 69 percent of government benefits.

I happened to stumble across this article. Perhaps I can add a different perspective. I was born in 1953. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago in a mixed racial neighborhood. From the minute I was born I was told by teachers and others how bad my race had mistreated the black race.
Yet, I personally saw no abuse of blacks growing up. But this is what I experienced: I was held up by blacks twice, once at gun point, the other time with a knife. I was beat up by a gang of blacks. My bicycle was stole by blacks. A black teenager broke into our house and stole my mother’s wedding ring.
My friend was beat up by a gang of blacks, and needed more than a hundred stitches in his face. That was after they broke into a dance we were having and started tearing the place apart. In my neighborhood, we were scared to death of blacks. Most carried knifes. In eight grade a black boy tried to get me to smoke dope… and I never even heard of it.
Now, I’m not prejudice, and believe it not, I never was. Yet, this is my experience. I’m still told how bad us whites are, with articles like this, and I still have not personally seen it. There are two sides to every story, always.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:26 am
There are no means available or mentioned within this article which would allow anyone to bring the mass of society to heel and force them to listen to a one sided lecture or adopt the personal viewpoints of a few as Gospel. And there never will be.

I hear what the author is saying. I am a white father of two beautiful half black daughters, and one son. I understand what you are saying here.

When black people stop supporting “White supremacy” in all its guises then its going to be good night Irene to their created world. All its going to take is love. Its going to take love of oneself. That is what black people are here to learn. Despite all the lies that white folks tell about us, we have to learn to love ourselves. When we do the system of white supremacy will come crashing down with a thud!
So lets see now a few white supremacy systems we need to ditch like yesterday:
1. the white Jesus:
you shoved that down our throats and the only thing we got out of it was more self hatred. Turned out it was all our stuff in the first place only repackage by the white supremacy system that took out the black woman and put in the white man to be worship. That was our first big mistake;
2. White supremacy medical system:
A bunch of bull sh…. if there ever was one. Liberation can only come when we realize that a white man in a white coat doesn’t know zilch about how to be healthy. All they know is disease care, faking and fronting like they know , when they don’t know squat. Ok , I got five minutes doc. tell me everything you know about how to be healthy. And thanks but no thanks for all that white powder drugs and pills you got;
3 White teachers:
When I was in High school ALL of my teachers were white! what’s up with that? Guess what happens to young black hormonal boys when all their teachers are white ( white women in fact)? And what did they have to teach us?? Nothing about ourselves that is for sure. To hear them tell it white people did everything and black people were just ignorant savages. Well it turns out that was the biggest lie ever told, because when white people were in caves we were living in houses. So we know who the real savages are;
4 White food:
Yeah if you like to be constipated for life. Just say no to white sugar, white rice, white flour , white milk. White Jesus > white doctors > white teachers > White food. The big four betrayers of black love, health and happiness

DT#10, your tale is the typical one told like the “the first slave owned was by a black man in America.” As if it WERE true, that justifies 200 plus years of whites enslaving blacks.
You probably have never even met a black person, criminally or otherwise.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:38 am
DT, that is a clever ObamaCares horror story worked to give a personal approach. Bet you never met one black person.

I love niggers.

“When are we going to have a ‘town hall on racism’ that addresses how a jury of women, predominantly white women (and mothers!), don’t identify with a black child?”
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:41 am
Ian, GET A LIFE YOU RACIST IDIOT.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:42 am
Abe, how about when those nigger children start acting like human beings.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:44 am
Most of this racial animosity between blacks and whites are started and perpetuated by jews. Their escape of the final solution by Hitler is the bane of the planet.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:46 am
I AM BOYCOTTING THIS BLOG, WRITING A LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMAN, AND REPORTING YOU, MICHELLE TO THE BBB!!!! I’M GOING TO SHUT THIS ARTICLE AND WEBSITE DOWN TO THE GROUND!!!!!
Who do you jews, and nigger lovers think you are?
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:49 am
Willis, Awww did the black man scare you? Too bad, that is okay. We have had enough of your racist kind and there is nothing you can do to stop us from kicking you to the curb.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:53 am
Zimmerman was a fucking jew dog. A hispanic jew kills a black and you try and talk about white people? F*ck you. Sorry your IQ is too low to understand both jewish media dpin and law.
Get your head out of your azz and look at the facts. Ps. Blacks are the ones who commit the most crimes.. how about the every f-ing day violence and crime from your race? If you wanna talk truth.. fix your problems.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:54 am
This blog is entirely racist. Just read this bs. How dare u make a blog making the Caucasian people seem so ” evil” and racist. What a bunch of Bullshit.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:55 am
Claude, we are fixing our problems all right, by getting rid of white supremacy first thing.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:57 am
I’m talking to you June number 13. You’re either a really lazy and sloppy thinker, or you’re a racist. Choose
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:58 am
This blog is an example of a classic case of self-righteous niggers.
December 3rd, 2013 at 11:59 am
Ditto Dan, I’m sure giving rednecks et al with itchy trigger-fingers an excuse will work out well.
December 3rd, 2013 at 12:01 pm
My people were enslaved for over 400 years, but we don’t use it as a crutch or excuse. We’ve moved on and African Americans should do the same.
December 3rd, 2013 at 12:28 pm
Did you ever think about the India race?
It was the white man who took his place
They killed the buffalo and took a stand,
The the Indian was driven fron his land.
For many years these hills, he did roam,
America was the Indians home.
This palace wasn’t called Ameria then,
But it was home to the women and men.
I feel that it’s wrong to push them aside,
The Indian race still has great pride.
They only killed buffalo for something to eat,
And used the skin to makd mossaciss for their feet.
Their clothes too, were made of skin,
As well as the wigwam they lived in.
The redskins are another race,
But in Aerica they should have their place.
This land is big enough for all to share,
Let’s remember the Indians in our prayer.
Now I’m white and proud to be,
But perhaps there’s a little Indian blood in me.
December 3rd, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Fuck jews like you Zed. You think you can suck up to us and marry our sisters and bring mud people into our race?
There will be new ovens built for you.
December 3rd, 2013 at 12:37 pm
Jean, if you were truly proud to be white, you wouldn’t be kissing red ass. We won enough said.
