Heritage Of Hatred

If you read the meme above that just about says everything......

"As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."
—William T. Thompson (April 23, 1863)


That is what the flag's  designer said....And face it...The Ku Klux Klan and White Supremacist groups have made this flag their flag and have been shown in photos with this flag for years....

This flag is just as ugly as the Nazi flag is to the Jewish people and White Supremacist groups have used that flag too...

Both flags symbolize the ugliest and darkest hours of the human soul and shouldn't even be in a museum if you ask me...but that's just my opinion...

They would never fly the Nazi flag anywhere a large group of Jewish people reside and to fly that flag in a state or anywhere with a huge population of African-Americans is an affront....

Taking that flag down from state houses though is just symbolic...It doesn't destroy the racist cancer that is inherent in the hearts of many Americans... Far too many...Some who are arrogantly proud of their racism and wear it like a badge of courage...

I'd rather we remove that racist cancer in their hearts than take down some old piece of cloth...It's just easier to take down the piece of cloth.

Weekend Humor

Two guys driving and there car breaks So they got to a fruit farmer and say "Fruit farmer do you have a place for us to stay tonight"

The fruit farmer replies "Sure you can stay upstairs with my daughter just no sleeping with her"

Unfortunately his daughter was a knock out so the two guys screwed the hell out of her The next day the fruit farmer says "Since you  boys disobeyed me I want each of you to go out in my fields and pick a hundred pieces of your favorite fruit."  

Relieved, the two guys said "I thought he would be pissed." 

So the two guys set out to pick there fruit.

 The first guy comes back with a hundred cherries. To his surprise he finds himself staring at a double-barrelled shotgun And the fruit farmer says "Now shove them all up you ass" 

Well the guy gets to 25 and he starts giggling, He gets to 50 and he starts laughing, Finally gets to a hundred and he is laughing so hard pees a small stream down the inside of his trousers .

Not amused the fruit farmer yells "What the hell so goddamn funny?" 

The guy replies "I'm just laughing at my buddy because he is picking watermelons"

Thank You Crystal Wright for yet another great joke!

Everybody have a super groovy weekend!

The Conversation We Must Have


First off ,let me offer this disclaimer...I did not write the narrative I'm about to share with you...A friend of a friend on Facebook posted this...But I could have written this..This says everything that needs to be said about the state of race in this country today...

Until everyone begins to look beyond individual acts of malice for their definiton of racism, and personal assuaging of conscience because "that's not me," there's not a lot to discuss or hope for progress.

 So non-black, non-prejudiced friends, it's about more than being horrified at the onslaught of brutality against black people. It's about more than recognizing that this is "horrible." It's about more than realizing that this is wrong and being saddened for a few days while returning to your life as usual while black people have to process trauma, grief, and tragedy.

Black people have to figure out how to move past our emotions and figure out what to do individually and collectively.

We have to figure out how to teach our children to live freely while recognizing the danger, yes danger, we and they face on a daily basis. We have to figure out how to live without the injustice consuming us, and how to survive without being cowards.

All of that is something you don't face, ever. And that, my friends, is just a simple example of white privilege.

 So if you care, if you really care, you'll begin to learn what institutional racism is. You will learn what white supremacy and white privilege are and will acknowledge that they are ingrained in every facet of American life including politics, the media, education, social welfare, the law, housing, religion, and finance.

Everything. You won't tell black people how we should feel or what we should do. You won't tell us how to protest because the ugly truth is that no matter if we protest peacefully or aggressively, if we advocate for peaceful resistance or encourage bearing arms, we're at the same risk of death. Both Malcom X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated, feel me?

You will acknolwdge that race is the gaping wound this country tries to cover with a dollar store band-aid when, in fact, reconstructive surgery is needed.

You will listen with open hearts and minds. You will find and read the works of anti racist advocates and essayists.

If you really care you will have the courage to risk troubling the waters of your social circles and will perhaps disrupt your social status quo to challenge your friends, teach them, and use social media and other means to speak out and take other action to impact change.

If you're unwilling to do that then I ask that you spare me the expressions of sympathy, remorse, and attempted understanding. I don't WANT to discuss any of this (Charleston, police brutality, or anything connected to race) with you if you're not willing to take those risks.

That may be uncomfortable, scary and require courage. Well, to that all I can say is "welcome to the struggle."

No...I didn't write the above...but I could have...Every thinking Black Man ,Woman and Child could have written these very words!

Welcome to our world...Our collective African-American Reality....White people can no longer afford the luxury of their silence while these atrocities such as last week's massacre in Charleston keep occurring.

You say these are just isolated events....Well, there seems to be an isolated event every week.

Weekend Humor

Sean Connery was interviewed by Donahue, and bragged that despite his 72 years of age, he could still have sex three times a night.

Kylie Minogue, who was also a guest, looked intrigued. After the show, Kylie said, "Sean, if I am not being too forward, I’d love to have sex with an older man. Let’s go back to my place."

  So they go back to her place and have great sex.

Afterwards, Sean says, "If you think that was good, let me sleep for half an hour, and we can have even better sex. But while I’m sleeping, hold my balls in your left hand and my dick in your right hand."  

Kylie looks a bit perplexed, but says, "Okay". 

He sleeps for half an hour, awakens, and they have even better sex. Then Sean says, "Kylie, that was wonderful. But if you let me sleep for an hour, we can have the best sex yet. But again, hold my balls in your left hand, and my dick in your right hand."  

Kylie is now used to the routine and complies. The results are mind blowing. Once it’s all over, and the cigarettes are lit, Kylie asks "Sean, tell me, does my holding your balls in my left hand and your dick in my right stimulate you while you’re sleeping?" 

 Sean replies, "No, but the last time I slept with a slut from Melbourne, she stole my wallet."

Thank you Crystal Wright...for that joke...Everybody have a super groovy weekend!

9 Dead In South Carolina

 I had to wait until I was in a mood to write about this latest atrocity...Seems like this is becoming a weekly thing...A hate crime...Black people dead or being abused....White media white washing(pun intended) the entire deal and spinning the story in which the black victim is somehow responsible for being murdered or abused...

I shudder having to explain to my Black Grandchildren that they aren't safe anywhere in Amerika because of the color of their skin...They're not safe on the block, in a car, in school ,at a pool party and now...NOT EVEN IN CHURCH!..

As you know...An ignorant and deranged 21 year old White male went inside a Black church in Charleston ,South Carolina and gunned down nine people...Nine people who were in the house of God...praying..Was he afraid for his life too?

The facts-
A white man suspected of shooting nine people dead during Bible study at a historic African-American church in South Carolina was arrested on Thursday, a day after a massacre that authorities say was motivated by racial hatred.

The mass shooting set off an intense 14-hour manhunt that ended when 21-year-old Dylann Roof was arrested in a traffic stop in a small North Carolina town, 220 miles (350 km) north of Charleston, South Carolina, where the shooting occurred, officials said.

Dylann Roof, whose social media profile suggests a fascination with white supremacy, waived his right to extradition and was flown back to South Carolina hours after his arrest.

Wednesday's gun violence at the nearly 200-year-old Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church caps a year of turmoil and protests over race relations, law enforcement and criminal justice in the United States.

Four pastors, including Democratic state Senator Clementa Pinckney, 41, were among the six women and three men shot dead at the church nicknamed "Mother Emanuel," which was burned to the ground in the late 1820s after a slave revolt led by one of its founders and was later rebuilt.

"The fact that this took place in a black church obviously raises questions about a dark part of our history," said U.S. President Barack Obama. "Once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun."

The United States has seen a series of mass shootings in recent years, including the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults. Democratic efforts to reform the nation's gun laws failed after that incident.

A man who identified himself as Carson Cowles,Dylann  Roof's uncle, told Reuters that Dylann's  father had recently given him a .45-caliber handgun as a birthday present and that Roof had seemed adrift.
"I don't have any words for it," Cowles, 56, said in a telephone interview. "Nobody in my family had seen anything like this coming."

Dylann Roof was armed with a handgun when confronted by police but surrendered peacefully as he was taken into custody, said Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen.

In a Facebook profile apparently belonging to Roof, a portrait showed him wearing a jacket emblazoned with the flags of apartheid-era South Africa and of the former Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, both formerly ruled by white minorities. Ironically Many of his Facebook friends were black.


Roof was arrested on two separate occasions at a shopping mall earlier this year for a drug offense and trespassing, according to court documents.

Roof's mother, Amy, declined to comment when reached by phone.

" We will be doing no interviews, ever," she said before hanging up.

Police said the church shooting unfolded about an hour after Roof joined a small Bible-study group in the church, welcomed apparently as the only white participant, and suddenly opened fire on the victims as they sat together.

Sylvia Johnson, a cousin of Pinckney, told MSNBC that a survivor told her the gunman reloaded five times during the attack despite pleas for him to stop.

"He just said, 'I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country," Johnson said.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said her office was investigating whether to charge Dylann Roof with a hate crime motivated by racial or other prejudice.

Under federal and some state laws, such crimes typically carry harsher penalties. But South Carolina, which has the death penalty, is one of just five U.S. states lacking hate crime laws.


Demonstrations have rocked New York, Baltimore, Ferguson in Missouri and other U.S. cities following police killings of unarmed black men including Eric Garner, Freddie Gray and Michael Brown.

A white police officer was charged with murder after he shot Walter Scott, an unarmed black man, in the back in April in neighboring North Charleston.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which researches U.S. hate groups, said the attack illustrates the dangers that home-grown extremists pose.

 "Since 9/11, our country has been fixated on the threat of Jihadi terrorism. But the horrific tragedy at the Emanuel AME reminds us that the threat of homegrown domestic terrorism is very real," the group said in a statement, referring to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

There have been 4,120 reported hate crimes across the United States, including 56 murders, since 2003, the center said.

Other victims included three church pastors: DePayne Middleton Doctor, 49, Sharonda Coleman Singleton, 45 and Reverend Daniel Simmons, 74; Cynthia Hurd, a 54-year-old employee of the Charleston County Public Library, and Susie Jackson, 87; Ethel Lance, 70, Tywanza Sanders, 26, and Myra Thompson 59, an associate pastor at the church, according to the county coroner

A series of police killings of unarmed black men has sparked a renewed civil rights movement under the "Black Lives Matter" banner.

Black Lives Matter....but I swear sometimes I think Black Lives only Matter to Black people...

My life certainly matters to me...And I will defend that life to the death...Think I'm playin..Come for me...You'll be afraid for your life alright...

I'm sick of this crap...Every damn week another case...It's almost like it's open season on Black people...

The problem is..When will good and decent white people be fed up with this crap?  I know there are good and decent white people in this nation and I know they have to see through this cloud of bullshit that is being propogated by the media..They have to see this...They can no longer be silent..They no longer have the luxury of their silence!

First they came for the Negroes and you did nothing because you weren't black...Then they came for the Latinos and you did nothing because you weren't Latino...and then they came for the Gays and you again did nothing because you weren't gay...Well one morning they'll come for you and then....
it'll be too late for you to do something!

Think about it! Please!
