If America really lived up to its rhetoric about Freedom, Justice, Equality, and Opportunity; I’d be a proud American.
If Feminism really was about liberating women, then I’d be a militant Feminist.
If the Civil Rights Movement was truly about Black Liberation, I’d put
on an ill fitting suit, march with Slick Al and Messy Jessie up and down
the street, and give my all for Civil Rights.
If the Gay Rights Movement was truly about securing justice for people
who’ve historically been excluded from opportunities and open expression
is the society; then I would support the Gay Rights Movement.
If the Immigrants Rights acknowledged and oppose the rampant Racism and
Anti-Blackism in the Caribbean, and in Central and South America, then
I’d support the Immigrants Rights Movement.
If Christianity was
about living a righteous life, helping the poor, and opposing injustice,
then I’d be hoopin and hollerin in the church, I’d be the best
Christian.
If Islam was truly about peace then I’d be in the Masque, wearing a dress, and bumping my head on the floor.
If Capitalism was truly about humanity creativity, ingenuity, and
handwork being rewarded in an open and fair economy, then I’d be a fat
neck Capitalist.
If Liberalism was about helping and empowering
those less fortunate, and being accepting of individual and group
differences in society, then I’d be a smelly, hippie-ass Liberal.
If Conservatism was about sustaining the family, and upholding the
morals and all that is virtuous in society, I’d be a stuffy, tight-assed
Conservative.
If the Spiritualism was truly about finding one’s
center, and cultivating one’s highest self, then I’d be one of them
crazy-talking, ethereal Spiritualist.
If Multiculturalism was
truly about respecting all cultures and coming together based on our
human commonalities and respecting our cultural differences, then I’d be
a tacky dressing Multicultrialist.
But I ain’t with none of
that, and most other shit because I operate off of Radical Analysis, and
Historical assessments; and I know BS when I see and smell it.
