Will THE WORLD'S BLACK FOLK, ever, "Wake-Up"??
"Mother" came this Sunday morning, at "first light"; as she has every morning for nearly 70 years now. It was on that fateful Sunday in September of 1945 that we all last saw her alive. She came to kiss us goodbye, as she went off to the "Black" Hospital to deliver our little brother. Neither returned.
As I recline in my hot, tub, soaking these old bones, I re-read part of Derrick Bell's Faces At The Bottom Of The Well (1992). I read the part entitled: Racial Symbols, a Limited Legacy. I recommend it highly for anyone on this planet who yearns to put an end to the racial madness that has gripped it since 1492.
The "Nazi Pope" came "out" in the Media last week to confer with Pope Too (collude??). Frontline will air a special expose' this week of the "show trial" of the Pontiff 's Butler. We can all decide, apparently, whether "the Butler did it!" Oh, the webs they weave in Italy (from whence we garner the likes of Chrisite?).
Back to the 'Black Symbols' in Bell's Book: The chapter I read this morning involved a conversation between a black "limo" driver and his Harvard, Black Professor, passenger. Given what we know to have happened since 1992, the re-read is quite informative and enlightening. Especially as we watch our Harvard-Educated Black/White first President struggle with some of the most intractable, and raw, racism; unlike any we've seen in our life-times! "Bubba" Clinton and his international cronies are busy today "gentrifying" Harlem; where this chapter in the book takes place. The "teaching" moment, delivered to the Professor by the chauffeur is exquisite!
Read it! If you dare! I recommend it especially to Toure', the black Millenial who counsels "mollification"!
This should comfort those black mothers who have lost sons to this sickness recently, and those who struggle to keep their sons alive.
Stay Vigilant! My Sunday Sermon.....
