Poem: Shutdowns

Shutdowns:

Shutdowns shutdown dignity.
Shutdowns shutdown freedom of assembly.

Shutdowns shut down all sizes of economy.
Shutdowns shutdown our freedom of expression, some fear, for government repression.


Shut down, Shutdowns!-
Heard daily, nationally.

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

Image
I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon  Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th...

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare...

Harming White People because They're White isn't Revolutionary!

Image
Harming White people because they're White isn't revolutionary, it's predatory. There's no historic or ethical explanation for such violence. Insult to literal injury is added by elite liberals politically enabling it, including issuing "no arrest" mandates to police in cities under their control. I've heard too many first person accounts as a grassroots security consultant. I've watched too much  video , like this one, to dismiss this disturbing trend as an anomaly. I oppose such violence as a non racist Black nationalist promoting community autonomy (from elite liberal hegemony) and an open minded conservative working with grassroots leftists and mainstream conservatives to create local safety and homeless outreach.  Public brutality is never the answer. If it's  wrong  for White supremacists to do it then it's wrong for us too!  If Black people aren't disciplined and honorable, protective and productive, then what are they...
