Who Shook the Jar?

Are you tired of thinking in Caveman mentality? Cave people had minimal options, and life was about simple survival. We humans didn’t know what all we were missing until some snake oil salesman, aka government, politician, aka media representative, aka social elite, aka the church told us we were missing the things we never thought of. Let me know when you’re tired of being lied to by so many influential people around you. Oh no, I’m talking about our family, friends, the church, and those we envy. I don’t care how close the person is that’s been delivering those ignorant messages of hate division. They are wrong. Yes, your wrinkled dust coughing, grandparents, uncle, aunt, father, or mother are just dead wrong.

Since so many, especially in North America, trust information that comes from tainted lips. A favorite father of revered literature, Mark Twain, aka Samuel Clemens, was quoted saying, “If you collect one hundred black ants and one hundred fire ants and put them in a jar.” (The block, neighborhood, high-rise apartment, hood, city…) Nothing will happen. They will continue to live and prosper. However, if you take the jar and shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other. The Red ants believe the Black ant is the enemy, and the Black ant believes it’s the Red ant. When the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. (The government, media, financial mogul, the church, broken families).

Yes, many non-black families have benefited in one form or another of this programmed hatred. Yet I believe they have been their very own worst enemies from progression. The same goes for the modern black community, yes every single law in North America is written to provide for those that look like the original thieves of humanity; yet that doesn’t give the black community a right to stop fighting for those same claimed rights taken by others. Every other group is heralded as deserving when they fight for white rights except the black community. With them, it’s, can’t you people show more patience and let us more deserving humans figure out in the next never-month when to make you all whole. 

The same is true in society, men versus women, black versus white, young versus old, science versus faith, gay versus straight, etc… Before we continue to fight each other, we must ask ourselves, who shook the jar? For example, despite the fact that the vast majority of white people have never had one-single negative encounter with any minority; yet believe in the brokenness out of the mouths from someone that looks like them. Maybe it’s because the all-powerful media refuses to make any statements of white-on-white crimes? How long are you going to allow yourself to be lied to by anyone; especially those who claim to love you? If someone is proud of what they’ve actually done, there’s no need to hide it. We all allow our unproven governments with families and unaccountable passes for failing us year-after-year; all while having the audacity to gaslighting us into providing them with more control as we fight for the illusions (MMA, aka the Roman Coliseum, sports aka Olympian distractions, public torture aka the church, and distant violence because what if it happens to you!)

It’s long overdue to demand for a reform. Let’s start by demanding accountability for those who will the pen, for the humanity they’ve killed with the very same said pen. Many physical wounds will scab and heal. But the power of selfish/evil words can create generations of bigotry, hate, and countless lives lost. Not to mention the souls if any still exist.
