Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died.
I
feel exactly as I'm sure the
"Munchkins" felt when Dorothy's house landed on the Wicked
Witch of the West…
Wicked;
evil or morally wrong.: "a wicked and unscrupulous politician".
Synonyms:
evil, sinful, immoral,
wrong, morally wrong, bad, iniquitous, base, mean and vil. If the
robe fits, wear it.
Forgive
me, the late Justice Scalia appeared to have been a great father and
husband, a much-loved, charming grandpa. I’d never question nor
debate his love n’ affection for his loved ones. However, I’ve
questioned his love of Black and Brown people since 1986. Honestly
I’m sure, based upon his legal writings, judicial judgements
and well-chronicled bigoted comments - i.e., both his words
and deeds - Scalia was
either indifferent to or honestly despised Black people.
I’d
submit the Justice was a well-educated, charming bigoted, sexist
chauvinist, just like and no different from Reagan, Clinton, Ford,
Bush - both, and Nixon - just to name a few.
Go
Bernie!
Justice Scalia harbored
very little empathy, sympathy nor pity for the plight of America’s
underclass. He wasn't a friend of Americans of Color, nor an ally of
worker ant and worker bee type Americans. We were, in his jaded eyes,
simply flesh n’ bone riff-raff not worthy of a fair shot at
life. Merely weeks ago Scalia was arguing Blacks were not
intellectually qualified to attend the more prestigious institutions
of higher learning across the land, and actually we’d be better
off at Mississippi Tech than Yale.
There
are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to
get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as
opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track
school where they do well. One of the briefs pointed out that most of
the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the
University of Texas. They come from lesser schools where they do not
feel that they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for
them.
"I'm
just not impressed by the fact the University of Texas may have fewer
[blacks]. Maybe it ought to have fewer. I don't think it stands to
reason that it's a
good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as
possible."
Hell!
Scalia might as well have joined Southern segregationist George
Wallace in banning and
baring Black students from institutions of higher education. Yes,
without question at his death Scalia was working to deny a college
education, i.e, an instrumental cornerstone of the elusive
American Dream to Black
and Latino students.
During
a speech late last year to first-year Georgetown law students Scalia
suggested the Supreme Court's decisions on gay rights could, by the
court's logic, apply to child molesters.
Well,
“if push comes to shove,” it’s extremely difficult
to feel sorry for a man, or to respect his life’s work when one
well-understands his life's work was, quite simply, to complicate and
make-harder your life.
So,
if you’re asking me to go
beyond a respectful,
courteous nod to the family, a customary tip-of-the-hat, don’t
hold your breath. Forgive me please, but anything more would be a
form of deceit, hypocrisy, and dishonesty. . . masquerading as
admiration if not honor, and I’ve neither for the man.
I
feel the same way about Scalia as I felt when Ronnie "666"
Ray-Gun was called home... I was hosting a radio talk show at one of
Philip Anschutz's radio stations here in Denver when he died, and I
told the burning-bush truth about "who n' what" Reagan
symbolized and epitomized in the eyes of millions-upon-millions of
Americans.
Phil
apologized for my comments and shut-down the station two weeks later.
Now,
since we’re discussing death, I’d wish death upon no man
nor woman, nonetheless I’d be lying if I don’t somewhat
eagerly expect that treasonous, trifling Black Benedict Arnold up on
the hill, Judge Clarence Thomas to be so-very loyal n’ faithful
to his Massa Scalia that the certified Uncle Tom dies broken-hearted
in the next few days, just so he can be with Mista’ Scalia and
continue to be an useful idiot who’ll eternally carry his
bosses bags.
As far as I'm concerned, Clarence,
along with Condi, Herman Cain, Armstrong Williams, Star Parker, Ben
Carson and the other political prostitutes who call themselves Negro
Republicans, should be politically neutered.
Yeah,
I’m saying these turncoat characters would put their mommas on
the corner… if the price is right. Think about it, they’ve
sold-out n’ betrayed the best interest of their entire race -
for personal gains.
Yes,
hell yes, I’ll say it with clarity n’ conviction; lives
will be saved, dreams will not be deliberately deferred - because
Scalia has passed. And, if not just one, but two of these
“Conservatives” are called home by their great white
father in the sky, can you imagine the Black n’ Brown lives
which will not be
interfered-with?
There
is a “greater good.”
If
Scillia is replaced by a Progressive
Black woman, imagine the
civil rights which will be restored. Consider the options and choices
for 2nd and 3rd class colored folks which may remain now that this
man off the court. Now with perhaps two Americans-of-Color placed on
the court?
It's
a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life . . . for millions!
Might
I add, Justice Scalia's untimely death (he did outlive the average
Black man by 15 years, so) it almost seems too-timely to be, might I
say “legit.” “Orchestrated” is the world
which comes to mind. What a sure-fire method to rally the rank n’
file Rednecks. Obviously President Obama’s next chessboard-move
could trigger mass-White hysteria.
“The
sky is falling!”
“The
sky done fell!”
At
a critical time like now, right now, when Lord Trump has a,
insurrectionist laden, volatile revolt building across these
so-called United States of America, where the lynch mob mentality is
to “make America White again.” (I speak n’
decipher Rednecklish)
Despite
the predictable backlash, Obama has a chance to, I hope, throw
caution, diplomacy and decorum to-the-wind and nominate a
unabashedly, proud Progressive
to the highest court in
all the land.
Understanding regardless
of who he nominates, be it Aesop, Socrates, Plato or Angela Davis -
today’s Republican TEA Party will attempt to castrate him,
literally.
