This is democracy in America; there were 3 votes against lynching and several dozen in favor of it. Lynch Mobs are as democratic as you can get. In democracy; minority means loser. 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...

We are all accustomed to famous entertainers and athletes (I don’t really like separating entertainers from aesthetes because they are both entertainers; but...
You know, at the end of World War II, and the liberation of the Concentration Camps; the Russians began to gather Nazi camp guards and soldiers together and march them off to prisoner of war camps. Some of the Soviet soldiers observed that there were still some Jews among the guards, that those Jews had come to identify so strongly with the Nazis that they wanted to share the same fate as their oppressors, even if that meant dying in a Soviet...
Why is it when a poor Black man from the ghetto asserts that he can’t do right because the White man won’t let him, all you Uppity Negros get angry and condemn him; but when Obama asserts that he can’t do right by his supporters because of the White Republicans; you MFers cry tears for him and viciously attack his critics? You Obama Flavored KoolAid Drinkers cry about poor Black men “killin’ each otha,” in...
Black people are awakening, we are moving towards liberation and independence; we are starting to look beyond the stolen land we now call the United States and see that we have a global family, and we are seeing the necessity of unifying and organizing this planetary family. The only problem is that our rate and levels of Pan-African Awakening is outpaced by the Omnicidal destruction being caused by the System of White Global Domination, and...
I heard on NPR (I know, this invalidates the rest of my statement, anyone who gets their sport info from NPR shouldn’t be posting about sports; but I’ll still proceed,)…this morning that the Bulls lost another game to the Heat. I’ve seen relatives, friends, and associates here in Chicago get so hype and invested in these series of games. I’ve seen emotions range from Joy & Enthusiasm to Despair & Anger....
