When Genocides End

When the current ethnic cleansing of black men is over, we will have to face ourselves. You will have to make a statement to yourself about the genocidal actions of those in power. You may say that black men got what we deserved because we did not seek freedom or independence enough. You may say that there was nothing that you could do to stop the genocide. The people in power were too violent and armed to stop. You may feel guilty that you were fortunate enough to survive when so many of your friends and family members died. I will say that I gave black men a way out of the social machine that grounds them into dust. If we survive too many of us will convince ourselves that we have won. When genocides happen all of the principles of enlightenment are pushed away. We all lose.
