“And O my people they do not love your hands.” #TrayvonMartin

“In this here place, we flesh; flesh that weeps, laughs; flesh that dances on bare feet in grass. Love it. Love it hard. Yonder they do not love your flesh. They despise it. They don’t love your eyes; they’d just as soon pick em out. No more do they love the skin on your back. Yonder they flay it. And O my people they do not love your hands. Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them. Touch others with them, pat them together, stroke them on your face ‘cause they don’t love that either. You got to love it, you! And no, they ain’t in love with your mouth. Yonder, out there, they will see it broken and break it again. What you say out of it they will not heed. What you scream from it they do not hear. What you put into it to nourish your body they will snatch away and give you leavins instead. No, they don’t love your mouth. You got to love it. This is flesh I’m talking about here. Flesh that needs to be loved. Feet that need to rest and to dance; backs that need support; shoulders that need arms, strong arms I’m telling you. And O my people, out yonder, hear me, they do not love your neck unnoosed and straight. So love your neck; put a hand on it, grace it, stroke it and hold it up. and all your inside parts that they’d just as soon slop for hogs, you got to love them. The dark, dark liver—love it, love it and the beat and beating heart, love that too. More than eyes or feet. More than lungs that have yet to draw free air. More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart. For this is the prize.”

I MAY JUST MOVE TO CANADA…

Well, since the extremely wealthy, racists and bigots always get what they want I may need to vacate the US. The good old white boys club runs Washington. If President Obama doesn’t get re-elected I’m moving to Canada. I’m out of here. No place for single Black Moms like me anymore – wealthy conservatives have destroyed the middle class. I guess too many of us colored folks have made it out of poverty and the ghetto.  So they want to stop the flow.  Americans have been brainwashed by the right wing Republican extremists.  I’m tired of their shit.

I’ve already told my son that when he graduates from High School and goes off to college that I’m leaving America if things don’t get better.  We are becoming a third world country and even the poorest are helping the wealthy make matters worse by not voting OR voting for Republicans.  We’ve got an African-American President and the right wing nut jobs have lost their minds.  Republican scum only hear the wealthy and no one else. 

 Republicans keep cutting funding for education. WHY? Because they know that education provides a way out of poverty for a lot of minorities who grow up and become professionals. Minorities who have taken advantage of the public education system in the US go on to college and don’t usually vote for Republicans. 

These corporate, confederate flag carrying, KKK, tea party conservatives have figured out a way to stop the flow of minorities out of poverty, keep them out of an upper middle class life and out of the American Dream.  The greedy, racists are so determined to stop the flow that they’ve even begun to eat their own.  They’ve figured out how to sow the divide and further stop the flow of minorities out of poverty by making them an enemy to poor whites.  Poor whites too ignorant to realize they are being played with.

In the 1980s Ronald Reagan perpetuated the myth of the Welfare Queen.  The Blacks swelling the welfare rolls are the problem for our economic problems. Fast forward to 2010, now illegal immigrants are the problem, they’re taking our jobs and swelling the welfare rolls.  Same shit different day. 

Republicans have managed to fool their base into believing that Obama is bringing Socialism, Fascism, Nazism, Sharia Law and death panels.  The tea party has bought the whole bill of goods, most of the Democratic base has bailed on Obama and none of these people realize that they’ve stumbled head first into the trap Republicans have set. 

They will probably succeed in 2012 and beyond.  Republicans won’t do one thing but waste time with bogus hearings. There won’t be any new job creation and everyone will blame President Obama and Democrats – check mate.  These fools will get what they want, we’ll have Sarah Palin or some other Republican idiot for President and America will become a full-fledge third world country. 

GOOD LUCK BITCHES! CANADA HERE I COME!
