Unfortunately it seems, we don’t have to work as hard or as long as Hitler and his henchmen. Blacks are shoot dead by law enforcement personnel who are subsequently acquitted. And the president of the US, eyeing his supporters, announces that he has no problems with those arrested taking a few bumps and suffering some bruises. Why treat “them” gently, with compassion, at least? Let’s not mention the word, love.

If there’s one thing the US college bribery scandal has taught us, it’s that everyone is climbing, everyone is climbing that ladder to success—by hook or crook—and in America, over the majority of Americans who’s ancestors built this nation. Whether or not individual Americans profess an oath to uphold the principles of the KKK or any other organized white supremacist group, the laws and policies benefit the wealthy ownership class and white Americans.

Josephine Baker is witness to how America’s cultural narratives, generation after generation, rejecting the reality of black humanity, sanctions a campaign of terrorism against Africans Americans.

In every state of this union we migrants have been We work on the land and we'll fight until we win It's always we ramble, that river and I All along your green valleys I'll work till I die Travel this road until death sets me free Because pastures of plenty must always be free

The artist needs the support of the community, but society conspires against relationships that aren’t acknowledging the centrality of Wall Street and white supremacy, kinship, community. The artist is “removed,” one way or the other, like in any war. He or she “falls silent and the people have lost another hope.”

There’s something to fear when progress means the accumulation of well-lighted plantations. This isn’t the way toward social democracy and justice!

capitalism in America, make no mistake, is nothing short of the promotion of its citizen's acceptance of cruelty and indifference. Going about our business while ignoring the suffering of others struggling to survive within a mileu of systemic injustice, isn't pursuing a life worth living.

That until there no longer First class and second class citizens of any nation Until the colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes Me say war.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the nuns made sure to educate us by presenting us with documentaries featuring the sword - wielding crusaders, ridding the world of evil doers. When it wasn’t the heroic faces of those whose skin matched that of our teachers/religious guardians, the nuns and priests, it was dark-skinned “Africans” we were made to look upon with pity.
