Maybe Blacks would “get over it” if Whites hadn’t systematically destroyed the history and mental health of Blacks in the Carribean, Americas, and Africa. If they had treated us as property and then second class citizens. If they had not colonized and raped Africa of its natural resources while giving nothin but illiteracy, malnutrition, and poverty back. If America was designed around the racist thought that Black was the antithesis of White. If they had brainwashed Blacks for generations to the point where distrust and hate ourselves. If they did not systematically take everything from Blacks and work to keep Blacks in poverty or at least on the bottom of their racial hierarchy. Maybe if every Black man wasn’t born with a jail cell ready for them. Maybe if Whites didn’t stereotype all Black men as having big dicks, being aggressive, unintelligent, and criminal. Maybe if Whites didn’t perpetuate the stereotype that Black women where only good for sex, entertainment, and being mammies.

So never mind that Hitler systematically killed Blacks too (oh but that unimportant right) and that Blacks worked in the World Trade Centers, let’s focus on CENTURIES of White oppression on Blacks around the world because if Blacks aren’t at the bottom, Whites cannot be at the top. So how can I get over something that I have to face every single day? Oh, but I forgot, Whites don’t live in the same world that we Blacks do and they don’t see how racist the institutions of America are not do they care to see it. So let’s just get over it. We’ll get over Slavery and Colonization when you get over your Whiteness and the supremecy there of.
