This video is yet another example of why it should be understood that people are being deliberately rendered, homeless. Since February, I have been trying to find housing, have even traveled across this country to find housing and all to no avail. I have been in the apartment that I am currently being pushed out of for FIVE years. Even through the plandemic, I paid my rent in FULL and before it was due and for that, I get evicted. So, this just shows that you can do everything right and still get shitted on. So, what’s the use? I am tired of kowtowing to scumlords while having no rights at all since I have done nothing but pay my rent, be a good tenant by causing no other tenants any issues and this is the thanks I get for doing everything right. I even saved up money for a down payment to buy a house, found a house that I could afford, called the bank for a loan and was turned down because….wait for it….I DIDN’T ASK FOR ENOUGH OF A LOAN FOR THEM TO EVEN BOTHER. I NEED TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY! Now, I know what I can afford, but the banks want us to overextend ourselves and thus they get to take the home back. A win/win for them and another big ass loss for us. Black folks can’t even break even, much less win. We pay our rent to these corporate scumlords and Black folks like me who have a solid rental history, no criminal record of any sort, not even a misdemeanor or a parking ticket and yet, I’m being forced into homelessness and why? I want someone to tell me the answer to that. Oh, I already know, but see, when I say that the answer is RACISM, I’m the bad guy here. I’m just pulling the racism card, they say. To hell with that. It IS what it IS; RACISM. So, play the video and hear me sound reasonable, speak the king’s English, explain the situation and yet the dude in the office that I am speaking with is clueless, has no authority and is basically just a glorified pencil pusher with no say over anything that goes on in that office. And in fact, since I spoke with him on the 29th of August, dude is no longer at the office. Some Black woman is now sitting in the chair that was still warm from his ass. But the Mexicans are welcome because the Mexicans who were in the office ahead of me, and dude can be heard in the video, his application was already stamped “APPROVED” while my FIVE year perfect record rental history means nothing. I get the heave ho to make way for the Mexicans. “All aboard Mexicans at the border, the bus is pulling out heading to ALL points, even Lynchburg, Virginia! All aboard!” Yeah! That’s what’s also taking place!! I told you dumb ass Black people about voting for the democrats or for any of those roaches, for that matter.
I am posting this blog on September 11th and I have heard not one word from Greenbrier Management/Bramblewood Apartments and I will not be hearing anything from them. But one thing about me, my life has been a living hell for all my years on this earth and so it is just business as usual. I have been homeless multiple times and so this is nothing new to me. And that is why I travel light. I have only two pairs of pants, seven shirts, two pairs of shoes, no jewelry except a watch, underwear and a few shorts because I don’t buy shit! I have never been an overzealous shopping fool because I hate everything that capitalism stands for hence my Avatar. For those of you who are comfortably seated in your homes, may you stay that way. But, unfortunately, eventually, where I go, you too shall go. It is just a matter of time especially seeing as the homelessness population is exploding moreso than the housed. Rents are skyrocketing, home prices are ridiculously high despite articles stating that they are on a downward trajectory. Banks want us to spend more on homes than we can afford, I’m not about to do that and so, I’m about to be on the road again!

A man was hit by a Metro train at Southern Avenue in D.C., according to D.C. fire.
Fire officials say the man was extricated and was conscious and breathing.
The Green Line was single tracking between Naylor Road and Anacostia. Metro advises riders to expect delays in both directions.
No further information has been released at this time.
The above taken from the only article is all that I could ever find on this about my cousin’s accident. I have been trying to take care of him ever since. However, the shit is hitting the fan for us all and I have never seen such in all my days as what we are experiencing now. And people have the nerve to wonder why I am so caustic on this blog; so enraged. Walk a mile in my shoes and then come talk to me.
My cousin and myself are being evicted because we PAID THE RENT IN ITS ENTIRETY EVEN THROUGHOUT THE PLANDEMIC BEFORE IT WAS DUE FOR FIVE YEARS AND FOR THAT WE ARE, APPARENTLY, BEING PUNISHED. I will be living in my vehicle, but my cousin was sent a letter from the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority stating that he was approved for a housing choice voucher and yet, the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority has been dragging its feet in getting a voucher issued to my cousin. They have had him running over to housing bringing in documentation and telling him that his voucher will be available in two weeks and when those two weeks came and went, it has now turned into “soon and very soon.” These people play games with folks lives and the shit’s not funny. I have been homeless many times and it doesn’t get any easier, but if my cousin has been approved for a housing choice voucher, than they need to get on with issuing it to him so that he can find housing and not move into homelessness along with me in his condition.
I am only using my cousin’s first name in this blog. My cousin Charles was struck by a train in 2016 and suffered a fractured skull which resulted in traumatic brain injury, a broken back, a broken neck and broken right femur. He was operated on and released from the hospital a week and a half after having been struck by a train. He has been signing up for housing assistance since he was struck by that train. The following emails will detail his most recent attempt to receive much needed housing assistance since the severe accident from which he is still trying to recover and please also note, that he suffered a heart attack in December of 2019 brought on by some prescribed medication he was taking.
Twice he’s updated the waiting list.

Hi, Charles.

Public Housing Waiting List–
2021 Section 8 Waiting List
Here is an email from Senator Kane in response to Charles sending him a request for assistance with trying to obtain housing help through the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
Dear Mr. Charles:
Thank you for taking the time to write me regarding the problem you are experiencing with Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
I have contacted the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on your behalf and asked their office to review and respond to the concerns. You will be updated as soon as new information becomes available to my office. In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact my Caseworker, Paula Sherman, at paula_sherman@kaine.senate.gov.
Again, thank you for writing.
Sincerely,
Tim Kaine
Here is the response to Senator Kaine’s email to Housing & Urban Development.
U. S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Richmond Field Office 600 E. Broad Street, 3rd Floor Richmond, VA 23219 1-800-842-2610 February 3, 2022Via Email: Paula_Sherman@kaine.senate.govThe Honorable Tim Kaine United States Senate 919 East Main Street, Suite 970 Richmond, VA 23219
Dear Senator Kaine:
Thank you for your correspondence on behalf of your constituent, Mr. Charles
of Lynchburg, VA who contacted your office regarding his status on the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program waiting list with Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority (LRHA). Mr. Charles says he applied for a HCV on March 8, 2021. He had a question about why his position on the waiting list dropped, moving from number 140 in July, 2021 back to number 154 in January 2022. We contacted LRHA’s Executive Director, Ms. Mary Mayrose, regarding Mr. Charles’s concern. It appears that the change in placement on the waiting list was due to an error caused when LRHA received a new allocation of Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) in 2021 that were mistakenly placed on the HCV wait list. The EHV program is being issued through the Continuum of Care (CoC) and LRHA is currently in the process of moving those EHV families to their own wait list. Mr. Charles’s spot will be corrected accordingly. If Mr. Charles would check back on his placement in about 7 days, the error should be corrected. LRHA advises Mr. Charles to review his application to determine that he has entered all waiting list preferences relevant to his situation that he can support. Also, the LRHA’s Public Housing waiting list is open and typically remains open at all times. If an applicant applies for a Public Housing unit it will not affect their placement on the HCV waiting list. We hope this information is helpful to you as you respond to your constituent. If you require additional information, please feel free to contact our office at 804-822-4949.
Finally, Charles received the application for a housing choice voucher, he completed it, turned it in and it was accepted by the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority. But then he received an email stating that he had failed to complete the application that he had HAND DELIVERED to the housing authority and copies were taken of all accompanying documents.
Below is the email.
Dear CHARLES
Please be informed that the item(s) listed below are still needed to complete your file. Please provide the document(s) within 7 business days of this notice, no later than 5 pm onAugust 24, 2022.
EIV – what you should know form – sign and date
Updated SSA benefit letter dated within 60 days
Full copy of most recent bank statement (copy received missing page 2)
Here is an email that Charles sent the intake coordinator, Collison Corner at the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
Dear Mr. Corner,
I hand delivered my application to housing and the lady at the front desk assured me that everything housing needed was included in the finished application. Why did no one tell me that I had returned an incomplete application? I even called on Monday of this week and inquired about why I had not heard anything from the housing authority. I was told by the lady who took my application that the next thing I would receive from housing was a telephone call letting me know the date that I could come for my housing choice voucher. I do not understand why at this late date, I am being told that I did not turn in necessary documents when the lady made copies of all documents. My entire bank statement was in the envelope and it is not my fault that she neglected to copy the entire statement. She also did not tell me that I needed an updated copy of 60-day Social Security benefit statement. She took a copy of my benefit award letter and she did not let me know that the statement was insufficient.
I do not have a computer and you told me when I called you that I was, in your words, “confirmed,” so I took that to mean that you had everything that you needed. The only reason I am aware of this at this time is because my cousin just happened to check my email and discovered this from housing.
I would appreciate not being held responsible for what is being perceived as a lack of cooperation on my behalf.
Sincerely,
Charles
Charles then sent this email to Corner after speaking with Corner who told Charles that he would be away on vacation for two weeks and that a voucher would be issued when he returned to the office:
Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2022 6:29 PM To: Collison J. Corner <ccorner@lynchburghousing.org> Subject: RE: Housing Choice Voucher acquisition date
Dear Mr. Corner,
I was told that it would take two weeks for the voucher to be issued. As of today’s date, it has been fifteen days and I have not received any indication of when the voucher would be available. Any information that you could provide as to when I would be able to obtain the voucher would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Charles
The response from the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority.
Collison J. Corner <ccorner@lynchburghousing.org>
Charles,
I have sent your file upstairs for further processing. You will be receiving a call soon.
Collison
What other housing authority could get away with this? It is blatantly obvious that the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority is intentionally withholding Charles’s housing choice voucher that he has been waiting a year and a half to hopefully obtain and yet, after having been told that he was approved for a housing choice voucher, he was told that in two weeks, he would be contacted to come in and get his voucher, when the two weeks passed, he is now being told that his shit is being “sent upstairs for processing.” This Corner dude IS UPSTAIRS and so where the hell is he sending what he claims needs to be further PROCESSED? To the MOON??!! This man is going to be homeless come September 30th and the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority is well aware of that fact, but is still playing games with this man’s life and it’s not funny. This man was hit by a damn train, is suffering as a result because, let me state it again, from A SKULL FRACTURE AND AS A DIRECT RESULT, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, A BROKEN BACK, A BROKEN NECK, A BROKEN RIGHT FEMUR AND HIS ARTERY HAD TO BE RE-ROUTED THROUGH THE VEINS IN HIS RIGHT LEG and he is expected to be okay when he goes into homelessness come October 1st because Corner has to send Charles’s voucher UPSTAIRS FOR PROCESSING because the man on the moon needs to view it???!!!! Really??!!! Seriously????!! And people have the nerve to wonder why there are so many fucked up homeless people walking the streets????!!! This would be why!!!! Don’t be wondering about that shit because it is DELIBERATE!!!
The state of New Jersey just issued FOUR THOUSAND HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS, ONE THOUSAND WENT TO HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEIR VOUCHERS while this little, bitty burg can’t get one man’s voucher to him in a reasonable time span??!!! There ain’t nothing but 70,000 or so people in this little ass burg and 82% of them are rich whites. They are NOT in need of a voucher! And so there is no excuse on this planet why that man’s voucher is being held up! No excuse at all that is on the level.
Here are copies of what we were sent by Greenbrier Management Company that took over Bramblewood Apartments Complex, but we were never issued a new lease and obviously that is not going to happen. It is not as if we have been sitting back waiting on a miracle because for anyone who has been reading this blog over the nine years that I have been posting, it is known that I am not one to sit and twiddle my thumbs, but, AGAIN, I have never experienced what is going down now. It is like there is a concerted effort by ALL entities, governmental, corporate, etc., to see to it that as many people as possible are fucked up. I have exhausted ALL avenues of trying to find a place and frankly, I am at my wit’s end. If it was just me that I had to concern myself with, I wouldn’t have a problem because I am tired of having to ‘prove’ myself to potential ‘landlords’ that I would be a great tenant. That shit should have already been proven since I have rent receipts dating back FIVE YEARS, a perfect FIVE YEAR rental history in one unit and that’s not good enough. So, I’ll be homeless. That’s nothing new, especially for Black people, but if my cousin has been approved for a housing choice voucher, than by God, he should be able to receive it and not have people playing games with his very life!
Below is the first notice that we received from Greenbrier Management, but no lease.
This is the letter that we received in Greenbrier back in February and yet we were not allowed to sign a lease for this notification.
And then in July, we were sent this notification and yet, still no lease.
And now, it is the end of our lease term, September 30, 2022, and still no lease has been signed. I even spoke with Louie, who was the manager of this complex last month when I paid the rent because like I’ve already stated, I pay the rent the month prior to the month that it is due and have the receipts to prove that. In fact, Louie asked me if I was paying rent for August when I was paying rent for September in August. That is how ridiculous and clueless that mess is over at the office. And now, there is a Black woman sitting in Louie’s chair. So, since Greenbrier Management took over, we have dealt with so many different office people, my head is spinning. First there was Indica and Devon, then Cassie, then Louie and now a new girl. For the love of!!!!! When I spoke to Louie, he told me that we would be going month-to-month. Look at the second notice and see what their month-to-month rate is plus add a hundred dollar month-to-month fee. That is only for people who did not send notification of their intent. I sent notification of our intent back in June and so we should not be on a month-to-month and so, in essence, we are being evicted because they know that we sent in our notification before it was even due and we’re not fucking paying them a month-to-month rate and be sitting in the food bank line that’s about to close down for lack of donations, looking cross-eyed.
Meanwhile, I have been trying since February to find an alternative, but with the housing situation the way it is, I have found nothing available. I actually caught COVID or so they tell me back in June trying to find housing. We signed up but never heard anything and despite numerous emails, nothing. I went to Minnesota in July and signed up for an apartment and was told that I was on the waiting list. I am on waiting lists for apartments from Ohio to Minnesota to New Jersey to Iowa and, AGAIN, nothing.
Folks, this shit is NOT funny and it is coming for ALL of us. News story after news story I have read about how rents are skyrocketing, home prices aren’t down much so that people can afford to buy homes and folks are being set out on the streets in every state in this shithole. So, if you think this is funny, keep laughing, a few months from now, the shit will be impacting those who think it won’t.
Move over monkeypox, ‘donkeypox’ is the game changer. According to an article on “Bestiality Beasties” website, a man wanted to experiment with having sex with a donkey and so built some sort of contraption that would enable him to mount a donkey. The next day, the man woke up with a severe case of what looked to be ‘shingles’ and when he checked on his donkey, the donkey was completely covered in spots. A veterinarian was called in to take a look at the donkey and samples were sent to the lab taken from the spots that covered the donkey. Upon further analysis of the material contained within the samples from the donkey, were what has been labeled as “donkeypox.”
Two days later, the man was admitted to the hospital since he had been scratching his pox bumps and they had spread. A simple regimen of Calamine lotion administered every 12 hours was enough to clear up the pox bumps. However, the man had already spread ‘donkeypox’ to a neighbor who had come over when he heard the man yelling and screaming. That man accidentally bumped up against his poxed neighbor and the next day, he was completely covered in pox bumps. The man’s wife is threatening to divorce him because she is furious at her husband for having touched patient zero for ‘donkeypox’.
Now that two people have ‘donkeypox’, a public health emergency has been declared. Pfizer is already working on a new vaccine that will use the new mRNA technology that worked so well in vaccines for COVID and Pfizer is expected to have a vaccine for ‘donkeypox’ within 2 months. Meanwhile, it is recommended that people refrain from having intercourse with donkeys and that if they do, use protection since it has already been proven that animal to human transmission is a fact. Until Pfizer can come up with a new vaccine to combat ‘donkeypox’, continue to use Calamine lotion to dry up those pox bumps.
But seriously people, when is enough, enough? We have an epidemic of homelessness in this country and yet the focus is on some monkeypox nonsense that is considered to be a public health emergency when only 46 men in San Diego County has been infected. When are we going to treat skyrocketing homelessness due to outrageous rent hikes as though it is an emergency, which it is, like we treat monkeypox? Our priorities are all screwed up when public health officials can declare all out war on a disease that has only killed 5 people and they probably were in car accidents or were suicides and had monkeypox at the time of their demise and of course, monkeypox got the blame just as COVID received the blame for those who drowned, were in car accidents and who had shot themselves to death. Their deaths were ruled “dead by COVID” merely because they once had COVID, not because COVID actually took them out. What we are facing today is unprecedented and relentless. The powers that be are now inventing stupid shit to continue to get us to line up and take vaccine after vaccine after vaccine and all over so-called ‘diseases’ that are not adversely affecting many people, in fact, quite the opposite.
But what our government will NOT do is focus on the outrageous homelessness statistics that are climbing every single day with no end in sight. From floods to catastrophic wildfires to skyrocketing rents, homelessness is massively on the rise and no one is declaring that to be an emergency. Nancy Pelosi’s dried up ass is starting mess with China by visiting Taiwan and yet she had to fly over hundreds of thousands of homeless people in the state that she represents in congress, California, in order to do so. Why has she not been depicted visiting homeless encampments in the very state she represents in Washington? Why has there been no media focus on that?
Folks, where the homeless have gone, we too shall go and if you don’t think so, think again. It is just a matter of time before each and every single one of us is sitting out on the curb looking crazy because we thought that homelessness would not affect us. There are hundreds of thousands of American families who are having to move in with family members because they could not afford the increased rents. I just spoke with someone today who told me that their rent for a two bedroom is already $1,500 and that the landlord is increasing that by $100 next month. We are being deliberately priced out of housing because private equity firms are buying up all available housing and subsequently, they are raising the rents to beyond what millions of us are going to be able to afford. If we cannot comprehend that we are all in this together and that we should have been looking out for one another all along, this would not be happening, but it is happening. We claim to have friends all around the world and yet our neighbor is unknown to us. But pretty soon, our neighbors will be all too familiar with us because we will be sharing a space on the sidewalk as they are in Skidrow in California. We will be all too familiar with those who are even now residing in tunnels underneath Las Vegas. We will be all too familiar with those who are already sitting in a tent underneath an overpass. Homelessness is coming to a city, burg, hamlet, town and village near you. Are you ready? Meanwhile, worry about monkeypox, donkeypox, funkypox and junkiepox and line up for your vaccines. They worked so well on COVID, didn’t they?
46 men have monkeypox in San Diego County and that is a public health emergency……
….meanwhile……
…and this is not considered a public health emergency? Why not? And since Nancy Pelosi is a U.S. representative for the state of California, where is her visit to “Skid Row” to let the unfortunate homeless people there know that she considers their plight to be a ‘public health emergency’ and is going to do everything she can to eradicate it? Oh my bad! She is busy representing the folks who live in Taiwan. The mess that’s going on here in the states is beyond insane!
Of course everyone knows that I will NOT be celebrating the fourth of July. What the hell for? Because I’m free? Because my ancestors were slaves when the first fourth of July was celebrated? Because what a wonderful life my ancestors and I enjoyed and are enjoying in this hellish nightmare shithole??!!! Are you serious?
Black folks, what the fuck are you celebrating? Your continued enslavement? Mass homelessness? Income inequality? The school-to-prison pipeline? Mass incarceration? Food insecurity? Insane poverty numbers? Racist health care? The fact that the whites made you the faces of COVID deaths when that need not have been the case? Continued medical experimentation? Police brutality? Police murdering us with impunity? Gentrification? Obesity statistics that are off the charts among the Black populace? Outrageous diabetes statistics? The fact that our life expectancy is lower than that of wild animals? The absolute horrific statistics of Black people on dialysis? What are you celebrating the fourth of July for? You don’t need all that dead meat on a grill. That is why your ass is heading to dialysis the next fucking day. That is why you are having to test your blood sugar, consistently. That is why you were touted as the faces of COVID deaths when in reality, along with the fucked up foods you eat and the continued medical experimentation done on you by the neo-Nazi death squads fronting as doctors, those are the reasons for Black COVID morbidity.
You are traveling to see family and to get together to celebrate the white man’s holiday because you do whatever the white man tells you to. They don’t have to force you to do a damn thing because you are already there, with bells on. This is why I gave up months ago trying to get through to you because you are a lost cause.
The reason why I was able to get over COVID so rapidly is because I do not eat slaughtered animals for human consumption. I do not eat sweets and I take vitamins that are good for me and I exercise. And the quack that I see is quite crestfallen, and that’s putting it mildly, when he tells me that my kidneys are fine, my cholesterol is fine. I’m not diabetic. And yet his ass is still after me about a COVID vaccine. I am going to have to get me another quack when next I see him because if he asks me about getting a COVID vaccine for the umpteenth time, I am going to have to cuss him the fuck out.
But back to why you fools think that celebrating the fourth of July is in your best interest. What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you make the white man’s job so easy for him when it comes to dealing with your asses? He does not have to do shit but tell you that a holiday is approaching and your asses immediately start buying shit, shopping like fucking crazy to make sure that your kitchen table is groaning with dead animals and all the sides you can fit on the damn table.
And we can no longer even quote Fredrick Douglass’s famous July 4th speech because when his Black wife died, he married a white woman and so as far as I am concerned, he is another piece of shit sellout. Even in his speech, Douglass said to the whites, “This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.” And yet married one of the very shits that was the reason why he claimed to be mourning. What the fuck? Even Martin Luther King Jr., suggested that it was better to integrate with our enemy than to remain segregated from him. How has that worked out for us? I am beyond tired of ALL of these so-called ‘learned’ men telling us what is good for us when nothing they said was what we needed because if it were, would we be in the predicament that we are in today? Fools talked at us about the buybull and chrisitanity which is the white man’s religion, but pray tell me, do you see the white man hell bent on living up to his religion whereas it calls for him to give up his worldly goods and follow his so-called ‘savior’? Do you see any of that happening? He makes damn sure that he has all the worldly goods while you have none because he wants you to believe that you can expect to gain your inheritance once you die and dwell in paradise with him in some great, shining mansion in some heaven and he hasn’t told you, you will be waiting on his ass hand and foot, according to his white ass. The only problem is, even he does not believe that bullshit, but he certainly has you Black folks believing in some paradise in the sky somewhere just awaiting for you to enter its pearly gates and be bestowed with what the white man has said will be your due upon your death. Yeah! Sounds like some true shit to me and if you can’t sense the sarcasm, you’re even dumber than I thought.
What to the Black person is the white man’s fourth of you lie? A lie to end all lies when we are celebrating no freedoms that we have never had and what’s more, never will. But you go ahead and celebrate like the good little, slave zombies you still are and massa will continue to reward you with the school-to-prison pipeline, mass incarceration, income inequality, gentrification, homelessness, hunger, low wage jobs or no jobs, medical experimentation that is killing us, high Black infant mortality rates, high mortality rates for Black women during childbirth and the list of the like is endless. This is the shit that you are celebrating, not to mention what you are eating during your celebrations. But can’t nobody tell you fools a damn thing. Keep those celebrations coming, but you will not be celebrating for long. You can be sure of that!
I guess you’ve forgot about:
Philando Castile, murdered in front of his girlfriend and her daughter for cooperating with ‘law enforcement’ trying to produce his identification and no one was held responsible for murdering that man in this racist shithole!
And….
Alton Sterling, another Black man murdered for no reason because just being Black is no reason to be lying on a morgue in this racist shithole, but that’s what he got!
And….
Sandra Bland, murdered in a Texas jail and the shits that run this shithole called it, “SUICIDE!” Fuck that!
And….
‘How A Police Officer Shot A Sleeping 7-Year-Old To Death’ Aiyana Mo’nay Stanley-Jones was sleeping in her home on the east side of Detroit on the night of May 16, 2010, when officers barged into the house. Officer Joseph Weekley fired his gun and shot to death a sleeping child, seven year-old Aiyana Mo’nay Stanley-Jones. So, what did this child do to deserve getting shot dead? She wasn’t selling drugs. She wasn’t an addict. She was asleep and murdered and what happened to her killer? Nothing! Because he is white and this innocent seven year old child was Black. It wasn’t her fault that she was living in America, The Mother of ALL Shitholes! Where is the justice for her?
And…
Tamir Rice, 12-years old, gunned down within two seconds of the Klan pulling up on him while he was playing with a toy gun in a park.
And….
Nipsey Hussle, was trying to give back to the community and of course the story was that he was gunned down by a black man, but we know who was really behind him getting murdered.
And….
Like Eric Garner, he said, “I can’t breathe!” And like Eric Garner, his family now had to plan his funeral.
And….
Breonna Taylor, her life mattered. All Black Lives Matter, including the lives of Black women! We are no less than Black men and you’d better believe it! We are why your Black male asses are getting some kind of justice while we get none!
And….
Dr. Susan Moore, a Black doctor who died thanks to racist medical ‘care’.
And…..
Freddie Gray, remember him? He ain’t here to ‘celebrate’ the fourth of July. And it’s not his fault!
And this is also what you Black fools are celebrating….
Homeless in New York, let’s celebrate it!
And this…..
This is what you are celebrating.
And this….
Homeless in New York, this is what you are celebrating.
And this…..
Homeless in New York, this is what you are celebrating.
Let the fourth of July celebrations begin! We Black folks in AmeriKKKa have SO much to celebrate! And pass the pig feet, bacon, pork ribs, ham, sausages and buttered rolls, I want high blood pressure and dialysis, COVID and all the rest of the like doncha know!!!
[jo͞oːnˌtēːnTH, ˌjo͞onˈtēnTH, jo͞o:nˈtē:nTH]
a holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.
What does emancipation mean?
emancipation
[əˌmansəˈpāSH(ə)n]
NOUN
the fact or process of being set free from legal, social, or political restrictions; liberation.
“the emancipation of feminist ideas”
synonyms:
freeing · liberation · liberating · setting free · release · releasing · letting loose/out · setting loose/free · discharge · unchaining · unfettering · unshackling · untying · unyoking · uncaging · unbridling · freedom · liberty · manumission · disenthrallment
the freeing of someone from slavery.
“the early struggle for emancipation from slavery”
So when you look at why Juneteenth is celebrated and you look at what emancipation means, tell me, American Descendants of Slavery, how are you free, liberated, unshackled, unyoked, uncaged, unbridled and unfettered?
When the protesters were in Minneapolis going the fuck off, those who are descendants of the racist shits that enslaved our ancestors were busy spying on the mostly Black protesters via drones, spy planes and spy helicopters in order to arrest people who were supposedly, liberated. But we know that we are not liberated because the protesters were protesting because a Black man was detained and murdered for no reason. So, what were you celebrating on Juneteenth? That you enjoy enslavement? That you enjoy being spied on by the same government that dragged your ancestors here to become slaves for them? Did you celebrate Juneteenth because the whites are championing that day as though there is some meaning to it for us because if you are, then you are so stupid that you could actually be made to believe that shit don’t stink.
As long as the whites are telling you to ‘celebrate’ some bullshit, why…there you go. When the whites tell you to celebrate Black History Month…well, there you go. When the whites tell you to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day…why there you go. Those days have no meaning for us. Those days are the whites’ way of saying, “Look, I’ve given you much to celebrate. Now go out and buy shit and shut the hell up because that is all that we owe you. Fuck reparations. You’ll get a few days in which to celebrate what you think are freedoms.” And you know what, most of us do just that. You accept so little and will rejoice over a turd handed to you, especially if you are being told that that turd has special significance to you.
Whites are flaming liars, thieves, criminals and murderers; that’s what they’ve always been and that’s what they always will be. You cannot expect whites to do shit that would make a gnat’s ass worth of real difference in your life. They will talk shit to you and hope that you continue to buy it and eat it and you do and so why would they feel pressured to actually do anything of substance; anything of meaning? They wouldn’t.
When you celebrated Juneteenth, did it put any money into your pocket? Did it give you health insurance? Did it cure your diabetes since you have diabetes because of poor diet because you work minimum wage jobs and cannot afford the proper foods with nutrients needed for a healthy body? Did it move you out of a crime infested neighborhood that is wracked with gang violence? Did it close down the liquor store in your neighborhood owned by a foreigner brought over here for the express purpose of further reducing your time spent on this planet above ground? Did celebrating Juneteenth get the bank to approve a home loan for you? Did celebrating Juneteenth get you approved for an apartment in a nice section of town? Did celebrating Juneteenth get you into college? What was the purpose of you celebrating Juneteenth? There was none and the whites know this. The purpose of you celebrating Juneteenth was all for the whites. It had absolutely nothing to do with you since the whites know that whatever bone they toss you, you will run with it, be thankful for it and don’t question why the whites are hyping up some piece of shit ‘day of emancipation’ that never took place, because make no mistake, we are still slaves. We are still slaves in every way.
Look around you. What group in this country is in the worst possible condition? The group that was hellbent on celebrating Juneteenth, that’s who. What the fuck do you have to celebrate? American descendants of slavery are the poster children for homelessness, income inequality, mass incarceration, abject hunger, childhood poverty, high school drop-out rates out of the ballpark, inadequate or no health care, high mortality rates for Black women, babies and children and for both Black men and women, high mortality rates from being murdered by cops. And statistically speaking, we are at the bottom, economically and so disadvantaged, it has been stated that Black household wealth stands at $7.00. We have no real and true wealth; no tangible and intangible assets.
But that was not always the case. Whites destroyed everything we ever built for ourselves, from our homes to our institutions to our movements and so why do you think that they have no problem with us ‘celebrating’ Juneteenth, Black History Month and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day? It is because that is ALL we are to have. And for most of you, that seems to be enough!
And yet, when the protests were raging, all we heard from the whites and from the Black misleaders was, “Look! They are burning down their own neighborhoods!” What fucking neighborhoods do we own? Black people don’t own shit! The lone Black barbershop on the corner is nothing to screech about because, HELL! In Baltimore, MD, Black people have taken to doing curbside barbering. Those goddamn foreigners that the whites have over here on expired visas own that shit that was burned to the ground. If you look at the news out of Minneapolis, there was some Somali man standing there talking about how he owned this and that and was going to help the burned out community. SERIOUSLY??!! How did his tree climbing ass, crawl down from a tree in Somalia, fly the fuck over here and own some damn businesses when Black people, who were born here and are descendants of slaves, have to operate a ‘curbside’ barbershop and yet the whites and the Black misleaders want to exclaim that we are burning down our own damn businesses? What businesses? Yeah! Go do your research and get back to me on that. American descendants of slavery are doing so poorly because it is by design. Whites know why! And they intend on keeping that status quo the same for why else is every other group that comes over here, given every advantage in the world to build up shit, while our shit gets torn down by the whites who spy on us, constantly? They spy on us to make sure that we don’t get any ideas that we are ever going to get ahead because they make damn sure that they nip that shit in the bud before it can even get off the goddamn ground.
But we can happily celebrate Juneteenth because it does NOTHING for us! It is not supposed to, but we are satisfied because Amerikkka, this fucking year, celebrated Juneteenth with us. Ain’t that some shit??!! Indeed, it was!
—————————————————————————————————-
I published the above blog post last year this time and now this year, the whites have decided to make Juneteenth, a federal holiday. What the hell for? What difference will it make in the lives of those of us who are descendants of slavery? Will it improve our unemployment statistics? Our low wage job statistics? Our incarceration statistics? Our dying at the hands of government sanctioned thugs statistics? Our homelessness statistics? Our school-to-prison pipeline statistics? Will it stop Black women from dying in childbirth along with their babies? Will it stop gentrification? Will it stop evictions due to job loss? What will this so-called ‘holiday’ do besides put more money into the coffers of the whites?
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed legislation Thursday establishing a new federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery, saying he believes it will go down as one of the greatest honors he has as president.
Juneteenth is just another federal holiday for the whites. It’s just like Memorial Day! “Go out and buy some shit because a sale is on! Great reduction in prices and so shop til you’re broke!” Never mind the fact that you’re more than likely broke already, but the whites can always drum up more ways to make sure that you are.
And as usual, the same Judas Goats are foaming at the mouth over another table scrap thrown from Massa’s table. Just look at those Black fools.
And there they are; the usual suspects, beaming and some more shit over shit!
The sight of them just makes my stomach turn! As I have already stated, Black people will celebrate a turd thrown to them by the whites so long as it comes with bells and whistles and lacks substance of ANY kind. So go ahead and celebrate another turd the whites have given you, but as for me, I don’t eat shit!! I’ll leave that to the rest of you!!!
Now that you think you’ve done something constructive in the fight against an insidiously corrupt system of white supremacy, you can take your lame asses on home because you’ve accomplished, nothing.
I am SO very glad that I learned long ago, that protesting gets not a goddamn thing done. Some whites are sitting up somewhere talking about, “Look what we did. We added more bodies to the protest count and so THERE!” But what did any of that accomplish?
Despite calls by criminal justice reform activists for immediate changes to policing in America, there are some groups who appear content with buying time.
Last Monday, Bob Kroll, president of the Minneapolis police union, told me he had not read all of the bills working their way through the state legislature. But he cautioned against rushing through police reforms.
In comments that appeared tone-deaf to Floyd’s pleas to the officer choking him, Kroll said of efforts to rush through policing reform: “Everybody’s got to take a breath.”
Yes indeed, everybody’s got to take a breath, except, there are some Black folks that’s not taking a breath because the breath was knocked out of them by racist kops. And with a racist, hate spewing president in office throwing fuel on the ‘kops going on a killing frenzy’ fire, there is no stopping this mess. According to one article, Trump just retweeted a video of some white guy riding around on a golf cart in Florida screaming, “White power!” And if that is not bad enough, Trump praised the aggressive tactics of immigration officers and suggested that police shouldn’t protect the heads of handcuffed suspects being put in the back of a car.
“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon. You see them thrown in rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,'” Trump said to applause as he addressed a crowd of police officers in New York state.
So now that mostly everyone has gone home or back to their tent, for those who are homeless, all’s well that end’s well. The only group I hear that are still occupying space and protesting is in Seattle, WA. There are only a few hundred of them left since the cameras are no longer focusing on the protesting and have now been turned back to the so-called, uptick in COVID-19 cases in multiple states that are now re-thinking re-opening. But in Minneapolis, where one of the latest to get himself murdered by racist kops occurred, the protests are over and the Black folks are now sitting up in their tents in Powderhorn Park getting sexually assaulted.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A juvenile has been sexually assaulted at a Minneapolis homeless encampment. Tents started appearing in the park earlier this month. Some people started migrating to the park after they were evicted from a makeshift shelter inside a Minneapolis hotel several blocks away. At least 200 tents were recently pitched there.
And so again, what did the protests accomplish? Nothing. The same shit that was going down BEFORE the latest murders of Black people at the hands of racist kops is still going down. The Dems and the Repubs are still fighting over whose ‘reform’ bill does more to solve the problem of their out-of-control slave patrols while Trump is doing his usual, instigating the shit.
Meanwhile, American descendants of slavery, just as they’ve ALWAYS done, shut the fuck up, picked up their marbles and went to their various ‘homes’; be they apartment slums or tents, where they’ll either await their turn to have their lives snuffed out at the hands of the slave patrols or get sexually assaulted in a homeless encampment or die from the elements just as soon as winter sets in. The whites have already ordered the replacement glass for the few buildings’ windows that got busted out when the usual protests erupted. Oh the whites knew that if they just let you Black folks riot for a couple of days and then send in the National Guard to push your asses out-of-the-way, you’d get back to the business of realizing who is boss, and you always do.
What you fail to understand, Black folks, is that you cannot keep up the momentum. This shithole should still be burning from one end to the other, but as soon as the whites up the ante, you fall back and then wait for the next strike from the whites, which will be any day now. Just wait for it. You’ll be fired up again when you see video evidence of yet another atrocity and back to the protest line you will go. You mean, you still haven’t figured out that what you are doing is the very definition of insanity? Doing the same thing, over and over again and expecting a different result? And yet, you get the same result; NOTHING. The whites know Black folks like they know no other. They know your moves before you even make them. But you refuse to learn your enemy. You refuse to throw his ass off by doing the opposite of what he expects. You’re an open book, Black folks. You have no idea what sleight of hand means. You have no idea how to play chess. You can’t even play a good game of checkers against the whites. And you know why, because when your enemy was studying you, they had given you those gadgets to hypnotize your ass so that when you looked up, you were victims of drug addiction, gang violence, mass incarceration, the school-to-prison pipeline, gentrification, low educational attainment, income inequality, mass homelessness, prostitution, illiteracy, poverty, low wage jobs and immigrant owned liquor stores, convenience stores and fake ass food take-out joints in your few remaining ‘communities’. Your so-called, “communities” were in ruins and yet what does the media screech and wail about when you protest? They screech and wail about how you are burning down your own communities when you don’t own shit in those white-owned, slum communities! Oh, they’ve got you figured out to a ‘T’ and with the media 100% white-owned, they get the message out that those horrible Black folks are just a burning down their own communities when the whites know good and goddamn well that Black people don’t own shit! The whites make damn sure of that; they always have and they always will.
Even the poor whites don’t want us living around them. There is a building out in Maple Plain, MN where no Black person can live because the poor whites out there, run every single one of them out of that building. The building is managed by Commonbond Communities and that entire company is racist as hell, just as every other entity is racist as hell including entities that get government money by way of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Housing and Urban Development(HUD), and the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. Hardly any American descendant of slavery can reside in ANY building that is managed or owned by the MPHA because MPHA strictly houses immigrants from Somalia, Nigeria, Mexico and Asia and MPHA is HUD funded. Minnesota wants immigrants. Minnesota does not want American descendants of slavery. They reside in homeless shelters and in homeless encampments. But at one time, HUD was set up to set us up. How do you think guns and drugs became so prevalent in so-called Black communities? It was thanks to the CIA and HUD. HUD projects were almost exclusively Black and so the CIA had no problem flooding those projects with guns and drugs and now whites want to sit back and gleefully point the finger at crime and violence in those housing projects that were set up for the express purpose of sending American descendants of slavery to hell!
So you keep running out on the streets protesting for a few days when the shit hits the fan and then go right on back to your fucked life as though nothing untoward is happening until you see a video of someone getting murdered by the police. You should be going the fuck off over the fact that you can’t fucking breathe because the whites have their foot on every single one of our goddamn necks for something that they did. Those deranged, foaming at the mouth, racist ass whites dragged us the fuck over here and yet are making us pay for some foul ass, vicious shit THEY did! But yet if you go to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, you will find only American descendants of slavery getting anti-psychotic injections like we’re the crazy fuckers when in reality, there can be no more depraved, debased lunatic than the whites! Those worthless motherfuckers are psychopaths!
Malcolm X was spot on! Whites are going to keep their goddamn foot on our necks because we don’t have sense enough to know that since we don’t own a goddamn thing, and our ancestors built this shit, what the fuck do we have to lose? A goddamn tent??!!!
a holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.
What does emancipation mean?
emancipation
[əˌmansəˈpāSH(ə)n]
NOUN
the fact or process of being set free from legal, social, or political restrictions; liberation.
“the early struggle for emancipation from slavery”
So when you look at why Juneteenth is celebrated and you look at what emancipation means, tell me, American Descendants of Slavery, how are you free, liberated, unshackled, unyoked, uncaged, unbridled and unfettered?
When the protesters were in Minneapolis going the fuck off, those who are descendants of the racist shits that enslaved our ancestors were busy spying on the mostly Black protesters via drones, spy planes and spy helicopters in order to arrest people who were supposedly, liberated. But we know that we are not liberated because the protesters were protesting because a Black man was detained and murdered for no reason. So, what were you celebrating on Juneteenth?

You accept so little and will rejoice over a turd handed to you, especially if you are being told that that turd has special significance to you.

To finally get some peace, he had to die out on the street,
killed by hate and racism from every white man we still meet.
For over four hundred years, we have been screaming out our pain,
and little did we know that our screams were all in vain.
The world is finally listening, but what good will that do us?
We marched to sit up front, but now we’re underneath the bus.
The ‘leader’ of this country stood and told us we are “THUGS!”
And then he told his gangsters to stomp us like we’re bugs.
We own no tanks or missiles, nor drones to take a stand.
We’re tired and poor and cursed in this white man’s stolen land.
Our death is all they seek and so we’re off to bury the dead.
Because to them we lack humanity, though our blood is also red.
Why must we bear the blame for a crime we didn’t commit?
To this day, it seems we’re slaves and to their will, we must submit.
We are a people without a country; we are clouds in a savage storm.
blown away by white supremacy, a system they can’t reform.
One day, there’ll be a reckoning that we won’t live to see
for those of us alive today, are still yearning to be free.
It is a sad ass shame that the only way those of us who are descendants of slaves who were dragged over here to ‘serve’ the white man AND white woman’s every whim, can expect to get any peace from them is by being murdered at their hands. There are too many times that we have trudged through a cemetery to bury our dead and some racist kop was never indicted or even fired from his duties of murdering us.
Poor Black people, who mostly cannot even afford life insurance, have to make use of crowd funding or either some ‘celebrity’ will come forward to pay for the funeral expenses. From cradle to grave, we are to forever hand the white man some money while he is busy killing us since many Black women’s babies die in childbirth in this supposedly, First World Nation. What sense does that make? And even if we make it to our teenage years, we are still murdered for merely coming home from a store, carrying iced tea and skittles. Our children cannot even play in a park without getting shot dead. We cannot drive down the street without getting pulled over and shot for complying with the orders to produce our identification. We cannot sleep in our beds without kops beating down the door and shooting us as we lay deep in slumber and yet, none are held accountable for what they do to us.
And now, another Black family, the family of George Floyd, is about set to bury him because he went into a store and was accused of trying to purchase items with a counterfeit bill, and I have heard that even that was a lie. But even so, was that any reason for a racist kop to murder him, casually as though he was merely a bug to be squashed on the sidewalk? As if that is not bad enough, a stomp down, flaming racist, draft dodging bigot has the nerve to order the U.S. military to ‘put us down’ when he was scared too shitless to even join the very military he has called out on us. What sense does that make?
But you whites want to write blog after blog about how ‘woke’ your ass is now! You ain’t woke. Your funky, filthy ass racist petticoat is showing and the world is now denouncing the shit that you’ve been subjecting us to for hundreds of years in this shithole. You haven’t been struck by a ray of conscientiousness. You don’t even have a conscience to berate you, for if you did, would our situation now be making headline news all across this godforsaken planet that you have managed to fuck up? Hell no, it wouldn’t.
You whites think that you’re doing something by showing up at a protest with a sign stating, “Black Lives Matter!” Our lives have never mattered to you and don’t you think for one damn second that I am buying your flaming lies now! So save it! I’m not buying your sudden displays of solidarity when you are why GENTRIFICATION has driven us into homelessness. You are why we are incarcerated by the millions. You are why we are dumb as shit because while you are funding private schools with our money, public schools don’t even have computers or enough books in them and this you know. We are the faces of the jobless, the hungry and the homeless and the disparities in healthcare is obscene and dangerous and is causing our demise at a faster rate than yours. We don’t have any hopes of longevity and most don’t even want to live long, hopeless, racism filled lives of despair!
You whites have shitted on us from the time our ancestors were dragged ashore and you are still shitting on us and telling us that we are to blame for crime in the inner cities; that we are to blame for not having land and wealth to hand down to our sons and daughters. How the hell can we hand a damn thing down to anyone when you made damn sure that you owned it ALL because you damn well owned our ancestors that you claimed were only three fifths of a human? How the hell did you expect us to overcome that shit? YOU DIDN’T. So don’t now turn around and act like you are just getting hit with an epiphany. You know what the fuck you’ve been doing to us and you’re not about to stop that shit now. Shove that fake ass solidarity shit up your pale asses because I am having none of it!
How the hell did that man, George Floyd, deserve that? But that is ALL too familiar to us! And you dirty, filthy, racist whites know that this has been going down for centuries. You know this because racists like that piece of shit are YOUR family members and you know your own damn family because you’re one of them. So don’t now claim that you had no idea about ANY of this shit because you’re a goddamn liar! Fucking flaming, racist hypocrites! I despise you ALL!
Calls for rent strikes so that you won’t end up walking around like this poor woman in the next picture, is that it? What’s ‘good’ for her is ‘good’ for you!
Remember when the word, “GENTRIFICATION!” reared its gentryfying head, and we ALL know who gentrification impacted; American descendants of slavery, but now since millions of Americans are on lockdown thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, there are calls from people from damn near every income group to cease and desist with paying rent. There are calls to stand in solidarity thanks to coronavirus putting millions of Americans out-of-work and thus rendering them unable to come up with the rent. Heaven forbid, anyone other than American descendants of slavery be forced into homelessness.
And so, once again, what we have here is a “When they came for the Black folks, I did not speak up because I’m not Black, but now that they’ve come for my ass, SOLIDARITY RENT STRIKES EVERYONE!,” scenario? Really??!! Y’all want to go there?! Now that you can’t pay YOUR rent, we are all to sit together for our kumbaya moment and not pay rent? You see, you can do the shit when it impacts you on a personal level, but when it’s just impacting THOSE people over there, well..now..what’s the problem? The problem, as you can clearly see, is that what comes around, goes around and now that the shit is hitting the fan in a big ass way for those who are not just American descendants of slavery, but for millions of OTHER Americans, it is now time to band together against unfair landlords who still expect their rent during a time of extreme crisis. Never mind the fact that Black people have been experiencing a crisis long before coronavirus reared its viral head and no one called for “SOLIDARITY AGAINST GENTRIFICATION!” No one said how UNFAIR it was for white landlords to displace millions of American descendants of slavery so that upper crust whites could come in and take over where poor Black folks used to live. That shit was allowed to ramp up and in spades, hence why mass homelessness of American descendants of slavery escalated into an epidemic.
Millions of American descendants of slavery are already homeless and I don’t even know where many of them have gone because since entire states are on lockdown, what the hell does that mean for the homeless? Homeless shelters have been putting people out due to the fact that multiple people residing in close quarters is a breeding ground for coronavirus. In Las Vegas, the homeless are being moved to a parking lot since yet another homeless shelter closed.
Images of homeless people sleeping in a converted parking lot in Las Vegas have sparked criticism, even as the city officials describe an “emergency situation” and say the solution was the best option after another shelter was forced to close amid the coronavirus crisis.
But now that coronavirus is causing tens of millions of Americans of all stripes to file for unemployment, including the self-employed; business owners, we must all act as one. We must strike back at the landlords who are being totally unreasonable in expecting people to pay their rent during a pandemic when millions are on lockdown. How is that your fault, right? How was it the fault of those Black people who were put out of their homes thanks to rising rents that they could not afford? Where was the solidarity with them in their hour of need? But now that the shit ain’t looking so good for millions and seeing as how there is no end in sight, it is now time for a movement to gather steam against really, really bad, unreasonable landlords who also have mortgages and bills to pay. They must find another way to pay those bills while you don’t pay the landlord. The rallying cry is, “Well, the non-essential courts are closed and so they cannot take you to court anyway.” Okay, but when the shit is back up and running, you know that out on the street you go, right, and you don’t want to have to sit next to THOSE people whom you simply ignored when they were and still are going through THEIR crisis. It ain’t so fun to deal with that kind of shit now, is it? You never thought that you’d be facing eviction because you’re not one of THOSE people. Well, you’re facing it now and you’re scared senseless. You’re banding together because you’re terrified to face this alone. You need all the support that you can get because there’s no way in hell that you’ve got the gonads to go it alone and attempt to fight a landlord to let you stay in your home without paying rent. Safety in numbers, right? Well ain’t you just the scared shitless shit?!! Never mind the fact that you can still remember THOSE people holding up cardboard signs asking for spare change as you tried hard to ignore them as you made your way inside Starbucks to get your caffeine fix and then to your job you went; that job that no longer exists because the doors are closed and may never open again. So now, it’s RENT STRIKE TIME!
You shameless shits are something else. Even your signs to display your solidarity in rent strikes are white. Yep, if you’re in with this rent strike movement, hang a white sheet outside to show your solidarity in us all being in this rent strike thing together, eh? Where were the white sheets when the Black folks were being pushed into homelessness? Where were the letters to landlords telling them that the shit they were about to do was wrong? Where were the cries to cease and desist with gentrification? There were none, hence why there is such an epidemic of Black homelessness in this hellhole. But now the cries for landlords to cease and desist with evictions is deafening. Even restaurant owners are having to close up shop and file for unemployment. I saw a white man on the local news talking about how hard it’s been for him to try to speak to anyone to receive unemployment benefits because he cannot simply fill out an online form because of his special circumstances of being self employed and not having had a salary. Oh the moaning and wailing, I can just imagine that’s going on now. Not to mention the cops are stating that the majority of calls they get are for domestic violence. Can’t pay the rent, can’t entertain the kiddies, can’t go out, the shit is getting real and now that you’re finally woke because you’ve got no goddamn choice, it is time to ACT. So a rent strike, it is. Yeah! Good luck with that because the same hard hearted assholes that saw nothing wrong in putting American descendants of slavery out of their homes are what you are up against. Do you seriously think that they are going to treat your broke asses any better than they treated those who look like me? Yeah! Get back to me on that, why doncha! And by all means, continue to look to your lord and savior, racist-in-chief Donald Trump for some help and your asses will indeed, find yourselves making use of that sheet to lie on at a parking lot in Las Vegas or wherever the hell else the homeless are being allowed to make use of during this crisis. You will never understand that “What comes around, goes around.” Karma is a bitch, ain’t she!
A few years ago, I wrote a poem about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and that poem elicited some comments that basically intimated that Dr. King and all the others who were part of the Civil Rights struggle actually made no gains, period. Now, we can argue over it all day and all night as to whether or not Dr. King and crew were successful in their endeavors, but one thing I would like you to do is to continue reading and decide for yourself. And I will give Dr. King one thing, he tried….. something. Whether or not it was the right thing? You tell me.
Of Dr. King, We Are Just So Proud!
Of Dr. King, we are just so proud. That man, he always drew a crowd. He paved the way to a much brighter day. His dream is alive in every way.
Tamir Rice is here to tell his story. And Sandra Bland has no need to ever worry, that her life will be snuffed out in a cell, because Dr. King, he rang the freedom bell.
Michael Brown is in college where he belongs. Eric Garner is in church singing spiritual songs. Walter Scott is still driving down the street. Freddie Gray is sitting down to a meal to eat.
They all owe their lives to Dr. King. He said, “Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!” On the mountaintop, he saw through space and time. And yet, they killed him while he was in his prime.
We thank him for the debt he willingly paid, and for all the sacrifices he and his family made. But what we will never know for certain, is how he would react when they finally raise the curtain, on a show that is a tragedy of the darkest kind, and where Blacks are still left so far behind. This play will not have a happy ending, for its ending is just like its beginning.
Behold, the face of slavery is still Black. And as in days of old, we are under attack. But a man had a dream for which he died. Was it all for naught? I’ll let you decide!
I want you to take some time to reflect on the question I posed. “Was it all for naught?” If Black people have made so many gains in the decades since the Civil Rights Movement, then where are they? If we as a people have ‘moved’ forward, then where are the results? #BLACKLIVESMATTER? Give me a break! If we as a people had moved, there would be no need for the #BLACKLIVESMATTER Movement, now would there? The incarceration rate for Black men is off the charts. Millions of Black people live in deep poverty and a ridiculously high number of them are Black children. Millions of Black people are jobless, homeless and hungry and lack healthcare. But here we are, about to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day. Celebrate what, I ask you? Tell me! What is there tocelebrate? Staggering unemployment figures for Black youth and young adults? A homelessness epidemic? Mass incarceration? A school-to-prison pipeline? Out-of-control racist KKKops brutalizing and murdering unarmed Black people? Grand Juries that refuse to hand down indictments on racist thugs with badges? Gun violence in Black communities that are so impoverished as to be likened to 3rd world nation conditions?
And yet the ‘whites’ sit back and gleefully point the finger at what is going down in communities of color and point to how ‘violent they are when they know why. Whites know that this is all done by design, but it is so easy for them to live in their little ‘white bread’ world and hurl invectives and “I told you sos” when ‘whites’ are hell bent on gentrifying neighborhoods that once housed Black people because the suburbs was once the place to be if you were ‘white’. You sit somewhere with your holier-than-thou attitudes as though your shit don’t stink. You shamelessly and callously wish death on a group of people who were not responsible for being dragged to this hellhole you call, America. You strut around like proud peacocks, puffing your chests out and pretending that you’re not rotten filth when you are actually worse than that. And you have theunmitigated gall to pretend to acknowledge Dr. King with your phony ass displays of righteous indignation over the brutal treatment he received at the hands of you ‘whites’. You have the nerve to speak his name, to post his “I Have A Dream” speech as though you ever did a thing to help bring his dream to fruition. You’ve done everything possible to see to it that his dream was never realized and you are not fit to read his name, much less speak it. Why you have not burst into flames upon speaking his name is a complete and utter mystery to me because all that should be left of you is ‘white’ ash!
The above is what I also posted along with the poem and next, I am going to post a comment about this particular post and my response.

I’ve always looked at MLK with curious eye because my parent were both Black Panthers when I was growing up and Dr. King was almost forbidden in my house. I only saw him as an on bent knee begging white people for some table scraps and to please not hit us anymore. Though growing up, I’ve come to understand him a bit better and my only thought now about the man is, “praying has brought Black peoples nothing but dirty knees and empty pockets.”

HLJ, this isn’t so much about me revering Dr. King as it is about exposing the blatant and outrageous hypocrisy of the ‘whites’. They are the very ones who go on and on about Dr. King’s ‘dream’ when it is quite obvious that they gave not a damn for the man nor his dream. They spout useless rhetoric each and every time the holiday in his name comes around and that is all they do. And while they are doing this, the continuation of enslavement of Black people continues, the continuation of the Negro status as that of 3rd class ‘citizen’ continues. We aren’t even tolerated in this shithole. We are incarcerated and murdered and yet the ‘whites’ go on and on about how thankful Blacks should be since we are supposedly living in the ‘greatest nation on earth’. I fucking beg to differ with that assessment. Black people are a people without a country. We are enslaved in a system that is corrupt to its core and is filled with racist filth and we are expected to subjugate ourselves to criminals of the worst kind.
Dr. King was but a tool and he was used to put down any attempt at an insurrection, a rebellion or a revolution. The ‘whites’ condoned the actions of Dr. King because he was their namby-pamby house Negro; the same as Barack Obama and all the rest of the coon head sell-outs that bow and scrape to the ‘white’ motherfuckers and lick their boots clean while scrabbling for their table scraps at the same time. I am not giving any accolades to Dr. King because he was no revolutionary, he was a stooge. My poem is a sarcastic and antonymous portrayal of Dr. King. That is why I stated that because of Dr. King, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown and Walter Scott and so many others have him to ‘thank’ for their lives. My point is to also show how far we have NOT come even with these so-called ‘movements’ that are merely fake assed props that are put in place to give Black people the illusion that they are actually doing something constructive to put a stop to the genocide of them by the ‘whites’. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Dr. King was just a figurehead, a prop; complete with suit and tie and bible. He was the ‘white’ mans house nigger and he did a fine of job of spreading the ‘white’ man’s propaganda of telling Black people to go about effecting change, all peaceful like. And when his usefulness was over, they fucking killed him just to show that a gun is aimed at us at ALL times because we are still their property! Fuck ’em!
I thank you for your comment.
And another great comment I thought I should add.
Good post. A lot of us at least have some idea of the real deal with him but too many don’t. They could start looking at what really happened with the march on Washington. They should ask themselves why do we only hear of one person from that era? I also think someone else wrote most of his famous speeches? While he stayed with mostly the same approach, Dr. King had doubts about a lot of what he had said earlier before his death.
How long will we keep marching? Those of us who are marching need to stop. When will we get to the “Dream”?
Is this another white Jesus thing? To be fair, there were black Christians who pretty much can’t be criticized but his approach seemed to be pulled straight from parts of the Bible that even those who believe in the BIble find hard to justify(I myself don’t believe in those passages or the books that contained them).
shelbycourtland’s response:
They can consider Dr. King to have been a figurehead, a Civil Rights leader, a scapegoat or what have you, but his sole purpose was to misdirect Black people’s anger away from fucking shit up but instead focused it on ‘peacefully’ marching down the goddamn street of every pothole filled city in this shithole. You don’t hear the ‘whites’ screaming and jumping up and down about setting aside a day in which to honor Malcolm X. And you won’t! Malcolm X was not going on and on about some ‘peaceful’ this and ‘peaceful’ that. He had some harsh words for those vile ‘white’ shits that have firmly planted their boot on our Black ass and refuse to lift it.
Malcolm X was a revolutionary who believed in violent resistance, he believed in getting things done ‘by any means necessary’. That is why he said, “It’s got to be the ballot or the bullet.” The ballot ain’t worked. And we ALL fucking know what it would take but the revolutionaries of the ’60s are either dead or still locked up and so we just dutifully continue with the useless ass marches and protests with signs dating back 50 years when not a goddamn thing is going to change simply because we are holding up a sign. What has #BLACKLIVESMATTER accomplished? Not a goddamn thing!
Thank you for your comment N.S.
As I have stated before, peruse this content to your heart’s content and then think about the state that Black Amerikkka is in today and you tell me, did ALL of that marching and protesting lead to ANY gains? And if so, how so? Where are they? Black people are more asleep today than than they were in the 60s thanks to dumb ass rap music, pretend beefs among so-called Black celebrities, Youtube madness, Twitter and Facebook mess and the like is endless. There is only moaning and whining coming from Black Amerikkka when Black people do eventually look up and realize how fucked we are that is until another distraction down the pike; another Black Panther Movie or Madea bullshit movie from the likes of Tyler Perry’s faggot ass! That shit, we don’t need. Hell! Damn near half of Black Amerikkka has no idea why today is being ‘celebrated’. Check this shit out!
Just skip to the five minute mark when she says, “The kids are out of school on Monday and we don’t even know why.” Also, her sixteen year old daughter did not even know why she is out of school today. Seriously???!!!! Too busy staring down at shit on a phone, most likely is the reason and the mother is just too dizzy for words.
This is what we have to work with these days and it is quite obvious, that we have nothing to work with. So you tell me, what was it all for? Cluelessness? Ignorance? Gluttony? Youtube channels? Twitter? Facebook?
Black Amerikkka is dealing with rabid racism, gentrification, income inequality, mass incarceration, a school-to-prison pipeline, disparities in healthcare, child poverty, a homeless epidemic, crime infested neighborhoods, drugs and gangs and prostitution that is out-of-control and the list of the like is endless and yet, here we are ‘celebrating’ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Day. For what? And in less than two weeks, we shall be expected to ‘celebrate ‘Black History Month’. Why? Because I have just described ‘Black History’ up to present day and so what is there to celebrate? You tell me. I can’t wait.
