'Consumer
Value Stores', now known as the 'CVS Pharmacy', was founded on May
8, 1963 in the township of Lowell, Massachusetts by
Stanley and Sidney Goldstein and Ralph Hoagland.
This company is the second largest pharmacy chain in the u.s. behind Walgreens, and is the second largest u.s. pharmacy based on total prescription revenues. Also, this company has 7,600 stores and is ranked 12th in the world according to Fortune 500 magazine.
A couple of years ago, I walked into one of these establishments in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was in the early afternoon and I was shopping for some items like toothpaste, eye wash and the like. After entering the store, I asked someone who I saw putting merchandise on the shelves which aisle the toothpaste was in. He gave me this deer in the headlights look. After a second, I saw that this was a spanish guy that barely spoke english. "Que?" he asked. So I said, "Donde es la pasta dentifrica?" remembering some of my high school spanish. He responded, “Oh...ocho, ocho.” Then he pointed towards aisle eight. I said “Gracias” and strode to the aisle.
I was looking at the toothpaste display when I felt some eyes on me. When I looked right, I saw this same spanish guy staring at me like I had three heads. I was like, “Que pasa?” and looked right back at him. He left. So I grabbed my toothpaste and kept it movin'. Then I went to the aisle for eyewashes, and sure enough, Julio was lookin' dead at me again like he was half-crazy. I was like okay, this refried bean eatin', leaf blowin' jerk is just following me around the store to make sure I don't steal anything. Mind you, this guy could barely speak english, but he knew that he should follow Black people around the store.
So I went to the manager of the store, who happened to be a dark-skinned asian. When I told him the problem, he said that there'd been a lot of thefts in the store lately. So basically, he was co-signing this spanish guy's B.S. So I took this dumb arab's name down and proceeded to call the regional managers of the store.
It took me about a week to get a response, but one of the regional managers called back and said they talked to this dumb arab manager and the orange-picking spaniard. Then this person apologized about the incident and proceeded to say that they'd issue me a twenty dollar coupon to shop for CVS in the future. I told this regional manager I didn't want a coupon to shop at CVS, I wanted to make sure no Black person went through what I did. They said they understood, but they wanted to make sure I continued shopping at CVS when I told them I'd never set foot in one again. So I told them what they could do was have someone check up on the behaviors of those two miscreants at their store. A couple of weeks later, I did return to the store, not to shop, but to make sure no one followed me around again, and no one did.
And for those of you thinking I should've taken the coupon, what I'd like to point out is, how that's a tactic companies use to smooth stuff over with people having a problem with their practices. And had I taken the coupon, the regional manager would have relayed this to habib and julio, and it would have been an excuse for them to keep up their harassment of Black people coming into that retail space. Moreover, I've seen cases where Black people took these discount coupons behind their harassment, and behind this, the same practices continued...unless our people demanded compensation collectively by way of a lawsuit.
Now, this reminded me of a situation that happened right after I wrote my post titled, 'The conscious stripper, Umar Johnson and the white fascist fear of Black homeschooling'. In that post, I spoke about how the Umar Johnson scandal had been staged, and how Umar and Khym Ringgold, were both white supremacist freemasons tasked with dissuading the Black Diaspora from opening Black Nationalist-oriented, independent schools that don't teach our children to hate themselves. And a couple of funny things happened behind my writing that post, and one of them was, Khym Ringgold sent me a 'friend request' on Facebook...as seen below. (If you'd like to see the Facebook 'friend request' a bit better, just click on it).
I shook my head.

(If you'd like to see the Facebook 'friend request' a bit better, just click on it).
I shook my head.
Then after a couple of seconds, I realized what she was doing...she was employing the same tactic CVS had.
See, had I accepted ms. thing's Facebook request, what it would have done was discredit everything I'd written about her and Umar Johnson. It would have said to anyone coming to my Blog, that I wasn't really serious about the allegations I made against either one of them. Moreover, it would've taken all the credibility out of everything I wrote on this blog.
It would've made me look like an opportunist at best and a Black Nationalist fraud at worst.
The game these white supremacist freemasons are playing is chess not checkers.
Needless to say, I deleted this tramp's 'friend request'.
Now, let me make something emphatically clear...do I think any white supremacist freemasonic organization is really gonna' give a damn about what I'm doing on this blog?
HELL NO!
But I'll tell you this, after I wrote that post, several of my post headers started disappearing, along with several pictures concerning anything to do with my talks about white supremacist freemasonry. Even two of the pics for my e-books on this Blog's 'sidebar' had vanished. Also, I had been mysteriously signed out of my Twitter, Facebook and Flickr accounts that were directly connected to this blog. So while understanding that no white freemason is gonna' lose any sleep over my Blog, I also understand that I'm definitely a bit more on their radar than I was before.
So if you see any gross inconsistencies on this Blog in the future, like the ones I've listed above, know that it's not my doing. Meaning, I'm not gonna' put out a post without a proper header, or leave my blog in any kind of disarrayed state. Cause I do care deeply about how my blog is presented to the public, and I hope that sentiment comes across whenever people who frequent this blog come back to visit.
So, three things I'd like to state clearly about the Umar Johnson 'scandal' are...
One: THE SAME WHITE SUPREMACIST FREEMASONS WHO ARE PAYING UMAR JOHNSON, ARE ALSO PAYING KHYM RINGGOLD, A.K.A. THE CONSCIOUS SKANK, I MEAN STRIPPER.
Two: NEITHER UMAR JOHNSON NOR KHYM RINGGOLD ARE VICTIMS OF THIS 'SCANDAL', 'CAUSE AGAIN, THEY BOTH PERPETRATED THIS FRAUD AGAINST THE BLACK DIASPORA!
Three: UMAR JOHNSON AND KHYM RINGGOLD PERPETRATED THIS SCANDAL SPECIFICALLY TO DISSUADE OUR PEOPLE FROM PULLING OUR KIDS OUT OF WHITE FASCIST SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
And if you think my saying the white elite are hell-bent on keeping our children from going to schools where they'll get a pro-Black education is false, just look at what's happening to Atlanta's 'Morris Brown College'.
Morris Brown College is one of this country's oldest Black colleges and is facing foreclosure. In 2012, this college was set to have its assets auctioned off. And more recently, an abandoned wing of the college mysteriously went up in flames. And almost every other HBCU is under this kind of financial attack.
Now, inside all these sordid storm clouds lies a very shiny, silver lining. And that's this...
white fascists are making two very clear points behind these actions, and one is that the most effective way they keep our Diaspora in cycles of self-hatred, is through their curriculums in (mis)educational institutions. And two is, the best way to get our Diaspora out of a self-hating mind state, is to send our children to independent, pro-Black oriented schools.
So, in a very inadvertent way, white fascists are telling us what we need to do to escape this kind of mental tyranny.
We got our work cut out for us family...'cause like I said previously, with white birth rates falling below replacement levels, whitey's workin' overtime to get rid of us through multiple initiatives.
And since whitey's showin' us what we need to do...LET'S BE ABOUT THAT WORK ASAP!
BLACK NATIONALIST-ORIENTED SCHOOL CIRRICULUMS AND BLACK HOMESCHOOLING...NOW THAT'S WHAT'S UP!!
And like Sam Jackson said in 'Do the Right Thing': “That's the double truth, Ruth!”
Later...

I can't say I am surprised. And to think I myself was a follower of Umar Johnson.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did you watch the trailer for that new movie "The Perfect Guy" starring Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut and Michael Ealy? Sounds like another incarnation of "No Good Deed"
'Albert'...
DeleteUmar Johnson shouldn't be the Black Diaspora's main concern, thwarting the white fascist agenda he's following should be. This man is just being used by white freemasons to dissuade us from pulling our kids out of schools that will ultimately teach them to hate themselves.
No, I haven't watched the trailer for this flick, but if it's coming out of the Hollywood system, you know it's not gonna' portray us in any kind of a positive light.
