Yes, I'm angry. These days, I find that it does not take much to make me down right hostile. Why am I angry, you ask? How much time do you have?
Europeans had the unmitigated gall to get lost on their way to another country, "find" a land that was already inhabited, and treat the indigenous people like trash. After stealing most of the land from the Native Americans, and calling them heathens, those same Europeans then attempted to kill them off in order to steal the remainder of their land. The Native Americans today are treated like unwanted guest in their own home. I'm surprised they haven't kicked us out.
Let's talk about the Chinese immigrants who came to this country in order to gain freedom. During the "Wild Wild West" (that's what they call it, don't they?), the Chinese immigrants were treated like servants. They were relegated to doing laundry and strip mining for their oppressors. They were and still are treated less than Men and Women in many circles.
On the same tip, the Japanese-Americans were put into camps, during World War II and their possessions were stolen, so that the white people in this country would feel safe from terrorist activities. Somehow these Men and Women were automatically suspected as possible spies and terrorist. The nerve!
As for the Africans, over 100 Million Africans were abducted from Africa, packed into the bottoms of slave ships like beasts, and the survivors were sold like cattle into slavery. African Men were castrated, roasted, lynched, hunted and tortured. African Women were raped, had babies cut from their bodies, terrorized, beaten, lynched, and brainwashed. Our Ancestors were possessions, and only considered 3/5's of a human being. What kind of crap was that?
After slavery ended, three hundred years later, the descendants of the slave master, had the unmitigated gall to torture and murder innocent civil rights workers, who only wanted to help their people gain basic human rights. Bothers Malcolm X, Martin L. King, and Medger Edgers, along with many others, were murdered in cold blood, by the descendants of slave masters.
These beasts actually had the audacity to create a terrorist group called the KKK, which was and still is sanctioned in this country. Oh, I hear you saying that the KKK isn't sanctioned. Remember the Black Panthers and the Move group? Both of those groups were exterminated by the FBI and local so-called law enforcement. Why were they set upon and murdered, and the KKK is still able to continue their activities, if they are not sanctioned?
There is a Neo-Nazi group, called Skin Heads, that actively practice the same techniques as the KKK and is considered a splinter group of the original beast. While being spied on, they have not been broken up, so they too may be considered sanctioned.
Both of these groups still practice cross burning, and will tell anyone that listens that they are Christians. If the cross is a symbol of the Savior dying to save their sins, how can they desecrate that symbol with a clear conscious? If that is what a Christian does, ALLAH (GOD) knows that I don't want to be counted as a Christian!
The Tuskeegee Study was horrible. Who would have though that the US Health Department would purposely infect Black Men with syphilis and/or deny them treatment to study it's ramifications? But it was done and lasted 40 years. After learning of that mess, I have no doubt that Aids is a Man made disease, and was intended for genocide purposes. How can you doubt it after learning of the Tuskeegee Study and the nuclear experiments this country has done?
Today, the trash continues. Bro. Rodney King got the hell beat out of him, and when LA rioted because the perps got off scott free, he had been so brainwashed that he got on TV and said "Can't we all just get along?" Ain't that some crap? Poor Brother, he will never be the same, so we have to look on him as being a little "touched", as we used to say.
Prince George's County, Md has the worst reputation of police brutality in the country, and for some reason, it just does not stop. What will it take for those beasts to start acting like human beings? Do they know how to act like human beings? The police Department of Cook County, IL actually placed electrodes on the testicles of Black Men for more than 5 years. What is that, and why was it allowed to continue?
Black Men and Women are dying from Aids, drugs, murder, poverty and ignorance. I ride the buses regularly and I can't begin to tell you the number of Black Men I see, who have nothing better to do than to hang out on corners, drunk or high. These Men have no one who care about them enough to clean them up and give them jobs. If the Brothers from The Nation of Islam attempt to talk to them, they don't want to hear it. They are so foolish that they would rather waste their lives, than to be cleaned up and listen to our well meaning Brothers.
I am tired of going to meetings and hearing the knowledge of strong and intelligent Black Men and Women, and then seeing the news media slander courageous Brothers like Malik Zulu Shabazz, Dr. Khallid Muhammad, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, and a host of others.
I am tired of seeing O.J. Simpson on my television! The railroad job that the media did on Michael Jackson wasn't enough, so they had to get another Back Man to disgrace and parade before the world. I know more than I ever wanted to about O.J. Simpson, and I am sick of it.
I am still furious over the murder attempt on Dr. Khallid Muhammad. Yes, he's outspoken, what of it? If it wasn't for Black Men like Brother Khallid, we would still be slaves. I will quote Public Enemy and say to those that have much to say about my Brother "Don't judge the Man, until you hear the Man". If you haven't listened to a speech by him, or seen him, keep your mouth shut about my Brother! Do not take the media's lies as gospel about Khallid, take the time and listen to a tape or go and see him for yourself. It's not hard to do, he lectures at many places. You just may be surprised and find that he is telling the truth! It may be harsh, but truth is sometimes harsh.
Our so called Leaders are selling us out and capitulating to the descendants of slave masters. The Crime Bill was passed, after some wobbling by the CBC. It is my predication that the Crime Bill will cause even more numbers of Black Men to receive the Death Penalty, or live on death row for the remainder of their lives, and it makes me sick to think of it!
I am fed up with people telling me to quiet down and be "nice". We have been too !@#$ nice for too &!*% long. We have bent over backwards trying to nicely tell the oppressor that his crap stinks. Guess what? He knows his crap stinks, and he don't care! He's in control, or so he thinks. It's going to be a big surprise when he find out that ALLAH (GOD) is waking people up all over the place.
While I love Bro. Malcolm X, I am disgusted that the media would resurrect him from his grave in order to persecute Minister Farrakhan in an attempt to say that The Minister masterminded Malcolm's murder. This shows their fear of The Minister, and we should expect some fool to try to kill him. To those thinking of it, DON'T DO IT! It just ain't worth the consequences. This country rocked and rolled when Dr. King was killed and when those beasts got off in LA. Imagine what will happen if Bro. Farrakhan is killed by an agent!
When I saw the movie Sankofa, I cried like a baby. My sisters, who went with me, were shocked that I was able to cry in public without shame. When I think of slavery, it is not a concept for me, all I have to do is think of my Great Aunts or Uncles and think of the way they could have been treated. When Sankofa was over, I understood the anger of Khallid Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Minister Farrakhan, for I felt the same anger. I went on a tirade about the movie and the inhumane treatment of our Ancestors for a good hour. I was so !@#$ mad, I almost blew a gasket.
I have had enough of rag head, buck dancing, scratching where they don't itch, Negroes who have the nerve to act as if they speak for the Black Men and Women in this country. Armstrong Williams needs to shut his mouth. He does not speak for me. Yes I too was raised with traditional values, but I was raised to seek truth and justice.
I have no need to be accepted by white people and I do not care what they think of me. White people have the nerve to say "Why are you angry?", like they don't have a clue as to the degrading conditions that existed and still exist for my Brothers and Sisters. They look at me like I am some deranged person, and I can almost hear them think "But she's got a good job and making good money, what is her problem?"
I'll tell you what my problem is. I have had enough of crap and I ain't taking it anymore. When you come to me, Mr., Mrs., or Ms. White Person, you'd better come correct, or I will have your head. I did not put my life on the line in your military, protecting you from having to learn Russian, so that you could treat me anyway you want. Forget it, those days are over, and I don't care how you feel about it.
Maybe you should have let Martin live, he was real nice to y'all. He told us to be non-violent, and we were. Our parents took you spitting in their faces, sicking your police dogs on them, lynching them, and you killing their children and never raised a hand to you. Don't try it now, though, you'll get a real big surprise.
My generation and our children care nothing for killing each other, which came from you telling them and all that look like them, that they were and are worthless. These children are armed to the teeth, and they ain't playing, so I wouldn't mess with them, if I were you.
My advice is for White people to get a grip on themselves, and start to act like human beings. This country has the worst record of human rights, and they have the nerve to go to other countries and tell them how to run their business. Get a grip people, clean up your own mess and leave the rest of the world to clean up theirs. The sunday after the riots in LA, the Washington Post published comments from the International community. They delighted in saying what I just said. It was ridiculous, and the jurors in Simi Valley should have been ashamed of themselves.
Oh yes, change is a-coming, and I hope that we are ready for it. Brothers and Sisters, take a real hard look at your conditions, and correct yourself. Never, never, never take the side of someone against your correct Brother or Sister. Stand with, next to, in front of, behind, and on the side of your Brother or Sister, you may need them one day. Read all you can. Teach your children right from wrong and to stick up for us, and that we will stick up for them. Our children are in danger, and if we aren't careful, we may see them die before our eyes.
Support Black organizations, and let go of Negro elitist organizations, for they are out for themselves and no one else. I would like to call for a boycott of the NAACP, but Bro. Mfume might call me up and give me the blues. (smile)
Before you think that I have lost my mind, or PMSing (neither of which is true), understand that I am one Black Woman who has had enough and I am not going to sit back watch this mess and not tell you what I see. The time is too crucial, and we must wake up and see it for the trash that it is.
My sister has a saying "Take a load of doodie, put it in a box, wrap it in pretty paper and put a bow on it, and what do you have? You have a load of doodie in a pretty package, that's all". While it's funny, and it is you can't deny it, it is a good saying and pretty much sums this mess up.
Stay true to the game!
