Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle….(black lives being choked out)….gurgle, gurgle..
(’Ho, HUM’…white folks lookin’ at their fingernails…’oh, we care,MAMMY)… gurgle, gurgle, blub, blub, blub
It is now being reported that the stories of
Darktown Wildings
in the Superdome, rampant NO mayhem, baby rape and cannabalism among the “refugees” turned out to be lies, by the lying liars that make and break the news.
Why would such pooh be circulated?
Who circulated it and why?
Who benefitted, in whose interest would it be to demonize black people - one more time?
Turn the victim into the criminal, blame the victim, use the race of the victim to blind and stymie the faint humanity stirring in good ole Americans. Feed ‘em that ole time religion of ‘niggas cookin’ folks like gumbo’ to diminish the sense of responsibility to and kinship with “THOSE PEOPLE.”
Crimes against black people are treated as crimes against chattel; pay careful attention to the inaction, the failure to link genocide against niggas with genocide in Iraq; note for the umpteenth time, that there are no ‘John Brown’ or ‘Patrick Henry’ white folks who will go the last mile with niggas.
The man is ladling niggas into our own gas ovens - prisons, crack, whitification aka gentrification…and white folks ain’t even talking about do-nothing marches. Just roll their eyes and say ‘poor baby.’ The terms, ‘White’ and ‘ALLY’ aren’t even in the same lexicon.
I’ve met maybe two or three white folks who are willing to take truth wherever it leads; the overwhelming majority decide when a conversation moves from talk to the precipice of commitment - they take that one step backward. I’m not fooled by their righteous attachment to “nonviolence.” You let somebody take some shit out there house and you’ll see one violent muthafucka. White people have built a Great Wall around THEIR privilege, and elaborate moats and drawbridges to justify not sharing that privilege with their magical knee-grow.
When justice, Justice and only JUSTICE motivates and animates one’s being - a nigga KNOWS!! But when cowardice, selfishness, brutality, callousness, racism and cunning rule - a nigga can also LEARN to read that shit.
But I gotta give big props to white folks for their superior TRICKNOLOGY. I been fooled fo’ a long time. My ex-wife was fucking Meryl Streep, baby. Had my nose open like I-5. Oscars to all you MF’s.
Niggas are actors, too, like the Last Poets said, but more to the point is we are addicts. We’re addicted to numbing the pain of the Rodney King aSs wHipPing we be takin’ spiritually, emotionally and physically 24/7. The pain of existence for an awake nigga is unbearable, thas why so many of us sleep, nod, do the “Malt Liquour Shuffle.”
The Freeslave is tired, ya’ll. Portland Babylon is too hard on a nigga. Niggas here get bleached so much you can’t even see their color by their deeds. Spiritual death, daily niggerization, marginalzation, self castration…I’m a mammal who needs air living under fucking water in this shitty city - I can’t breath here. Truth is hard to find cuz 90% of the muthafuckas I meet REQUIRE lies to function. Portland’s too Stepford for me.
So, go ahead; ready your noose for me. I might even voluntarily stick my neck in it.
But on the real, I’d rather see you swing, zombie.
Pass the salt and I’ll take some mo’ gumbo.
Come on ya’ll.
When the movie, “Last House on the Left” came out, the ad campaign had these eerie voices droning , ‘IT’S ONLY A MOVIE, IT’S ONLY A MOVIE.’
The idea was that - if the movie viewer kept intoning ‘IT’S ONLY A MOVIE’ - they could keep their fear at bay, and perhaps prevent the Boogey Man from getting them.
Lefties think that if they keep intoning the same ole drivel - marches and leaflets and seminars and grassroots campaigns and voter registration drives - that they will make some head way against THEIR Boogey Man. Mind you, those tactics could work IF they took account of certain facts:
Katrina’s are happening and have BEEN happening in ghettos and on reservations since the beginning of this vicious ass State. Katrina has been lashing US since the slaveship, but YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT US!
Since the malignant neglect by white conservatives, liberals, lefties and progressives of their fellow human beings is clear, as is its origin (inbred racism/white supremacy), the attention and/or solutions offered up by THOSE sources must be and are suspect and not to be trusted. (It’s like Mark Fuhrmann hosting a ‘Free Mumia Rally’ or a B’nai B’rith luncheon) Come on ya’ll!
There’s going to have to be a spiritual bloodletting, or some kind of ritualistic acknowledgement by my pink siblings:
Niggas are in the condition they’re in BECAUSE of the great tolerance of well meaning white folks for our misery. When white folks decide a condition shouldn’t exist, or decide they want to fix some condition that exists, they pour out their love and support, and open their wallets. Tsunami victims, Katrina victims - ya’ll get down!
But notice: when they were talking about bringing “refugees” to Portland, all sorts of fears were expressed: ‘will WE be safe?’ ‘what kinds of safegaurds will be taken?’ and other impolitic questions. And there is something sick about people needing “charity” to feed their egos, needing an other or a peon that they can rescue - on a whim - but not eliminate the conditions that create the peon.
You stand ready to fix the symptoms, but NOT the malignant cause of those symptoms.
Until YOU change - don’t talk to me about Bush - until YOU are willing to sacrifice your ill gotten advantage and nip it at its root, Katrina’s will continue unabated in every nigga neighborhood in this country. And you’ll continue to pat yourself on the back for writing that check to those Biafrans or those Ethiopians over THERE, while your countrymen will continue to burst bloated from their underwater graves in this racist Waterworld.
When will you ensure that all of us are SAFE?! When will you ensure, not through some bullshit piece of legislation, but through a lifelong commitment to REAL CHANGE that America becomes what its supposed to already be? If ever a people needed a religion, a spiritual experience, a moral conscience, it is my countrymen of a lighter hue.
ITS ONLY A MOVIE cuz you can turn it off. We’re bit players in your nightmarish pulp film and we want OUT.
Main Entry: ref·u·gee
Pronunciation: “re-fyu-’jE
Function: noun
: an individual seeking refuge or asylum; especially : an individual who has left his or her native country and is unwilling or unable to return to it because of persecution or fear of persecution (as because of race, religion, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion)
We’re all Americans and this is a melting pot - especially when they need something from us: Cannon Fodder, an image (Willie Horton) to help win an election; here comes the “Magical Negro,” the “Bagger Vance,” the “Oprah,” who’ll co-sign all manner of foolishness and be paid handsomely for it.
The eyes say it: ‘why you keeping me out, or in…HELL?’
The eyes bleed out: ‘I’m human, can’t you see?’
Privilege subtracts humanity. Nobody’s in a rush to retrieve it.
Perhaps there is a mathematical equation that aptly demonstrates it.
A news anchor said it the other day; CNN reported yesterday, that a “refugee” from Katrina was shot to death in Kentucky.
In his death he was stripped of his citizenship, named an outsider, a non-American, which of course, he always was.
But its nice to have your feelings validated by the media.
I left my country long ago, though my body remains captive in Amerikka. I belong to somewhere else, to my imagination, my art. But America - HELL NO! This isn’t my spiritual home.

THIS is the War in Iraq. This is the War that we only march about. Let your child suffer this fate - your hypocritical, Ghandian non-violence will go out the window. But its not YOU, or your blue eyed offspring. That’s why your forked tongue self can talk votes and parties and reform, when you know FULL well what needs to be done. THIS is ALL of OUR faults.
How many Iraqis=ONE white person? How many niggas=ONE white person?
Keep adding.
I sent my ex-brother-in-law an article on what his Marine brothers were doing to the populace in Iraq shortly before he was deployed there. No response. His parents - Bush lackeys - fully in support of a madman. No response. My ex-wife, an Ostrich. No response. If you pretend its not happening, if you focus on the flag, or your investment accounts - you don’t have to care. But IT’S there.
When you fraud-poseurs decide to talk revolution, plan revolution, eat-sleep-shit revolutionrevolution, MAKEMUTHAFUCKIN’REVOLUTION, then we can talk. Ya’ll don’t care, though. This is a victim of Katrina, Co-Intelpro, racism/white supremacy, depleted uranium, the Pilgrims, the - NO, this is a victim of YOU.

NIGGAS of the WORLD UNITE!!! Don’t wait for your enemy to save you or free you. It really is as basic as skin.
“Don’t let that man fool ya!”
Or woman.
Organization presupposes unity.

Chickens with their heads cut off.
You can chortle, “REVOLUTION” all you want: until organization, which includes analyzing, comprehending and understanding what’s going on occurs - no structural, fundamental change will take place.
Reflexive action, robotic gestures: marches, candlelight vigils, crying crocodile tears, waving signs, walking in circles are the only change we get from the so-called Left. In other words, there’s been no change at all. Why?
Because the Left is white.
White people benefit from the status quo. Racism/White Supremacy stacks their plate high with benes, as their darker brothers starve and rot. In their guilty, darkhearted, complicitous souls, they take feeble actions that don’t cost them anything. This action is not designed to produce justice, but to produce ‘peace’ in their corrupt psyches. This is long overstood by now.
But if any among them are serious, if any person is serious about CHANGE, when will they admit the failure of efforts thus far? Power is even more entrenched. When will THEY or better still, US, listen to the voices at the “bottom of the well”, the voices screaming for justice, yelling at them to pay attention, to “THINK” to “LISTEN” more deeply?
I challenge the Left, I challenge white people, I challenge people of color to organize a Constitutional Convention; I challenge you all to organize an event that brings together all of the people to PLAN the revolt, plan the change that we claim to want instead of jiving ourselves, pretending to oppose while lapping up privilege, whether it be white privilege or uncletomming to get the perks of whiteness. This madness must cease. The complete moral bankruptcy of the United States is evident - where the hell are the other people who will join with me to CREATE a real movement to step through the rubble and change it?
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is one form of insanity. Malcolm X had it right; the Panthers had it right. I believe a movement led by conscious people of color and aided by white allies who overstand is possible. But NOT if we remain addicted to ‘calling Congress’ or send ‘letters to the President.’ There is no President for us; no Congress for us. We are the Congress and President. We have to step the fuck up and assume the position.
All Power to…. ALL THE MUTHAFUCKINPEOPLE!!
My ex-wife is a racist. Wish I could say my ex-wife is an ex-racist, but racism is her fucking binky.
She’s one of those Ostrich types - head in the ground, see no/hear no/speak no racism.
If she can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.
If she can’t see it, she doesn’t have to do anything about it.
If she can’t see it/can’t hear it then she doesn’t have to teach our “colored” child about it or how to deal with it.
And she guarantees that she won’t hear it, see it feel it, taste it, by desperately ignoring it at every turn. Action without motivation is out of the question.
She was the valedictorian of her high school class, but she doesn’t study racism; she studies ‘Extreme Makeover’, romance novels or her fingernails.
When we first started dating, her father said he didn’t like the fact that she was dating a black man. But that’s not racism in her mind and not a clue that she should get a clue.
Now that’s she’s got my house and my child is a hostage on the mantle of her white cluelessness, why listen to me?
I take responsibility for my choosing her. I was in one of those, ‘we’re all people’, ‘color means nothing’, periods that I’ve gone in and out of in my life. But nothing has taught me more about racism than seeing it on a daily basis for 7 years, trying to confront it in my home, trying to educate and sensitize a brick wall. The subtlety of a racist - not the sneering, cross burning kind - but the polite, comtemptuous kind, the whites who know in their hearts that they are better than you, who are in fact ignorant white trash. No, there are black and whites, fools and stooges, awakened and wise. The truth is clear, but the white man can ignore it cuz he’s got all the bullets and all the cards.
I could never feel inferior to any white person and my ex has been the greatest teacher. I’ve yet to meet one devil that a real nigga couldn’t run circles around with the truth. White people don’t want to know the truth, especially the truth about themselves. Niggas know them betta than they know themselves, but cha’ll don’t hear me tho.
I vow never to compromise again.
