ELOQUENT FURY 

REVOLUTIONARY AFRICAN TRUTH   

EXPRESSLY FOR RADICAL INTELLECTUALS WHO SEEK KNOWLEDGE
(*******WARNING: HAZARDOUS TO NEOCON DELUSION*******)  

INDECENT PROPOSITION 1997

In just a few days, California's voters will decide the fate of Proposition 209. Legislation penned to make racial discrimination appear to be racial equality. Political propaganda that slanders racial inclusion as racial preference. Angry white men and those who love them will vote YES on 209. Those of us who are socially realistic and politically intelligent enough to question racist slogans and moronic sound bytes will defiantly vote NO.

In spite of their arrogant and amusing anger, white men still rule the world. They control and dominate every capitalist arena on the globe. And, they seek to keep things that way. Destroying affirmative action is mandatory for maintaining affirmative discrimination.

I am amused by Africans who dare to claim they are conservative. What do they dare "conserve"?! The status quo has always been maintained at the expense of Africans and everyone else who is not white, rich , male and heterosexual. That is the ongoing reality of this racist and elitist world in which all of us live, and too few of us vote.

White men are angry because ruling the world is not as easy as it used to be. There are too many different people who dare to challenge their authority. Women, gays, blacks, Latinos, etc. are all a LOT ANGRIER. Thus, they must intensify their oppression to quell our collective rebellion. Proposition 209 is one of many such emergency efforts which reflect their desperation and fear.

History has proven that white men do right only when violently/legally forced to do so. From the plantation to the boardroom, master must be mandated to behave (even somewhat) fairly. White women have benefited most from affirmative action. Yet, many white female voters will vote YES on 209. Because, just as blood is thicker than water, white supremacy is thicker than gender.

Just as poor people will starve due to the welfare bill, African employees and students will perish due to 209. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream never came true. Neoconservatives are ensuring that it never will. Racism has always ruled our world. Now that reign will be more regal and unchecked.

The neocons tell us "Pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps". Then, they leave us barefoot. Just when we begin to fashion our own boots, they redesign all footwear. The New World Order is in progress. And the Revolution is in the streets. We must walk on...
