Light Triggers. Shit Floats.

My goal is to dance in the dream that God has for me. After Papi passed, I surrendered ALL previous goals. I have fully committed to this Dougie down the proverbial yellow brick road. I have NO idea what’s going to happen. I’m CONVINCED God’s gonna shatter my concept of reality & I am here for it. 🥰

White supremacy mastered the process of draining Black prodigy to the second b4 novelty can become inspirational.They extract at the exact inflection point where it’s proven valuable but b4 it can catalyze movement. Individual excellence they can tolerate.Blueprints for collective power they cannot.

Every real change in history still moves through moderately wealthy,educated white men.But when it matters, they never use their privilege to stop the harm. Whole countries shut down by 12AM b/c a few can wreak havoc.Those grainy videos were right: the system was never broken. It was built this way.

Black Male leadership and white liberals/leftists have perfected educated helplessness: silent when we’re attacked, incompetent when we demand power. The energy of promise you all siphoned belongs to Black women. Your unearned leadership is over. If you are silent now, stay silent after midterms.

My Personal Philosophy: Good is the absence of intentional inflicted pain. This requires Discernment: the wisdom to distinguish harm from healing, cruelty from accountability, malice from imperfection. And it must be led, always, with genuine LOVE. ❤️

If your movement requires lovable, adorable, sinless dead Black bodies as the catalyst for your empathy,
I question your movement
and
I question you.
Black death should not be the price of your awareness.
That is not solidarity.
That is consumption.

Greta Thunberg is changing the world, here’s the privilege that paved her path:
•White
•Blonde
•Swedish
•Strong social safety net
•Financial Freedom
•Freedom of speech
•No threat to her education or safety
Privilege isn’t a backdrop; it’s a launchpad. History remembers who has access & who doesn’t.

All of it.

Eli Roth’s “Hostel” is the scariest movie because it shows what humans are capable of when nothing holds them back. Often dismissed as just gore; it’s a brutal critique of capitalism. When money can buy anything it exposes our true nature. Money does not create monsters; it simply removes the mask.

Eve, born days later, got the command secondhand (Gen 2:16–17). Faced a cunning serpent with no preparation (Gen 3:1). Adam stood silent (Gen 3:6). Then Adam ate also. Yet she’s blamed most. This wasn’t a tale of moral failure. It’s the origin of systemic neglect.

We think oppression is a monster that must be slain. Often, it's a virus.
By showing 'MERCY' to its key hosts like unpunished Nazis & pardoned slave owners, & dismissing treason we allowed the ideology to mutate & infect new systems. The symptom changed; the disease remained & many are Asymptomatic.

LEADERS, do not assume you will be remembered like the legends before you.
You watched progress burn for pride, power, and profit.
That was the trade.
You chose money instead of legacy.
History does not honor cowards.
It footnotes them.
