Burn Baby Burn...!

 


"We’ve no other options than to throw our fist up
in the air and wave them around like we do care,
like we do have our lives to defend, our children's
futures to defend,  and shout from the mountain top.
Power to the people! All Power to the people!!!"


Americans of color and “enlightened” White folks appear to be self ordained, driven, if not destined to drag this racially polarized decadent empire into the 21st century - more power to them. And if that means igniting the nation’s urban metropolises to do so, so be it.

If not now, when?

If not over George Floyd’s execution, then over whose? Your son or daughters, or his, or hers, or mine.

If not right here and now, then when and where?

And by the way - it does appear the Revolution is being televised, no?

America is confronting its 400 year-old demons, and their names are Donald Trump. William Barr and Mitch McConnell, these are the contemporary figureheads, the three-headed dragon who heads up the Invisible Empire of angry White men who are demented and dogmatically determined to turn-back the hands of time, turn-back the clock on human rights - in an misguided effort to return this country to the glory days of White domination and supremacy, and please note, they are willing to do it, to accomplish their goal . . . by any diabolical and twisted means they deem necessary.

According to new polls, 90% of the GOP is standing behind their man.

They’re more than willing to rip the clock off the wall to maintain illegitimate minority power and control over a nation, where in the 21st century, folks of color are the new majority.

They are not, I repeat are not playing by the rules. They could give a damn about this nation’s high n’ mighty pretty words which can be found in the Declaration of Independence the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. Those rules were set-up, structured and somewhat adhered-to when the US was ruled solely by White men, but, today, now that you n’ I no longer “know our subservient 4th class place,” and no longer adhere-to and abide-by their demands and are instead demanding our humanity be recognized and respected . . . all bets are off. They’re taking-off the gloves and are willing to do any damn thing to return this nation to the “good ol’ days of “American Apartheid.”

As butt-naked Emperor Trump has stated; he wants to “dominate” the country. Dominant is but another term for “supremacy,” White supremacy. As most of us know that is the message this racist, sexist and elitist demagogue ran on: taking-back “their” country and making it 1953 White again.

The only answer to Trump’s “last stand” is to fight back. Take to the streets, march, protest, sit-in and demand justice and equality.

Look, White American culture needs a reformation, that moment when a people pull their collective heads out of their asses and realize the whole wide world isn’t lying - our charges of white America waging genocide, economically pimping and exploting the little people and the never ending charges of dehumanizing tactics being utilized by the police - are all-so true and accurate.

Yes, you people, white people have a tail the devil himself would be jealous of. White people, White America, white men specifically and particularly are behaving as arrogant, pompous, disconnected from the realities of the nation, if not the world - a world which is still today reeling from over half-a millennium of unchecked European Colonialism and centuries of America’s disgusting concept of “Manifest Destiny” - that tyrannical notion that the world, the entire globe is yours, belongs to White people personally, and that your whims and wishes - all the grand wet-dreams of White men who’re drunk with ill-gotten power are legitimate desires and ought come true like a scorned school boy’s hopes of everyone recognizing you are king of the world.

Well it ain’t gonna happen, not without resistance boys, not without resistance. Black, Red, Brown and Yellow folks - Americans of color, along with our Liberal and Progressive-minded white allies aren't going quietly into the night, no instead we’re going to dig-in and fight-back - as we should, as we have over history. We’ve no choice, Trump’s minions and his filled with blind hatred rank n’ file rednecks are warming-up the ovens, getting Hitler’s gas chambers dusted-off ready to go.

We’ve no other options than to throw our fist up in the air and wave them around like we do care, like we do have our lives to defend, our children's futures to defend, and shout from the mountain top - Power to the people! All Power to the people!!!
