"I'm White but... I want to help end systemic racism" (391 hits)
I know it’s a sista somewhere that seen that pic and thought, “Um..No he didn’t..” I can see your eyes rolling, your shoulder roll and one arm on a beautifully curved hip… Babygirl, I want you to know that it wasn’t easy coming up with that pic, I had to play with it for a minute with the ai generator and editing. I had to trick the machine into making the woman white… if that’s any consolation.
But here’s what I want you to understand baby… I been talking about Planetary Chess for 2 whole years now. I’ve mostly been talking to black folks. Planetary Chess is for black folks. Would you like to know how many books I’ve sold? The book is only .99 cents on amazon. I’ve probably sold 10 and I only get .34 from each book. If there was some analytics on my Facebook, the place I have the most “friends”, it would tell you that less .5% of my Planetary Chess posts was “liked”. I think my closest friends and family like my posts sometimes just so it has at least one like on it!
I have about 3400 friends on that joint baby. I have friends that are affiliated with the NAACP & the Urban League. I have friends that are educators and activists. I have friends that incubate startups. I have friends that are professional athletes and big shot lawyers. I think it’s safe to say that you and 99.5% my social network don’t give af about ending systemic racism. I say that, based on the facts. I’m sure it can change at any moment but that’s the way it’s been ya know? Maybe it was just bad marketing on my end. Maybe I don’t understand my audience..or maybe they just don’t like or trust me.
Well sweetheart, that changed a few months ago. Not from black folks but from white folks..as it turns out, white folks call what I’m doing, the good white folks anyway.. they say, “oh, he’s a thought leader in social tech.”
About 6 months ago, I started really studying this ai stuff. Anyone who knows me, knows that I’ve been a nerd since the late 80’s. I’m a big knowledge junkie. So, along with studying ai.. I also began learning how public relations work. I played with these two subjects for months until I landed an interview in Authority Magazine. A white gentleman recognized Planetary Chess due to my research process.
I kept tweaking the process, I didn’t realize I had stumbled upon something yet until I landed my next bit of media attention.. A news station in Australia of all places, asked to speak with me, on live tv! Since then, I’ve come to realize a few things…I’ve had, a moment of clarity you can say.. after another opportunity in Columbia came up and I’ve had some interaction with a local newspaper. 12 media wins in 45 days..
In many ways, black people won’t support you until white folks do it first. It’s the cold blooded truth. I’m not salty about it. I didn’t berate anyone for not supporting a black owned business. It is what it is. I just kept it pushing… But can you deny it sweetheart? How in the hell does a n*igga like myself end up on the news….. in Australia…. Talking about technology…. And racism white supremacy before any other black person in this country recognize my effort to end systemic racism.. that I been blabbering about for 2 mf years?!?!? Make it make sense…
So gone ahead and lose the attitude about the thick white lady promoting Planetary Chess in the picture too. It’s not personal, it’s business ya feel me?
Now, to my white friends, future associates or patrons… The way I see it.. you have 3 options. Look deep inside yourself and see which one resonates with you if you wanna do extra but if we already friends.. know that I appreciate you just not being a scumbag white supremacist and I have nothing but love for you. I’m sure you know that. If it wasn’t for white folks like you..we might still be in the ‘quarters’…
Option 1 -The Once You Go Black Route: You could choose to be with a person of color. This would eliminate the chance of possibly producing a future white supremacist to uphold systemic racism. I’m not trying mess your love life up if you married.. just had to put it out there.
Option 2 - The Jane Elliot Route: You could find a way to help white people cope with their minority status on the planet. It’s hard to get a person to go against their own self interest but your passion could be the difference maker. I’ve been critical about antiracism but I met a very sharp brother today actually who is really making a difference. His effort is named, “A Long Talk.”
Option 3 -The path less Taken: You could invest in an effort that actually empowers people of color to conquer systemic racism. Hardly anyone does this and it would really be a testament of your commitment to the cause. It’s not that people don’t want to do this.. Jack Dorsey gave $10 million dollar to Ibram Kendi in his effort to dismantle systemic racism however, you don’t need to teach people of color how to be antiracist. Again, anti-racism, falls into Option 2, trying to teach white people how to not be racist in a country that was specifically built for yall. There’s no proof (yet) that it’s working, in fact there may be evidence to support the contrary, that Antiracism is making the problem worse. I say that mostly because of the rise in incidents that seem to be linked to the Great Replacement Theory.
Now considering the spill you just read between me and black women, you may think… why would anyone invest in counter racism and planetary chess when your own people not paying you any attention? That’s a good question but remember… a lot of them are seeking validation from you. So here’s what you can do if you don’t have any extra money to be a philanthropist...
I have some fine digital art that I’ve been creating. I pioneered a name for it, it’s called Tzu-racializm. I wanted to spark a fire within others that not only inspires this type of artwork but places a premium price tag on it. It’s artwork meant to liberate minds and create a balance and just society for everyone. Now, I made a blog a few weeks ago about the president’s son, Hunter Biden, a crackhead.. Do you know that guy is supposedly an artist who’s works totaled over 1.4 Millions in sales??? This speaks to the fact that “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”
My art has inherent value for many reasons but how many initiatives do you know that boasts of a formula, a methodology and blueprint to end systemic racism?? You see, I’m an engineer at heart and I have had two years to put this system together but I’m not the best salesperson. That’s where you can help end systemic racism. Join my sales team. The cheapest piece of art I have for sale right now, what they call the floor price in NFT’s, is 20 Ethereum (about $35K). That might be a drop in the bucket for someone you know who is passionate about ending systemic racism but a really nice commission for you. You can help end systemic racism and make some money at the same damn time.
I cam across a quote recently that brilliantly explains my art,
“ Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories.” - Arundhati Roy
I know there are good white folks who really want to make this country truly great and end the curse it’s been under from the sins of their forefathers. Let’s work together and bridge the gap. Think it over before I master my ai/public relations formula and no longer require or desire any assistance.
P.S I think black people are the most talented people in the world. I posted a similar picture on my blog over a month ago with a pretty black woman. A bunch of people looked at the picture but no one hit me up.
