Showing the Truth.



A lot of people don't know about the revolutionary history of Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott King. Coretta Scott King was at the Progressive Party Convention in 1948 to support Henry Wallace (who wanted racial equality and economic justice back in the 1940's). Coretta admitted in a letter in 1952 that Dr. King sympathized with the views of socialism. Also, Coretta Scott King opposed the Vietnam War in public before Dr. King did so. She was part of the Women's International Strike for Peace in 1962. She came to Geneva, Switzerland to protest the Vietnam War. That is why the FBI monitored her just like Dr. King. Dr. King's historic Riverside Church speech in 1967 condemned the neo-colonial war in Vietnam. His speech articulated the accurate point that it is hypocritical for the American government to tell folks to be nonviolent in America while being violent in Vietnam with naplam, with free fire zones, and with other war crimes via Operation Phoenix. The speech is also known as "Beyond Vietnam." After Dr. King made that speech, the whole liberal establishment from Time to the New York Times turned on him and criticized him for his anti-war views. Even moderate, bourgeoisie civil rights leaders turned on him because of his views on Vietnam. Whitney Young publicly opposed Dr. King's foreign policy views until after he was died. Yet, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was courageous and stood his ground to speak truth to power on exposing imperial aggression overseas. He passed away during a working class strike done by black Memphis sanitation workers. The couple of Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspires us to this very day.

The Senate jurors are sworn in as Trump braces for trial. Trump is the third President to have been impeached. Others are Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Parnas said that he lied about Ukraine. Parnas said that Trump, Pence, and other people had involvement in the scheme to try to find dirt on the Bidens. Parnas mentioned that Trump knows who he is, while Trump denies it. We have pictures of Parnas and Trump together. Congress impeached Trump for abuse of power and contempt of Congress. Arguments will open on Tuesday after the federal Dr. King holiday. House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving and Clerk of the House Cheryl Johnson delivered the articles of impeachment against Trump to the Secretary of State Julie Adams on Capitol Hill in Washington (on January 15, 2020). The Senate trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts. Trump is representative of one of the two factions of the political elites. One political elite faction wants confrontation with Russia and a rule of Eurasia resources to gain more power over China. The second faction wants to battle China while using Russia as a tool to do so. Trump represents the later faction.

I remember her on I love the 90's and I love the 80s back when I was in my early 20s. Loni Love decided on being part of her side. Many celebrities want to be exploited by the powers that be to scapegoat black people (or be politically correct under the guise of "colorblindness"), but they claim that "they don't see color." They ignore the vicious injustices against black people, but they falsely make the lie that black men disproportionately cheat based upon slavery (which is the same talking points that white racists use all of the time). Cheating exists because of many reasons not because of slavery. That thinking is offensive to the victims of slavery. Many people believe in the lie that black men or black women are socially inferior (you know that they can't say that overtly in public), but many of these even black celebrities unfortunately believe it.

That is why they say and do what they do. We know how the propaganda against black men and black women are ever constant. We should focus on the real issue about how systematic oppression harms both black men and black women (and find ways of healing). I don't respect a traitor. Loni Love is wrong in her statements because of many reasons. One is that black people cheating is not representative of every black man on Earth. Most people cheating on planet Earth aren't black men. During slavery, slaveowners cheated all of the time. During wars like in World War II, cheating was commonplace. So, cheating is not based upon race, but on bad choices made by people. We should oppose lies and anti-black slander. More black folks are speaking up on the reality of what is happening.

Yesterday was the Birthday of the late Sister Aaliyah. Her music was very inspirational. She knew of kindness, and she was very kind to her fans. She loved honesty. Always on the move, she traveled the world to give concerts, to express her views, and to be free in self-expression. She was born in Brooklyn, NYC, and she was raised in Detroit. She worked with Timbaland and Missy Elliot (and both of them are from the 757 where I'm from). She had a gift, and that was shown in songs like Resolution, Try Again, and other songs. Her actress career was starting to blossom with films like Romeo Must Die. Aaliyah worked with hip hop artists, because she loved hip hop too. Her intelligence, her charisma, and her power make her an icon of music. I was 17 when it was the time of her transition. Shocking was a description of the time. Today, she is in Paradise with the Creator. For us on this Earth, it is our responsibility to learn lessons and be an outstanding representation of wisdom, truth, and humbleness. Aaliyah shined her light while she was on the Earth for 22 years.

Rest in Power Sister Aaliyah.
