Here We Go Again!!! White People Flexing Their White Privilege

St.James Project

On this episode of The St.James Project...I like many other black Americans am frustrated!!! The day-to-day racism that we deal with in our everyday lives continues to add to our woes collectively. Every day you read about it, see on the news, social how a black man or woman has come under attack in some way. Whether it"s being harassed by the police, racially profiled, being told to ID ourselves to a random white person, and them using 911 likes it a customer service line.

Where do we go from here?? It's time to take our destiny into our hands and stop the madness. Recently, I saw the movie "Panther" directed by Mario Van Peebles on Youtube. If you haven't had the chance to check it out please do so. Dr. Huey P. Newton was a "badass." He took upon himself to learn the laws and essentially became a threat to the police. Knowledge is POWER, knowing when to apply that knowledge is WISDOM. In one of his quotes, Dr. Newton stated that "ignorance & inertia" was the greatest enemy to our people. I would like to add that "infighting" is what is hurting us right at this moment. We've got to stop being passive but stay dogmatic and relentless in our protests...otherwise, we will continue to see many more Christopher Cooper, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, just to name a few types of situations. We all have a part to play in our healing, development and moving forward. The time is now.
