The angry, liberal rhetoric has reached a fever pitch....it hasn't peaked yet (IMO), but it will.

Howard University professor calls on White political allies to emulate vigilante mass murderer
Howard University professor Stacey Patton encourages White allies to emulate John Brown, the abolitionist who was hanged for violent acts after Harpers Ferry raid.
always good to find the original source .. ( see below, posted here incase the original gets deleted .. )
So when white allies ask, “What can I do?” here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?
And stop asking us for the answer because we ain’t got it. And why the hell should we? It’s strange, really, to expect the people still clawing our way out of the wreckage to tell you how to stop building the fire. Every day we live inside the matrix of white supremacy, maneuvering through traps set generations ago in laws, schools, offices, and culture. We’re dodging the shrapnel, and you’re standing there asking for directions out of a maze you built.
We are not the architects. We are the collateral damage. You don’t ask the people choking on the smoke to explain how to put out the blaze. You go get the damn hose. You stop pretending you don’t see the flames. That’s the real answer: you already know what to do. Be honest: you just don’t want to lose the warmth that fire gives you.
That’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud: liberation costs. It always has. If you want to stand on the right side of history, you have to give up the life history gave you.
analysis ..
1) "Whites" get to decide the solution, not the black victims. OK, got that straight, thanks Dr Stacey Patton.
2) USA has systematic racism, and it appears no amount of recent efforts have moved the needle in the proper direction.
3) Therefore, it is clear that the USA can NOT be am equitable home to the black victims of systematic racism.
4) Liberia, have not heard any American victims state Liberia has systematic racism.
5) Thus Solution : send those who identify as victims of systematic USA racism to Liberia. Thanks Dr Stacey Patton for making this so clear.

John Brown Didn’t Ask Enslaved People How to Be A Good White Ally
Dr Stacey Patton
Oct 18, 2025
Every few weeks a white person, usually well-meaning, writes to me asking how to be a better ally. They list the right books they’ve read, the relatives they’ve blocked, the marches they’ve attended. They tell me how many friends they’ve lost for saying the right things, how lonely it feels to be the one white person in their circle who “gets it.”
And then, they ask the same exhausting question: “What else can I do?”
It’s a question that always lands heavy. Not because I doubt their sincerity, but because the question itself is still a form of protection that centers the asker’s confusion instead of the target’s danger. It’s a request to be taught, forgiven, and reassured, again and again. It’s another round of homework assigned to the wounded.
It’s exhausting as hell because it’s still a form of emotional outsourcing. Even the well-intentioned versions drag you back into the same cycle of having to translate pain into curriculum. It’s the paradox of white “goodness.” They want to be seen trying, but the trying itself becomes another demand on the people that are already harmed.
That’s why the question feels heavy. It’s not that their heart isn’t in the right place. It’s that the framing still centers them. How do I show support? How do I signal I’m good? How do I prove I’m different and one of the good ones? It’s still about optics, not redistribution. It’s the emotional equivalent of white philanthropy: “Tell me how to fix what my people broke, but in a way that makes me feel righteous, not complicit.”
What would be revolutionary is for white folks to stop asking us what to do and start asking other white folks why they refuse to do it. To stop seeking moral instructions from the wounded and start wounding the system that keeps making new victims. To stop requesting permission to be decent and just go do the damn work!
The exhaustion comes from the repetition. From each generation of white people discovering racism like it’s a new scandal, while the rest of us are still trying to survive this shit.
And every time these questions come up, I keep thinking of John Brown. Because John Brown never asked enslaved people how to be a good white ally.
Can you even imagine the absurdity of it?
Picture John Brown strolling onto a plantation, hat in hand, stepping over the blood, the chains, the auction block, and asking a man in shackles, “Excuse me, brother, could you explain how I might leverage my privilege more effectively?” Imagine him interrupting the wails of a mother whose children were just sold off to ask, “Do you have any reading recommendations on how I can be less complicit?” Picture him whispering through the bars of a slave pen, “What hashtag should I use to show my solidarity?”
It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous. No sane person would walk into a hellscape and ask the people burning in it to explain the goddamn fire.
Brown was a white man who looked around in the mid-1800s and understood, with holy clarity, that slavery was not a political problem but a moral emergency. He didn’t workshop his feelings about privilege. Brown didn’t need a syllabus, a think piece, or a guidebook on allyship. He didn’t need affirmation from Black folks that he was one of the good ones. He saw the horror for what it was and decided that ending this racist f*ckery mattered more than being understood.
He didn’t post a black square or write a thread about accountability. He saw an empire built on blood and decided to make it stop. He studied the system, its laws, its economics, its theology, and concluded that slavery would not die by persuasion. He used his money to fund Black schools, armed uprisings, and the Underground Railroad. He lived among the people whose liberation he was willing to die for. And when he launched the doomed raid at Harpers Ferry, he wasn’t looking for praise or purity. He was looking for pressure.
When they captured him, beaten and bleeding, he didn’t apologize. He said, “I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.”
Just like that.
Now, white liberals love to quote Martin Luther King Jr. because he is a man that can be polished into civility. But John Brown doesn’t fit the script. He was a m’fukin’ gangsta! He didn’t ask for gradual change, or healing, or bipartisan cooperation. He saw a nation addicted to violence and knew that moral persuasion alone couldn’t sober it.
In 2025, “allyship” has been turned into a brand. There are T-shirts, webinars, influencer campaigns, hashtags, and diversity statements. It’s a cottage industry of self-congratulation. Brown would have burned it all down because he was a man who didn’t want to perform goodness; he wanted to destroy evil.
So when white allies ask, “What can I do?” here’s the answer: Be like John Brown. Ask yourself, what am I willing to burn so somebody else can breathe?
And stop asking us for the answer because we ain’t got it. And why the hell should we? It’s strange, really, to expect the people still clawing our way out of the wreckage to tell you how to stop building the fire. Every day we live inside the matrix of white supremacy, maneuvering through traps set generations ago in laws, schools, offices, and culture. We’re dodging the shrapnel, and you’re standing there asking for directions out of a maze you built.
We are not the architects. We are the collateral damage. You don’t ask the people choking on the smoke to explain how to put out the blaze. You go get the damn hose. You stop pretending you don’t see the flames. That’s the real answer: you already know what to do. Be honest: you just don’t want to lose the warmth that fire gives you.
That’s the thing nobody wants to say out loud: liberation costs. It always has. If you want to stand on the right side of history, you have to give up the life history gave you.
If you don’t want to die like John Brown, fine. But understand that somebody always does. The question is whether you’ll keep letting it be us. Will you keep outsourcing the danger. Will you keep making our suffering your syllabus. That question — “what can I do? — is another act of violence and a demand that we keep bleeding so you can keep learning. Because every time you ask us what to do, you’re really saying, you die first.
