February Flow of Negritude
Was it important to you to erase my history? Whitewashed sepulchers that hide the mystery of my origins and contributions to biblical, historical, technological and modern history…?
Would it kill you to admit that the stories in the Bible resemble the inhabitants of ancient KEMET? National Geographic FINALLY put a black pharaoh on its cover after Richard Burton as Mark Anthony and Liz Taylor as Cleopatra confused us! Nefertiti: you’ve got archeologist and anthropologist vultures filled with their culture, arguing if she was a sister. As the “beautiful one that has come,” how could she be anything else but?
Charlton/Charlatan Heston as Moses lied to us (breaching one of the 10 Commandments), raised in pharaoh’s palace as a black prince that married Jethro’s daughter, an Ethiopian princess, and the only race they could NOT BS us with was the Nubians, the ONLY people of color in Africa according to Cecile B. DeMille.
That Adam is from AD-HAM, Adonai-Black and that the dust he was created from was correctly called “dark mud”? Yet the Klan opens its meetings with cross burnings and prayer.
Enlightened liberal fascists derisively admit the “opiate of the people” is necessary to combat the ravages of racism, compassionate conservative socialists decry “family values,” all the while the upper 1% make killings in the stock market making it hard for families to value the dollars spent at: the gas pump and grocery markets.
Would it kill you to admit: that a black woman created central air conditioning; that a black man created the filament for Edison to invent the light bulb; that Garret Morgan invented the stoplight and gas mask; that Washington DC was laid out by astronomer/engineer/civil-rights-letter-writing-to-Thomas-Jefferson Benjamin Banneker? Now, you have scholars denying the copulation of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemming, question: name a white Jefferson! Was it necessary to go around Egypt knocking off noses and lips from obvious African princes?
What twisted psychotic mentality allows liberals or conservatives not to consider either Hilary (woman) or Barack (son of AD-HAM) as viable presidential candidates?
Michelangelo did a number on you, painting the Sistine Chapel in your hue until you came down with a bad case of: narcissism. You have defined beauty, dominating the cover of every magazine cover other than Ebony, Jet and Upscale with women that get 20 minute tans, plastic “Nip/Tuck” surgery and botox enhanced lips.
And your schism will not allow you to admit others other than your hue into the Nuclear nightmare club med: when if they go off, no one will distinguish the dead from the color of their skin, but the content of their corpses: uranium 236! We should all disarm and find peaceful uses for this godlike power. I say in this hour: 6-6-6 is the perfect binary code that is the inverse of itself. And until you recompense what you’ve stolen, you tick-tock down the clock to your civilization built on lies and not truth. Else, your wages of sin on this earth will be well spent!

Eating Our Own
We in the African Diaspora in America have a problem: political (not actual) cannibalism. I will not give any racist a talking point to rant about.
We eat our own. Now, whether or not Barack Obama could afford to leave the campaign trail in Texas to sit with my frat brother in Louisiana, it doesn't matter. That Hillary can afford the side trip to show her "sisterhood" at the State of the Black Union, it doesn't matter. I really don’t care if Tavis Smiley has an inflated ego or not. We are poised, like in 2004, to snatch defeat cleanly from the “jaws of victory.”
Did I say the African Diaspora? Hillary and Barack have pilloried each other in the name of total victory. Each day, the dream ticket becomes a distant nightmare and the DNC proves itself feckless to stop the avalanche and broker a truce that can govern before the August convention.
All the while, a Vietnam veteran, prisoner of war, war hawk, Republican Senator will gain the votes necessary to continue the Iraq war 100 years (his words), make tax cuts permanent, privatize almost EVERYTHING from Social Security to Medicare and appoint a massive majority on the Supreme Court that we won't recover from for a generation - maybe two or more, IF we're still a country. Our great-great-GREAT grandchildren will pay this debt. Again, the big IF we’re still a country. When you try to project yourself the modern Roman Empire, you must inherit its inevitable lifespan to social demise from within as well. I suppose one day we’ll look good – in a museum.
In the movie, “V for Vendetta,” the news commentator kept referring to us as the “former United States,” and that we were in the throws of a full-scale twenty-first century Civil War. With the amount of guns and crazies that seem to buy them and shoot them at will: Virginia Tech, Omaha Mall, NIU, several high school nuts that revere Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold , life may yet imitate art!
Democracy - a romanticized experiment balanced on a thin, steel blade.

On Gender and Race
To be Hillary, you must endure the distain of your image being placed on a "nutcracker": the nuts leveraged between thighs. Obama is derided as a "Halfrican" by Rush Limbaugh, and he produced a song on his so-called talk show called "Barack: the Magic Negro." (Think: Puff, the Magic Dragon).
Beyond the attacks the candidates levy against each other, the dark underbelly of sexism and racism is being exposed daily.
Will all due respect: I cannot agree with Gloria Steinem that gender, not race is the "most restricting force in America." Your mothers were not restricted when my mothers worked the field and birthed black and mulatto babies. Your mothers shared the wealth gotten from free labor, and the "women's place in the home" as your wealthy fathers pursued politics and developed an acumen that modern southern gentlemen STILL possess. Your mothers had servants while still staying home. My mothers WERE the servants while still trying to maintain a home.
What are we afraid of? Do we really want change, or merely the "feeling" of change?
This is a wide open, exciting election. I have my qualms about the super delegates that could decide for the Democratic nominee and the Supreme Court possibly poised to decide for the rest of us if McCain gets to a squeaker finish in either Florida or Ohio, or does state even matter?
What are elites afraid of that they push out Rush to do their dirty work, and Chris Matthews spewing comments like "the only reason she might be a front-runner is because her husband messed around?" Why did Bob Johnson allude to Barack's former drug usage -- admitted in his book (NOT his community activism) -- as a surrogate to the Clinton machine? And lastly, why is Rush so concerned with our seeing a woman age in the office of the presidency? We've seen countless MEN age in the office since 1776. I'm sure Mr. Limbaugh and the rest of the country will adjust and survive either the first Woman or African American president (and, if he were to check all of our lineage, about 25% of us are kind of all "halfricans": it was called rape, without witness, habeas corpus or trial). Are you, white males, so disturbed that your base inclinations surface in subtle and overt attacks as someone ELSE might occupy "The 'White' House" for the first time since this country's inception that does not remind you of the typical Eurocentric "high father"?
Is this a democracy? I wonder sometimes. TGP
