What “America” Does Trump’s “Cult” Wish, Pray and Dream-Of?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

the “Right” apparently believes terms like “unity,” “diversity,” “equality” and “inclusion” are today, in 21st century America, “dirty” words, “fightin’” words in the intolerant minds of America’s vast white population.

I’ve got what I calculate is a “legitimate and pressing question for Trump’s America...” Those European Americans who’ve anointed themselves as the only true, legit 100%…

It’s Time to Replace “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” with “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Look, we need a rapturous rallying call, we need something that we can belt out with conviction, passion, and enthusiasm, all be on the same chapter n’ verse. Sing with confidence, not fear of forgetting the next word.

Oh Why Can’t the Blind See?!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I understood Obama’s Black reign of socialist terror had created this delusional perception across White America that the sky was falling,

I’m sorry, but no, I’m not a Nawleans Creole sorcerer nor a “Good book” toting (Gucci wrapped) Pentecostal “showtime” prophet...but merely an engaging contemporary agnostic Aquarian…

In an Extremely Divided America Marijuana Is a Unifying Force

Black, White, Brown Red, and Yellow. The rich, the poor, Baptist and Atheist, urban, suburban, male-female, East Coast/West Coast, up North, down South, straight/gay, bottom, top… Seriously people from all walks of life are defending and justifying Weed.

Ol’ Glory Should Be Flown Upside Down This 4th – America Is in Distress

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Perhaps we are witnessing the beginning of the end of White domination, the “last stand” and “fall-out” of European Conquest… or this is the beginning of “Minority Rule” in America and Trump’s Troops will ram down our throats their way of life.

I've read numerous iconic quotes throughout my caramel life, and I have my personal gems and jewels - powerful words, ranging from Frederick Douglass, and Dr.…
