FRIDAY
hey everybody
im on the road and incog until late next week
was reading about bushs presentation at
the national urban league
he said the democrats were taking blackfolk
for granted and that
'theres an alternative this year. look at my record"
precisely
i assume im speaking to the choir and dont need
to get explicit about his record
what tickled me though is that the bush campaign
arranged this presentation after they dissed the naacp
as hostile
you know we have lost our way when the naacp
is considered too radical
see you next week
be well be safe
arf
TUESDAY
song of the hakama
"The blood of the blacks runs like water, we take their goods and we chase them from our area and our cattle will be in their land. The power of al-Bashir belongs to the Arabs and we will kill you until the end, you blacks, we have killed your God."
song sung by traditional arab female hakama singers to inspire
janjaweed warriors while raping blacks in sudan
sung to inspire the warriors to war madness, rape pillage and murder
rape is being systematically used as a tactical instrument
to humiliate black women and their men
and to ‘make light babys’ because in the sudan the lineage
runs thru the fathers line and light babys are considered arabs
this is an historical technique used by arab slavetraders in the sudan
to erase the black peoples there
one group of refugee woman recalls being taunted by hakama singers while being raped,
"You are gorillas, you are black, and you are badly dressed."
rope a dope sudan style
Human Rights Watch has published Sudanese government papers
that call for supplying the janjaweed with ‘arms and provisions’
and instruct security forces to support janjaweed leader musa hilal
1 document dated days after al-bashir told annan & powell he would end military operations
instructs officials to increase recruitment and support of janjaweed raiders
the 2nd, a month later, calls for more "provisions and ammunition."
the 3rd lays out plans for resettling black lands w/arabs after blacks have been cleansed from them
Human Rights also supplied evidence of the sudan
transforming janjaweed into the socalled security forces
being set up to ‘protect’ darfur
and ridicules the UN threat to sanction janjaweed leaders instead of sudanese leaders
let me get this straight
the un proposes to sanction the international travel and banking accounts of nomad raiders
is this what you call sanctions, lets get serious up in here
cripple them like you did iraq
nader republicans and the trojan horse
the michigan republican party
gathered 40,000 signatures to insure ralphs inclusion
on the michigan ballot in november
get the picture?
too bad, ralph doesnt
neocon running dog
imperialist lackey
at least kerry does
hes setting up a nationwide legal umbrella to monitor and respond
to republican dirty tricks like the ones they pulled in florida 2000
good, its about time progressive forces learned how to fight back
the neocons been cleaning our clocks for 3 decades now
we got to get serious about the game
quit tiptoeing through the tulips
we have almost lost our country
apologies accepted
SUNDAY
im still unhappy w/whoopi about that ted dansen roast
‘don’t nigger lip it whoopi’ and all that
specially since she never apologized to us for that
but I have to say im impressed w/her response
to the slimfast folk
ima comedian she told them, I aint safe and sanitized
you cant tell me what I can do
okay, i might slide her some slack
but I still think she owes us an apology
as I still think minister farrakhan owes us
a more sincere apology for malcolm
we all make mistakes and i believe
in redemption
i remember when richard apologized for using nigger
i guess it’s a generational thing cause richard still
my boy
he knew how to keep it real
he knew how to show us
he cared
war profiteers
la times article recently about war profiteering
by the very policymakers who pushed hardest for
the american invasion of iraq
i don’t link subscription papers
but it was a passionate cry for justice
in the name of all those kids over there dying for halliburton
neocon imperialist fantasies
and profits
its a sin and a shame
an unnecessary blood sacrifice
of our young
big brothers co dependents
I fear an attack before the election
will drive folk right back in the arms
of george bush
al queda would love that
hes the biggest recruiting tool they have
they are codependents
al qaeda and the bush administration
they keep each other in business
bush uses al qaeda to sell his radical fundamentalist agenda
al qaeda uses bush to sell their radical fundamentalist agenda
for instance the administration recently ran the idea
of canceling the election if there is an attack
up the flagpole to see who would salute it
do you have any idea of just how deep that is
jay leno cracked funny:
“I love that the Department of Homeland Security always tells Americans if you don't fly commercial airlines, 'the terrorists have won.' If you don't hold the Super Bowl or the World Series, 'the terrorists have won.' If you don't get out to the mall and do your Christmas shopping, 'the terrorists have won.' Comes time for the election, 'Oh, let the terrorists have that one."'

an excerpt from maya about her first time
at john o Killens house for a writing workshop
john o Killens doesn’t get anywhere near the respect he deserves
he gave so much
he was a literary visionary and a longdistance runner
john oliver killens

my mentor
hot off the presses:
readers of literature going down
writers of literature going up
like the odds weren’t bad enough
