I’m a 17-year-old black American who refuses to go woke

I’m a first-generation, 17-year-old Black American who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the Brooklyn neighborhood made famous by Jay-Z.

Given that brief biography, perhaps you’d assume that I’m a Black Lives Matter slogan-chanting, capitalism-chastising teen activist. Or that I’m an at-risk youth, destined for dropping out or incarceration.

You’d be wrong on both counts.

I’m a religious Christian and political conservative with an after-school job as a dishwasher at Panera: three things that, if we’re to believe the statistics about Gen Z, make me an outlier.

One thing the studies definitely get right: my peers and I are online all the time. I’ve had a cellphone since I was 11 years old and immediately downloaded Instagram. While there had always been references to social justice, they didn’t dominate. Until the past two years. Suddenly, they were everywhere I clicked and, often, at the centerpiece of our lesson plans at school. As classes moved from the classroom to bedroom, I began to notice my classmates denouncing their “white privilege” in Instagram posts, updating their bios with their gender pronouns, and posting links to various social justice causes.

Whit lefties in hoods and masks attack Candace Owens while she’s “eating while black.” Our Dhimmicrap pseudopresident refers to one of his aides, a former Member of Congress, as a “boy.” A tolerant liberal in a gorilla suit throws an egg at Larry Elder (what, were you out of Oreos?) And they’re upset about us, because somehow we’re the racists.

Slowly, it seems, black America is waking up. I liken it to air coming out of a tire — to use Hemingway’s phrase, “Gradually, then suddenly.”

Air starts leaking out of your tire and at first you don’t notice it, then it seems a little low, so you add some air, and eventually you wake up one day and it’s gone flat. That is pretty much what’s happening with blacks. We’re in the seepage stage. But it’s beginning to be evident that the air is getting low.

He says it in the article. From Haiti.

Great article. I would send it to a few of my woke family but they would just respond with anger.

Please send it to them. Let them get angry. Send them a lot of this stuff. Make them come face to face with the HATE that is the foundation and fuel of progressivism.

So he’s cool with cops shooting blacks in COLD BLOOD? Sick!

(don’t laugh, that is what our opponents think when they read what he says)

Well then it's GOT to be fake.
The Qtards tell us that Hillary ganked up all the Haitian
kids and chopped 'em up for Adrenochromes or sent them into
Epstein's dungeon for Sex Duty. It's is known, not in dispute.

They are taking notice because the Democrat tent is getting too big so they see how the game was played on them finally.

This remarkable young man is a Tom Sowell conservative.

He is fearless, and he knows, being a Bible-believer, how to put on the Armor of God.

May the Lord protect and preserve him in his love of America and genuine desire to serve.

Probably.

Hopefully he can get out of there sooner than later.

mumble can't read.

That's why he didn't catch that - or "has a job" part, either.   winking face

Dude, are you off your meds? Then take some.
If not, visit your doctor and get some.
