Dr. King’s got to be turning in his grave.
The era of America’s love affair with legalized unfairness begins, again – officially – after 60 years of laws against unfairness, and now … overtly in your Black and beautiful (I’m so cute!!!!) face.
So? Now? What are you going to do, you Blacks with big money, Blacks with small money; Blacks with $350,000 to $450,000 homes in the suburbs, Blacks with one-bedroom overpriced apartments off the Alameda in Baltimore; NAN Blacks, Black Power Blacks, don’t-know-what’s-happening Blacks; integrationist Blacks; intellectual Blacks, cute girl Blacks; drug dealer Blacks, college degree Blacks; wearing-sagging-pants-like-a- messy-toddler-diaper Blacks; NAACP Blacks, trying to hide they Black Blacks; suburb Blacks, corner-boy Blacks, corporate room Blacks; pastor preaching Jesus Blacks, Christian Blacks, Iman preaching Allah Blacks, Muslim Blacks; politician in office Blacks; Black nationalists Blacks, just-want-to live-my-life Blacks, beat-down-don’t-give-a-damn Blacks and others … ?
Tell your children some truth. Especially those born after 1987. This is an unfair society … by law. Learn, organize and bring into being a new world without white fake supremacy.
The spirit of King, Malcolm, Frederick, Tubman, Garvey, Turner, Walker, Delaney and all the dead Africans at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and the ancestors are available and await our recognition and our request.
