i can say this:
if i find out it was mohawk
because that is my lane my purview
there is a civil war coming to mohawk nation
like who doesnt have an incentive to kill
him
the town of ramapo does
evangelical christian mohawks do
supremacist mohawks do
white supremacist mohawks do
muslims do
internal lenape politics does
connections in newark
the muslim community in newark
he had enemies there too
under the law
what law
who has jurisdiction?
is this lenape law business
is this mohawk law business
is this new jersey law business
his mother we spoke in person
knows it is murder
yes she was furious with grief
but it was not the confabulation of denial
found without his shoes
they took his knife
he was supposed to pick up his son
he told no one he was going to do this instead of picking up his son
there are not clams in that river
the deepest the water has ever gotten that i have observed is three inches less than a yardstick length
cos yea i can tell when a story is bullshit and doesnt make sense
the original story told to me was that he was looking for clams in a boat in the ramapough river but he didnt know how to swim
i have walked across that river
it isnt even accurate to say river
it is a large stream
i arrived shortly after his murder
and when people explained his death as drowning. an accident.
in my heart i said: that's not true
i didnt have the privilege of seeing him smile with my eyes
i didnt have the privilege to earn a hug
i never got to make him laugh
cant be muslim and egyptian and mohawk and lenape and actually successfully win landback in court? cant be that talented? cant also give lectures to students in a classroom?
murdered for it?
fuck you.
like hey this will be funny let's watch natives fight black people
meanwhile?
like so meanwhile
black natives? to the meatgrinder for you
are you kidding me that residential school reconciliation chose the slogan: every child matters?
like fuck off!!!
but who chose that slogan?
the fucking state
black lives matter
well actually, all lives you idiot
god forbid there is a moment of black supremacy
every other supremacy oh yea that can exist that exists every day that's fine
black supremacy? lollllllllllll
sorry not you
like are you kidding me?
can you imagine the absolute audacity it takes to finally have enough of a wave to finally say:
black is so very beautiful
just one time
and to not even have a fraction of a second to rest in the peace of the absolute truth of that inviolable knowingness
before people rush in to smother that out like: well actually, everything is beautiful. all colors. your math is wrong.
a great very many people have to move undercover knowing they are presumed guilty knowing no matter what they say or make or do or speak it doesnt matter but still they try and they have been trying for hundreds of years whole generations born living dying just trying trying trying trying trying trying trying trying trying trying trying to prove their innocence that other people are granted by default
a great very many people are presumed guilty and have to constantly calibrate to try to prove their own innocence
