What You Gonna Do When They Come for You?

When Washington, Jefferson and other White men talked about liberty and independence, freedom and justice, know for a fact that they were not including Black or Brown people. They were not even talking about their own women, because White women were also considered the property of White men at that time. Yet, we should not forget that those same White women slept with those rapists, murdering, thieving white men every night.

To me, My People that shows that their mentality is the same as the mentality of the White women who now with the shame of cencall themselves “Mothers of liberty” and vow that no one will teach the truth of American history.

It is up to us, My People, who want to know the real history of America, to decide that we all have the inalienable rights that will allow us to have the equity in all of our lives, that we all deserve because we all bring the raw material of human potential to the table, and not be denied because of the color of our skin.

I believe that these Mothers of Liberty and Daughters of America need to be rejected, the same way the Ku Klux Klan must be rejected, if we are to build a just and moral society. A society where we all as human beings can make up for our wrongs and restore ourselves to the human family by doing whatever is necessary to make amends for past behaviors, so that everyone of us feels whole again. I believe we can all feel whole again when we have dismantled the stranglehold of racism and the ignorance it engenders, when we eliminate discrimination and eradicate wealth inequality and political corruption. When we fly all of our flags in the United Nations of the human family, that wholeness is how each of us would feel when there is no racism and discrimination, no wealth inequality, no educational misinformation or political corruption to keep us all in the mental chains of enslavement.

If you want to be a part of the reclamation of Our Collective Power, then Paying Attention is the one price that you must be willing to pay. The assault on Black people in its many forms have not ceased since the United States government was forced to enact the Emancipation Proclamation. But, remember, they followed that with the 13th Amendment to The United States Constitution. My People, please pay attention and know they have been creating ways to keep us enslaved in one way or another since that time. Now, they are stepping up their assaults on our bodies, on our minds and on all of the laws that are supposed to protect all of us.

Voting rights are under attack and legislation on what can and cannot be taught in our schools is under attack right now in states across the country. They are organizing and promoting their vision of a white controlled America all over the Country.

My People, unless there is a concerted effort by all of us, to stay woke, and be critical of all that is wrong with this country, the racist, fear mongering hoards that we see in the White House and Senate will accomplish what they attempted to do with the January 6th attempted insurrection. They will steal this country from the people and install a puppet king that they think will do their bidding.

If we, The People, do not wake up and begin to act on what we know, by electing the right people to public office and fighting to create the legislation that pushes back against any form of discriminatory practices, these racist hate mongers will create the fascist regime that eradicates the need for Universal Justice, Truth and Reconciliation and the Moral Imperatives that protect us all from any form of discrimination, injustice or harm to any of us based on the color of our skin, our zip code or how much money we make.

Power to The People! Your Brother,
