Black Folks are MIA

Real Talk 

Black Americans are MIA at protests across the nation against Trump’s racist targeting of Hispanics in his deportation war .. Politics and fears have all Americans in a state of anxiety and fragility in fact the world seems like it is on fire 

The reasons for the fears and tensions in America are driven by Trump and MAGA primarily with this reality there is also the emotional and the history between Black folks and Hispanics that have existed sometimes  latent sometimes not Yet they have exploded many times  which happens a lot in our penal and correctional facilities where Black and Hispanic folks are the primary residents 

So now What?

Of course during the Civil Rights Era up to BLM protests the overwhelming of Hispanics were also MIA fact is we have shared historical experiences good, bad and ugly

This particular American episode  has the overwhelming Black Folks with a belief that this chapter of  domestic uncivil war is largely between White Folks and Hispanics as well as issues around employment opportunities, unions , scabs, colorism, language which have Black folks on the sidelines 

So now What?

Black Folks in truth have centuries old civil rights fatigue as a distinct minority in America our fate and experiences have been endless tales of oppression and deprivation inside and outside of Black America driven by White Folks and their fixation on White Supremacy and all of its iterations and derivatives 

White Racism and Bigotry now  has been emboldened by Trump and MAGA and for many Black Folks we gotta stay focused to that war while suffering from our own shortcomings and missteps and cultural pathologies that are ours and ours alone

Perhaps it is long overdue for Hispanics , Asians, Transgenders, Seniors, Gen  XYZ to get in the ring 

So now What?
