(D)ude: Man! Hillary Rodham Clinton and
Chelsea Clinton are distorting the facts about Bernie Sanders and his progressive
stances on healthcare and gun control to the point where I’m convinced that the
Clinton Campaign is plagued with Bush-league organizers who are deliberately
derailing the presidential contender with bad advice.
(M)an: Dude! Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton are
widening lies about Bernie Sanders’ perspectives. Bernie Sanders is not going
to be transferring the matter of universal healthcare to the states and he is
not with the gun lobby either. Remember TOFU?
D: Man! Texas Occidental Franchise University out in middle
of Nowhere, Texas and Somewhere, Texas?
M: Dude! Yeah! Remember the rural location of the public university
and the local Wal-Mart that was equipped to sell guns and rifles? Well, the
argument that Hillary Rodham Clinton makes against Bernie Sanders is misleading.
Bernie Sanders actually differentiates between two entities in the gun control
debate that need to be differentiated, the two entities being gun shop owners
and gun manufacturers. Of course, in many instances the two may overlap, but
differentiating between them is critical to winning gun control legislation and
saving lives.
D: Man! Well, in that case, we need to hurry up in Texas
because, beginning on August 1, 2016, all state 4-year colleges and universities
will be subjected to a new law permitting folks with a concealed handgun
license to carry loaded, concealed weapons in college and university buildings.
And that same law will be enforced on upon all state 2-year and junior colleges
starting August 1, 2017.
M: Dude! Remember how terribly the African-American students
at TOFU were treated? Yes, they had their sideline sororities and fraternities,
but when they opened up a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) on the TOFU campus, it did not survive one semester!
There was interest and membership among the African-American student body, who
had endured a lot of racial animosity at TOFU: Remember the accounts of Halloween
parties hosted by the White-American sororities and fraternities where members
wore horrific black face and dressed up as crude, perverse Aunt Jemima and
Uncle Tom caricatures?
D: Man! The Klu Klutz Klan marched in front of the TOFU
campus regularly, the campus being the epicenter between Nowhere, Texas and Somewhere, Texas! And imagine the
police force that would patrol the area when the Klu Klutz Klan descended upon
the college town with their ghastly garb! I remain sympathetic to the police
officers, who were monitoring the alarming pageantry of mayhem so it did not spill
onto the community. I swear the last time I drove by TOFU, I saw a burning
cross in the thicket and have not returned since. Everybody asks me about the deer
and the coyotes on the country roads at night, but I’ve got to admit that the burning
cross was far more frightening.
M: Dude! The Koch Klutz Klan is just as frightening as the
Klu Klutz Klan, the two are intimately interwoven by, essentially, those
bookends of the 20th century, fascism and trickle down economics.
There’s an entire library of literature between them that has to be reevaluated
for the new millennium. But, sadly, today’s cultural movers and shakers are chained
to the financial sector of the United States of America brutally. I say brutally
because the Republican Party GOP and the Teabag Democrats have highjacked the
2016 election cycle from the hands of the American electorate to the
prescripted nonsense provided by the financial sector since 2010’s Citizens
United ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States. The derailment of regulations
in campaign financing, coupled with the 2008 bank bailout, the financial sector
hammered the nails into democracy’s coffin by buying the power players in 2010
of both the RNC and the DNC, and the American Press Corps. They are sellouts, all
the Republican presidential contenders and Democratic presidential contender Hillary
Rodham Clinton!
D: Man! The financial sector made bets with the investments
of the middle and working classes and low income folks like us who were
encouraged to spend, which led to the recession, and now the representatives
we’ve got in government since 2010 are all chained to the brutalities of that
very same financial sector that robbed US blind in their speculative practices with
our money?
M: Dude! U.S. Representative John Lewis and Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel are not sellouts to that financial sector! But both men are aware
of this phenomenon of cultural icons being bought by the financial sector, and
both men hurt for the American people. It’s obvious if you're willing to see
their pain and the entrenchment of so many of their colleagues inside the warp
of the financial sector.
D: Man! What are we to do?
M: Dude! Feel the Bern! And don’t just follow Bernie Sanders!
There are great intellectuals backing Bernie who deserve to be heard! Great
minds like Michael Render, aka Killer Mike, the hip-hop artist.
D: Man! Is the hip-hop artist’s cursing the final scream for
social justice?
M: Dude! More like the last cry for integrity that’s been
long overdue. I watched two Showtime channel documentaries—one about Nasir
Jones and the other about Marlon Brando—and was catapulted into the world
behind Nasir’s 1994 album release Nas: Time is Illmatic, and to the
Civil Rights March of 1963 attended by Brando, a lifetime champion for racial and
ethnic equality, and personal friend to Martin Luther King, Jr.
D: Man! What is “Illmatic”?
M: Dude! It is a tribute to a childhood friend named William
who encouraged and collaborated with Nasir in creating cassette tracks of their
childhood jam sessions. When Nasir became Nas, William took on the persona Ill.
Tragically William was shot as a teenager outside the public housing
development, the largest of its kind in the United States, that they had called
home since Nasir’s parents divorced very early on in his and his baby brother’s
life. An overwhelming majority of the boys and men from Queensbridge in Queens,
New York pictured in the album’s overlay—personal friends and acquaintances to
Nas and his younger brother—have either died due to gun violence, or have
served or are serving time in prison.
D: Man! How did Nasir manage to breakthrough into the
hip-hop industry?
M: Dude! He was not only encouraged, but given a deadline by
another hip-hop musician raised in Queensbridge. Roxanne Shante heard Nas and Ill
in the hallway during a visit with friends to the housing development and
insisted they prepare an opening number for an upcoming concert of hers. Nasir electrified
the audience the night of Shante’s concert and he continued to rise up in the
industry with his genius as a first rate writer whose words stood the test of
time, performance after performance.
D: Man! Absolute prodigy! He’s in his early forties, hence,
he was in the beginning of his teen years back when he began in the eighties!
M: Dude! His father did not abandon his brother or him,
being in the military and musically inclined as well himself, and leaving
behind a library for Nas and his kid brother in their new arrangement with
their primary breadwinner mother in Queensbridge.
D: Man! Did Nas or his brother share some of the literature
in their library in the documentary?
M: Dude! Yes, of course! Nasir’s parents encouraged them to
read a diverse and essential blend of literature that included Malcolm X’s autobiography
and Aesop’s fables alongside the King James Bible and James Baldwin’s
masterpieces.
D: Man! James Baldwin never wrote anything less than a revolutionary
masterpiece!
M: Dude! Yes, of course! Not only are none of James Baldwin’s
writings formulaic and predictable, but none of them is alike.
D: Man! However, there’s a likeness in all the folks who
sellout to the financial sector in the United States of America!
M: Dude! Once you sell your soul to the financial sector,
there is no going back into an enlightened mindset.
D: Man! There is no race or ethnicity exempt from poverty,
yet the financial sector has creatively financed the Black Lives Matter
movement in an attempt to turn the country upside down on race and ethnic relations
and blame the resulting animosities and unrest on the most transparent White
House since Jimmy Carter’s days as Commander in Chief.
M: Dude! Arrogance runs rampant within the financial sector
and the candidates that it endorses. Look at the Republican Party and the
Teabag Democrats who haven’t even been open to the public protests for a definite
set of candidates on the RNC side and adding more debates to the schedule on
the DNC side.
D: Man! Hillary Rodham Clinton’s arrogance shown when she
claimed the Sanders campaign had targeted her specifically in that political ad
where Sanders states his intent to hold Wall Street and the financial sector
responsible for contributing to a skewed system that favors the corporations getting
bigger over everyday families getting stronger. It’s a sad reality only
American voters can change by registering to vote and then showing up at the
polls in support of Bernie Sanders during the next two months of primaries,
which I think will conclude sometime around March 1, 2016. We’ve got to find
out when the primaries begin and end!
M: Dude! There’s no time to waste! Election Day, Tuesday,
November 8, 2016 is a heartbeat away from today if you consider the time it
takes to register and then cast a ballot. The financial sector is busy buying
official spokespeople who will be willing to misrepresent the truth with an
inflammatory remark or quip, as the American Press Corps does, all for a very
cheap price, considering the generations of Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Whites,
et al that will be disenfranchised as a result of the treachery from within
their own communities. Have you noticed the hype surrounding the Muslim endorsements
that the financial sector has carefully allocated to New Jersey’s governor
Chris Christie? Plus, listen to the way Senator Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina is endorsing Jeb Bush nowadays. Clearly, the financial sector’s buying
Senator Lindsey Graham only means that Senator John McCain of Arizona will follow
suit.
D: Man! The financial sector has bought the legislative branch
of government as well as the judicial branch. What can be done to reverse the
effects of this trend?
M: Dude! Vote for Bernie Sanders and the progressive agenda!
Going back to the Black Lives Matter movement, the American financial sector
generates poverty and then selects a few of the disenfranchised in a population
to become the leaders and/or members of such organizations. On the other hand,
MLKIII had financial skirmishes in court with his siblings over the estates of
MLK, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and the financial sector took the opportunity
to buy MLKIII. The Koch brothers and the Trump brothers have had similar
skirmishes in court, haven’t they? Hence, they’re sellouts in the financial
sector as well!
D: Man! What about the the Middle East and terrorism
generally? The 2016 Presidential Election is a heartbeat away, thus so is
trouble! The financial sector and it's hustlers—like Jeb Bush and Hillary
Rodham Clinton—are prepared to take our country into successive danger zones!
Look at the way they both contend that they will enforce a no-fly zone over
Syria! And the previous Bush and Clinton Administrations utilized bribery and
threats in foreign policy, the Bushes being neocons and William Jefferson
Clinton being blackmailed by the neocons.
M: Dude! Bribing and threatening world powers only results
in our beloved sons and daughters in uniform being killed recklessly, while the
children and descendants of the Bushes and Clintons and all the corrupt
political machines are insured against fighting wars actively for eternity and
the rest of the 98% of US are open to our children and descendants being
subjected to conscription somewhere down the road we’re on right now, if we
elect Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton that is.
D: Man! What about the havoc the corrupt politicians have in
mind for US during the 2016 Presidential Election season?
M: Dude! The Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims in both Iran and
Saudi Arabia must realize that their fights are being financed by the
neoconservatives and their financial institutions. Both the neocons and Wall Street
gain fortunes from the countries that the United States of America invades. The
simple question to be asked of Iran and Saudi Arabia is whether they’re aware
of the American Republican Party GOP and the financial institutions invading
any body without an oil infrastructure? Plus, do Iran and Saudi Arabia really
want to trust the Republican neoconservative operatives abroad like Marco
Rubio, the Floridian Senator who either did not know there were Shia Muslims in
Saudi Arabia, or was favoring the House of Saud when he stated his position
with the Sunni Muslims in Saudi Arabia?
D: Man! Ignorance is ballistic with the American Republican
Party GOP! American voters need to understand that their votes for Bernie
Sanders are critical to world stability and peace!
M: Dude! If Hillary Rodham Clinton can use Chelsea, her own
flesh and blood, the mother of her precious granddaughter, to relay untruths
about Bernie Sanders’ campaign, what make US trust Hillary Rodham Clinton with
the lives of our own sons and daughters, especially those in uniform?
D: Man! Our sons and daughters in uniform deserve to be
handed a GI Bill that allows them to thrive in the American workforce once
they’re done with their tours of duty. But the financial sector in American
politics is entrenched in oil and gas and jumpy billionaires. Seriously, if our
soldiers were to return home with limitless opportunities to recover and become
resilient, the United States of America would be dealing in the trillions of
dollars, and the next generations will be taught what comes after a trillion
not as a long shot, but for our national security and that of the world’s! The
financial sector is being monopolistic to the detriment of all world affairs,
the Kochs and Adelsons and the neocon donor class know that their business
models are weak and that competition from chief executives who had been in the
United States Military would challenge their positions of power, their strongholds!
M: Dude! The United States Military is selfless and
brilliant! Our sons and daughters in uniform are our pride and joy!
