Memorial Day’s massive shootings and the “3” tenets of white fascism

Family, about a week ago, I was thinking my next post should definitely tackle the subject of religion and its effects on the Indigenous Black peoples of America. This is when I got wind of the 12 mass shootings which happened over the course of this Memorial Day weekend. Now, I’m still gonna’ tackle the subject of religion in this post, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the elephant in the room, which is this summer's spate of massive gun homicides. Mind you, a couple of posts back, when I said this was gonna’ be a “killing season”, I didn’t realize how prescient a statement this was.

Now, what’s most important is putting all this in perspective--meaning, there’s actually a silver lining to the storm clouds of these gratuitously egregious killings—and before you accuse me of sippin’ on lean or somethin’, lemme make these points clearer using the "3" tenets of white fascism, which are...

Tenet#1: Fear

First off, these killings are being allowed to flourish to keep America’s Indigenous Black populations traumatized--basically y'all, this is being done to keep our communities destabilized, 'cause in accordance with white fascist doctrines, when you want to better control any organism or organization, you throw it into chaos, and keep it there, until you offer the "target" a solution which fits your agenda. 

                        Tenet#2: Militarized law enforcement 

Family, these mass shootings are being used to reinforce reasons why American law enforcement shouldn’t be “defunded”. Remember the campaign to defund the police y’all? Welp, these mass shootings and incidents like the “smash and grab” mobs which seemed to disappear overnight (?), are “psy-ops” to keep white fascist institutions like the police not only operational, but loaded to bare with whatever kind of resources they need to keep up their campaigns of domestic terrorism on US. 

Tenet#3. Genetic survival

Understand, the real reasons whitebois, who're cops, are letting other inbreds shoot up churches and schools indiscriminately, is to put everyone on notice of who’s really got the artillery to not only wage some kind of revolutionary war, but to stay in a position of power in this country. Conversely, whitey's also letting these shootings happen to hide the most OBVIOUS TRUTH OF THEM ALL, which is...wHITEY CAN'T WIN A FIGHT WITH INDIGENOUS BLACK MEN WITHOUT WEAPONS! 'Cause just like I showed you in my last post with the example of James Shaw Jr., who disarmed one o' them whiteboi shooters--when they're without their high-powered rifles, or when they gotta' throw down wit' their bare hands, they're light work for the average brotha. Topping this off, whitebois--especially elitist crakas, not only realize they're the new American minority, but they know they're being bred outta' existence globally, which makes them even more "trigger-happy" around US. 

So you may be asking, what’s the silver lining in this situation? It's this y'all…the more the white fascist American social order REJECTS Black people, THE STRONGER IT'LL MAKE US! Meaning, the more oppressive and antagonizing this country gets towards us, the more we’ll be forced into unifying with each other, and the quicker we’ll be able to liberate ourselves from the tyrannies of white fascism. Now, you might be thinkin’, I don’t follow you bruh. Well, lemme put it this way…

UNITY IS THE STRONGEST WEAPON WE HAVE IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST wHITE FASCISM!

So the quicker we UNIFY, INSULATE, AND WILLINGLY SEPARATE OURSELVES from whitey’s American social order, the BETTER OFF WE’LL BE. Now, lemme define what I mean by “willingly separate” fam’—I’m not talking about goin’ back to Africa y’all, ‘cause we’re the ONLY PEOPLE INDIGENOUS TO AMERICA. I’m not even necessarily talking about physically moving from where we’re currently living, ‘cause America’s communities are already segregated. What I’m talking about is EXCHANGING AND CIRCULATING OUR RESOURCES WITH EACH OTHER (ALMOST) EXCLUSIVELY, like we did during “legalized” segregation, so we can survive and thrive like we did BEFORE INTEGRATION. This way, we won’t need chez whitey for nothin’—we’ll be FORCED into being completely autonomous. Mind you, traumatic events like mass shootings and losing access to necessary resources, are the only way we’re gonna’ separate from mr. whitefolks, ‘cause quite frankly, the majority of our people are still too in love wit' mr. charley to leave 'em—and this applies to ALL BLACK PEOPLE, FBA OR NOT!

So, let’s not get too emotionally involved in the mass shooting sprees we see happening around the country y'all. Instead, let’s keep focused on the goal of UNITY AND BLACK NATION-BUILDING, so we can stay clear-headed and EVEN-TEMPERED for the work we'll need to do in the future.

Part 2.

Damning the "Curse of Ham"

Family, no matter which Black neighborhood you go to in America, you’re guaranteed to find one commonality—there’s a church on every corner. Now, decades ago, the church was a place where our people could get resources like food, cloths, emergency shelter, and even money for bills. So, it had its communal benefits--but with the advent of “prosperity preaching” and government funding, the church was quickly turned into a kind of weekly fashion show, and a haven for oversexed Black women and homosexual Black men. Mind you, this is but one of the reasons for my writing about this topic--but mostly, it’s because of a certain incident I recently remembered.

Almost a year ago, I was speaking to one of my co-workers, who just happened to be a Black male Christian, and this guy told me in a casual conversation, “The devil operates with impunity.” Then, he asked me, “…uh, what does impunity mean?” I just shook my head and walked off. A week later, I saw this same guy talking to another brotha, and he was saying, “Black people are...” Then he sighed, before uttering, “…the Transatlantic Slave trade and the curse of Ham…” Now, not only was he taught this over the course of several decades, but he internalized it as the “gospel truth”—and you could see the inferiority complex it gave him, ‘cause he wore it like a cheap suit. Saddest part of all is, this guy had no alternative facts to debunk this misinformation with, and he wasn’t looking for any. His faith, pretty much doomed him to a mediocre life. Topping this off, this moron loved to denigrate the Black youth, ‘cause his church-going brethren told him to. He didn’t see white fascism as the enemy, he saw the Black youth as our community’s greatest problem. This said, I just wanna’ debunk this curse o’ Ham nonsense once and for all, or at least for the brothas and sistas reading this, so no one here has to carry around this crap theory in their heads anymore.

So the fable goes, Ham had sinned against the righteous patriarch, Noah, so God cursed his son Cannan and his descendants into perpetual servitude and slavery in the book of Genesis, 9:25-27. Now, due to this curse, Ham’s name in Hebrew was interpreted as meaning "dark or Black”--and just as "Cain" had a "cursed" mark on him (Genesis 4:15), this dark-skinned "mark" would be given to the “peoples of Africa” through Ham. So here’s where this biblical idiocy comes from y’all. This said, let’s get right into debunking this nonsense, ‘cause just writing about this pisses me off.

Firstly, the book titled, “The Curse of Ham”, by the author David M. Goldenberg, published by the Princeton University Press in 2003, reveals how the name “Ham” is not related to the Hebrew language, or to any Semitic word meaning “dark” or “Black”. Second, and this is the real kicker y’all—according to the Bible…

“HAM” WASN’T CURSED, CANNAN WAS!

THERE IS NO "CURSE OF HAM" IN GENESIS 9, OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE!

Now, some biblical “scholar” reading this is probably saying, well, Ham’s SON CANNAN was cursed--thus, Ham must be the one who bore this “original sin”. Well, here’s my question, if this was the fact, why wouldn’t God curse Ham DIRECTLY? Moreover, since Cannan was the one directly cursed, why don’t they call this the CURSE OF CANNAN? I’ll tell ya’ why, ‘cause Ham is thought to be the progenitor of the “darker-skinned” people of the earth in the bible, thus, if you’re gonna’ rationalize why Black people should be enslaved, who better to name this curse after?

So, the next time some “Christian” talks to you about this curse, you can tell ‘em about Cannan, or you can do like me, and tune 'em out completely before walking off. ‘Cause time and time again, you’ll find, the people who know the least about Christianity, are Christians themselves. 

Part 3.

Debunking the "400 years of slavery" myth

Lastly family, here’s another historical bone of contention I’ve got with America’s, and the white fascist world’s “miseducational” system--the myth of Black Americans being enslaved for 400 years. This said, I’m gonna’ do something a little different here fam’…first off, in all fairness, let’s say I didn’t have any alternate facts to debunk this nonsense with. What I mean is, lemme play devil's advocate, and take these lies at face value, and see if they still hold up—and I’ll do this with the “3” leading lies about Black people’s enslavement in America, the first being…

Lie#1.

The historical dates of Black American slavery

Now, according to white revisionist “his-story”, the first 20 Black slaves from Africa, or Black people period, came to America on a ship back in 1619—and in December 6^th, of 1865, the Constitution’s “13^th Amendment” set Black Americans free by officially ending slavery. Well, if you subtract 1619 from 1865, you get “246” years—not “400”. So, right from jump, this whole concept is completely bogus fam’.

Lie#2.

Christopher Columbus discovers America

Once again, America’s miseducational system taught me another fallacy when they got me to believe a man named Christopher Columbus, who was actually named Cristobal Colon, discovered America in 1492. Well, you might be thinking, what’s this gotta’ do wit’ the Black American slavery narrative? Funny you should ask fam’, ‘cause it just so happens, good ol’ Chris kept a diary of his travels, and according to renowned historian, Leo Weiner of Harvard University, Chris wrote in one of his journal entries about tan-skinned “natives” who explained how “Black-skinned people had been there doing some trading with 'gold-tipped’ spears”. Also, at least a dozen other white “explorers” who were Chris’ contemporaries, like Vasco Nunez de Balboa, spoke of seeing Black-skinned “Negroes” in the “New World” when they arrived.

Topping this off fam’, archeologists have shown how the “Olmecs” had established the first “civilization” in America. Mind you, their empires date back from 1400 B.C. to 400 B.C., and if you look at one of the ancient “Olmec head” carvings (right), you can clearly see these were brothas. Now, some of you may say, c’mon bruh, everyone knows the Olmec civilizations were founded in Mexico, NOT the Americas. Well, this actually does makes sense, ‘cause Mexico was part of America y’all. More specifically, California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and of course, New Mexico, were all part of the “Americas” before the 1900’s. 

Lie#3.

Deuteronomy 28:68

So fam', in Genesis 15:13, it reads, “And he said unto Abraham, know of a surety that thy seed shall be strangers in a land which is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them for 400 years.” Now, we just proved this has no historical basis in reality, but there’s also another bible verse, Deuteronomy 28:68 more specifically, which states, “And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.”

Now, this has also been used to “verify” the enslavement of Black people in America, but when I saw this verse, one thing stuck out immediately, and it was the last part, which says, “…ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.” So, I was thinking, if we were enslaved and physically sold, then why would this verse end with, “…and no man shall buy you.” Welp, long story short fam’, this isn’t talking about physical slavery, which is why this makes a reference to “bonded”, and not “bound” men and women. This reference is talking about “DEBT SLAVERY”. Ya’ know like college loans, mortgages, credit card debt, etc. Seems like prostitution ain’t the world’s oldest profession y'all, “loan sharking” is. Meaning, one of the best ways to keep any population in control is by making them believe in a “debtor’s” or “debt” system, this way you can enslave them without physical restraints. 

Now, if you’re a white fascist freemason who really wants to take social engineering to the next level, you can add the other “d-word” to debt when it comes to controlling the masses, and this word is “disease”. Debt and disease are the one-two, knock out combination which keeps people under the thumb of elitist oligarchs everywhere. Now, the moral of this story fam', is “NOTHING ESCAPES ANALYSIS” when it comes to white fascism. Meaning, you can’t take whitey’s word for ANYTHING! So, it’s imperative for the Indigenous Black diaspora to have alternate facts for everything concerning our well-being, ‘cause believing any tropes this social mainstream gives us is tantamount to social and psychological suicide in terms of our ability to take back our rightful place in this world--which is complete rulership over it.

And like Samuel L. Jackson said in Spike Lee’s classic film, “Do the Right Thing”: “That’s the double truth, Ruth.”

The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin (March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018)

Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25^th, 1962 in Memphis, Tennessee to her father, Clarence LaVaughn “C.L.” Franklin, and mother Barbara (Siggers) Franklin. Aretha's father Clarence, was a Baptist minister and circuit preacher, while her mother Barbara, was a gifted vocalist and pianist.

Both Aretha's parents had 3 children outside their marriage, and due to their tumultuous relationship, they separated in 1948, when Aretha was seven. Barbara went to live in Buffalo, New York, where Aretha's family had previously resided, and continued visiting Aretha who lived with Clarence in Detroit, before Barbara died of a heart attack in 1952, when Aretha was 10. Several women stepped in to help raise Aretha, her grandmother, Rachel being one of them, the other was the late, great Gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson—and it was during this time, that Aretha taught herself to play piano.

Aretha's father Clarence, was known as a preacher with a “million dollar voice”, and his celebrity amongst Black church-goers gained an almost nationwide status. His church was frequented by the likes of James Cleveland, Albertina Walker, Martin Luther King Jr., Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. Clara Ward, a gifted gospel singer herself, was said to be romantically linked to Clarence, but they never married—although, Clara was in the Franklin home enough times, to serve as a role model to young Aretha, while she attended Northern High School. But in pursuit of a musical career, Aretha left Northern High after her sophomore year.

Just after her mother's death, Aretha began singing solos at her father's church. And recognizing his daughter was an exceptionally gifted singer, Clarence began managing her at age 12. Clarence also helped Aretha sign her first record deal with “J.V.B.” records. In 1956, J.V.B. put out a single featuring Aretha titled, “Never Grow Old”, with another song called, “You Grow Closer” on the record's B-side. In 1965, “Checker Records” released an album called, “Songs of Faith” with the previously recorded Aretha cuts on it, and the disc also featured four unreleased songs from her as well.

Now, according to Quincy Jones, the famously talented singer Dinah Washington, said to him, that Aretha was gonna' be the “next one”.

So, in 1958, Franklin and her father traveled to California, where Aretha met Sam Cooke. And shortly afterwards, she toured with Martin Luther King Jr.—and sang at his funeral in 1968. As a young gospel singer, Aretha spent summers touring Chicago's church circuit, and often stayed with Mavis Staples and her family.

At age of 18, Aretha told her father, she wanted to follow Sam Cooke into the “secular” world of music, and with that, she and Clarence moved to New York, in pursuit of a “mainstream” record deal. Her father produced a two-song demo that came to the attention of Columbia Records, where she was signed to a deal in 1960. And Aretha's first Columbia single, “Today, I Sing the Blues”, was released in September of 1960, and quickly reached the top ten of the Hot R&B sellers chart.

Now, the fact that Columbia Records had Aretha singing songs like, “Today, I Sing the Blues”, speaks to the fact that they didn't know what to do with her golden voice. Still, in the 1960's during one of her performances, a WVON DJ, announced that Aretha should be crowned the “Queen of Soul”—and the title stuck.

In November of 1966, after six years with Columbia, Aretha signed with the “Atlantic Records” label. And in January of 1967, she recorded the song, “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)”—the song was released a month later and shot to number one on the “R&B charts”. *Note: now-a-days, the music industry has (largely) done away with the R&B chart listings, cause they know it's this genre, not “pop” music (Taylor Swift), that the public at large is really checkin' for and purchasing from (especially when ya' talkin' 'bout whitey). Mind you, “I Never Loved a Man” also peaked at number “nine” on whitey's Billboard's “Hot 100” charts. And if that weren't enough, this record's “b-side “, had the song, “Do Right Man, Do Right Woman” on it. And that topped the R&B top 40 charts.

In April of 1967, Atlantic had Aretha record her riveting version of Otis Redding's song “Respect”, which shot to number one on both the R&B and pop charts. This became her signature song, and with it, Aretha's status as an industry icon was confirmed. The song's also recognized as an anthem for the “Civil Rights” movement—and feminism.

Now, let's stop here.

The real reason Aretha's called the “Queen of Soul”, is that's what her voice spoke directly to.

When she sang, her melanated spirituality reached inside us and had a healing effect on whatever trials and travails we might have been going through. I remember as a young man, the first time I heard her sing the song, “Rock Steady”, on “Soul” Train. At the time, I didn't know much about her, but I was so mesmerized by her voice, that I couldn't turn away from the TV. What I've found out since is, the sound she produced, was the voice of our indigenous ancestors using her as a vessel, to let us get a glimpse of the abiding love, warmth, and benevolence that the overwhelming majority of us will experience, once we leave this 3^rd dimensional plane.

And let me also say, it sickens me, when white women try to hijack Aretha's spirituality, to co-opt the public into believing the nonsensical narrative of white fascist feminism.

Case in point...

A couple of nights ago on August the 20^th, MTV decided that Madonna should prepare a “tribute” to Aretha Franklin on their annual “Video Music Awards” (VMA) show. Now, as we all (should) know, Madonna's speech turned the air toxic at the VMA's—and there's 3 specific reasons why—and they're as follows...

Reason#3: People wondered, what the heck is Madonna wearing?

Well, while most people were befuddled at Madonna's wardrobe, when I saw her “get-up”, I nodded my head and though, it figures—cause here's what I knew: the term “Black Madonna” or “Black Virgin”, refers to the statues of the “blessed” Virgin Mary, and often the infant Jesus, with Black skin. Mind you, there are 400 to 500 “Black Madonnas” in Europe alone—and these statues, which are mostly in churches and shrines, are associated with miracles.

Now, you might be thinking, well, that's nice to know bruh, but what's that gotta' do with Madonna's attire? Well, peep this out...to the right and left of Madonna's picture from the 2018 VMA's, are pics of the “Black Madonna”. And like KRS-ONE said, “...if ya' wanna' little clarity, check the similarity.”

Mind you, the “Black Madonna” is who the Pope actually worships as a deity, as you can see to the left (and if you wanna' enlarge the pic, you can click on it).

Madonna was performing a freemasonic ritual right before our eyes, where she essentially tried to harness Aretha's (The real Black Madonna's) energy for herself. That's why she mentioned in her 6 minute speech, how she was inspired by Aretha, and that's why she thanked Aretha for being “our” Queen of Soul.

Essentially Madonna wants the “Queen of Soul” title herself, but she proved that night, that she'll never be anything but a third-rate “material GIRL”.

Reason#2: Madonna understands that she stopped being relevant years ago.

There's a now famous tweet being shown on this topic that states: “Does Madonna know Madonna didn't die”?

Now, what the person who “tweeted” this fails to realize is: Madonna may not be dead, but her career died a long time ago. And there's nothing she can do to resurrect it—NOT A DAMN THING!

Reason#1: Madonna not only knows that the gold standard of cultural currency is “Black Street Cred”, but she realizes that her leaving the R&B genre to be a pop princess, means she'll forever be locked out of that social construct.

Now, Madonna's 60^th birthday just passed—that's right y'all, the material girl, is 60. And supposedly, Aretha passed on her b-day. Mind you, I guess Maddy wasn't only pissed cause a fuss wasn't made over her birthday, but it seems like she's ticked off cause she was (and forever will be) outshined by Aretha's passing—and Maddy can't stomach that.

To top all this off, Maddy supposedly had her b-day celebration in Morocco, Africa.

Meaning, everything she's trying to do to align herself wit' “Black Cool Points”, is failing miserably. There's even footage of Maddy backstage at the VMA's conversing (and flirting) with Lenny Kravitz. And at one point in their conversation, Maddy says to Lenny, “...awards shows are all about betrayal—you feel me?” So Madonna's working overtime tryna' perfect our vernacular and get wit' our spiritual sciences, so she can stay in denial about her 15 minutes being up—and knowing they'll never be back again.

So, I've said all that to say this: no matter how hard Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani, the late Amy Winehouse, or Maddy try in earnest to approximate the construct of Black Cool Points, they'll always fall short. For the simple reason that their degenerative pallor and the recessive DNA that goes with it, will never be able to access the kinds of spirituality that the indigenous people of this earth, Black men and women, possess as a matter of course.

And like Sam L. Jackson said, in Spike Lee's movie, “Do the Right Thing”: “That's the double truth, Ruth”.

REST IN PEACE, AND AWESOME POWER TO THE QUEEN, NETCHER, DEITY, AND THE REAL “BLACK MADONNA”, ARETHA FRANKLIN!

THEY'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER TO TAKE YOUR PLACE!

P.S.

Here's the Soul Train vid from 1972, featuring Aretha, that I wrote about earlier. And mind you, everything about Aretha is golden in this clip, from her voice, to her skin, to her hair, to the background's stage design. And even though the production value of this vid ain't the best, Aretha's lovely vocals will still shine through your computer screen. And, I defy you not to get goosebumps when Aretha raises her hands and sings, “Oooooh-hoooo” at the bridge. Classic stuff, enjoy.

 

The Cult of Black and white Cinematic Symbolism (Part 20)...What do the movies "BlacKKKlansman" and "Sorry to Bother You", have in common with gay christian churches?

“Street knowledge amazes the scholars when we coin phrases for dollars...”

—Jay-Z, from the song, “Bring it On”

Ronald Stallworth was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 18^th, 1953. A few years later, his mother moved him and his family to El Paso, Texas, where he was raised. And in the summer of 1972, his family moved again to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he developed an interest in law enforcement.

After becoming a police cadet, and a rookie cop, In 1979, Ron was hired on as the first Black detective in the Colorado Springs police department. Mind you, as a detective, Ron was initially assigned to the records room, where he was reviled by his bigoted white co-workers, before he requested to go out in the field.

And Ron's very first undercover assignment, was to “observe” a Stokely Carmichael speech, when brotha Stokely was slated to speak at a “Black nightclub”. Ron eagerly accepted the task—and after his surveillance of the Carmichael lecture came off without a hitch, Ron was assigned to the “intelligence” department.

Now, let's stop here a sec'.

Understand, the first thing Colorado law enforcement had Ron do, was spy on Stokely, at a Black club. Notice, they didn't have him solve any local crimes or track down any fugitives, they had him watching someone who was associated with the Black Power movement. And unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of the “leaders” in the Black Conscious Community (BCC), have followed this same trajectory. Only difference is, the majority of the leaders in the BCC were ex-cons, before they were indoctrinated into white fascist freemasonry, and inserted into the BCC.

Well, one day, while going about his detective duties, Ron stumbled on an ad for the Colorado Springs chapter of the KKK. He called the ad's number pretending to be a white man, and once Ron's verbal slight-of-hand got him accepted into the klan's ranks, he teamed up with a jewish co-worker by the name of Flip Zimmerman, who would play Ron when he physically had to meet with klan members. And mind you, this is based on a true story, where Ron not only got to talk to the now infamous grand wizard of the klan, David Duke, but where he actually meets him in the flesh, due to an assignment he got to provide security for Dave.

Now, the team surrounding Ron's infiltration of the klan, was tasked with stopping a violent mission they had against Colorado's Black populus—but understand, that's not the focus of this post.

Moreover, I'm sure this movie is as entertaining as it is informative, and I'm glad Spike is getting some of the accolades he so rightly deserves, but, I haven't yet seen this flick. And while I do plan to go check it out in the future, what I'm more focused on, has to do with a line of dialogue in this flick's trailer, that I think everyone's heard. Cause it speaks to the very nucleus of the world's gold standard of cultural currency.

But we'll get to that a bit later in this post...

Raymond Lawrence Riley, better known as “Boots” Riley (left), was born on April 1^st, 1971 in Chicago, Illinois (another Chi-town native, like Ron Stalworth), and by the time he was 6, Boots' family had moved to Detroit, Michigan, before settling down in Oakland, California.

Boots' parents were community activists and organizers, which informed Boots' political ideologies, and had him joining the “International Committee against Racism” and the “Progressive Labor Party”, at ages 14 and 15 respectively.

Boots bought his political bent to a budding musical career, when he formed the Hip-Hop group, “The Coup”, in 1991, with a UPS co-worker of his, who called herself “Pam the Funkstress”. He was the emcee, and she, the DJ.

In 1992, The Coup was signed to the recording label, “Wild Pitch Records/EMI”, and their first album released in 1993, was called, “Kill my landlord”. The album spawned two singles, “Dig it” and “Not Yet Free”, and their videos aired on “BET” and “Yo! MTV Raps”. Now, beyond this, the group has gotten a lot of critical acclaim for it's politically conscious rap music, and their discography is as follows: “Genocide and Juice” (1994), “Steal this album” (1998), “Party Music” (2001), and “Pick a Bigger Weapon” (2006).

Now, while Boots embarked on his musical endeavors, he took some time to teach a daily high school class that he called, “Culture and Resistance, The Art of Persuasive Writing”, at the School of Social Justice and Community Development, in East Oakland, California. And even more recently, he's parlayed his lyrical talents into screen-writing. The result of this being his script for the recently released flick, “Sorry to Bother You”, which was distributed in theaters on July of this year.

And mind you, Boots not only created the movie's soundtrack, but he also directed this flick.

Now, the basic premise of this film is this: a young African-american telemarketer, Cassius “Cash” Green, adopts a white accent to excel at his job, and once he does, he gets swept into a conspiracy where he has to choose whether or not he'll make money at humanity's expense, or join his activist friends to organize laborers. And for those who don't know, this is a subject that's dear to Boots' heart, cause he recently came out as a “communist”.

Moving on...

Now, a few weeks ago, I was walking a downtown street, when I saw a church with a rainbow flagged banner across it's front window. Now, I know this is the universally accepted symbol for gays, but when I looked at the writing on this particular banner, I saw the terms, “queer”, “lesbian”, “bi-sexual”, “transgender”, etc., and in big white block letters next to these terms, the phrase, “It's all good” was featured.

I just shook my head and kept walking.

Now, you might be asking yourself, bruh—this stuff is nice to know, but what the heck do these things have in common?

Welp, like I've said previously, the gold standard of cultural currency the world over, is Black Street Cred—and that's what these 2 flicks and the gay christian church, are exploiting.

At this point, you might be thinkin', I don't see the connection—well let me break it down right quick...

First off, in the case of Spike Lee's “BlacKKKlansman”, there's a particular line of dialogue in the film's “official trailer”, that's uttered when the Ron Stallworth character, played by Denzel Washington's son, John David (JD), is asked by the supervisory cop if he can pull off having two Ron Stallworths for this operation—and JD says, “With the right white man, we can do anything.”

Now, couple this with Boots' “Sorry to Bother You”, where his main character “Cash” adopts a “white voice” to excel on his job—and the gay christian church's use of our vernacular (It's all good), and you'll see how whitey is trying to legitimatize these movies, and the insipidly conflicted gay/christian church, with the world's most revered cultural currency, “Black Cool Points”.

And let me break this down even further...

whitey is using our voice (and vernacular) to speak his superiority into existence. And he's doing this through characters like Ron and Cash.

Now, a lot of you are probably thinking, bruh, you're just fishin' for stuff now—whitey don't need us to legitimatize his superiority, he's already good wit' that. But what we need to realize is, our voice, more than any other, is what manifests into any kind of currency, whether it be spiritual or monetary. Thus, Jay-Z's pithy lyric: "Street knowledge amazes the scholars when we coin phrases for dollars". And mind you, I'm not a fan of Jay-Z's, but that rhyme encapsulates what Black Street Cred really does.

Don't believe me? Then check out the latest commercials for Target, Old Navy, McDonalds, KFC, Walmart, H&R Block, Dominoes Pizza, etc. And you'll see that every one of 'em, is using our “cool points” to sell their wares.

Everyone of 'em.

So, I've said all that to say this: if you do enough research into any art or science, not only will you find Black men and women at its genesis, but you'll see, it's our spirituality that's running not only this world, but the entire universe. And don't take my word for it, do some research on Africa's “Dogon” people, and you'll see how spiritually and technologically advanced they were—thousands of years before whitey existed.

And this is just one mo' reason, you should go to the mirror, smile, and say...

I LOVE BEING BLACK!

And mean it.

P.S

Here's the trailer for “BlacKKKlansman”. Now, I want you to watch out for the line, “With the right white man, we can do anything”. And note how important it is that this line is uttered by J.D. Washington, and not the white officers around him.

 

P.P.S.

Here's the trailer for “Sorry to Bother You”. And the part I want you to focus on most, is when Danny Glover tells Cash to use his “white voice”, if you wanna' make money here. 

    

When will Jesus return? (Special post-Christmas editorial)

Two nights before “Christmas”, a good friend invited me to one of his church's pre-holiday services. Now, this person understands that I'm not a christian, but being that we've known each other for decades, I agreed to attend.

So a few minutes into the service, the white female pastor declared that she was gonna' give everyone in attendance a “gift”. Now, this gift she said, was associated with us winning a lottery—and then she expounded on reasons why this lottery could only be attained through being “saved”—meaning, you'd have to be a person who's accepted “Jesus Christ”.

Then, she pointedly told us about the concept of “original sin” and how Jesus died for us because of that. Additionally, she said no matter how foul our mouths are, or how many banks we've robbed, Jesus died so we'd be cleansed of our inherited sin(s).

Finally, she ended the service by reinforcing the point that regardless of how egregiously we live our lives, our acceptance of Jesus will grant us everlasting life. Mind you, about half of the people seated and listening to that service, were Black.

Now, I understand how whoever's reading this is probably gonna' think—well, here comes the part where he talks about that whole Black and white/ethnic thing again. But in all fairness, this pastor's audience was mostly comprised of white people. However, in terms of how this woman's message could affect churchgoers, I'd like to make 3 points as to how this pastor's sermon might strike a Black churchgoer differently from a white one, based on our disparate kinds of conditioning.

Point#3: In terms of this white woman telling me that she's gonna' give me a “gift”, and how this includes my winning a “lottery” that comes from being saved—it immediately takes my mind to stories of the mythological “white savior” that will rescue Black people from themselves. And mind you, a white person could be (and was) sitting right next to me—but because white fascism teaches Black people from birth that we're the most vile and undesirable kinds of people on the planet, it says to my mind, that I need some sort of “external” white force to save me, or us, from our inevitable demise, due to our moral obtuseness.

Point#2: Doubling down on my last point, the concept of “original sin” reinforces to me, as a Black person, in regards to the conditioning that we specifically get (especially in the american educational system) that EVERYTHING about me is WRONG.

EVERYTHING. 

And on a side note, I remember speaking to a mature brotha like myself about the dysfunction of Black people. And the gist of his argument was that Black people need to take “personal responsibility” for reconditioning ourselves out of these dysfucntions/mind-sets. And I agree—to an extent. Meaning, recently, I spoke to a young brotha, who I know is 18 years old, and he just happens to have that beautifully flawless, deeply melanated skin I love. But because of this, his friends make fun of him and say that he looks “African”.

And he retaliates aggressively when they do. Meaning somewhere, at his young age, he's gotten the message that he should be ashamed of his association with Africa. Now, here's my question/argument for the aforementioned mature brotha I was debating—how in the world, can we expect this young man to recondition himself out of his conscious/subconscious hatred of his “association” with Africa (i.e. his dark skin), when he doesn't even know it's a problem? Then I told the brotha, if and when that young brotha does realize, that hating his skin is a problem, then how does he recondition himself out of it?

Another personal example of this, was the time in my 9^th grade class when a beautiful young sista said to me, when we were alone: “Damn—God didn't give us nothin', he gave us big lips and nappy hair.”

Now, check that out—she said, “God” didn't give us nothing. So, she was conditioned to think, in reference to her looks and being Black, that her very God had forsaken her. And ya' know what I said to this young sista? Nothing. Cause I felt the same way.

Fortunately, decades later, I feel completely different—and I hope she does too.

Mind you, there is a remedy for this—and that is, we have to get those young minds into “Black Nationalist” homeschooling collectives, so they're not poisoned with self-hatred from this social order's “mis-educational” system.

Point#1: And the number one point I want to make is this: ever since I was in my pre-teens, I've gotten the message that when the white christ returns, he'll set the world right again.

Now, because of the conditioning I got, especially in catholic schools, I should be able to agree with this sentiment. Fortunately though, I have alternate information (cause I'm a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences), and I understand one profound truth that you won't hear in 99.9% of the church services you'll attend. And that's this: In regards to Jesus Christ, what white fascists don't want you to know is...

JESUS NEVER LEFT.

Now, you're probably thinkin’, bruh—if you’re agreeing that Jesus is real and was here, then how could you possibly say he never left.

Here's how...

The Black Spiritual Sciences (The Orishas, Ifa, Yoruba, Santeria, Voudun/Voodoo, etc.) teach us that the “Krist” (KRST) energies associated with these practices, are different from a physical man named “Jesus Christ”, who white fascists made up.

Now, for the sake of brevity, I'll tell you that “Jesus Christ” was an invention of the ruler “Constantine”, when he convened the “Council of Nicea” in 325 A.D. And coincidentally, it was here that 318 Roman Catholic Bishops wrote, decreed and sanctified the institution that we now know as “christianity”. And please don't take my word for this—go do your own research and find out for yourself.

Moreover, in terms of fascist dogmas and institutions, I think these Bible verses pretty much tell you the agenda of white fascist christianity/freemasonry.

Ephesians 6:5-8:

5:”Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”

6: “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”

7: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving THE LORD, NOT PEOPLE.”

8: “Because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.”

Now, I think that pretty much says it all.

So, and I'm talking exclusively to Black people, when our ancestors spoke of the “Krist/KRST”, they were speaking of energies to be accessed through the Spiritual Sciences I mentioned earlier.

And the bottom line to all these sciences is this: when you find a technique that combines your intention (prayer), with your subconscious mind, that's how you'll ultimately start to manipulate “spiritual” forces in your favor.

Then YOU will become the “CHRIST/KRST”.

Moreover, because our ingenious ancestors taught us that this particular energy is WITHIN you, it means you don't have to look for any external force to activate it—so you can save yourself.

So, while you imbibe in copious amounts of egg-nog and pumpkin pie on this holiday (holy-day), understand it's real meaning—and that is to heed our ancestors who're beseeching us to turn our KRST ENERGIES ON—so you can indeed live an abundant life that will not only benefit you, but the whole of the Black Diaspora.

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee's movie: “Do the Right Thing”: “That's the double truth, Ruth.”

The cult of gay white bigotry (Part 7)...3 reasons why the american government staged the Orlando Nightclub massacre...

Omar Mir Seddique Mateen was born on November 16^th, 1986 to his father, Mir Seddique Mateen, and his mother, Shahla Mateen. And Omar’s family lived in the New Hyde Park section of New York City. Omar’s father Mir is asian, and is said to subscribe to the Islamic religion of Pashtun Muslims, which have their origins mostly in the countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan. After living in New York City for the better part of Omar’s childhood, the Mateens moved to Florida. More specifically, St. Lucie County, Florida.

Now, anyone who knew the Mateens, said they adhered to the Muslim faith only moderately. They also say they were pretty much the model of an ‘all-american’ family. And Omar’s history in Florida bears this out.

After Omar attended St. Lucie’s West Centennial High School, he went to Indian River State College and earned an associates of science degree in criminal justice there in 2006. And in October of that year, he began working for the Florida Department of Corrections, and was assigned to Florida’s Martin Correctional Institution.

Now, according to the american media, Omar had pledged his allegiance to the terrorist group calling itself, the ‘Islamic State of Iraq and Syria’, or ‘ISIS’ for short. And this is supposedly why this all-american kid turned into the ruthless killer who gunned down 49 people on June 12^th, 2016, at a gay club in Orlando called ‘Pulse’. But here’s two things to consider if you believe the news media…

One, anyone who knew Omar said not only didn’t he have any connections to radical muslim groups, but the majority of the ‘connections’ he had were with factions of american law enforcement. And this is documented throughout his professional career when he worked for Florida’s Department of Corrections, and most especially, when he went on a trip to Saudi Arabia organized by New York University’s ‘Islamic Center’. On this trip, Omar was in the company of twelve New York City police officers, along with other groups from Yale and Columbia Universities. And this is when Omar took these photos proudly showing off his ‘affiliations’ with the NYPD. It’s also said that Omar had ‘connections’ with a former u.s. marine and an undercover ‘FBI’ agent who turned into a radical Muslim cleric.

Two, any deeper-thinking person should note that the terrorist group ‘ISIS’ once went by another name…and that name is ‘Al-Qaeda’. And this rebranded and refocused terrorist group was wholly created and funded by america’s CIA. Understand, the CIA first created these ‘extremist’ Islamic groups during the ‘Cold War Era’. And they did this because they needed soldiers on the ground who could help them fight off the ‘Soviet’ or ‘Communist’ factions who were also fighting to control the vast oil reserves in these countries.

So ‘Al-Qaeda’, which is now ISIS, were once american allies who’ve been turned into enemies based on the current political agenda (game) this government’s running on us.

Now, the question you might be asking yourself is: If Omar was more connected to american law enforcement than radical Islamic terrorists, then why would he gun down innocent people in a nightclub?

And that would bring me to my 3 reasons why the american government staged the Orlando Nightclub massacre. And they are as follows…

Reason#3: white men don’t like being thought of as the world’s most prolific serial killers/mass murderers.

On April 19^th, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a bomb that killed 168 people and wounded another 600. This is and was the deadliest act of terrorism coming from within the united states. And when you think of the overwhelming majority of this country’s ‘celebrity’ serial-killers, you’ll immediately think of John Wayne Gacy, Henry Lee Lucas, Jeffry Dahmer, Ted Bundy, etc.

And this begs the question of why the white man, who has the most access to every resource, has this fetish for killing so continuously when his life isn’t being threatened? So to offset this, white fascists have organized these swarthy, darker-skinned asians to represent the face of organized terrorism.

Hell, on a smaller scale, the TV show ‘To Catch a Predator’ was cancelled cause it exposed that the overwhelming majority of men who are pedophiles, especially in this country, are white.

Reason#2: The american government can’t justify its massive amounts of military spending, if there’s no perceived threat of terrorism.

The american government spends nearly 600 billion dollars on its military and anti-terrorism activities. That’s more than any other country spends in the world. white fascists have american coffers overflowing with military funding. And there’s no accountability to speak of on how these taxpayer dollars get spent. But, to continue justifying why america’s military contractors spend $100.00 on a hammer and $3,000.00 on coffee machines, there has to be some kind of terrorist threat looming in and over the psyche of the american populus.

Reason#1: And the number one reason why america’s government staged the Orlando nightclub massacre is, you can’t call the gay community an oppressed minority, when they’re not suffering any oppression.

Omar Mateen was working with american intelligence communities, and he was used to carry out the agenda of making americans believe that gays are suffering the same kinds of oppression that Black people have suffered in this country.

But what Omar didn’t know, was that once he accomplished this mission, the same intelligence agencies he loved, would kill him cause he was expendable, and he knew too much.

For the past two decades especially, the american government has gone out of its way to accommodate and facilitate the mainstreaming of homosexuality. And that mainstreaming is targeted at the Black Diaspora more than any other. Why? Cause we have the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence and white birth rates have been falling below replacement levels for more than a quarter century.

Now, because this government was and is so complicit with the agenda of mainstreaming homosexuality, when gays often try to declare how they're obsessively fighting for their freedom, people often reply: “Freedom from what?”

You don’t hear about queers getting gunned down every other day by thrill-kill cops, not unless those gays happen to be Black. And try as they might, no gay community can claim they went through anything remotely as horrific as the ‘Black Holocaust’ a.k.a the ‘Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade’. So white fascists had to ‘manufacture’ some kind of oppressive event aimed specifically at gays, so they can be called a legitimately oppressed minority.

And this happened right before Obama was set to leave office, with the idea that Obama’s connecting homosexuality with the ‘Civil Rights’ struggles of Black americans, would make these struggles look like they’re linked.

What really amazes me, and pisses me off at the same time, is when white gays ask why Black people don’t acknowledge them when it comes to our ‘Civil Rights’ movements. And to that I’ll say: Where was the gay/LGBTQ community when our people were being sprayed with fireman’s hoses? Where were they when our people had dogs sicced on us and bricks thrown at us in Civil Rights marches? Where are they when our churches are being bombed and shot up by white boys/men?

But now they want to take credit for what my ancestors did?

HOW DARE YOU!

Isn’t it bad enough that white feminists gained more from the Civil Rights movement than almost anyone else? And now, I see several instances where white feminists wanna’ challenge Black men on issues of oppression/sexism. But I notice how they rarely ever do this with their own men.

And now in the news media, I’m seeing white gays with T-shirts that say: “We shall overcome!”

PLEASE!

So to any Black man or woman reading this, don’t drink the white fascist Kool-Aid making you think you have to be more sympathetic to homosexuals behind this incident. Cause truth be told, white gay men are still some of the most bigoted people on the planet…especially when it comes to Black men!

And if there are any white men reading this, white gay men especially, I’m here to say: “YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!”

You don’t get to have the white male privilege and think cause you wanna’ lay down with someone of the same gender, you can call yourself an oppressed minority all of a sudden.

Cause whether you want to admit it or not, you’ll NEVER suffer the same kind(s) of oppression my people have. If for no other reason that this: YOU CAN HIDE YOUR SEXUALITY, I CAN’T HIDE MY ETHNICITY!!

So when you want to compare trials and travails of battling any kind of oppressive foe, when it comes to my people, it’s check and mate…YOU LOSE!

To the Black Diaspora: LET’S STOP LETTING OUR HUMAN RIGHTS STRUGGLES GET HIGH-JACKED BY THESE SEXUALLY CONFLICTED TYPES…CAUSE MOST OF THEM HIDE THEIR SEXUALITY ANYWAY! AND ONCE AGAIN, THAT IS WHY THEIR STRUGGLE WILL NEVER BE EQUAL TO OURS!!

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee’s movie, ‘Do The Right Thing’: “That’s the double truth, Ruth.”
