As
the iconic 19th century Black American orator Frederick Douglass so
aptly put it in 1867, “a man’s rights rest in three
boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.”
The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass
With
the rise of post-reconstruction Jim Crow segregation and
wanton violence at the end of the 19th century, Negro advocates
continued to advocate meeting “fire with fire.” The famed
anti-lynching crusader, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, offered this in 1892,
“A Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every
Black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law
refuses to give.”
Ida
B. was telling it like it really was . . . and still is.
Here
in 2019, White America is armed, locked n’ cocked - both
barrels, and please, let’s be brutally blunt . . . all those
guns, all that armor-piercing ammo and those night-vision goggles,
personal bazookas and backyard tanks - well that’s all for our
black n’ brown asses. Yes it is! Millions of white folks are
waiting, planning, calculating and preparing for some form of a “Red
Dawn” 2nd Civil War.
There’s
a new report out on coffee tables all across these divided States of
America, it’s titled “The Anger Games: Who Voted for
Donald Trump in the 2016 Election, and Why?” Dig this from it:
Despite all of the disproved narratives about the “white
working class,” it has been repeatedly and conclusively shown
that “Donald Trump in fact won the White House because of
racism and nativism. But sexism was a key element in Trump’s
victory as well. These values, beliefs, and behaviors interact with
one another.” This report offers new research by
University of Kansas sociologists David Smith and Eric Hanley
This
reports illustrates the voodoo chili that the America, 'melting pot"
is today white America has crowned a king to rid the land of the
unwashed masses . . . by any diabolical means this tyrant deems
necessary.
Turn
off the ballgame, baby-brah" . . . do you hear the
neo-Confederate Viking war drums pounding on FOX News or on one of
the many Sinclair outlets? . . . White America see's a "when
push comes to shove” moment on the horizon . . . while most
black men are listening to the game, pathetically listening to a
couple of things we have a knowledge and understanding of - sports
and entertainment. We don’t know too-much, about a 8th grade
knowledge base related-to global economics or local politics.
Writing
in “The Anger Games: Who Voted for Donald Trump in the 2016
Election, and Why?” - which appeared in a recent issue of the
Journal Critical Sociology, Smith and Hanley summarize their
new research: ”We find that Trump’s supporters voted
for him mainly because they share his prejudices, not because they’re
financially stressed.
As
a people black America is so woefully under-educated - we simply
don’t understand the US timeline, we fail to grasp the
complexity of the history of the country or the world . . . but
however, we do know the timeline for Empire and the
Sapphire tramps of whatever hood they hail from. Black folks
have unthinkingly calculated that the Right will either; realize
Trump is pimping them for personal profits . . . or, that he’s
a traitor . . . or that obviously he has no character, no morals no
ethics beyond adhering to the noble thought - “life ain't
nuthin’ but bitches and money….”
And
I quote Harriet Tubman: I freed a thousand slaves I could have
freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” I’d
submit that today the 50% of Blacks who were asleep and delusional
that Tubman alluded to well over a century ago . . . , there’s
still a “half” of Black America asleep, delusional, in
denial and disconnected from political and social realities of this
empire.
I’m
going to circle the block again and cite the “The Anger
Games: Who Voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 Election, and Why?”
"For educated liberals, it’s reassuring to think that
white voters who pulled the lever for Donald Trump were simply making
a mistake, and that they would have done better if they had better
understood their own interests. The implication is that, if liberals
do their job properly, the less educated will be better educated in
the future. Once they learn a few basic lessons, they’ll make
better decisions. This paternalism – I can’t see another
good word for it – irritates Trump’s troops and
aggravates their hatred for “cultural elites” and
“political correctness.”
I’m
a Black man living in a nation in-which the average white man
believes belongs solely to them, actually it’s their own
personal country, and they’re standing by their flame-haired
Klansman, strategically siding-with Trump, in the face of him being
a traitor, who’s betrayed the best-interest of America for his
own personal gains, he’s gotten in bed with commie/pinko
Russian oligarch pimps, and yet most of White America is supporting
him for they too have gotten in bed with these thugs - it’s an
orgy of white supremacy. Let’s recognize white America is
turning their backs on their so-called “fellow” Black/
Latino/Native/Asian-American citizens. I.e., Americans of color,
instead choosing white supremacy, and white brotherhood
with Russia over freedom, liberty, equality and justice for all.
Let
me drag the report back in one last time: “liberal denial.”
Liberals in denial know that bullying happens. They see jeering and
bad behavior, but they interpret it as a sign of immaturity, not
meanness. They think that people misbehave mainly when they’re
afraid or confused; that they lash out when they’re misinformed
about the real cause of their troubles. So the liberal solution is
education. Give people who talk like angry bigots the facts, they
think – show them that their fears and hostilities are
misplaced – and they’ll change their ways. . . . In my
opinion that’s very rarely true. But the liberal belief in the
redeeming power of facts is powerful – and that connects
directly to the narrative of the “white working class.”
There’s
not a day go by that my Smart-News feed doesn't offer some
news story about white people dressing as plantation masters, making
a video about how they hate niggers, rubbing some black kids head for
luck, calling the police because a black guy is walking a dog down
their street . . . apparently, just based on the daily news - there
was an inordinate if not unfathomable amount of good ol' boy redneck
hatred embedded within the fabric of White America.
I
believe the combination of ignorance and a lack of hands on
experience with white folks has created a few generations of black
and brown folks who are simply asleep and don’t understand the
bigger picture of the American timeline as well as who and what white
America is capable of.
Rosewood
. . .
The
Republican TEA Party has sold their isolationist souls to the devil,
not tied them to a set of high-minded conservative principles. You
may not get to this . . . but get here; Most of White America, almost
all males and 60% of woman are siding with Putin and the White
Russians. As a people, white America is picking white brotherhood
with Russia, led by a White King who will never stand election, but
instead years from now hand the throne to his son.
Bill
Maher, Omarosa and Michael Cohen believe that, so does Desi Cortez.
Trump
stands to be reelected because white people are “standing by
their Caveman,” regardless of his glaring character flaws and
because of his white supremacy mentality, because he’s striving
to take back their America, make it white again, .
As
we wait for this aspiring emperor to die a death by a 1000 hearings,
as Nancy and the “moderates” task with controlling the
“new uppity" congress membership have taken “Impeachment”
off the table - leaving the fate, destiny and actual physical safety
of Black people is in the undersized hands of Trump.
