Discipline discourages perpetrators from continuing unwanted acts. Moreover, onlookers learn from the discipline of perpetrators and forgo committing similar unwanted acts as well

That’s been white supremacy’s story for millennia, has it not — Without Sanctuary? It was the very purpose of the public lynchings/murders of Black folk that continue up until this day (think of Mike Brown’s body left to lay in the street for hours for all the Black folk in the neighborhood to see). It is their M.O. for everyone — BUT themslves. And that is their GREATEST FEAR.

I’m on the fence somewhat about our “going low,” mainly because I don’t ever want to BE them — EVAH! However, I’m tired AS HAYELL of all of this BS!!! Is there a happy medium?? I say yes. Use their legal shit against them. Much as I hate guns (I got a Marksman ribbon in the Navy cuz well, competition!), I’m with Black folk like the Panthers, using the legality of the 2nd Amendment to protect them and theirs.

I was living in Charleston when Dylan Roof decided to go into a Bible Study and kill my people — who’d welcomed him in to fellowship. No, I.DO.NOT. GET.IT — probably because of a crisis of faith I had some time ago. My Black, used-to-be-Black-Baptist, used-to-be-Black-Catholic ass, DOES NOT BELIEVE IN WHITE JESUS!!

What do we do, Family? Be who we’ve always been — the thing that keeps us, not what they continuously expect us to be! That’s what’s gotten us here — keep it movin’!
