Taking such positions as; “that’s just the way the world is,” or “it’s all about dollars, if you ain’t got money, then you can’t do nutthin,” or “you just gotta worry about you and yours, and let the world take care of itself,” is not a sign of maturity, or coming to terms with reality; it is pure surrender. People make defeatist statements, and repeat tired cliches when they meet...
Who has the longest life expectancy in the US? Who is the least likely to live in poverty, be incarcerated, be a victim of violent crime, or be accidentally shot by a cop? Who stood by (and even participated) when thousands of Black men were lynched to protect her purity? Who has never been drafted to fight in a war, or watch their sons suffer from mass criminalization and incarceration? Who has the largest voting demographic in this nation,...
The violence that plagues our community right now is a result of the whole ‘love thy enemy’ philosophy. They only way to love thy enemy is to 'hate thy self.’ We are absorbing the violence and hostility that others have generated within our children. We have deified a man who told us to allow others to spit on us, beat our women, bomb our churches, and murder our children in cold blood. We were told that we gained all that we...
The only way for corrupt civilizations to subdue humane civilizations is through sheer brutality, not superior intellect or even superior technology; but superior aggression. Western Civilization is nothing more the high-tech barbarism.

We have a Black population who both; support voting and democracy, and self-identify as minorities. What’s the hell! You will never win, you will always suffer atrocities and injustice, you will be voting, protesting, marching, and praying for another 300...
I am so sick of folks talking about people died for us to vote! No one died for the vote. The struggle for the vote was part of a larger strategy; the vote was a means to a greater end, just like marching, sitting in, boycotts, protest, riots, and petitioning. Our ancestors were struggling for resources, power, and justice. That was the goal; everything else was a tactic, a tool, or a strategy! Don’t ever fix your mouth to say someone...
Sunlight, air, water, and land are all free, abundant, and regenerating. They are the source of all life and sustenance. We are the only living creatures who pay for access to them. We pay other people who have fenced off the land, bottled up and dammed the water, put restrictions on air space, and charge us for solar energy (i.e. food). We have been forced to exit the ecology and live within an economy; the economy is a fiction with fake money...
