The sudden resignation of National Security Adviser and retired General Michael Flynn and the unprecedented leaks pouring
out to damage and even destroy the Trump presidency is a throwback to what I
recall other nations (namely autocratic or communist regimes) did when the
political status quo felt threatened. Likewise, they often emerged as a
consequence of actions taken by top members in state sponsored intelligence operations.
There are several possibilities for this
including oscitant retribution proffered by folk like former CIA director John Brennan and former acting CIA Director Michael Morell, or even a backlash by
career officials (Democratic politicians and, more importantly, theintelligence community) in an effort for whatever reason, to keep Trump from
instituting his foreign policy agenda.
Sadly many in the elite east coast press
and large numbers of Democrats support these actions while failing to accept
and admit that for unelected officials to go around the constitution and imped
policy efforts of a democratically elected official, whether you support that
official or not, is seditious and boarders on actions of former governments run
by police apparatus like the Stasi of East Germany.
The Stasi was a shorthand term used to
describe the East German State Security "Staatssicherheit." It was a
combination of the United States FBI, CIA and NSA for lack of a better
description, meaning they had policing, investigating and uninhibited
surveillance powers. The Stasi was responsible for hundreds of thousands of
perceived political opponents being tried without due process, imprisoned and
even murdered in an effort to suffocate political dissention against all the
tenants of conventional democratic standards.
Most people they imprisoned and executed
where charged with specific acts such as engaging in "propaganda hostile to the state," interfering in “activities of the state or society" orthe "treasonable relaying of information." In addition to domestic
surveillance, the Stasi was also responsible for foreign surveillance. Through
the use of wiretapping (it is illegal to wiretap the U.S. President) and
anonymous unsourced claims unaided by any evidence (sounds familiar), for more
than four decades, the Stasi operated unfettered and without remorse until the
collapse of Communist East Germany and the opening of the borders with West Germany in 1989. These type of energies seem to have been put into action
inside the Beltway as it regards the Trump administration.
It is obvious that there is a real fear or
hatred for Trump as he goes about his campaign promise to “drain the swamp” and
dismantle the bureaucratic system of politics including the FBI, CIA and NSA
and their historic abuse of unfettered power that they feels places them over
the elected government. Also clear, is that even before Hillary Clinton ran,
highbrow member of the Washington political establishment, including assets of
the U.S. intelligence apparatus, were supporting her hook, line and sinker.
From former acting CIA Director Michael Morell and Gen. Michael Hayden who
served in the capacity of both director of the NSA and CIA under George W.
Bush. Both men, without evidence or proof asserted that Trump was a “useful fool” and Russian agent being influenced by Putin.
Upon which, immediately rumors started to
be thrown into the political ether. In particular when then candidate Trump continuously rejected the establishment narrative of the media and intelligence
community that under the direct orders of Putin, Russia hacked the Democratic
National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta emails in order to
interfere with the election on the side and behalf of the Republican nominee.
This was followed by a pile-on by the Democratic Party which since then have
willingly encompassed this effort to disrupt the elected President who they gave no chance of winning.
Since then we have had the Trump “dossier”
which was produced by a former member of the British intelligence agency MI6 and hired first by a never-Trump super Pac and then the Democratic Party to find some dirt on Trump. This report fell apart, although the media tried to
establish a narrative that it was true, when it was proven that unlike the
dossier stated as fact, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen had never secretly traveled to Prague in August to meet with Russian officials or had ever been to
Czceh Republic..
Why would the intelligence establishment
take this path? Well even a blind person can see that their preferences for
Clinton was in line with all of their desired policy objectives: Trump wants to work with Putin to destroy ISIS and Clinton wanted to go deeper into Syria in an effort to get Assad out of office as she did Gadhafi in Libya. For this
reason if my logic is tenable, targeting Trumps security executives would be
paramount. More than likely, Flynn was
planning to try and reform and change the mindset of the national security
state in America. Such would have surly been an economic loss the military
industrial complex could not afford to take a chance on. It has been said that all wars are banker’s
wars and we are well aware that banks dole out large sums of money to the US
military and intelligence apparatus.
The short of the story is that the East
Germany Stasi, even if not in body, in action is alive in the administrative
halls of Washington, DC. Like the Stasi,
elements in the U.S. intelligence community are essentially committing treason
against the Office of the President of the United States by leaking classified
material to the press. This is also without a doubt happening with the urging
and assistance of former Obama administration appointees because anonymous
leaks without any evidence at all is speculation, guessing and/or gossip. Unfortunately,
the democrats and mainstream media flunkies are more than giddy to run with any
claim, substantiated or not to bring down Trump and his administration. This is
the most probably scenario given from the Obama years, we know the immense
powers the U.S. intelligence community has through the leaks (not anonymous) of
Edward Snowden alone and that he gave them even more powers days before leaving office. As one writer noted: “Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored by the FBI or NSA gives the permanent state the power to destroy reputations from the cloak of anonymity. This is what policestates do."
Any assertion regarding Russia’s interference in U.S. elections as
been presented based on guess and without evidence. The charges with Flynn
began with the remnants of the Obama Department of Justice when then acting
attorney general Sally Yates told the White House counsel that Flynn was not telling the truth with respect to talking about sanctions with the Russian ambassador. How did she know this and who authorized wiretapping Flynn’s
communication? Still, we do not know if this was true since the phone
transcripts have not been released. All I can state is that these attacks
against the President and his administration were planned and contrived in what
I perceive as a hidden effort to thwart the will of the American people by
elements representative of the Democratic Party, the U.S. intelligence establishment
and mainstream media.

For decades now I have been saying that
there was no difference between Republicans and Democrats and with the election
of Donald Trump, no time since now has this even more clear. Sure folk will say
that Trump is a Republican, but I dare anyone to show any ideological bent he
has toward either party. If he is a
Republican, then Bernie Sanders is a Democrat.
But a more articulate example of this can be observed when one tries to
make a distinction between the actions and policies of traditional partisans
like Cory Booker and Tom Price.
For cats attentive to history, we must
recall we have Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to thank for our modern day
derivative of what are now considered Republicans and Democrats. Both these men
founded the Democratic-Republican Party. It was founded by these men to serve
as a challenge to the Federalist Party which was run by Alexander Hamilton in
1791. Hamilton at the time was Secretary
of the Treasury and a significant player in the administration in America’s
first President George Washington.
Madison and Jefferson questioned Hamilton’s interest in truly wanting America to be a republic since he sided
with the concept of federalism and disapproved of the manner in which the
Constitution was written to limit the government and not the people. In
contrast, Jefferson and Madison claimed the Constitution gave the federal government too much power such that it might place the citizenry at risk of
being oppressed if there was no Bill of Rights to guarantee individual liberty.
As an outcome of this, the first two U.S. political parties were formed – the
Federalist Party (Hamilton) and the Democratic-Republican Party (Jefferson).
These two parties did not last too long
and by the twentieth century, there was just one party divided in half – the
Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Both of which have decided their
main objective is not to serve on behalf of the unalienable individual rights
of the citizen but rather the mechanical apparatus of the national government .
Moreover, instead of the business of the people, their goals, motivated by
political avarice motioned toward personal enrichment by becoming a
professional class – something the founding fathers feared when they desired
citizen merchants to serve and eventually return to the community.
Seeing this truism in modern day partisan
politics, there is no better example than the relationship between Tom Price
and Cory Booker with big pharma. The record is clear on both these politicians
and their relationship with large U.S. pharmaceutical giants. Price was the benefactor
of large campaign
contributions from a CEO whose company manufactured a drug with the shelf name
of BiDil - A treatment for African Americans suffering from heart failure, although
one study raised problems about its safety and effectiveness. Add to this, the
recent. Kaiser Health report that Price invested in an Australian biotech company named Zimmer Biomet which resulted for him a
profit gain of more than 400 percent and may be even more profitable for the
company with the enacting of the 21st Century Cures legislation Price
supported. Likewise Sen. Cory Booker and 12 other democrat senators supported the same
legislation which serves to lower drug safety standards. Booker also votedagainst the Sanders/Klobuchar amendment which would have allowed for the importation
of pharmaceuticals from Canada and aided sugificantly in reducing the
unreasonable and exploitive price gauging currently practiced by U.S.
Pharmaceutical giants. Booker did this while remaining one of the biggest
recipients of pharma, receiving contributions in excess of with $260,000. Is there a difference between these two politicians
although one is a republican and the other a democrat?
Well
to answer this we have to beat the bushes a little more. Tom Price, the Georgia
Republican nominated by Donald Trump to become head of the Department of Health
and Human Services, received additional contributions from the CEO of Atlanta
based Arbor Pharmaceuticals LLC who bought the rights to BiDil. In return he sought to have the aforementioned
study questioning the drug safety and effectiveness removed from the federal government
website. It was effective. Emails show that an assistant to Price
contacted the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality multiple times
regarding having the study taken off their website according to documents obtained by ProPublica. It should be noted that Arbor is headquartered in
Price’s district.
Similar
to Price, Booker too seems to be in the pocket of big Pharma. He demonstrated
his true colors (green and white) when he visibly stood in opposition to a
Senate amendment allowing for the importation of pharmaceuticals into the U.S.
that would have lowered the absurd cost for drugs that is a major economic
burden on millions in the U.S. Considered to be a potential 2020 presidential
contender, Booker’s office issued a statement saying that he was in favor of
the importation of prescription drugs but that “any plan to allow the importation of prescription medications should also include consumer protections that ensure foreign drugs meet American safety standards. I opposed an amendment put forward last night that didn’t meet this test.” This alone is
questionable and goes against attempting to aid the tens of millions of U.S. Citizens
struggling to deal with the exorbitant cost of prescription drugs because it is
the same argument made by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of
America (PhRMA) and the Obama Administration prior. Not to mention that Democratic
Sen. Ron Wyden amendment to the Sanders/Klobuchar legislation included a clause
for verified safety certification.
So
is there a difference between Republicans and Democrats on ideology? Would say no and that the Democratic-Republican Party established by Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison are mirror images of each other and represent a
professional class that have the singular objective to enrich themselves at the
expense of the American people.

Weeks
after the Presidential election and it appears that some folks are still very
much in their feelings. Each day it seems that no matter what the President
Elect says or does, it is problematic for this segment of the electorate and if
given attention to, is considered to be some sort of dangerous attempt to “normalize’ the behavior of a person they consider pathological and
profoundly perilous.
Obviously, there remains a
significant level of grief for losing and animosity against Trump for winning
the 2016 Presidential election. Thus no matter what the president elect does,
will always be seen negatively. I saw this same sort of bitterness and angst
displayed by the GOP and Clinton staffers when Obama won his 2008 run for the presidency.
Although Trump has thus far selected accomplished people who have made a mark
in their chosen fields of expertise, many liberals are upset because he has not
placed career politicians the likes of Clinton or Kerry in such slots as Obama
did, although he ran on this as part of his platform. More indicative of this
rage can be observed when they attempt to buttress their interpretations via
argument, then seem unable to make any critical comment without invoking Hitler comparisons or worse, vilifying these selections as being images of racism or sexism, or the final election outcome being due to the influence of hackers and Russian meddling as a blogger I frequently read noted.
They ignore the fact that many in middle
America outside of the urban landscape perceive that the Democrat party derides the concept of working hard, seem to care about not enforcing laws or supporting
the men/women whom they frequently send off to fight in unnecessary wars and
have more concern for illegal/undocumented aliens or foreign refugees than thepeople born here – especially the poor and homeless.
Accurate or not, they see the Federal
government as a business and think it should be run like a business the way they
run their households like businesses. These are some of the same people that
gave Obama a chance although he had no business experience and what they see as
the result is an America where race relations, poverty, employment opportunity
and economic security has gotten worse. They considered Hillary Clinton fairly but
concluded she was not in touch with their life experiences, and like Obama, had
never in her life run anything on the level of a business. Not to forget that
when President Elect Obama filled his cabinet with political elites, academics
and Ivy League professors, there was no complaints. But with Trump bringing in
competent people with success in the real world to be his advisors, it is
evident that he desires folk that want to put the US before using their
government positions to make money for themselves. These people already have
money and such selections demonstrate that it is Trump’s goal to run the government
like a business.
Even when he follows through on a promise to
keep that Indiana Carrier plant from moving to Mexico he is mocked. Yet there
was no problem with Obama when he gave $500 million to Solyndra and even called Solyndra a success when he visited the company although most experts considered
the company a failure. This is what most
Americans see, and they consider these types of actions as arrogant responses
of cry-baby sore losers. Not to mention we all know that he gave Solyndra this money as a favor to Rep. Pete Stark of California so he would push the ACA out
of the House health committee.
Trump is putting together a business leadership
coterie of advisers that understand the global economic market. This thus far
has proven to be a group of folk that will not be prisoner to special interest.
Which is another reason many are turned off by democrats whining and making
excuses as if the general populous is so dumb that on our own examination, we are
not supposed to see through the artificial veneer that you project Hilary Clinton to be. We, no matter what you tell us we should think or believe will
never see Hillary as being smarter than us, let alone as successful as Trump,
who although began with a large loan from his father, built his business with
hard work and not with $250,000 a pop 45 minute speeches.
Democrats have to stop whining and confront the
actuality that they are out of touch and have been out of touch and only have
themselves to blame and no one else, so stop crying and pointing fingers at contrived
bullshit ranging from James Comey, Fake news, or anything else. It is unfathomable
as to how you could not see this coming. This was not an isolated event. Not only did HRC lose, but the Democratic Party
also loss on the state level only
holding a majority in 31 of the 98 legislative bodies across America.
Continuing to blame others for their own failures
is a major indication that losing on this level for Democrats may only get
worse in the coming years if they do not do some somber reflection and soul
searching. And I say this because it appears they have learned nothing as evidenced
by re-appointing 76 year old California Representative Nancy Pelosi as the Minority Leader of the House. In her own words she recently indicated how out
of touch she and her party is when she stated: “I don’t think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are
about supporting America’s working families. That’s one that everyone is in
agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working
families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that
message wasn’t coming through.”
Yes it looks bad for the democrats when they don’t
comprehend that speaking at or down to others and basically ordering them to do
something that they singularly have decided as being unacceptable, and calling
the names because they don’t, isn’t communicating, nor is it a message.

I found it thoroughly comical
and insulting that during the final stretch of the general election that
instead of stating policy specifics, or going around from county to county,
Hillary Clinton fell back on staying to large urban cities and using the
classic pandering strategy of pulling out entertainers to appeal to that
portion of the voting populous that was fond of mindless self-absorbed celebrity
twaddle and suckers for the old bread and circus trick. Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Lady
Gaga, Big Sean, J. Cole and Chance the Rapper and LeBron James among many
other were among the huge out of touch
with the real-world stars called out like trained circus animals to publicly
perform for blacks and beg for support on their behalf for them to back Hillary
Clinton from mainly urban black millennials.
This is the tradition of
the democratic party toward blacks: the poorly read black population don’t need
to be taken seriously, just entertained, nothing more nothing less. She doesn’t even care that she brings a Big
“Anthony Weiner sexting” Sean out on stage albeit she is accusing trump of objectifying
women because she knows and don’t care that blacks whom would vote for her
because she has Jay-Z and Beyoncé on stage with her are dumb as fck anyway. Or
a Jay-Z, whom with R. Kelley has a song called Pussy.
It is as if the only thing
we care about is drooling over famous folks whose lives are far removed from us
regular cats. What the DNC and HRC campaigned failed to grasp is that black
folk can think and do frequently think for ourselves and have an uncanny
ability to see beyond the snake oil. Despite parading all of them tricks in
front of young black voters she was unable to convince black voters that we
were a monolith, a single mind, or worse that we wanted four more years of the
nothing we got from Obama with the exception of Frantz Fanon called the “Black Skin, White Mask.”
And since she didn’t secure
our vote at the same levels of our first Mulatto president, she and the DNC now
wish to lay some of the blame on the Black voting block for her election night
loss of the presidency. The roots of Donald Trump's shocking, long-shot, and
divisively improbable rise to the presidency can be traced back to election
night four years ago when black voter percentage, for the first time in
American history, surpassed whites. Black voters led the multiracial groups of
voters that re-elected Barack Obama and seemed poised to do so for any democrat
in the future.
The election of Donald
Trump signifies a lot of things but one was a rebuke to popular culture’s
political influence in general – for if you depending on the black vote to win
you already loss, especially with your record which you desire us to ignore.
And true city Negroes ignored it, us real ones did not. And I say really
because city cats got it twisted. We
know how democrats pimp our votes, and sure, we mad when a police officer kills
a black man, any black man, even criminals, but we even more upset when our
kids die as a result of gang members killing our kids. Point being we know
liberal democrats and many cops don't really care about black folk anyway. In one
case we just a vote and the other just target practice.
After all, you can’t do no
more to get the black vote than to entertain them and giving us fish in the
form of free shit that makes us dependent on your monkey azz than to assist us
in learning to fish and providing for and taking care of ourselves. It should
have been an easy task even for a closet racist the likes of Hillary Clinton
for all she had to do was play on our ignorance of history and employ the
mainstream media to convince us that all of our ills are all due to Republicans
(even in cities where they have not been in power 70 years or more). See the Democrats know that regardless of
race, if one is ignorant, don’t read, uneducated, under-educated and watch TV, propaganda campaigns work every time – even
when you have no message or plan but rather only the use of dog whistles
(sexist, racist, xenophobic) and name calling you pay millionaires to repeat.
True you may mention some
shit about Planned Parenthood even though Margaret Sanger was racist who viewed blacks as inferior and deserved to be a part of her genocide to exterminate blacks and other less desirables via abortion, but that is only catchy for
women whom think murdering a child in utero is just another form of birth control, nonetheless, the Democrats remains and will always remain the party of
racism and its voters too imprudent to know they're supporting racism each time
they cast their votes for democrats. As if black folk can’t do anything for
ourselves without the democrats – a train of thought eerily similar to the attitudes
and beliefs of paternalistic Democrats just scores of years prior when
they justified slavery, fought to keep
slavery legal, founded the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws into existence and opposed
school segregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And I won’t even mention
Chicago (but I did) where black folk 12 times more likely to be shot than whites and where Democrats been on control since the 1930s.
Fact is democratic policies
have worsen black poverty, which is still twice that of white poverty and has
basically destroyed the black family. So yea, I’m certain Beyoncé and Jay Z
threw down, but the votes the Democratic Party and HRC got from such was from a
group of pusillanimous embarrassing and unctuous hypocritical whining simpletons
that actually accurately reflects the political acumen of Beyoncé and Jay Z.

It
is very difficult for me to understand how inefficient the knowledge base of a
sizeable corpus of individuals in the generations after mine have, as it
pertains to history. No more astonishing
a content area is this evident is with regards to American political history,
in particular history of the Democratic Party. What
few are aware of is that it is most probable that race relations in America are
a direct result of Democratic Party policy and ideology. De Tocqueville
acknowledge this when he stated that a natural prejudice was evinced against
Africans brought to these shores against their will yet forever through
pigmentation, will carry the “external
mark” of a stranger, born in degradation considered as “an intermediate between beast and man.”
Taking this even further he wrote:
“So those who hope that the European will one
day mingle with the Negroes seem to me to be harboring a delusion…I see that
slavery is in retreat, but the prejudice from which it arose is immovable…Race
prejudice seems stronger in those states that have abolished slavery than in
those where it still exist, and nowhere is it more intolerant than in those
states where slavery was never known.”
Ironically
the laws that would manifest over his times and major attitudes regarding
Africans in America, After the Federalist Party, would be fostered by one party
in particular as it pertained to policy – the Democratic Party.
That
is correct; you name it, many of the collective political accomplishments that
we as African Americans benefited from did not occur because of the Democratic
Party but rather in spite of the Democratic Party. If it were not for U.S. Representative Justin Morrill (R-VT) in 1862, who got the Land Grant Act passed, which established
colleges for African Americans, there would be no state funded historically
Black Colleges and Universities. Even before this, the historical record notes
that the Republican Party was formed essential to counteract the pro-slavery policies of the Democratic Party during a period in the nation’s history in
which we saw Democratic President Franklin Pierce signing the Kansas-NebraskaAct (which allowed for the expansion of slavery into newly acquired U.S. territories
in 1854). Ironically the same year, Montgomery Blair, a republican argued in
front of the Supreme Court on behalf of his client Dred Scott albeit it
unsuccessfully where the record noted the only dissent with the court decision
majority of seven democrats was Republican Justice John McLean.
Although
many incorrectly believe that freed slaves were promised after emancipation and
the 13th and 14th amendment 40 acres and a mule, this was
never factually the case. The record documents
that in 1866 Republican U.S. Representative Thaddeus Stevens introduced the
legislation however it was vetoed by then Democratic President Andrew Johnson. Also
that same year the Republican congress was able to override President Johnson’s veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and his veto of the Freedman’s Bureau Act
which was written to protect former slaves from Black codes put into law to
deny rights granted by the 13th and 14th amendments. In addition, two
times the following year, the Republican majority had to vote to over-ride
Johnson’s veto of the legislation granting African Americans the right to vote.
Being
unable to compete with the Republicans in the Federal legislatures, the
Democratic Party, in particular southern democrats whom were former confederate
veterans found the “Ku Klux Klan in Pulaski, Tennessee, on December 24, 1865. To be accurate, the Ku Klux Klan was
founded and formed to be the military wing of the Democratic Party and actions
around the nation after its inception until this very day still supports this
objective. KKK violence was aimed specifically intimidate and kill newly freed
slaves and Republicans. For example, in
September of 1868 Democrats in Louisiana murdered around 300 African Americans
whom attempted to defend their assault against a Republican Newspaper editor.
The following month, while campaigning for re-election, Republican U.S. House
Representative James Hinds was assassinated by self-proclaimed Democrats and KKK members.
Now
I know many would say that this was decades ago and I would agree, but what
must not be forgotten is that the plan desired (in concert with democrats) was
to construt and put in place policy designed to disenfranchise and keep blacks
from owing land and in a position to sustain ourselves. Moreover they wanted to
defeat and keep Republicans equally at bay via terrorism. With the use of violence by the Party’s
military wing (the KKK) and separating blacks from their land and placing them
in positions not being able to provide for themselves, they formulated new
policy at the federal level designed to make blacks dependent on democrats and
the government as opposed to truly exercising inalienable rights associated
with actual liberty.
Republicans
fought back with policy. In 1871 the Republican congress passed the Ku Klux
Klan act which outlawed the Democratic Party military wing. Republican President
even dispatched troops to South Carolina after democrats threated blacks with
death around the nation for even trying to vote. In one case, African American Republican
activist Octavius Catto was murdered by democrats in Philadelphia. A few years
later in 1874, nearly 30 were killed when democrats took control of the
Louisiana state house because Republican Gov. William Kellogg dared to have an integrated
administration.
When
democrats returned to leadership, all of what had been put in place by
Republicans was obviated. It was the
democratic congress and President Grover Cleveland who repealed the Republicans Enforcement Act which gave African Americans the right to vote. Two years later
America would see a Democratic Supreme Court uphold Plessy V. Ferguson. In
1901, Booker T. Washington would begin his life long battle protesting against
the Alabama’s Democratic Party refusal to allow African Americans to vote.
Even
during the time of Franklin Roosevelt democratic policy was moving more towards
the views of dependency politics advocated by the KKK in an effort to form a
dependency class of Americans based on color alone. In 1937 it was the Republicans who organized
against FDR’s appointment of Ku Klux Klan member Senator Hugo Black to theSupreme Court and it was Democrat FDR, whom just three years later rejected the Republican Party’s call to integrate the armed forces.
In
1953 California’s Three-term Republican Governor Earl Warren wrote the land mark decision for Brown V. Board of Education after Assistant Attorney General of the Eisenhower
administration Lee ranking argued the case on behalf of the Plaintiffs with
Thurgood Marshall. On a roll it seemed,
a Republican Federal judge, under threats from Democrats the blacks in the back
of the bus law and ruled in favor of Rosa Parks.
But
as history outlines, democrats fought tooth and nail against all of these
outcomes. After Eisenhower signed the Republican’s Party Civil Rights Act into
law, he had to send the 82nd airborne division to Little Rock to
enforce school desegregation amidst criticism from Democrats the likes of
Future Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in 1957.
In
simple terms, the legacy of racism that has it’s weighted and oppressive foot
on the collective necks of African Americans today was the courtesy of the
Democratic party and democratic policy that continues to day with violence in
the form of police brutality and disenfranchisement via policies of
dependency. Andrew Hacker explained this
in his 1992 tractate Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal. He noted that as African Americans, we must live in
an existence that is far removed from free-will and free-choice. He wrote “Black
Americans are Americans, yet they still subsist as aliens in the only land they
know. Other groups may remain outside the mainstream but the do so voluntarily.
In contrast blacks must endure a segregation that is far from freely chosen.”
The
reality is, how America and Americans views race presently is a direct result
of beliefs of a perverted democratic system that proffers race as its central
element of contention. This contention
is, when violence was no longer acceptable after the civil rights era, was
transduced to policy designed with the intent to subjugate African Americans
and systematically extract wealth from our community. As a policy this has
never stopped. The most lucid view of
this is the large urban cities of America.
Cleveland has been run by democrats from 1942-present (police, city
council and mayor) uninterrupted with the exception of 1972-77; Chicago has been run by democratsuninterrupted since 1931; Flint, MI since 1960; Detroit since 1962; Baltimoresince 1967; DC since 1967; Philadelphia since 1952; Newark since 1953; and
Milwaukee since 1960. And I would reckon if II had the time to look up a few
things, I could find trend lines over the same period that would show an
increase in poverty, unemployment, incarceration, high school dropout rates and
poverty as well as decline in wealth, land ownership, housing and income too.
This is our biggest problem as a voting block
today - Democrats running for state or national office aspiring to win black
votes without appearing to give a FcK about nothing but our vote. So if we so
upset about our current circumstances and conditions, why we still voting to
enslave and impoverish ourselves by voting for democrats unconditionally? They
gave us the politics of bigotry and oppression that is killing us currently.
