Make a statement, wait and see who responds, how they respond and you will see the truth. Colin Kaepernick made a physical and verbal statement about the reality he and other people of color deal with on a daily basis and have dealt with since the 1500s and a lot of whites and some blacks have spoken against him. It doesn’t matter that he may have been racially profiled or know others who have. It doesn’t matter if he may have been mistreated by cops, talked down to by the whites he grew up around, has 20/20 vision and common sense and sees how the government treats people of color. Some people’s position is still, he should love the American flag and the country no matter how the country treats him or his people.

In all honesty I respect the opinion of those who feel that way. I don’t mind them being offended or even being outspoken. Hell they could rant every day for a year about it and it wouldn’t bother me a bit. What bothers me is when we, the oppressed, try to take time out of our lives to convince racist and house niggers not to be racist and house niggers.

I’m tired of our people making statements and then going on CNN to explain our position. I’m tired of our people having to justify why we speak about being mistreated. I’m tired of our people trying to provoke empathy and get those who are oppressing us to make our claims valid and agree with how we feel. For a lack of any better words, FUCK THEM!

It is not the job of the victim to show the offender they’re wrong; it is the job of the victim to make sure they will never be victims again. After the holocaust, the fake jews created a slogan: “NEVER AGAIN.” They didn’t attempt to change the minds of any Germans, they didn’t attempt to have a dialogue and get Germans to admit they were wrong. They didn’t explain why how they felt was right. They got allies, went to war and after the war was over, they built from within and attained their own power themselves.

We have been affected by white supremacy so deeply and have taken on Black inferiority so severely that we subconsciously believe our condition can only be changed if europeans agree they are treating us wrongly and stop. So we keep talking to them trying to show them racism. We keep trying to show them we’re being targeted, how laws are only being enforced on us, how there’s a difference between how police treat us etc. as if the perpetrators don’t know the offenses they’re perpetrating. For a lack of any better words, FUCK WHAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE!

Liberation is not achieved by convincing oppressors they are oppressing you; liberation is achieved by convincing all those who are oppressed that they are being oppressed. Our stagnation isn’t a result of europeans not being aware of what they’re doing, our stagnation is a result of us wasting our time talking to them instead of talking to our people about what we need to do to liberate ourselves.

As Kaepernick is receiving backlash for his comments, I hope and pray he doesn’t give his critics the time of day to explain why he feels the way he does. Not only him, I wish each of us would respond to racist being mad at us pointing out their racism with silence. Don’t try to make them see. Don’t try to make them understand. Don’t try to get them to agree that white privilege exist. Don’t show them their hypocrisy, their history or their duplicity. FUCK THEM!

They know exactly what’s going on. They know exactly what they’re doing, enabling and turning a blind eye to. Don’t let them make you think they don’t see racial disparity; that is a lie they use to continue to oppress you. Don’t speak to any european racist or any house negroes about racism; speak to your people about how to build within. Even in the bible, Jesus has very little dialogue with the synagogue leaders. His position was, if you want to act like you don’t know the truth, I’ll take the truth to the streets.

In like manner, if the government and europeans don’t want to acknowledge the truth we must take the truth to the streets. We must expose our people to how severe our oppression is. We must expose our people to methods of creating change. We must expose our people to the need for our liberation and their help in fighting for it. But by no means shall we waste time defending how we feel to the ones who are making us feel this way.

It is time for us to put europeans and their feelings in our rear view and only have our people and our liberation before us. We are at war and I have never heard of an army teaching their soldiers to be negotiators. Soldiers fight for freedom at all cost regardless as to how those they are fighting feel. The problem with our people is we don’t realize we’re in a war. We think we’re just victims of happenstance when the europeans know there are war and are fighting us daily. It’s we stand up and SOLELY fight for what we want and STOP trying to convince people to give it to us.

So as this criticism of Kaepernick continues, I hope he doesn’t explain his position at all but that he continues to take a stand. But most importantly, I hope each person of color does the same.  STOP TALKING AND LET’S BUILD!
