“THESE THINGS TAKE TIME”

“THESE THINGS TAKE TIME”

Centuries before the “Founding Fathers” rose up in revolt against the legitimate authority of their King, Africans in North, South, and Central America and the Caribbean were rising up in righteous indignation against the unspeakably heinous criminality of the various European nations engaged in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

In 1776, there were undoubtedly many prudent, reasonable colonists who opposed violent revolution against legitimate authority, arguing that after all: “these things take time.” Nowadays, there are many “prudent, reasonable” people—Blacks and nonBlacks alike—who preach patience in the face the barbaric white supremacist oppression. They argue: “After all, these things take time.”

Well, it’s been just about five centuries now that Africans have been rising up in righteous indignation against the unspeakably heinous criminality of the various European nations engaged in white supremacist exploitation. Isn’t that enough f**king time?
