They Expect Us To Forget
The narrative of the white man to himself and to others goes something like this.
Forget that we traveled across an ocean to the continent called Africa and purchased you, returning you here and putting you in chains as we enslaved you for life.
Forget that we raped, murdered, castrated, burned alive and lynched you just to please our inherently sadistic proclivities.
Forget all of the wealth that we obtained and the privilege and position that remains, and don’t expect that we will return all that was gained through your torment, torture, and subjugation.
Forget about redlining and segregation and Jim Crow and the refusal to give the nation healthcare as a way of denying you the ability to be healed.
Forget about stealing all of your inventions, the millions of acres of land that were yours, given to you by those that eventually had to free you.
Forget about sharecropping and all the agreements broken by greedy white men determined to keep all that they kill.
Forget about infusing our communities with drugs, terrorizing us with racist organizations roaming free about the the countryside, determined that we not go to the polls and vote for our own self-determination.
Forget about 40 acres and a mule.
Allow us the peace that we require to go about our white lives in comfort, without addressing the history that we created, that you remain living in today.
It’s all in the past and should be forgotten.
We’ve enriched ourselves beyond measure on the backs of the slaves that we stole and sold to one another.
We murdered, we raped, we lied and we stole.
And all of that should be forgotten and you as black people should be able to rise above it all as we continue our sabotage and your subjugation.
Forget about us putting your towns underwater or firebombing them from the air as we looked on at your attempt at creating generational wealth so that you and your children might not be impoverished.
We as white people couldn’t stand to see black people doing well, and so are insecurities and ego drove us to destroy your communities as they thrived.
Forget all of the things that are factual and allow us to weave false narrative that makes us feel comfortable.
Let us make you a threat, and a criminally inclined sector of American society, as we deny your now impoverished communities all of the funding needed to pull you up by your bootstraps, and make you productive citizens within the country that we enslaved your ancestors.
Instead we’ll invite you to leave if you don’t like the circumstances we created for you, your destination being unknown, because we’ve destroyed all of the records that may have proven where you come from and your origins.
This is the narrative that white people tell themselves and tell to Negroes as they urge us to move on from the history they created for themselves and for us.
They are a disingenuous lying, thieving, murderous group of reprobate rapists and pedophiles.
They’re historically vile and contemptuous in every circumstance and at every turn.
They don’t honor their agreements, and have broken every treaty with every group of people that they have ever signed.
They refuse to look at themselves honestly and openly, and expect that black people in particular simply forget all that has gone into the circumstances that they have the audacity to wag their wrinkled white fingers in our face about, while bragging on their historical handiwork.
They are the principal cause of our current conditions, and as they look upon us and complain that we’re not pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, it escapes their notice that it is them that has set the tone and the stage upon which we now stand.
However, soon there will be a correction and a reckoning as a recompense is beckoning that will soon come knocking at their door, and they will be brought to heel and held accountable and be reminded of all that they’ve done and all that they’ve gained and they will lose every last bit of holdings that they maintain.
They don’t deserve anything that they have, as they have never attempted to make things right with the people who were tormented and tortured to give them the life they now live.
We will not forget.
It will all be remembered.
Expect that.
