Aren’t You Over These Duke and Duchess of Sussex Stories by Now?

Placed another way, I don’t plan to watch the new Netflix Series. The way I see it, May 19, 2018 marks the day Meghan Markle married into one of the world’s oldest crime families. This is a family who is carrying centuries of gun running, human trafficking, colonialism, mass property theft, murder, and instigation of […]

The Jerry Jones Miracle, or Why Police and Sesame Place Reforms Will Always Fail

Arguably more mysterious than the stories of Magical Negroes … This piece about institutional racism’s unspoken truth came to mind during my most recent digital sabbatical. Lemme change that: this truth has been on my mind since the day a young White supremacist shot and killed nine Black churchgoers in South Carolina, but the piece […]

1493 is the White supremacist parent of 1776 and 1619

Spain’s Doctrine of Discovery opened America and the rest of the so-called ‘New World’ to centuries of slavery and colonization. The racist backlash to the 1619 Project — also known as the 1776 Project — is yet another inelegant White supremacist trick, disguised as a call to national unity at the expense of legitimate explorations […]

Them on Amazon is a very violent series, but you should stream it

The show uses the horror genre to cover an awful and unspoken truth about White supremacy. I remember former Last Poets member Felipe Luciano telling an audience that art is useless if it doesn’t slap the shit out of you, or make you wanna slap the shit out of someone else. My guess is that […]

Blame White supremacy

Instead, we all blame each other for our problems … People seem to forget a few points in all the online clamor about the rise in violence against Asians. White-on-Asian violence is White supremacy. Black-on-Asian violence is White supremacy. The whole “model citizen” label given to Asians is White supremacy. Asian-on-Black violence is White supremacy. […]

You can’t ‘heal’ White supremacy — a bloody lesson from America’s Civil War

Republicans talk about “healing” more than “justice” today. Sounds familiar … Remember when President Abraham Lincoln wanted the country to “heal” after the Civil War ended in 1865? You know, back when the current Republicans’ ancestors were Democrats who owned slaves, were whole White supremacists, became separatists by creating their own country in America called […]

White supremacy matters: the Trump coup and case for overdue justice

You can’t ‘heal’ White supremacy. Exactly a week after this fake Christian death cult I keep writing about attempted to overthrow the US government by overrunning the US Capitol, many legislative members from the Party of No Brains — supposedly fearing the cult’s potential for hurling death threats — defended Coup Inciter in Chief President […]

Million MAGA March: funny and not funny

I said this long ago: MAGA is bigger than Trump … Today’s Million MAGA March — aside from the irony in how the title borrows from the vision of an African descendant Muslim leader that appears near the top of every MAGA member’s hate list — proves a point many of us have been making […]

2020 post-election meditations: ‘Heal’? From what?

‘Heal’ is a throwaway word … During last night’s speech as President-elect, Joe Biden talked about the importance of Americans seeing each other as Americans and healing: Heal? Heal what? 70 million people voted for White supremacy, even if they did so for the tax cuts. What does “heal” mean? Who’s harmed? Was African descendant […]

2020 post-election meditations: What comes after Biden and Harris could be the worst President of all

Thoughtful and equitable governing is needed now. Or else … I’ve shared offline conversations for a few weeks with my friends about the effects of Trump and MAGA-ism: the President — through more than a decade of practice — has tapped into the kind of toxic energy that mainstream American politics hasn’t seen since the […]
