Backbreaking truth that made America great white supremacy: Racism Ameri...

America sells a false stories
of success and say: see anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps,
further denigrating those who can't escape designed poverty. It plays into the
false and pernicious narrative that poverty is somehow a fault of desire, a
fault of intelligence, a fault of skills. I contend, poverty is not a failing
of the residents of Flatbush ( Brooklyn) who
are just as decent and talented as anyone else. Rather it is a plan of an elite
of so-called white society.

It took me seeing 5 of my so-called  black teen  friends slammed face first  against a bodega wall by  NYPD, for no reason, to erase much of the
image of the real racist only live in the south . It also took that for my
friends seeing Obama selected was a façade covering lies. It took the unsolved
murder of a 15-year-old Hunts Point girl, to make me viscerally understand how things
only appear to have changed. It took watching a few smart children grew from
dreaming of college to dealing drugs to viscerally understand how lucky
everyone in my old office of Information Technology department at Kings County
Hospital.

The barriers between Flatbush, Brownsville
and the rest of New York
are not as high as they were between the so-called white and so-called black
section of my grandfathers hometown of which he spoke in the 1960s. People can
freely pass over them. Practically, however, they are almost insurmountable.

Gone is the overt, violent, and legal racism of my grandfather and
father. It has been replaced by a subtler version.

It is a racism that is easier to ignore, easier to deny, and
consequently more dangerous. I’m Tazadaq and this is my view of your and my
reality
