a Time to "Reflect"?
As the Candidacies of TRUMP and CRUZ (and those other "also-rans" among Repoobs) show; the White Right is firmly in Control of our Politics in 2016; thanks to the "Gift that keeps on Giving" -- Booker T. Washington! They OWN his legacy, as shown by Clarence Thomas (thanks to Daddy Bush); Condi Rice (thanks to "W" Bush), and "Stand Your Ground" aka JEBs LAW (no thanks, to JEB Bush)! Booker T's gift to Crackerdom was stated in his famous "Five Fingers Speech" at the Atlanta Exposition, in 1895. Taking from Phillis Wheatley's "On Being Brought to America" http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174733 to America", Booker T Washington.; the darling of White Industrialist supporters of JIM CROW, and touted Black Leader; declared that Black People were NOT Human, and, therefore, deserved no Human Rights. As Wheatley allowed, however, they could be "refined". Miss Condi stressed her "refinements"; while Thomas hid his; behind Scalia. Both, have left Blacks in the USA, and throughout all Continents, in psychological servitude to a multitude of White Institutions. BEHOLD! The BLACK (ameriken) CONSERVATIVE !!
Eschewing much wiser individuals as Role Models; such as, Frederick Douglass, or Thurgood Marshall, or, Malcolm-X; we've, istead, allowed these Black "Conservatives", whose lack of belief in their own humanity appears permanent; to continue the most egregious impacts of Slavery!! The facts -- that the Black victims in the South Carolina church waited patiently for their turn to die; and the Jury in the Trayvon Trial could find no grounds, within "White Justice", to punish his murderer; just about sum-up our current circumstance -- as a People, and, as a Nation! Are these today's "book-ends" for that History??
In the meantime, the old Ball keeps roll-in' along! We assert our "achievements" for, what we mistake as "knowledge" that was stuffed into our heads by white sources. We fail to use today's unparalleled technological capabilities, to ferret out TRUTH! The "Baby-Momma" Factories are running today, almost as efficiently as they did on the Plantations, described by Douglass. We can now "visit" with newly-freed Slaves, thanks to the writing of W.E.B. Dubois, and his description of their day-to-day lives of in the Hills of Tennessee.
Stay Vigilant! The price of staying this course grows higher by the day. Black children were safer in those surroundings, described by Du Bois, than they are on the streets of the United States today!!
