America Is Racism and Racism Is American

If truth is anger, then let the fire speak. Because what they call rage is really the sound of history demanding its justice.

Throughout its history, America has constantly shown its true hatred – but like fashion, it changes the delivery when the conscience gets too heavy.

To start at the beginning, a pale group of people convinced themselves they were better than the slums from which they came in Europe – Ireland and such. These unbathed barbarians sailed across treacherous seas hoping for better. Why? Because their white supremacy didn’t add up to much in their own homelands.

They finally made it to shore, witnessing a prosperous Native Black group across the world, thriving off the land once called Turtle Island, known today as North America. These self-made kings and queens didn’t come here to join the community, nor to be laborers. They felt so divine – the identical image of their god – they decided to rape, murder, and enslave anyone who didn’t look like them, especially those who had already built a thriving life before white colonizers.

Unfortunately, they realized later that to thrive here, you must be one with the land and work it seasonally. Afterwards, these self-revered men and women created fake treaties after enacting multiple genocides against the Indigenous people – and renamed the majority of the survivors as Black people. Then they wrote laws calling them nonhuman and therefore property.

They felt so superior they needed to ensure such a head start that centuries later, the enslaved would still have no way of catching up to living standards of equality. They were so afraid of those they tricked and enslaved that they made education illegal. They made speaking native tongues illegal. They made teaching our history and our land illegal.

But that still didn’t make the pale invaders confident. So they created a lie told across the world – that Black is criminal, Black is scary, Black is angry, Black is untrustworthy. But the so-called pure-of-heart, sunscreen human – the one who committed worldwide atrocities – was deemed the most trustworthy person alive. Their crimes were excused; our existence was criminalized.

They were so afraid of accountability, they made laws specifically to protect white supremacy and others to continually enslave Blackness. We, the Black community, became their footstools of comfort, the floor mats for their deeds, the sexual objects of what they didn’t want to do to their partners. We became their entertainment.

Centuries later, we’ve fought our way out of the fields – but not from their mental chains. They have broken so much of our DNA that many no longer rock the boat. Too many of our children are guided by broken parents, taught to push their children into the entertainment industry instead of self-employment realities.

A few of us are rewarded with large checks, as long as we don’t speak against the masters of hatred – and as long as we verbally punish our own.

And yet, they still call our truth anger. But if we were truly angry – if centuries of terror, rape, lynching, and lies had actually turned us into what they claim – there would be few white people left on Earth. The fact that we still create, still love, still nurture, still build community, is proof that we are the most disciplined, forgiving, and spiritually advanced people breathing on this soil. What they call anger is accountability. What they fear ice our awakening.

Through centuries of experiments, it’s been proven that it’s easier to heal a broken body than a broken mind.

Today, there’s visible evidence of America’s hatred. The new Klan division – ICE – does the job of hatred in broad daylight. Why? Because the descendants of colonizers have chosen foreigners as America’s newest threat. Yet, as history repeats itself, non-Black foreigners are rarely part of that equation – nor are the members of government who reward themselves by routinely failing forward and living above citizens as kings and queens.

America doesn’t need new laws, nor think tanks. She needs accountability and equality for one’s own actions – without the built-in protections of the sunscreen immunity clause.

Until then, America will remain what she has always been:

Racism wearing a flag.

A Question for the Reader

I would like to challenge you – the reader – with pure honesty.

If you were only given the details of repetitive actions, the deliverers, the recipients, the attitude, and the disrespect broadcasted on national platforms – but not the person’s name or ethnicity – would you still believe the same narrative?

Would you still know who the “criminals” are and who the “victims” are, based only on the facts and not your eyes or your familiarity?

Now… what does that tell you?

How many people would still be paid politicians?

Police officers?

School teachers?

News anchors?

Sport analysts?

Talk show hosts?

Coaches?

How many would be exposed for false paternity, false accusations, and false authority?

And most importantly – how many people, currently enjoying their passes and freedoms, would be incarcerated for what they’ve gotten away with thus far?
