Standoff at Standing Rock: Trump Speaks with Forked Tongue

By Desi Cortez Columnist

They’re “elitists” who are trying to ram this pipeline down the throats of a proud and noble people who have fought European genocide efforts for half a millennium.

It’s no shock most Americans of color find the hallowed words of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights to be mighty,…

We Don’t Know White People Very Well, Do We?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence tactically refused to distance themselves from the robed good ol’ boys and that loyalty endeared them to the . . . millions and millions . . . and millions of Rednecks and Crackers tired of hiding in plain sight.

What time is it?! Over the next 175 days, commencing circa “right now” on through to inauguration day and beyond - the initial 100 day run…

The “Colored Only” and “No Dogs/Mexicans Or Jews Allowed” Signs Are Being Dusted Off!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Donald Trump has succeeded in 'making America White again,' now exactly what that means, what all that entails . . . who the hell knows. What we do know is; the angry White backlash has slapped the Black out of the White House . . . pun intended.

As much as I knew this sobering Presidential outcome was inevitable . . . I’m at an unprecedented loss of words, because just as I saw…

Dear Lord, Deliver Us From Evil (Donald Trump)

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I submit, for Donald Trump to be rejected, denounced and shunned by “most” of White America, they’d have to have a collective conscience, and I’d argue even half-a-century later - they’ve no conscience.

Evil . . . profoundly immoral and malevolent - additional synonyms: wicked, bad, wrong, immoral, sinful, foul, vile, dishonorable, corrupt, iniquitous, depraved, reprobate, villainous, nefarious, vicious,…

How Can Americans of Color Ever “Trust” White Folks Again?”

By Desi Cortez Columnist

There’s a justifiable fear as-to what deplorable depths the angry WASP population will drag this nation down into. What is America, the land of the free, home of the brave going to transform/regress into?

I’m asking all Americans of color, be you Black, Brown, Red or Yellow, along with American Muslims of all colors and even independent minded, enlightened White…

Trump’s Black Political Hoes Need Their Weaves Yanked Off

By Desi Cortez Columnist

We, as Black-Americans must hold ourselves to some measure of righteousness, by holding these more-than-willing political pawns be held to some measure of accountability, answer ability and liability for the treasonous act of offering Trump shelter from incoming truths and providing . . . for a price, shade, cover and camouflage.

And here I thought “Condi” Rice, Armstrong Williams, Reverend Jesse Peters and Herman Cain were the personifications of ONGP (Official Negro Governmental Prostitutes.”) I believed Condi…

White America; So Desperate They’d Make A Deal With The Devil Himself In-Order To Make America White Again

By Desi Cortez Columnist

We need to create family friendly neighborhoods - that starts with a solid education and job opportunities to apply those skills to and earn a bread winner salary. We must practice what we’ve been preaching for 50 years - spend money with other Blacks, invest in Black business operations.

That’s the title of an E-book I’ve had out on Amazon.com, for the last few months, check it out . . . I’m starting to think…

Donald Trump: White Trash With Money

By Desi Cortez Columnist

King Trump is only slightly-more than a high-falutin carnival barker, a “confidence man” dealing in commercial real estate while dabbling down across the river in the trailer park with pro wrestling and the Roller Derby good ol’ boys. Honestly, the grandiose reality show, beauty Pageant pimp con-game he rolled into was a-step-up for Trump.

I don’t know about anyone else in the country, but I want to personally “thank” Donald Trump for being the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic elitist…

Obama Should Declare Martial Law In Chicago – Send In Buffalo Soldiers

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Here at the closing of 2016 Black folks are fighting a two-front war; we’re fighting the everyday average White man, while we’re at war with ourselves.

At this point I believe Trump will win, by “hook or crook,” whatever the hell that means, so I’m preparing for the worst. I’m a realistic…

“A basket of deplorables . . .” if the sheet fits, wear it

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Clearly half of the Republican TEA Partiers are really Neo-Confederates - they have the political/economical and social viewpoints that David Dukes holds dear.

Look, honestly Hillary’s being highly generous if you ask me. Perhaps maybe even magnanimous if you really think about the elements in Donald Trump’s flock. Here’s…
