Rock Was More than Right He Was Goddamned Accurate

I don't think any person born and reared in the US, and is living today, could not defend Chris Rock's bitterly truthful twitter statement better than Tim Giago, a Native American who points out the racial hypocrisy and historical ignorance that has been pervasive since Mayflower docked this bitch.

Someone, somewhere said something like, "Other people can remember their atrocities, but African-Americans are forced to 'leave it in the past."

So when Rock pointed out that July 4th did not mean independence for all, even when slaves and free blacks fought, spied, cooked for soldiers, and cared for soldiers in the American Revolutionary War, I just poured out a little beer for those who aren't here to agree with him, and clear up the inaccuracies that have become standard facts in most school texts.

And they wonder why the average American kid is dumb.

Watch out America, dark-skinned black man with knotty hair is articulating his position! And truth be told, a lot of jokes Rock says to me are obnoxious and humorless, but on this note, we are two peas in a pod.

Rock was not ranting. Actually, he we was not even funny. Rock was stating the obvious that has been habitually denied like a psychotic disorder. In college, one of my psyche professors encouraged her class to read the Psychopathic Racial Personality Disorder by Dr. Bobby E. Wright.

It is a quick, but power packed read that parallels white America's collective thinking and behaviors to psychopathic behavior.

Wright defines psychopath as, "an individual who is constantly in conflict with other persons or groups. [She or] he is unable to experience guilt . . . is in conflict with other persons or groups . . . is unable to experience guilt . . . is completely selfish and callous, and has a total disregard for the rights of others."

So I know there are a handful of Negroes who are up in arms with Rock who they probably are saying was "completely inappropriate" and unpatriotic. But, fuck'em, they can board the hundreds of ships that the British sent to the Americas filled with UK's finest criminals and be guinea pigs for the new tech prisons.

I think I will thank my Blackfoot, Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole, and a third of my Apache-Iroquois-Sioux blood as I enjoy Giago's thinking:

Comedian Chris Rock sent out a tweet that went, "Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren't free but I'm sure they enjoyed the fireworks."

Was he not telling the truth? Of course he was, but some people took it as offensive and unpatriotic. Those are the same people who bury their heads in the sand whenever anyone speaks about the not so happy history of America.

Native Sun News, a weekly newspaper based in Rapid City, S. D., recently ran a cartoon that showed an Indian and an African American standing side-by-side with the caption, "Which country was built on genocide and slavery?" There have probably been several, but the first country that came to the minds of most Native Americans was America.

Real Emancipation is Reaching for the Stars

This morning I woke up with the thought, "Why doesn't America celebrate the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation?" Or at the very least, African-Americans?

And even all people of African descent living Stateside, but are foreign-born? Due to the direct benefits of Emancipation and eventually Civil Rights forcing to change immigration laws that allowed more black folk to emigrate; not the precious laws that were afforded a certain European immigrant that many tend to think was graciously extended.

But I digress. Me and my cotton picking ways.

At one pint in time, there was a celebration in Washington DC where former slaves gathered with their slave masters in an annual reunion. Uuuuhhhh, ixnay on the slave master for me; however, I get it, it was a time of rememberance, though many want to forget, but that has caused seasonal amnesia to be embedded in American culture. And with it, the beauty of the process of re-defining freedomand liberation with its struggle.

Yet, we rush to Kroger's to get slabs of ribs, links, ground beef and kegs of Heineken to gorge our bellies on July 4th, clearly knowing that, that date hadn't anything to do with the liberation of enslaved African people; yet most of us don't even know the day of Emancipation and will suck up a rib bone in contented ignorance.

And honestly, I didn't know until a couple of minutes ago, September 22, 1865, five months after the Confederates surrendered to the Union Army. Though that day was probably mentioned in a history class or two, it was irrelevant at the time. I was in a different mindset, somewhere between being too ignoarant to be proud of etching that date in my mind, or too "black" to accept a handout by Lincoln, who in actuality, signed the document due to political reasons rather than moral or humanitarian.

A few years back, I posted alternatives in celebrating US Independence with sites or places we can visit and pay homage to the genius and strugggle of our ancestors. One of them being the serpent mounds in Ohio.

Serpent Mounds in Ohio are part of a chain of structures that replicate the solar system.
For more info, read Ross Hamilton's Star Mounds.

Since then, I have read and heard a lot more about these mounds that were part of a a string of collection of structures that span from Ohio to Vermont and down to Kentucky that accurately replicate the solar system. These structures now known as "Star Mounds" are described as earth-based paradisio landmasses that were built in a way that promoted optimal life and a pristine ecological system that ran on raw energy.

The date of the mounds date tens of thousands of years, if not more, but a lot of them were destroyed in good ole American expansion in the 1700s and 1800s. Nevertheless, there is enough evidence to show that an intelligent civilization that is still light years ahead of us, existed. According to Hamilton, it was the dependence on their sophisticated technology that put them in a pickle and caused the disruption and de-evolution.

We can learn from that. Because as we barbecue, there are people being neutralized with high-tech weapons either made in the USA or funded by the USA. Our DNA is being altered with genetically modified food so that the cheesecake is created by mutant milk. Though technology pushes progress, it can also enable non-progressive thoughts and actions.

So in your little time, look to the stars and find your liberation. It ain't in a hotdog homie.
