Hotep family,
As-salaam alaykum.
Yesterday this elderly cracker sat on me to give his wife room, and i lightly but firmly slapped his arm. he had the nerve to say you shouldn't hit strangers and i rapped him again. then told him he shouldn't sit on strangers.
Some of us must be familiar with the odd kiss-blowing phenomenon; maybe devils have lost their minds. well, i usually freeze when that starts because its so offensive. i believe some old devils tried it this afternoon, just after i saw a white-possibly'"jewish" man reach directly towards my sister's back. the white-possibly-"jewish" woman with him was looking right at him. any way, either because yaqub's grafted race sticks together, or for reasons of their own, a white family passes behind me and i swear before allah the man touched my skirt. that was it.
I turned to go down the aisle - the devils had their little toddler boy coming towards me. a trick they often play by trying to hold up their offspring s desirable and precious. i said `get your son out of my way!` at my word, the sperm donor devil grabbed his little devil and said `next time go around us.` i told him, without cussing, to go around me, while getting the items i wanted.
Do you know that coward said: `why? because we`re white and in your way?` i looked right at him, his blond son, and either latina or iranian wife, and said `yes.` they literally backed out of the aisle.
Then my sister tells me that i was wrong, and two most likely christian black women and a white woman show up to nod in sympathy. To sis' credit, both of us ignored the pork chop gallery. We will probably always disagree on that incident.
The devils taught o`zbek teachers about whipping black people, o`zbek children to call blacks pikininny, and maligned blacks in u.s. gvrnmt run training manuals, and soros foundation training sessions. the tapes i recorded were misused by the u.s. gvrnmt. those cowards had the nerve to klan up and call me n-gger and an attention seeker and tell me i was unwanted. the us embassy insults every black woman in this wilderness by getting negroes to swear black-white mixing is our major concern. my family added debt helping me because it was the respectable thing to do, and i thank allah for them. i was too sick to work for two years.
Devils pulled the same trick in jena, with josiah spaulding, in west virginia, with the murder of khalid muhammad, with the murder of black children in philadelphia (MOVE), with the bounty on mama assata,legal attempted lynching of john white, imam jamil al-amin, legal attempted rape by words of the rutger's women basketball team, the sister raped by the duke lacrosse team, 9-year old malik thomas who was lynched in 2006, attempted educational lynching and death threats against 7-year old autum ashante, etc. devils have been executing the same program since at least the early fifteenth century.
Let any white devil trick with me, and i will whip them back into that lab. - maryam

The role of misogyny in the organized sadism of these men must be articulated: because women's lives were destroyed by careful plan; and because that sadism continues to contaminate and compromise what it means to be human. The Nazi invasion of the human body--the literal and metaphoric castration of subjugated men, the specter of the sexualized, tortured. emaciated "Jewess," mass plundered, mass murdered--is still the touchstone for an apparently depoliticized social sadism, a fetishized rapism that normalizes sexual humiliation and mass dehumanization.

u lost me for a second with the "o`zbek" i have no idea what that means.
but i feel ur reaction.
in retrospect however, would u still say u snapped cause they were white? just curious.
cause i can see why u would be upset and i can see how them being white would push u past the breaking point.
but i'm just curious if u think knowing urself (cause i don't as well as u do) if they were black would u have snapped?
sidebar: from my experience i think ur use of devils and crackers may turn some people off. not telling u to change it. the words are filled with anger and anger isn't for me to judge down. but in my head i read it, then had to tell myself to ignore it and keep reading.
this goes back to the afrocentricity conversation. do we gotta use "devil"? why are we using it? to be sensational?
like i said, and please understand this before anyone comments, i personally don't care if u use the words or not, but i know that many BLACK folks who read this blog are going to stop right there and dismiss the rest of the this post because of that.
This is a very artistically written piece, almost poetic. And honestly I didn't fully understand it. I understood an aggravating experience, and the connection to historical events. But some of the details were lost on me.
"Devil" when referring to white people should be used sparingly and for full effect. It's like screaming, "Fuck yeah!" when you mean to nod your head.
Protect yourself and be cautious when your in the world like that. Sometimes we can't afford to take on battles like that especially when in a disadvantageous position like being an African on this soil. But then again, you gotta set em straight when they get out of line.
I don't think the reaction would have been the same if he was black. But those are two different contexts. Grabassing no matter what the color of the hand if unacceptable, but historical memory kicks in harder when its a white man doing it. ANd those who act as devils would only fit the description. Those who don't are undeserved of the title.
