Good God White America, Have You People No Decency?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

He’s sold the American Empire out, he’s committed treason, put his personal interest above and beyond that of the country . . . and you people don’t give a damn. It’s OK as long as, in-the-process Lord Trump “makes America white again,” right?

Dear White America, can I get just a moment of your precious time, I’m talking to you proud-ass members of Trump’s good ol’ “real” America, those…

Tear Gas on Families at the Border Today, Bullets Fired at Protesters Across America Tomorrow

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Most White folks in America back this wanna be king. The armed forces and local police obviously and undeniably reflect and embody the coast to coast malice, contempt and hatred for Black folks because these organizations are composed of many angry white people.

How long before this scenario plays out across these so-called United States of America . . . , how long? Not long. The miniature-brained tyrant residing…

Thanksgiving Was the Begining of the End for Folks of Color

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Thanksgiving is honestly, at its core a controversial and convoluted symbolic holiday which celebrates not just religious freedom and liberty . . . for some, but also ushered-in colonialism. T Day equates into and represents the latter creation of a society which sanctioned oppression, repression and forms of genocide!

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac, Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene With a gangsta lean . . . Gangsta…

Black America is Confronted with the Fierce Urgency of Now

By Desi Cortez Columnist

believe America’s illegitimate king, by openly declaring his “nationalist” heart, mind and soul for all the world to see and hear a few weeks ago “awakened” the “dead-heads” in the hood and the barrio, lit a fire under their disinterested behinds and sent scores upon scores to the polls.

King Trump was rightfully kicked in his political testicles on November 6th, 2018, consequently he’s now “post” midterm elections - a mortally wounded caveman. l plead…

Waiting for White America to Develop a Conscience? Don’t Hold Your Breath

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Trump’s America, Trump’s White America harbors no Conscience. And because that's the fact Jack - cities across America ought induce their city councils to create and enact local legislation which dictates there’s no “open harbor,” no “welcome sign” posted outside the city doors for this illegitimate wanna-be tyrannical dictator.

Without question, there’s no debate about it - America is now 11 months pregnant and ready to blow, the demon child of racism, sexism and elitism…

Kaepernick, Tiger, Serena and President Obama: Arguably the Most Hated Black Folks in All White America

By Desi Cortez Columnist

These black Americans represent and embody change, more specifically the exchange of, knowledge, wealth, money, influence and societal clout from one white hand to a hand of color . . . with a fresh manicure of course. Don’t nobody want to grow-up to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent or Donald Trump, for they represent and embody all that is right-wingedly wrong with America.

Last century, back in the 1960’s and 70’s, when I was a mere lad growing-up in the 213, South Central LA, there were, let us say…

The Most Dangerous Place for a Black Person To Live . . . Is in a White Person’s Mind

By Desi Cortez Columnist

White Americans, when they see the raw video footage of the LAPD beating Rodney King damn near to death . . . they see, in their minds a giant unarmed black man meanencing, threatening well-armed police, and that mentatility, that mental picture in their minds serves to rationalize, minimize and ultimately, pathetically justify virtually every police beating this nation’s witnesses on a weekly basis.

This pointiant observation is one I’ve heard highly acclaimed comedian DL hughley employe a few times, and I’ve come to the rock-solid conclusion it’s accurate, precise…

White Trash Trump

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Trump’s mission is to forcibly “make America white again” . . . by any profane, immoral and ungodly means deemed necessary in the eyes of his nameless, soulless, spineless “base”, i.e., white America.

“White Boy Rick” is poised to be a blockbuster movie, while “White Trash Trump” is the real life story of White trash . . . with…

There’s no “I” nor “white people” in “team”

By Desi Cortez Columnist

If now isn’t the right time n’ place to tell it like it really is, then I ask you moderate colored people and you white liberals - when is? When we’re locked-down in internment camps and our kids are in cages? And please don’t tell me Trump’s 'base' isn’t capable of such diabolical and dastardly deeds.

There’s no "I" nor "white people" in "team’" . .. that’s got a prolific, truthful ring to it, no? And it fits since White America has…
