SHOW ME THE MONEY

 All of the US police unions (even in liberal central NY and LA) are squarely in 45’s corner but the money that buys off both parties commands the DNC to make sure that its candidates stay mum on all of it; 


yet liberals STILL expect a record turnout of Black folk in swing states to turn the tide of the election once again.


And the hashtags with impunity happen all over America - including the swing states. Commonsense tells me that if I wouldn’t vote even if in a swing state, even knowing that a 2nd term is at stake, then why would they?


And I fully understand Black folk spouting Rock the Vote as opposed to leverage the vote, since it follows their white liberal media masters guidelines. Been there and done that.


And when they lose...again, their media will have their blame-game scapegoats in full effect to deflect from the obvious:


It’s white women who ignore trumps misogyny. It’s poor conservatives who vote against their own interests to feel good about their whiteness once again. 


It’s Black voters in swing states who once again didn’t show up en-masse like they did for Obama. It’s that darned electoral college system which we NEVER get around to abolishing.


It’s the Russians who’ve hijacked our elections! It’s all of the Black folk secretly in league with 45. (That last one is kinda laughable, but it’s successfully put out there when anyone questions the system itself).


They used to do that in the mid 20th century as well. If you wanted to unionize, you weren’t really an American but a commie pinko etc. and we fall for it every time.


So not only can the outcome be predicted, commonsense tells us the excuses that will be made for it and what will happen when we question these lame, predictable narratives. If only we’d listen.


It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us.


Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSUASION AND CONVICTION Decades ago, in my teens, my oldest brother and I had a talk where I said, “Can you believe that they’re having another gay pride parade?” He told me that he participated in a gay pride parade. Then we just stared at one another - and because many don’t know how to communicate without language, I will translate: Me: (But you’re not gay) Him: (True, but our struggle is their struggle and theirs is ours) Me: (Hmmm. Now I have to rethink everything because this is my brother whom I love challenging my core beliefs). I was persuaded that day. Today, my brother is long dead but I’m still reposting. That’s called CONVICTION.

SO WHERE’S THE UPROAR…?

 So where is the uproar when not one but two Black women world champions bow out from their sport because of the racist media for health reasons?  Their media of course focuses in on the “health reasons“ but we all know the truth!  Did Michael Jordan put a black tape over his mouth to stop speaking to the racist press for health reasons? Did Eddie Murphy only give interviews with Bryant Gumbel because of the racist press for health reasons? When we look at the interviews at the races press conducted with Mohammed Ally, they’re all about how he’s slowing down. No one mentions how our government took three years from him while he was in his boxing Prime! White people, boy! Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS

WE DEAL WITH RACISM ON ALL FRONTS We deal with systemic racism on all fronts. We mentor; we start programs to protect our kids; we fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces who funnel in the drugs and the guns with impunity then lock up our kids for having (or using) them. And where do kids get guns for drive-bys? (Rhetorical) And do an inordinate amount of crimes occur in Black spaces in Baltimore and Detroit and L.A. as opposed to NY because Black folk in our city have more character and higher morals? (Also rhetorical) It’s because cops are not allowed to pump these things in here! We do have CHILD rape rings here which rival Florida, Texas and possibly even California (California is a dense, big state). We need to fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres patrolling and brutalizing Black spaces! And regarding the white people and the Black folk who worship them who aid systemic racism through complicity, ignorance and arrog...
