Sensitive compassion & tactfulness are not often offered as continued waves of heartbreaking things occur within the African descent/ Black community. Police killing after police killing, act of white supremacy terror after act of white supremacy terror, & this community's times of mourning are deemed less important by the media or by the public, than things that affect non-Black people. The insulting Blackface imitation & all it's modern day variations including appropriation of Black slang, Black culture , the Black lived experience in general, continues as much as the slaughter & discrimination against people who are actually Black. Both Kosha Dillz's appropriation & ableism are anti-Black, & are carried out by a caucasian Jewish guy who is treated somewhat better by the mental health system. Instead of using his social media to look into the subject matters of e.g. casual racism, sexism, & ableism, ( or instead, liking posts on accounts he could be following that are geared toward these subjects) he was liking a selfie of a Black woman's face, connected to a Black woman's entire body, which is so heavily exploited..fetishized.. brutalized.. by the orchestrators of the very white supremacy that celebrates him. 

I began discovering online that paranoia & brainwashing are real aspects of mental health that are commonly changed inaccurately outside of their medical meaning. When I expressed myself to Kosha Dillz about his continual cultural incompetence, the gist of what I was met with was the casually racist mental health stigma "You are just being paranoid & brainwashed by PC culture".

Too typical 😔@Regran_ed from - @police.brutality.matters ・・・ Police officer admits to stopping a black man because he looked at him. 🤔WOW!!!! . Does anyone know if looking at a police officer is PC (probably cause) to be stopped? Let’s talk about it. Would love to hear from my bad policing supporters. Please come up with another deflection besides the same old “black on black” crime in Chicago as a reason why we shouldn’t be having a conversation about bad policing!! Lets get it!! .

‘[He] wasn’t roaring; [he] was weeping’

How Looky-Loos can save the day One of my earliest memories of my father was of his acerbic tirade against looky-loos at a bad car accident on the foreshore in Cape Town. I think we were returning from the circus (this was back in the days before the elevated freeway was built near the docks on the reclaimed land) and the night was a kaleidoscope of flashing emergency vehicles, which mesmerized…

Excerpt From the Story: For many black Americans, going to the bank can be a fraught experience. Something as simple as trying to cash a check or open a bank account can lead to suspicious employees summoning the police, causing anxiety and fear — and sometimes even physical danger — for the accused customers.......#bankingwhileblack . . I photographed Clarice Middleton for The New York Times for a piece that discussed her difficulties banking as a Black American and her run in with Wells Fargo. I recommend reading about this troubling matter.

#Repost @living.while.black ・・・ Thoughts??? Is it time to stop expecting the police to solve issues like the mental health crisis and drug addiction? Should social workers and community workers be called to address these issues? #LivingWhileBlack #WhileBlack #GeorgeFloyd #PoliceAccountability #policethepolice #PoliceBrutality #EndPoliceTerrorAgainstBLACKpeople #EndPoliceTerrorism #EndPoliceTerror #video #BlackPeople #protests2020 #BLM #BlackLivesMatter #BlackLoveMatters #BlackLove #BlackMen #BlackWomen #BlackFamilies #BlackExcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CBPCAIpJNQI/?igshid=j9a6vsgm68ct

Please look through the #WhileBlack hashtag on Twitter. I think it’s important to share our stories.

One night when I was around 12yrs old, two police cars rushed up on me and stopped me while I was riding my bicycle home from a part time job. The police said they stopped me because, in their words, as “a young black male,” I fit the description of a burglar who had broken into a house earlier that night. It was late, but there were literally dozens of other kids riding their bikes through the neighborhood, but I was the only black kid. The cops roughed me up a little and held me until the homeowner arrived in the back of another cruiser. A white woman. I could hear her yelling at the police, “No, I said he was A WHITE MAN.” Turned out that the only description I matched was we were both wearing blue jeans. Other than that, I don’t see how I possibly could have matched the description of someone who I later learned was a much older, short, blonde-haired, blue eyed white man. I was his exact opposite in every possible way. Obviously, there was no way I met his description. The police used “police work” and deduced that the only black kid riding through a white neighborhood must have been guilty of something.

That was the night I finally realized that everything my parents told me about the police---every warning from their repeated black-parent-talks---was all true.

Even when the police are called on white people, black people still aren’t safe.

Looking back, I’m lucky to be alive. I got home trembling, angry and sad all at the same time, but I never told my mom about that night until a few years ago. It happened almost 20yrs ago, but when I told my mom she started crying as if it happened to me yesterday. That’s the first “While Black” experience that popped into my memory, but there are more.

Anyway, please look through the #WhileBlack hashtag on Twitter. I think it’s important to share our stories.
