  1. My name is Chantalle. I'm just a 27 year old African American women trying to get by.
  2.  
  3. I doubt anyone will read this, not because I'm black but because I am not a writer or a
  4. philosopher or a civil rights activist.
  5.  
  6. I was fired from my internship yesterday, it was a justified firing. I was working under a
  7. criminal lawyer, and I attacked a neo-nazi. It wasn't because he called me derogatory names
  8. or made snide comments about my ass or family. I was upset because he said the next white
  9. supremacy movement would be founded upon failed black civil movements and modern feminism.
  10.  
  11. I was upset, because he's right.
  12.  
  13. Y'all know his logic behind it actually made sense to me. Traditional neo-nazi organizations
  14. and the KKK had gone out of business because "blacks were lynching and killing themselves".
  15. We were forced into chains centuries ago and now we voluntarily buy our chains. The neo-nazi
  16. agreed African American's used to be Kings and Queens, otherwise earlier colonies would have
  17. never bothered with Africa because without the Black Monarchy, Black Slavery would never
  18. have been so easy or lucrative for the white man.
  19.  
  20. Today we are still slaves. Slaves to blacks in gangs, to drugs and to violence and most of all
  21. to our poverty we share with all colors and cultures.
  22.  
  23. Forget conservatives who trash hip-hop culture and demean us to nothing but weed smokers and
  24. rapers for a second. Liberals genuinely believe the black community needs help in everything we do;
  25. black college scholarships, black diversity work programs, black lives matter and other civil rights
  26. movement. Nuh-uh, as if we're that stupid that we need your help at all. Yes, the black community
  27. is disadvantaged and we're still seeing the side-effects of a deep wound which we call slavery
  28. and racism. But if we keep calling out our white brothers and sisters and invalidate their issues
  29. and concerns because they are stereo typically 'privileged', that pushes the idea that either whites
  30. are naturally superior or that there is a double standard within the black community and the white
  31. community should apply that dangerous thinking as well. Closet racism, both sides.
  32.  
  33. We need to stand alongside all colors and cultures if we are going to stamp out racism. We need
  34. to acknowledge black-on-black crime as well as white police officers killing innocent black men.
  35. We need to stop segregating ourselves and learn about different cultures instead of focusing on
  36. our own. We need to make a change, I'm not sure how we're going to do it but how we are acting
  37. at the moment isn't working.
  38.  
  39. What I did was wrong to the neo-nazi, no amount of violence or vandalism the black community or I
  40. commit out of rage is going to solve anything at all. Y'all know we'll just create more closet racists
  41. and prejudice. The black community needs to stop being racist against the white community if we expect
  42. them to do the same. To show we're serious, we need to change first for them to follow. It isn't going
  43. to happen the other way round because the white community has already tried that.
  44.  
  45. I'm tired of being hated and I'm tired of hating, before we can be loved by other races, us as
  46. black women, black men and black children need to learn to love ourselves before anyone else can.
  47. We've made so much progress but still have so far to go, lets not play into their hand and manifest
  48. hate with our black lives movement, but form an act of love.
  49.  
  50. We can do this by advocating real change in the hiring process of police officers and have every officer
  51. screened for racism no matter whether they're White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or another ethnicity. All
  52. police. That's how Black Lives Matter makes an impact and a start, we come together, advocate and package
  53. change and then present it in front of policy makers to enact.
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. Showing love to y'all daily and learning from my mistakes. Wish me luck y'all.
  58.  
  59. Chantalle A.
  60.  
  61.  
  62. (P.S. Please respect my wish to stay anonymous, I know what happened to MLK and other civil right activists.)
