TEACHABLE MOMENT: America, There is NO such thing as “WhiteFace” just like there is no such thing as “Reverse Racism”. BlackFace and Racism are rooted in and are byproducts of the Institutionalized Oppression of a subjugated people. The racist and severely damaging “Jim Crow laws” received its name from the BLackface minstrel movement of the 19th century and proceeds to cause pain to this day. A constant reminder that People of color are looked at as second class citizens in this country. Now when you look up the standard definition of “Whiteface” all you will find is an elite Ski Resort in Upstate NY. This is not a Tit-for-Tat argument. These are FACTS. These recent revealings of people painting themselves black or brown and speaking in broken slang in an attempt to be humorous or have fun; as if our culture is some sort of party trick or costume is unacceptable. Along with @Gucci @Prada @Moncler and any other companies or corporations who wish to exploit our pain. Racism is when an “elite” group uses its systemic power to enforce harm, hardship, and pain on others. If you don’t understand this, then it probably means you are or benefit from that elite group of privileged oppressors that we speak of. ROUND 1 goes to : THE CULTURE ✊🏾 Holla at me!!!

#SpokenSundays The Back of the Bus Theory Now before you judge, just hear me I never wanted to sit in the front in the first place I rather run and come in first place, in my race Matter of fact, I rather walk at my pace And make them passengers catch up to me While they debating on who had the best seat 50 years later I’m contemplating on buying every bus company in Montgomery So I thank my ancestors for being the real Ruff Ryders But now it’s time for us to be the bus drivers What they did is sacrifice, so we can be providers So picture me rollin’ And we couldn’t have done none of it without: Rosa Parks or Claudette Colvin Oh for sure, our history is our true tokens And now we can be free, open and outspoken It’s about not forgetting where you come from But more importantly you gotta know where you’re going So when it comes to the back of the bus theory I’mma step I believe Dr. King said it best My feet may be tired but my soul is at rest

The Back of the Bus Theory
Now earlier than you decide, simply hear me
I by no means needed to take a seat within the entrance within the first place
I somewhat run and are available first place, in my race
Matter of reality, I somewhat stroll at my tempo
And make them passengers catch as much as me
While they debating on who had the perfect seat
50 years later I’m considering on shopping for each bus firm in Montgomery
So I thank my ancestors for being the true Ruff Ryders
But now it’s time for us to be the bus drivers
What they did is sacrifice, so we may be suppliers
So image me rollin’
And we couldn’t have accomplished none of it with out:
Rosa Parks or Claudette Colvin
Oh for certain, our historical past is our true tokens
And now we may be free, open and outspoken
It’s about not forgetting the place you come from
But extra importantly you gotta know the place you’re going
So in the case of the again of the bus principle
I’mma step
I consider Dr. King stated it finest
My toes could also be drained however my soul is at relaxation

Now that is the form of Black History Month content material we look ahead to!
