My fellow Black Americans . . . .

I’m not sure if the barbarians are at the gates of our Black American Empire, but I do know the racist Neo-Confederates and 21st century America Nazis surely are.

I don’t know if black folks are watching what I’m watching, hearing what I hear, because I hear the “drums-of-war” being beaten, loudly and clearly. The “cold” civil war this nation's been in the midst-of since circa 1865 is heating-up with King Trump’s pouring of jet fuel on it every few days, leaving Black Americans in harm’s way.

I say this with a half-century of “life” - as a Black man, in the US, an openly hostile land. I say this knowing White America collectively, and White folks individually. With this notion in-mind, and predicated upon decades of “hands-on” experience,” this background designates me as a certified, registered and licensed “Caucasian Whisperer” . . . . Now burden with all this knowledge and expertise, it is my educated guesstimation White America is waiting, looking for a reason, any reason to reignite the never ending “Civil War.”

Look, it’s no secret White folks have been “preparing” for this bloody moment since 1609 when the first enslaved Africans got off the boat, but it ramped-up when Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale picked-up guns in 1966. Undeniably there’s a long, long . . . long-ass held fear within and across White America of getting their well deserved “comeuppance.” Fear-of an Black and Brown “uprising,” This paranoia has created everything from ”3 strikes n’ you’re out” to Militias to the over-the-counter sales of “personal” tanks, the outlawing of corporal punishment in public schools (the nightmarish notion-of Black teachers paddling white students) to the creation of “fortress” homes. Couple this “well -earned” state-of “deep paranoia” with itchy-trigger fingers . . . and you’ll too conclude White folks appear to be just “itching” for a reason to wage a race war which will facilitate the dragging of, dig this, “their” nation back to the “good ol” days” of yesteryear when the White man had audacious, absolute power and control. Yes, any old reason will do to “take-back their country” and “make it white again . . .”

Brothers and sisters . . . we’re standing here between the devil and deep-blue sea. The fate of our “nation within a nation” - Black America, is in jeopardy - (not the TV show) where our dire situation demands drastic action.

As I, merely an aging n’ starving wordsmith pounds-out this little piece-of-my-mind, Donald Trump has “diissed” fallen US Green Beret and Black America La David Johnson who gave the ultimate sacrifice, by belittling his death, and disrespecting the grieving widow. Please, don't try to tell me a damn thing about his tone n tenor nor intent - surprisingly the sitting grand pooh bah of the invisible empire has no gratitude or respect for a Black Green Beret . . . and one can conclude most of his “wingmen” are cut in the mold of klansman Steve Bannon.

Trump’s Generals are “Confederate” Officers.

These men are, in a deliberate and calculated manner coldly “utilizing” the death of a 21st century Black Buffalo Soldier to provide “cover” from the other warranted constant attacks upon Trump, as well as to, and this is critical, hear me now, to motivate and mobilize his full of blind hatred Johnny Reb redneck base which blindly and enthusiastically hates Black people.

It’s all so 1944, a time where you’d have found Black Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airman home on leave were expected-to and forced-to give-up their seats on busses, and forced out of train cars to accommodate Nazi POWs being transported to the interior. I’d argue White American culture hasn’t progressed much since the middle of the last century and desperately demands a “reformation.”

Apparently, as far as most European-Americans (White folks) are concerned - the only “good nigger” is a “dead nigger . . . ,” Or Ben Carson. And you wait n’ watch, it won’t be too long before Trump, or one of his top-level ass-kissing minions refers to a Black person as a “Nigger.” Not long before Black gladiators are hanging from NFL goalpost, lynched for being “uppity” and expressing their opinion.

How long? Not long . . . .

And when Trump denounces a Black person as a “nigger” you’ll get to witness the “hear no evil/ speak no evil/see no evil” defense sprout-up across the US homeland. White folks will instantly commence with the minimization, rationalization and justification of his usage of the term. But mark my words, once Trump lets the klan genie out of the beer can . . . nobody will be able to put him back in. White folks will begin using the term endlessly, and it’ll be nation-wide, coast to coast, because , remember the “Confederacy” isn’t merely a geographical location . . . it’s a White American cultural mindset.

As American as Coke, apple pie, Oscar Meyer Weiners and Corvettes.

Trump, upon calling someone a “nigger” will be the “canary in the mind shaft” incident which ought indicate to Back America . . . we’ve got a serious problem on our hands.

We Black folk, the “little people” need to commence with an letter writing campaign to our Black politicians demanding they approach the UN with the concern Black folk, and other Americans of color are at risk of falling prey to Trump’s stormtroopers. Can you say Wounded Knee? Remember Rosewood or the Tulsa Race Riots? Our Afro-American institutions, organizations and more visible, prominent individuals, at a time like this are obligated and mandated by history, conscience and blood to “fight the power.” I say fight back with “Black Power” and racial solidarity amongst those people's, those Americans of color, whose ancestry was pimped, used, exploited and had undeniable genocide waged upon them. We need a organized and cohesive national “resistance” agenda constructed.

Matter of factly I’d like Maxine Waters, my hometown Congresswomen to go in front of the United Nations, and request of those nations to “swear on their momma’s graves” they’ll intervene and defend black Americans civil and human rights when the trains are lined-up to nowhere, the gas chambers are being readied, the fires in the ovens stoked.

Please, how dare any of you tell me Donald J Trump isn’t “capable” of genocide. Trump is Black America’s nightmare: “white trash” with money . . . and power.

In a calculated effort to present a united, solidified front, Black Americans ought start flying the US flag, “Ol Glory” upside-down, as this display is the recognized sign of “distress,” and believe-me-you America is in distress. And we need to not just revive the giant Afro’s of Angela Davis’s era, but additionally resurrect what their message was - Black Power!!!

If Black America is Divided, delusional, disinterested, and in disbelief our Black asses will fall.

Matter-of-fact, stop reading this piece, go download James Brown’s 1968 Black anthem, “Say it loud, I’m Black n’ I’m proud!” and then start-over reading my thoughts. And remember, when you speak-to Black folks, don’t wave, throw that fist up in the iconic “Black Power’ salute.

Free your mind . . . and your ass will follow!
