Once
upon a time called right now . . . !
A
century from now, the historians will describe this era of the
Black American experience, say roughly 1980 thru 2020 as a “critical”
moment on the timeline. During the 80’s blatant racism of the
previous century-long “Jim Crow” era had supposedly been
checked - white folks didn’t openly refer to blacks as “boy,””
“gal, “coon” nor Jigaboo. Virtually no “Colored
Only” signs remained hung anywhere . . . but in White folks
minds. The battle was “Institutional Racism”- more
subtle bigotry interwoven into the day-to-day operations of life in
America: The “good” “decent” white man, Jimmy
Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia had been unseated by the first
guy who said they’d “take back America and make it white
again,” Ronnie “666” Ray-gun.
The
“Reagan Revolution” culminated when “King”
Trump and the well-dressed white gangster traitors stole power back.
Trump is the extreme overreaction to a Black man as President. The
“revolt” had life injected back into when Barack Obama
was sworn in as #44. inflamed white “backlash,”
What
time is it?!
Now,
as Trump is beating the hell out of the Democrat Party’s goody
two-shoes opposition, Nancy, Chuck and all the good intentioned
moderate Liberal establishment types are content to show-up at the
“Okey-Dokey” Corral gunfight again Trump and’ his
boys . . . holding not a peacekeeper but instead a “harshly-
worded” email in their hand.
These
spineless and delusional White folks have the destiny, the fate of
the Black American empire in their hands . . . we, as a people ought
to be scared to death.
Why?
Vice
President Joe Biden has said it . . . “ Trump and his boys,
Trump’s millions of supporters deeply yearn to restore “Jim
Crow” laws, if not, if not I say - as Joe said - “put
black folks back in chains.” For some reason we don’t
believe him. Why not?
If
he could, the Grand Pooh-Bah Trump would put Barack Obama in chains.
Here
we sit on that timeline: roughly 400 years of perpetual hell on
earth, enslaved for multiple generations, then placed on the edges of
society as 4th class semi-citizens for about a century. Defending a
nation in world wars . . and still regarded as “worthless
unwanted niggers.
Today,
50 years past the civil rights/Black Power era we find ourselves
still dwelling in an hostile land - our churches are still being
burnt to the ground, we’re still the “last hired and the
first fired”, while the police still “shoot first”
and “ask questions never if they aren’t forced to”
. . .” Corporate America’s glass ceiling is still intact
- despite the Talented Tenth efforts to walk, talk, dress and think
as Ivy League white as we can, assimilate and accommodate our asses
off - twist as Obama did into a pretzel trying to appease and please
mainstream white America . . . it just hasn't worked.
Donald
Trump is the horrific proof.
White
America - based on anger, fear. well earned and quite justifed
paranoia, anger, envy, and once again more even more anger has
installed a communist dictator’s “hand-puppet”, a
“B-list” 2nd tier TV celebrity as “king” of
White America.” A pawn, who’s simply “white trash
with money” but most importantly - he’s racist, sexist,
soul-less aristocratic elitist. Nevertheless, as long as he’s
congratulating bigoted NFL gridiron gladiators like Nick Bosa, and
denigrating Black Power symbols like Colin Kaepernick . . . isultng
Black women like Congresswoman Maxine Waters and calling
Congresswoman Kamalah Harris a “nasty” woman . . .
The
new “Trumpian Party”,” the party of a unindicted
co-conspirator . . . will prodly “stand by“ their
despicable leaders - and his pal Vladdy Putin - before they side with
Americans-of-color. That’s the truth and you know it!
Caucasian
Tribalism defeats American brotherhood! Who knew?
At
this point in the timeline it’s clear White America has
abandoned the idealistic aspirations of the US Constitution and
Bill Of Rights, and instead embraced White privilege and
supremacy. They’ve turned their backs on the “high n’
mighty” minded notion of “Kumbaya” and “We
are the world” - instead at Charlottesville they lite the
tiki-torches and declared to the nation . . . the Ku Klux Klan lives!
in the hearts and minds of most White men - the KKK isn’t
merely a sketch on Stone Mountain as a visual of home-grown white
sheeted terrorists - the Klan is a mindset, a mentality and
perspective which reigns from sea to shining sea, from the
snow-capped mountains of Colorado to the waters of Chesapeake Bay to
Mobile Bay, down in the heart of Ol’ Dixie,
Anti-Black,
Anti-Muslim, Anti-Native folk, Anti-Asian, Anti-Latino, Anti
any woman with a mind and body of her own - these are the
philosophical cornerstones of Trump’s 21st Century
Neo-Confederacy.
Dig
this: the USA is White Nationalism personified. As is
Australia and New Zealand. As was South Africa - the physical
results of European Colonialism.
What
time is it!?
At
this point in the story of Black America - “What are we going
to do?”
What
are “we” black people going to do? No, not what are
white folks going to do for us, but rather what are we going
to do for ourselves, for our children’s children?
Black
America, hear me! “Ask not what white folks can do for us, but
instead what can we do for ourselves . . .” because, most
of white America could give a damn about us. We had better take
control of our destiny, before “fate” takes-a-hand.
Black
Power! Black Power! Black Power! Sometime today, throw that fist high
up in the air and say, loud n’ proud . . . Power to the
people !!! Seize the time!
