Year after year, a black person in the public spotlight, and who has experienced a public Maafa Racism attack, continues to excuse the racism. The last one of note was Coco Gauff. This includes those who capitulate, tuck tail and apologize after spitting truth about Israel.
Most recently it is Dawn Staley who is much older than Coco and who most certainly encounters subtle and explicit acts of Maafa Racism on the regular.
Dawn's reconciliation statement with Geno is BS and is another example of severe shortsightedness when Maafa Racism is taking place. She excused Racism and accepted the secondary disrespect in Geno's so-called apology.
I will move on from Staley and Geno.
Once again we have a black person acting like it's about them rather than the black collective and human decency. Maafa Racism is constant and is no not never ever about one incident or one person.
We must not support the racists or the excusers or the sidesteppers.
It's a ridiculous notion for any sane or honest person to suggest or think that black people can move on from Maafa Racism when Maafa Racism follows us, seeks us out, attacks incessantly and never repairs the harms.
Shielding racists does not shield you from racism or gain you any meritorious manumission points.All black folks who have ever excused Maafa Racism continue to experience numerous racists attacks. This includes Venus, Serena, Tiger, Obama, Coco, Staley, Nick Cannon and numerous others, some of whom have been discussed before. And when it happens to them after we the black collective have rallied on their (our) behalf, and they essentially tell us to move on, or it didn't happen, or it's not as bad, then I have no more energy for those individuals who choose to put their individualness before their collectiveness have essentially resigned their self-respect in deference to those who hate them more deeply than the abyss.
And to all black people on social media platforms, don't talk about unless you're going to do so truthfully, unapologetically and call Maafa Racism by it's proper name.
