So we’re going to have another conversation as I’m not done yet white people……

Im going to say it straight the psychological damage you have inflicted through white supremacy is one of the influences of black people’s poor mental health. You may not want to listen but I’m going to say it anyway because I don’t particularly care for your emotions.

Leta go back to slavery, just for a brief spell I don’t want to explode your brains or maybe I do who knows. Let’s talk about the damage that started of slowly.

Traumatising black men and black women by keeping them seperate, yes isolating black men and women from one another. Black families weren’t allowed to be together and you wonder why that trauma lasts into today.

However when we present facts, you insist on writing fiction you lot are experts world class authors on fiction novels.

Secondly let’s talk on what is happening recently with the spate of white people calling the police on black people fpr simply breathing the same oxygen as you. Are you that offended, because I’m sure your lungs are doing fine. Yet you insist on being petty.

White privileged human beings can’t function unless black people are constantly beneath them. Once again the word trauma imagine you are simply living your life and the police are called on you.

The fear of loosing your life or being beaten up, because Becky said you looked at her funny (where have we heard this before emmett till anyone?) it is not even so much the police being called, though we are steadily loosing trust for them and this seems to be a common theme. It’s the fact that white people can freely call the police and face no consequences.

While our mental health suffers, they can just apologise and that’s the end of that. While we only have to turn on our TV sets and see one of our brothers and sisters lying on the ground shot to death. You will never understand that pain, and I don’t care for you too.

Thirdly I want to address how you are damaging our black children, with the constant attacks on their self esteem. Imagine you go to the hairdressers get your hair done in braids which are nice and neat. To then go to a white institution where they instantly devalue them, and threaten them with expulsion just for a hairstyle. Or banning children from schools because they follow the Rastafarian faith and wear their hair in dreadlocks which is a reflection of this.

Apprently it distracts them from their education, I question the education you mean the myths and fables but I digress…. Or let’s talk about children and constantly disadvantaged from the minute they step into your gates. The reason why they’re black and they’re good to be productive to keep the white economy going working on mini plantations.

However what about their mental health, what about the fact that black people are the ones who are hospitalised at  higher rates compared to white people. Or the fact that black children’s mental health is suffering greatly. Cahms is overwhelmed and if whote choldrwn can’t get a referral instead being left on a waiting list for months. What chance do black children stand, absolutely none.

So yes white people are to blame for a lot these issues and it’s time for them to acknowledge it. The race audit Teresa may (Britain’s prime minister) released a few months ago was cute but that’s not enough. To put it simply there was nothing in the report that we didn’t already know……
