What Would America Look Like If White Folks Had Their Way?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I’d submit, if white Americans had their druthers the USA would go back to 1956 “Sundown Laws” and “curfews” for Blacks . “Don’t let the sun go down and your black ass still be in-town boy!!!” Yes, our children wouldn't be allowed at Disneyland.

I know, I know . . . trust me, I know - white folks, doing as they damn-well please, with no real “civilized” societal checks and…

White America’s New King is Just Looking for a Fight . . . A Global Race War

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Trump is intoxicated with power n’ privilege - a social barfly and a racist, who’s looking for, stewing-for a fight and he knows the bartender, the bouncers and the cops are all on his side.

You don’t have to be clairvoyant, nor a mind-reader to hear and feel the bloody drums of war, to be precise - the drums of a…

White America made a deal with a pompous, racist, sexist, psychotic flame-haired flame throwing caveman… and they’re damn proud of it

By Desi Cortez Columnist

White America’s choice of Trump hammer’s home my contention , as a culture, most of white America has no “conscience,” along with most having no conception of noble notions like, “I am my brother’s keeper,” or “all for one, one for all.”

White America, the hostile, rude, crude, loudmouthed new racial “minority” group in the US. from the everyday average “Seth” and “Mary” representing the run-of-the-mill rank n…

The Democratic Party Should Embrace the 1966 Black Panther Party’s 10 Point Program

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Tragically, without any real debate the document is as relevant today as it was then, just as supposedly the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution are living documents... so too is the Black Panther Party's 10 point program.

When in the course of human events, it become necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to…

By Desi Cortez Columnist

This form of civilization, is alleged to be a “representative democracy” with a form of heavy- handed laissez faire capitalism as the economic engine was meant for ”only” white men to drive, never was the intention to weave into the white fabric of the nation, red, black brown or yellow people.

White America will “give-up” on big “D” Democracy in order to satisfy their deep desire for racial segregation and societal-wide domination, yes you can bet your…

Is a Teacher or Principal Who Supports Donald Trump able to Educate Black Kids?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

I can’t see how Trump-backing educators sincerely want to “enlighten” students of color. I don’t believe the 21st century “Archie Bunker” slice of the American pie, that demographic legitimately has Black and Brown people’s “best interest” at heart.

Can someone be “pro” KKK and also be “Pro” black people?Can you support Donald Trump’s mission, support his quest to “make America White again,” and simultaneously…

My fellow Black Americans . . . . I’m not sure if the barbarians are at the gates of our Black American Empire, but I do…
