Trump: The “Great White Hope” Is a Dope, Alas Merely “White Trash” with Money

By Desi Cortez Columnist

What are we, the unwanted and disrespected black and brown Americans facing? A racist/sexist and elitist empire, composed of millions of white people, with their eyes wide-open who’re standing firmly beside, behind and yes 'in front' of their 'great white hope' - willing to take all incoming flack, to save the 'King of White people,' Donald Trump.

There’s a couple of critical points Americans of-color ought walk-away with from having endured the first 500 days or so, (give a insult, slight or crime)…

Kanye West -The White President’s House Negro

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Kanya, you’re now the official “black-face” of the 21st century “Sellout.” A negro who comes with a price tag. A hustler willing to get in bed with the devil, do a little dance with the devil . . . in pursuit of enhancing your brand, deepening your already deep pockets.

Think pet, possession, personal belonging . . . a personal asset used to divide and conquer. I’d bet my last, bottom dollar Kanye West would put…

The NFL Assist In the Silencing of Black Opinion and Dissent

By Desi Cortez Columnist

The NFL finances the silencing of Black opinion and dissent - be it the branding, barring and banning of Colin Kaepernick or the underwriting of AM Hate radio.

The following letter was sent to the Denver Broncos and NFl Corporate offices. Good day /Denver Broncos There’s no real debate to be had, no real…

Will America Explode if Trump and Hannity are Hanged for High Treason?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Please forgive me all you angry white folks across the land who don’t want to hear that type speculation, but the comedy/horror flick has an espionage twist riddled throughout the tall-tale.

What happens to this already highly flammable, if not combustible divided nation if Lord Trump, and his personal Hobbit, Sean Hannity, along with their wives and…

Racial and Cultural “Irreconcilable Differences” Will Sabotage 21st Century America

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Why can’t we ship, pay for, offer a vast array of financial/educational incentives to leave - to the most disgruntled and combustible white folks, the 'Archie Bunker' clones to Australia, Poland, Eastern bloc countries, . . . Russia, where they might feel more comfortable in a land relatively devoid of black and brown people?

Donald Trump isn’t the real problem, he’s a manifestation of the problem. The problem is most, if not the vast majority of white men can’t, won’t,…

America, This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land… Yeah Right, Sure!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

400 years of either slave labor or damn-near free labor provided at slave wages. Asians were pimped and exploited to build the intercontinental railway and all women, even snow white and Cinderella were kept barefoot and pregnant, i.e., dumb n’ dependent. This is the “good ol’ days” that Trump and his supporters long for.

Improvise, adapt overcome . . . that’s what we were forced to do with our 2018 Spring Break family vacation. See, Mother Nature, Mother Earth and…

White Women Will Stand by Their Men

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I believe their personal destiny and financial fate is tied-to White men, and out of pure self-interest they will let us all suffer, to save themselves and their privilege.

Only Trump’s treasonous Uncle Tom's can save Black America . . .. Let’s not jack around, for we’ve not the time. Look, I’m just going to…

Trumpism Ignores “Your Heroes are not Always Mine . . . .”

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I deem Frederick Douglass, Che Guevara, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba, Harriet Tubman and Nelson Mandela as heroes, just as I regard Black Panthers Huey P Newton, Bobby Seale and Soledad sister Angela Davis as true, legit, all-American heroes. Individuals who are merely guilty of 'fighting the power.'

This common-sense perspective seems like an extremely difficult concept for Trump’s America to grasp, as if it’s prehistoric chinese science equations. Just say Columbus wasn’t a…

America: Live by the Gun . . . Die by the Gun

By Desi Cortez Columnist

weapon manufacturers are never, ever happy nor content with their sales and profits, and of course this nation’s “investor class”

As a starving wordsmith I pound-out this poignant point each and every time the cocktail conversation stops upon “mass murders” and gun safety; you’ll never take-away…

Black Olympians The Time is “Now” for Black Power Salutes . . . Seize the Time

By Desi Cortez Columnist

The time is now for “Black Power” to rise-up and be heard. We Black folks must get comfortable with “Black Power” - it’s both acceptable and logical to want it, and use it. It’s ok to throw your fist up, for we are a people under attack, in a hostile land.

Donald Trump’s extremely “White” House has deliberately turned a deaf-ear, blind-eye, and cold-shoulder to the plight of Americans of color. There is a legitimate concern throughout…
