White America; So Desperate They’d Make A Deal With The Devil Himself In-Order To Make America White Again

By Desi Cortez Columnist

We need to create family friendly neighborhoods - that starts with a solid education and job opportunities to apply those skills to and earn a bread winner salary. We must practice what we’ve been preaching for 50 years - spend money with other Blacks, invest in Black business operations.

That’s the title of an E-book I’ve had out on Amazon.com, for the last few months, check it out . . . I’m starting to think…

Donald Trump: White Trash With Money

By Desi Cortez Columnist

King Trump is only slightly-more than a high-falutin carnival barker, a “confidence man” dealing in commercial real estate while dabbling down across the river in the trailer park with pro wrestling and the Roller Derby good ol’ boys. Honestly, the grandiose reality show, beauty Pageant pimp con-game he rolled into was a-step-up for Trump.

I don’t know about anyone else in the country, but I want to personally “thank” Donald Trump for being the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic elitist…

Obama Should Declare Martial Law In Chicago – Send In Buffalo Soldiers

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Here at the closing of 2016 Black folks are fighting a two-front war; we’re fighting the everyday average White man, while we’re at war with ourselves.

At this point I believe Trump will win, by “hook or crook,” whatever the hell that means, so I’m preparing for the worst. I’m a realistic…

“A basket of deplorables . . .” if the sheet fits, wear it

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Clearly half of the Republican TEA Partiers are really Neo-Confederates - they have the political/economical and social viewpoints that David Dukes holds dear.

Look, honestly Hillary’s being highly generous if you ask me. Perhaps maybe even magnanimous if you really think about the elements in Donald Trump’s flock. Here’s…

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…

President Obama Goes Delusional As America Goes Tribal – Again -Sharp n’ Blunt

By Desi Cortez Columnist

open your eyes and look around! America’s arguably a land fermenting in turmoil​ and unrest: internally divided along the borders of race, class, gender and religion. This nation is philosophically and geographically “split” - the 1861 Confederacy, which was never ever laid-to rest has been reborn under the camouflage of the Republican TEA party.

Tragically President Obama has gone full-blown delusional. Last week in the aftermath of police assassinations and police murders this nation’s first non-caucasian commander-in-chief suggested the “American…

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…
