Might it be
horrifically appropriate that Tulsa, Oklahoma be the time
n� place where White folks went �retro,� reverting back
to the vicious and cowardly cold-blooded barbarians US
history can�t help but paint n� taint them as...
The Killing
Season may be upon us.
I could use
this opportunity here at BlackCommentator.com to
discuss a number of heavy, pressing issues, however, I
can�t find anything more demanding of Black America�s
undivided attention then the White snowball-of-hatred
we see gathering steam and momentum in the form of the
random drive-by killings of Black men by two White men
in a pick-up truck.
Predictably,Tulsa
police are reluctant to describe the executions as racially
motivated, but City Councilman Jack Henderson was not.
�Being an NAACP
president for seven years, I think that somebody that
committed these crimes were very upset with black people,�
Henderson said. �That person happened to be a white person,
the people they happened to kill and shoot are black people.
That fits the bill for me.�
Turn off the
music, put down the remote and come over here to the burning
bush of truth and take a look, a long look at the anger
and hostility which has been gathering amongst, and this
is significant, most White folks, not all, but most
White folks, since President Obama moved into the previously
Lily White White House.
Hell, we all
sit here begging the Gods, your God, my God, any God,
to keep a watchful-eye on this man and his beautiful family,
because there are those amongst us who well remember four
little girls who died in a Birmingham church. When White
men get fed up with integration or diversity, no one is
safe.
Considering
the race game-changing incidents in Tulsa and Sanford
Florida, and the outpouring of support for George
Zimmerman,.along with the usual level of over-the-top
police brutality, everyday Black commoners n� peasants
had better start watching our own behinds. Yes, the run-of-the-mill
Black person may return to being the prime target of White
hatred, as we were for decades, centuries in this land.
Stop me when
I start lying. Until then...I�m gonna� make it rain cold
hard facts up in here.
Here we sit:
us Black folks hopin�, prayin�, n� wishin� like hell the,
dig this, �good White folks� protect us from what? From
whom? The majority of White folks who aren�t good? Our
fate is in the hands of pacifists, missionaries, artists,
writers, Hippies and aging Flower Children... confronting
the WASP warrior class - soldiers, policemen, Blue Collar
Rednecks...
Un-flippin�
believable ...!
These so-called
liberal cats have proven to have the backbone of Gumby
at critical times. I can�t say I�d like to have these
mellow cats help me fight my way out of a wet paper sack.
Call out the
Black Guard!
Oh yeah, there
ain�t one.
Our lives,and
the lives of our family and loved ones, are in the hands
of your local police, the very individuals Black folks
on a whole fear. Isn�t that one-hell of a contradiction?
Considering the racial cold civil war is heating up - and
there�s no denying that - if there�s ever a reason for Black folks to organize themselves, it is
now, in the face of a nation of semi-hostile �Patriots�
who�ve just fueled the largest purchase of ammunition
and arms by the civilian population. They have a history
of callously murdering Black folks on a level which can
only be described as verging on the edge of genocide.
Call it a
2:37 in the AM wake-your-ass-up call...
Under these
adverse conditions, someone please enlighten me as why
some version of the Black Panthers are not needed in Black
neighborhoods and communities from LA to Charleston Bay?
If the Jews can rightfully and loudly declare �never again!�
why can�t Black folks?
And if half-mad
with blind hatred White men are gunning down Black men
today, it�ll be Brown men tomorrow, and Yellow men the
next day. Little girls n� boys, old folks the next week.
Bloods, Crips, Vice Lords and Disciples, but down that doo rag and put on
that Black Beret, which has always been the nightmare
of those who want to return to the days when apartheid
ruled the American landscape. There�s always been a fear
Black men would stop rappin� about and start reading Frederick
Douglass and Malcolm X.
2012, for Black
America it�s the year of the ballot, the bullet or the
Passport.
