Fuck ICE

This is the address of my home. It has three break-ins with two other attempted break-ins while I was home. The police refuse to investigate telling me that "you don't like us so we will only give you an incident number. have a good day." So i am going to start to document the break-ins here.

It has spread to covering the constant abuse from ICE/LEO/FBI/Border Patrol/"Federal Agents".

I hope that this will be useful in the future.

Others can use it to start or finish stories and songs. I will never.

i have so many racists parts of me i hate it. and when i spin-out emotionally i wish i could remember people that actually suffered like Emmett Till so that I could try to keep my vitriol to myself. I fail not only me but certainly fail Emmett Till and every person that has had to endure that similar treatment.

i feel and think so poorly of my racism but it keeps pounding in my fucking head over and over again. I really don't understand it. But it took me 40 years to see it in myself, and then it became so easy to spot it everywhere.

but i can not seem to change these spots on me.

Built-in to the fabric of this society. And I get super-righteous about anti-racism and then hours later i am having racist thoughts, again.

It is some of the worst part of the road of myself that I have built. Not all the worst but more than too much.

I wish that I could offer something authentically good and anti-racist to the world. But until I find something to anchor my feelings and thoughts to the best I can do is struggle to shut the fuck up and point to those that are better than me about being right.

Emmett Till would be my father's age. But he only got to spend 14 years here.

I'm a piece of loser shit that got to 52. I don't understand this world or the people in it.

But I do understand that Emmett Till didn't even get a chance.

I'm sorry that I am a moron racist. It makes me feel less human every fucking day.

I am not sure this harshness would help yourself or anyone else for that matter. Racism is a socially conditioned belief system, not an individual flaw. Indeed it is baked in the structure of society, and everyone has been raised with it. This is not a justification of racism, but an acknowledgment of its systemic nature. Self reflection is good, as is self criticism, reading some theory, and being proactive about abolishing the structures that reproduce racism.
