A Mindless, Heartless, Spineless Pinocchio Having His Strings Pulled by the Strong and Powerful Geppetto

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Putin and his puppet are making the world white again, re-entrenching white domination and manipulation of the globes human and natural resources. We have Manifest Destiny and Euro-Colonialism in the 21st century.

Trump’s summit, well gee, it was like watching a mindless, heartless, spineless 72 year-old wooden Pinocchio having his strings pulled by the “strong and powerful” Geppetto,…

Maxine Waters Never Gives Them Hell, She Just Tells Them the Truth . . . and They Think it’s Hell!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Black America, its organizations, institutions and individuals - collectively are being “targeted” by King Trump and his minions. We can’t simply tone-down the rhetoric, watch our words, and take the high road while Trump tunnels-up from his Lake Of Fire Resort . . . He’s not a good white man.

Maxine Waters and the late President Harry S. Truman have something in common . . . this quote: “I never give them hell, i just tell…

If Trump’s Cult Could Wave a Magic Burning Cross

By Desi Cortez Columnist

They’re tired of having to put on a false “color-blind” face and go through the motions of racial tolerance and inclusion. They’ve had enough of being civil and make-believing they see other races of people . . . as people.

If Trump’s cult could wave a magic burning cross . . . Good God!, Can you imagine what they might wish for? I do know exactly…

Trump’s cult? Please! Try Trump’s Klan

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Yes, the hate is great, and it’s blind - we’re all sub-human. History illustrates just that. The deeds of white America, even before the inception of the country, going back to Pilgrims exemplifies that what we’re seeing today is merely . . . ”business as usual.”

Same thing, right? Two sides of the same 1863 Confederate coin? Either way what’s the difference here in Trump’s America, 2018? Dig it, even Republicans are…

How Long Before White America Wakes-Up and Realizes Trump is a Big Apple Pimp, Who’s Pimping Them?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

“what’s best” for the white American elite, or even the White rank n’ file isn’t, dig this - the best thing for the world!” Honestly, catering to the best interest of white America means doing it at the expense of everyone else . . .. the pimping and exploiting of everyone else.

How long? Someone, anyone who has their finger on the heartbeat of white America, which is Trump’s nameless, faceless “base” - how long before before they…

A Black American “Self-Defense Summit” is Desperately Needed!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Black America needs a strategy, a blueprint for survival in an hostile land . . . we can’t simply have our fate lay in the hands of White America, hoping for empathy, sympathy and pity. Hell mofoing no! That’s no plan, that’s suicide via submission. We’re obligated by our creator to defend ours and ourselves, we’ve a right for defend ourselves.

I’ve been pounding-out my humble thoughts - a starving wordsmith, for a few different progressive and serious websites since 2006, I feel like a caramel version…

Trump’s Undisguised and Blunt Message to Black Americans Is . . . “Get Out!!!

By Desi Cortez Columnist

That racist, elitist exclusionary sentiment: 'maybe they shouldn’t be in this country' is widely held and widespread throughout white America. Additionally this 'Klansman wet-dream' about some black exodus, can be, and believe me, is applied-to and pertains-to all black folks, not just black NFL gladiators.

OMG, we Black folks are no longer the noble and decent “opposition,” but rather, now today, in big bad-ass Trump’s America, we’re the non-patriotic, ungrateful “enemy”…

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…
