Might
it be horrifically appropriate that Tulsa, Oklahoma be the
time n’ place where White folks went “retro,” reverting
back to the vicious and cowardly cold-blooded barbarians
US history can’t help but paint n’ taint them as...
The Killing
Season may be upon us.
I could use this
opportunity here at BlackCommentator.com to discuss
a number of heavy, pressing issues, however, I can’t find
anything more demanding of Black America’s undivided attention
then the White snowball-of-hatred we see gathering steam
and momentum in the form of the random drive-by killings
of Black men by two White men in a pick-up truck.
Predictably,Tulsa
police are reluctant to describe the executions as racially
motivated, but City Councilman Jack Henderson was not.
“Being an NAACP
president for seven years, I think that somebody that committed
these crimes were very upset with black people,” Henderson
said. “That person happened to be a white person, the people
they happened to kill and shoot are black people. That fits
the bill for me.”
Turn off the music,
put down the remote and come over here to the burning bush
of truth and take a look, a long look at the anger and hostility
which has been gathering amongst, and this is significant,
most White folks, not all, but most White folks,
since President Obama moved into the previously Lily White
White House.
Hell, we all sit
here begging the Gods, your God, my God, any God, to keep
a watchful-eye on this man and his beautiful family, because
there are those amongst us who well remember four little
girls who died in a Birmingham church. When White men get
fed up with integration or diversity, no one is safe.
Considering the
race game-changing incidents in Tulsa and Sanford Florida,
and the outpouring of support for George Zimmerman,.along
with the usual level of over-the-top police brutality, everyday
Black commoners n’ peasants had better start watching our
own behinds. Yes, the run-of-the-mill Black person may return
to being the prime target of White hatred, as we were for
decades, centuries in this land.
Stop me when I
start lying. Until then...I’m gonna’ make it rain cold hard
facts up in here.
Here we sit: us
Black folks hopin’, prayin’, n’ wishin’ like hell the, dig
this, “good White folks” protect us from what? From whom?
The majority of White folks who aren’t good? Our fate is
in the hands of pacifists, missionaries, artists, writers,
Hippies and aging Flower Children... confronting the WASP
warrior class - soldiers, policemen, Blue Collar Rednecks...
Un-flippin’ believable
...!
These so-called
liberal cats have proven to have the backbone of Gumby
at critical times. I can’t say I’d like to have these
mellow cats help me fight my way out of a wet paper sack.
Call out the Black
Guard!
Oh yeah, there
ain’t one.
Our lives,and
the lives of our family and loved ones, are in the hands
of your local police, the very individuals Black folks
on a whole fear. Isn’t that one-hell of a contradiction?
Considering the racial cold civil war is heating up - and
there’s no denying that - if there’s ever a reason for Black folks to organize themselves, it is
now, in the face of a nation of semi-hostile “Patriots”
who’ve just fueled the largest purchase of ammunition and
arms by the civilian population. They have a history of
callously murdering Black folks on a level which can only
be described as verging on the edge of genocide.
Call it a 2:37
in the AM wake-your-ass-up call...
Under these adverse
conditions, someone please enlighten me as why some version
of the Black Panthers are not needed in Black neighborhoods
and communities from LA to Charleston Bay? If the Jews can
rightfully and loudly declare “never again!” why can’t Black
folks?
And if half-mad
with blind hatred White men are gunning down Black men today,
it’ll be Brown men tomorrow, and Yellow men the next day.
Little girls n’ boys, old folks the next week.
Bloods, Crips, Vice Lords and Disciples, but down that doo rag and put on
that Black Beret, which has always been the nightmare of
those who want to return to the days when apartheid ruled
the American landscape. There’s always been a fear Black
men would stop rappin’ about and start reading Frederick
Douglass and Malcolm X.
2012, for Black
America it’s the year of the ballot, the bullet or the Passport.
