Really Not in a Teaching Mood, But...

...some people are really ignorant. Ignorance is defined as Lacking in Knowledge. So, I have every right to use the term. I keep seeing these well thought out & creative videos & pictures of people explaining racism & Black Lives Matters. I applaud the efforts, but in my opinion, some folks willfully want to be dumb. They also willfully want to be offended. They know why "Black Lives Matter" is being shouted. It doesn't need "Too" after it. They know All Live Matters but the Black ones are the ones that being focused on at this moment. Just like Black Lives know that when a black life takes another black life is a problem, also. Just like when other races take the life of someone of the same race.

In my opinion, some people don't want the education. I mean how long does it take to understand what "Taking a knee" really means. *sigh* Some of these people are the same folks who don't see "Can I touch your hair" is like petting another human like an animal. And to tell that same person their hair feels like sheep's wool or pubic hair is gross & hurtful, they don't get it. Some of these people don't want to understand saying they act blacker than a black person because the black person doesn't act like the stereotype that pop culture feeds society is dumb. And when snapped back at, they use the label, "Angry Black"_____. And speaking of stereotypes, some think it is complimentary to say "Well, you don't act like the others". Ask them what do they mean by "Others" and the answer is "Well, you know...".

Well, you know that's why I'm not in a teaching mood. I wasn't called an n-word until I was in college. But I was told versions of the aforementioned since I was a child.  My Black Life experience tells me some people already knew. But their privilege makes them blind to these factual lessons,
Black Feelings Matter & Black Emotions Matter. That's a task for some people to see the humanity in Black Lives. LoL Humanity, a word that contains the word Human. Let me know when some people see that in Black Lives. And that will be the day I know some people understand, Black Lives Matter.

And to those who understand, Thank You!!!
