By Desi Cortez Columnist

Donald Trump is Public Enemy #1 as far as most Americans of color should be concerned. matter-of-fact, this sacrilegious, diabolical narcissistic madman honestly has the world’s fate in his little ungodly hands.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous White man alive. Enlighten me as to who can be considered more dangerous, more of a threat to the basic…

America’s 10 months Pregnant . . . Ready To Blow!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Martial law will be declared in cities across the land, the roundups will commence within Trump’s first 100 days when he knows he’s got “momentum.” I’m writing this, you’re reading it . . . we’re both unpatriotic Americans as far as Trump’s Storm Troopers are concerned.

Instead of Reverend Al Sharpton coming in the side door of the Black House, we’ll have Grand Master Poobah David (“KKK) Duke coming in the front…

Uniformed Cops with Guns – Symbolic of Absolute, Audacious White Power. To Hell With Ol’ Glory and a Bald Eagle

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Inferior educations, no jobs, cutthroat capitalism at play, societal exclusion and police brutality translates into millions of Black folks who with little to no hope of a better tomorrow just don’t give a damn - then there’s nothing to gain and not a damn thang to lose.

One must ponder, and I do, could this nation, and specifically “White America” be honestly, legitimately “shocked” by the tragic police murders in Dallas? Let me…

White Flight On A Global Level

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Evidently the Redneck mentality has gone global. Hitler's Third Reich never died . . . it lives on in England and Mississippi, tell me I’m lying!

“Make America White again,” “make Great Britain White Again.” And while they’re at it angry, hostile White people will be making a few other European nations…

Donald Trump . . . Merely White Trash With Money

By Desi Cortez Columnist

How can people of color be “blindsided” by what is quickly becoming a nation-wide “White backlash” for which Trump is the people’s champion. That’s White people’s champion. For everyone else who isn’t White - this is the beginning of a national nightmare.

“President Trump . . . .” It seems a multitude of Black Americans are “shocked” this hospitality and lodging hustler, who occasionally lives above a saloon/gambling…

Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, not yours!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Ali was man of defiant action. By not going to Vietnam, to “strike” on demand, by not doing this bloody empire’s dirty work. Ali made it clear he wasn’t that quiet, humble, docile, mindless killing machine which attacks only when his massa instructs him to. Ali defiantly lived, demonstrated, and endured, as did Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, and Angela Davis - because he made a stand, a stand which has forever endeared Muhammad Ali to millions, and millions all around the world, to the four-corners of the globe.

Black folks owe this man, Muhammad Ali so much . . . never was so very much owed by so very many … to merely one…

How Could Black Folks Abdicate Educating Our Children to White Missionaires?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

“If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself.

I’ve spent years in an urban “Black n’ Brown” school district, arguably the worst between LA and KC. Of course the schools are economically segregated and…

You Black Folks Voting For Hillary, You’re Making A Monumental Mistake

By Desi Cortez Columnist

The Ol’ School Black “establishment” falling in-line behind HRC is because so-many, if not all are beholding-to the Clinton machine, and they want to stay-in the good favor of the entrenched political power structure. However their alignment with her doesn’t benefit us, the little Black n’ Brown people.

My folks raised-me-up to “tell the truth,” they didn’t say to worry too-much about folk’s soft Michael Jackson/Melissa Harris Perry type “cashmere” feelings in that pursuit…

On the Behalf Of all Americans of Color,Thank you Mr Trump

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Trump's told the burning bush truth, at least the Euro-American’s version of current affairs, and I thank him for that honesty, be it based in arrogance or ignorance.

On the behalf of all Americans of color, every single one of us . . . I’d like to tender to Donald J. Trump a sincere…

Trump has the Support of the Police, the Army and the Klan . . .Oh Why Can’t the Blind See?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I’d venture to say, this angry WASP backlash is hyper-escalating at scary-ass pace. The Johnny Reb’s coming back-to-life in front of our eyes, like Frankenstein.

Lord Trump has the backing and support of the US military veterans, local police departments across the land, and he’s garnered the endorsement of the Klan.…
