“You wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from concrete had damaged petals. On the contrary we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun. Well, we are the roses, this is the concrete, and these are my damaged petals”. -Tupac Shakur
Coup de Grace: A deathblow or shot administered to end the suffering of one mortally wounded. A decisive finishing blow or event.
The nerve of some of these want to be intellectual -vegetarian lollipop, flip flop, dreadlock neo-Negroes who speak as if they have “arrived”. Talking loud and not saying anything. These chumps too deep for themselves walk the earth to and fro’ as if they levitate. Adorned in African cultural garb, which usually consists of kente cloth, a head wrap, Che Guevara, Huey P., or Angela Davis T-shirt with a natural to match. The more daring want to be Revolutionary But Gangsta thug Negro steps on the scene equipped with an RBG wrist band and fatigues quoting the homies dead prez or Pac, while trying to convince the people that he’s ready to bust the guns he don’t have- when in reality he knows fuckin’ well he won’t bust a grape. P*ssy Poets posing as Revolutionaries. Agent provocateurs, pig- loving snitches, mega-millionaire pork chop preachers and other community leaches. Bill Cosby pulling concerned Negro stunts, to promote a Fat Albert movie. Wire wearing, permed head politicians misleading the people, while a pink shirt-wearing hip hop minstrel named Puff and his homosexual sidekick telling you to “Vote or Die”.
You voted, still going to die- Sean John and Phat Farm made millions off the T-Shirts (Vote or Die) and after the election Puff goes on tour with Laura Bush. Now you are crying because Bush is still in office, to hell with Bush and Kerry. We don’t care who our slave master is we want to be free. Burn the plantation. Colin Powell “retires”-Condoleza still whoring for George Bush and Flava Flav falls in love with a white trick. Ain’t that a *****! Am I angry? You Got damn right I’m angry.
African people in America are being annihilated and left totally devastated while you have a bunch of black buffoons and lackeys operating as if it is a three-ring circus going on. We are in the middle of war, have been for quite sometime and not too many people seem to realize it. It seems as if some of our folks are lost in their own minds or should I say in the mind of the ruling class- our greedy ungrateful wicked bastard stepchildren. We Africans- the have nots, who are victims of capitalism and the white power structure work so hard and gain so little. While the colonizers –the haves do little work but control nearly all of the resources. Why am I angry? I am angry because the blood of our people has spilled all over the planet earth, and we have done nothing. I am angry because they assassinated Malcolm, Fred and Huey and we have done nothing. I am angry because they have Mumia on death row, they framed Aaron Patterson again, and they have H. Rap Brown (Imam Jamil) on 23-hour lock down along with countless other comrades who have been kidnapped and held captive behind enemy lines. Still a lot of you are doing nothing! I am angry because they will kill you and me –If you continue to do nothing.
Kwame Ture stated, “ By you sitting back doing nothing- your very act of inaction means you are against your people”. If you are not working towards the total liberation of our people I say you should be charged with conspiracy against your nation or Ancestral treason.
When it comes to the cold stark reality of the level of vicious terrorist assaults that have been launched on African and Colonized natives some of you have made the choice to perform blind or turn on the deaf ear. Some of you in an effort to justify your cowardice ways have even gone as far as blaming the victim and attempting to side with the terrorist. Who is the victim? The victim is the hungry, the have nots, the colonized. Who is the terrorist? The terrorist is the imperialist; capitalist, global white racist power structure along with its armed forces and police entities. The victims live a life of terror courtesy of the tormenter. Inside of the neighborhoods the terrorist works its magic with chemical and biological warfare. AIDS, crack and dope being pushed into the communities by the CIA and other military personnel. They promote population control through experimental chemicals such as norplants, pills, patches and abortions. Poisonous food pushed through ghetto Chinese Restaurants. Pale Arabs will sell you pork when they don’t consume it. These community exploiters will offer you chicken with salmonella and high cholesterol, fried in month old grease.
The terrorist continues his reign of terror by distributing defective guns to the poor youth in the hood, so that when they are frustrated by their living conditions they can kill each other. Of course, if that doesn’t work the police terrorist can come taser a child, beat someone to death or just gun him or her down. Business as usual, right? Hell no! We have to raise the bar. Someone has to be held accountable. We have to not only hold the oppressor and his oppressive regime accountable but also any black collaborator who supports the oppressor. Notice should be served to any organization that says they are for African and Colonized people, but do not address the needs of the black community. We have to let them know, “either shit or get off the pot”. It’s a new day on the plantation. There is a new force, a new energy that will not go along with the okey-doke. Everywhere we go the youth are fed up, the poor is fed up. There is a rise in militancy. No more turn the other cheek. Teach the children the truth, nation build. In the immortal words of Field Marshal George Jackson “I will never be counted amongst the broken men”. Which side are you on?
