I’ve thought about this (Black America’s forgiving nature) a lot in recent years. The truth is, WE descendants of Slaves have continued to love this country…and give our ALL to, and for, this country. All the while knowing that this country has NEVER loved Us back.  

And yet, some white Americans have the nerve to be upset because this year, in 2020, Americans (of ALL races) all across this land finally state boldly that “YES. Black Lives Matter” too..!?!

Well guess what? I’m not going to give those white folks the satisfaction of thinking that I give a fig. 

Because honestly, I don’t. 

The truth is, most White Americans know EXACTLY what “Black Lives Matter” means. They haven’t bought into OR are confused about it at all. They know darn well We’re NOT saying Black lives are more important than others. So let’s STOP giving them cover. 

All throughout the history of America WE (Black Americans) have allowed White Americans to get away with Pretending they don’t know the Truth about the actual Black experience in this country (the relentless injustices, inequalities and violence) WE have been subjected too and had to endure for almost 400 years now. And all throughout American history ALL of that Evil has done tremendous damage to them and incalculable harm to (and wreaked havoc on) Us, in every way imaginable and unimaginable.  

Btw DJ- I thank you, as always, for putting up with Me and allowing me, and your other readers to have such an open and honest discussions about anything, especially serious topics such as this.
