White Privilege and Its Impact Against Black America

Well look what we have here…

Even on the hills of Georgia’s historic moment, white privilege, systemic racism, and white debauchery continues to rear its ugly head. The chain of events that unfolded on the steps of Capitol Hill is a constant reminder how this country operates by two different sets of standards.

When protesters took to the streets last summer in the wake of the murders of George Floyd and Breanna Taylor, they were met with rubber bullets, hoses, pepper spray, and live rounds. Peaceful, seated protestors were hosed and threatened by police in helicopters. It is unimaginable the carnage Black folk would have been subjected to had they done anything remotely close to what transpired this week at the capitol. The words etched in the Declaration of Independence “We hold these truths self-evident; that all men are created equal” couldn’t be further from the truth.

When the smoke clears, when the glass is all swept up, we will see that those who objected to collective progress are ultimately a bunch of closed minded people driven by the ugliness this country was founded on.

Join The Street Team on January 8th via Facebook Live to discuss the topic, "White Privilege and Its Impact Against Black America."

Domestic Violence, High Blood Pressure, Cancer, Strokes, Heart Attacks, Diabetes, etc. In the midst of the Pandemic. There are no experts at this time. Just lived experience.
