 Parable of shooting down white folks stupid shit

"The white man at best is corny! Anything he says we have the superior intelligence

to shoot it down in a nano-second and we must do so without hesitation."--Amiri Baraka

Imagine, white folks are aghast at Critical Race Theory. Who cares? They are abhorred that their children can be subjected to a theory the white race can be pronounced as devils. Now, a theory may be proven wrong in the final analysis, but please tell me how many decades, no, centuries were black children subjected to white supremacy public school education that dehumanized them, reduced them to slaves and virtual slaves? In my high school civics class, when we were shown a film of us picking cotton I dropped my head in shame. After all, living in the Central Valley of California, I didn't need a film on cotton picking. There was more cotton in California than Mississippi. My great grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, mother and uncles picked their share as I did as well, How else did I and my friends buy school clothes except for cotton, cutting grapes and pitching watermelons? Did I need a film to remind me of our labor under the sun? Did I need a civics lesson the remind me we had to stop pitching watermelons at noon because the sun was too hot in Bakersfield?

My musician friends hear whites playing jazz and wonder at the source of their trauma that caused blacks to create jazz. They wonder when were whites in the cotton, cane and rise fields to suffer their souls to create jazz and blues? When were they lynched, tarred and feathered, labored from can't see to can't see to claim their ID card in the sacred world of jazz and blues?

So in their total rejection of the historical facts endemic to Critical Race Theory, even the most Miller Lite notion that white supremacy is pervasive, thus systemic in every institution of Americana, as if a system of slavey can be devoid of the ideology of free labor, yes, while a society pronounces democratic ideals in the foundation of its constitution. Opponents of Critical Race Theory wish to hide the plain facts that their champion of democratic ideals simultaneously maintained a love relationship with his favored slave child, Sally, and kept her in a room adjacent to his without sunlight while she sired six children for him. Yes, white supremacist opponents of Critical Race Theory wish to delete this wretched but critical fact of American history from the tender ears of their children, just as they suppressed the genocide of Black Wall Street for 100 years. 

Please tell us what facts of American history you wish your darling children to know? Should they know of slave revolts? Should they know that the slave auction was every New Year's Day, the most dreaded day in the life of North American African victims of the American slave system (Ed Howard term, Oakland, CA)?

Dear White Folks, what exactly is your version of American history that deconstructs the 1619 narrative? In all honestly, can you present a version of American history that excludes the narrative of the natives, the aboriginals, the kidnapped Africans, or shall we only hear the slave master's song of how he civilized the natives and graced them with the holy blessings of the blue-eyed blond savior Jesus Christ?

If you persist in your denial of the narrative of, by and for the oppressed, that you do not wish your children to hear, just know the day shall come when your children shall accept truth as truth and deny your narrative as a pact of lies fit for the dustbin of history, and they shall reject you as well for your sins to accumulate capital, an exercise they come to deem worthless and totally without any iota of moral quality.
