ON SAFIYA SINCLAIR, author of HOW TO SAY BABYLON A MEMOIR By William Thorpe

There is nothing unique about a hot in the ass 19 year old teenage girl rebelling against her Dad, The family and in extension the entire society, culture and political-economy that constructed and determined the existence of the Father-object of the teenage rebellion. Our human condition is replete with it. First of all this isn't umbrage, I make no bones about Sistah Safiya Sinclair, I applaud her Professorship and scholarly realization. Nonetheless there is a contradiction in the presented critique of her rebellion against her upbringing and development, which despite its negative basis has matured into an exploited qualitative valuation, as she has monetized as all things of our human condition is to be expected and its to that contradiction, which isn't specific to Sistah Safiya to which she can lay no claim, but is experientially general, to Blackness and its to that I speak, under the exegesis, as formulated by our revolutionary French Brethren, 'that even the Sun had to justify it's existence at the court of Dialectics' and to put it bluntly as social beings no critique is unique and exceptional which synthesis and resolution as purpose of the expression reveals and exposes a continuum that can either fork antagonistically or contradictorily and we find both in Sistah Safiya's work. Sistah Safiya was born into a Jamaican Rastafarian household and she rebelled. Then she gave us its account in, HOW TO SAY BABYLON,A MEMOIR. My reaction to her work is, her expressed and articulated reasons, which she concisely gave us in her FRESH AIR interview begs this: Those contradictions that necessitated her rebellion against her Dad, exist here in these United States as full blown antagonisms, in society and the political-economy as human redemption and realization bane. So my ask of Sistah Safiya Sinclair is, simply this, will she direct her perception, ability and will at critiquing these American antagonisms just as she critiqued her Dads contradictions on Fresh Air? As I've stated, this isn't ad hominem, but we have to mature into the acceptance that, for example, the legitimate passion of "The Color Purple", critique, which Sistah Safiya's work is subject, is a utilitarian declaration that the ills of Patriarchy, the antagonisms of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, isn't just relegated and limited to a scape-goated, corrupted Black masculinity, but is firstly human and secondly an aggravated dehumanizing consequence of those barbaric conditions that gives rise to Sistah Safiya's Dads' Rastafarianism as existential resistance. Solzhenitsyn gave us his "Gulag Archipelago", as if injustice and suppression were only endemic to the Soviet Union, then as he lived and existed in good ole Vermont he got reacquainted to disillusionment and the reminder that the narrative he gave us in " Gulag..."knew no borders and was also American. Or what about the pitiful Ayn Rand and her hypocrisy even as she pathetically tried to replicate the authoritarianism she, critiqued in her relations with her dumbstruck acoloytes. I cite these two Europeans to make the point that the grass is greener on the other side idealistic critique of our human behavior isn't limited to the inferiority complex of the marginalized. Because as citizens of The Soviet Union, Solzhenitsyn and Rand were in a more political-economic privileged position than Sistah Safiya and her Rastafarian family were in Jamaica still they found cause to call on The United States to bear witness, just as in 1776 the Great schizophrenic in Chief, Thomas Jefferson called on a "candid world" to bear witness to his woes even as he yoked woes on enslaved Black People.

REALLY, REALLY CHIP ROY (R), VICE-PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS A DEI (DIVERSITY, EQUITY INCLUSION) HIRE? By William Thorpe

The thing with racism and the racist is those filled with it would rather go to hell and back, than simply say you damn right I am. So they gas light themselves with, I'm not against Black Lives Matter but all lives matter or hell, blue lives matters which is to say Cops lives matter. Now the declaration, Black Lives Matter didn't simply appear because some squirmy, demented brain decided to state an obvious, which is if in our human condition, for whatever reason which doesn't factor much into this work, humans are labeled, so the assertion Black Lives Matter is simply, affirming the obvious. As such the question is what the hell is going on in the environment determining Black Life, that the obvious has and must be stated, that Black Lives Matters? Which as declarative, is a mechanism intended to, remove its necessity and within this intention we encounter myriad forms, a one after the other variations of it, equal to all the pretzel twist the racist contort their psyche in its denial. The profane nature of racism is so abjectly self-negating that in its incorrigibility it seeks refuge in the delusional sophistry of euphemisms. Beginning with "supremacy", which then morphs into the racist, playing out a Monty Python skit or a la Don Quixote reduced to attacking, the anti-racism conceptual mechanisms as windmills. Which brings us to the insanity of Chip Roy, a Texas Republican hurling "a DEI hire" (which is one of the anti-racism conceptual mechanisms) as epithet against Vice-President Kamala Harris, who is a Black Woman. Because Chip Roy by attacking DEI wants to be spared the effort and exertion of realizing his humanness by "thinking".Because were he to think he'd realize that the Black American experiential anti-racism critique embodied in DEI isn't an ephemeral idealistic pursuit of retribution, but is a symbiotic revelatory mechanism highlighting the sickness of the mental labor expended in constructing it's expectant paranoia anticipating DEI. Now the DEI apoplexy just as critical race theory that are dually consuming Texas Congressman Chip Roy, including Chris Rufo and their FOX News perdition, reveals something else, which is what is lacking not only domestically but internationally in the Black World is the dearth of INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM for Black people by Black people. People like Chip Roy, Chris Rufo, Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, Jason Miyares, Glenn Youngkin, Gregg Abbot, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Paul Weyrich, Rick Santelli, Leonard Leo, Dinesh D'Souza, Edward Blum, 50cent (rapper), Jay-Z (rapper), Charlemagne Tha God (radio personality), Steve Harvey (comedian), Terry Crews (actor), just to name a few are the minds and hearts who either actively oppose Black political-economic assertiveness internationally and domestically, along with those who enable the opposition. Investigative journalism will give us the necessary information needed to understand what is what. Let's take the State of Texas, with the largest grouping of Black People, I pose a simple rhetorical question has anyone studied its politics and to what extent is it even playing along that its Black people are visible to it. So it isn't surprising that a Texas politician, Chip Roy dare insults The Vice-President of These United States, Kamala Harris, with the so silly on so many levels that it isn't even original racist epithet of a DEI hire.

Is The Actor Morgan Freeman's Mouth Big Enough For His Foot That He's Shoving In It By William Thorpe

Okay, so Morgan Freeman wants to criticize Black History month, yeah okay that's fine he can do that. If he's inferiority addled over the name AFRICAN-AMERICAN, that's okay too. He isn't the first or the last AFRICAN to self-loathe. But this is where Morgan Freeman's antics turns into cowardice and where he doesn't get a pass. Well, he doesn't have any agency in his blackness, whether he's embraced or shunned he's still black. Now as it is, neo-Jim Crowites are in their zombie virulence, animated by their "barker" in chief, Donald-#olelabrateyes-Trump, so we got, clown Governors in Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee et al,amnesiac over, Stephen Crane's tears. So Why is Morgan M.I.A?

THE COLD WAR OF AMERICAN RACISM AND THE T.V PERSONALITY, DIANE SAWYER By William Thorpe

What exactly is the purpose of this recent Diane Sawyer, O.J.Simpson related interview---what exactly are we supposed to learn from it? Will Diane Sawyer interview Trayvon Martins' Mother? Will she interview Breonna Taylors' Mom? Will Diane Sawyer interview all of The Moms, whose sons, daughters have been killed by Cops and vigilantes? Will Diane Sawyer interview Governor Greg Abbott for his reasons for pardoning a convicted murderer? Will Diane Sawyer interview Speaker of The US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson to explain his unconstitutional presence at the now, 34 count convicted felon Donald Trumps' New York State trial? Will Diane Sawyer interview all of those Republican politicians including the 34 count convicted felon Donald-#olelabrateyes-Trump on account of their anti-semitic endorsement?

The Patriarchy Narrative In Hip Hop is a Crucifixion of Agency By William Thorpe

Just as the American Dollar realized quintessential value by shaking off the distortions of the gold standard, Hip Hop in turn qualified humanness by purifying speech. So now in 2023 Hip Hop is marking its jubilee as such we are reminded that Hip Hop as all other organized human inclinations is patriarchal. I don't want to take much of the reader's attention speaking on the patriarchy save to say it's high time we reminded our better halves, our sistahs, these "curves" on this planet with us that subjugation, subservience, is first and foremost a surrender of agency. If my understanding is correct the emergence of Rappers Delight as accepted Hip Hop's first full feature was due to a woman's agency. There is much women can do to assert agency, but the patriarchy critique in Hip Hop as in all our other human realizations is a way out, not only denying agency but mocking it. The consequence of this mockery is we both suffer. As men our value is comparatively compromised relative to woman's unwillingness to firstly define agency. The patriarchy critique is just another expression, another formulation of that last fetid gasp of Southern enslavers of Black people, that Northern abolitionist were the ones inciting the enslaved to resist and pursue Liberty, implying that the enslaved Black man, woman and child had to be roused to assert agency for Liberty. We constantly encounter the compromise of agency as that ring in the oxen's nose serving another's interest. I express my agency with this quote from The Schizophrenic in Chief Thomas Jefferson: "all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." [unquote The Declaration Of Independence In Congress, July 4,1776,]

ESPN NFL Analyst Herm Edwards Educating Us or Is He Selling Us Slavery by William Thorpe

The Running Back position or Half-Back or Full Back in Football is, football. Its integral to football as pigskin and once upon a time mythical Impis as Barry Sanders, The Great Jim Brown, The Battering Rams of Jerome Bettis, John Riggins and of course the improbable Walter "Sweetness" Payton ruled the 120 yards of battlefield, AKA the Gridiron of football war as Running Backs. Yup Running Backs. Now Herm Edwards has seen the bottoms of many runningback cleats and the resulting torn and ripped turf introduced to his face from those cleats to respect and I stress respect those Impis as runningbacks ruling the gridiron. So what's possessed him to now join in enabling  and further advancing the lie and treachery, yes treachery that is specifically in the employ of the billionaire owners of teams in the NFL, that the runningback isn't valuable and the game has passed them a narrative that only has one purpose which is squeezing as much value from the human being as capital, then casting off the exploited and used husk, human beings which in this specific circumstance are runningbacks, yup human beings who are football players. So I ask again what is Herm Edwards in his role as ESPN NFL analyst selling when he argues that modern football is a passing game and as such the runningback isn't integral to its offensive schemes (and I'm paraphrasing) as such should appreciate the pennies tossed their way. But the reality is even if modern football is a passing game, then it all the more emphasizes the runningback in all aspects of its function and purpose: from the pure function of running the ball, to blocking, being a check down safety valve for the quarterback and being the one and only reason, the passing from play action works. Here is an anecdote that I challenge Herm Edwards to refute, Matthew Stafford as the former Detroit Lions Quarterback was traded to The LA Rams and he promptly won a Superbowl, why? With the LA Rams, Stafford was compelled to use his runningback as opposed to his fetishzing the jump ball pass to Calvin Johnson aka Megatron, that only padded stats but nothing to quote Herm Edwards played to win, so what we see is the runningback is as integral to modern football as the position was back during Jim Thorpe's Dog Soldier days on the Gridiron. There isn't any insight I'm providing that isn't obvious to any perfunctory appreciator of the game of football, so it's incomprehensible to hear and have ESPN and its serfs stridently pushing the runningback isn't valuable narrative when we know it's a lie. The devaluation of the runningback position is due to the treachery of the NFL Players Union selling out the runningback position under the gambit of a rookie salary cap. Regardless of the rationale and logic of the rookie salary cap the NFL Players Union should've carved out an exemption for the runningback position from the top end. On the issue of Sequon Barkley selling out I'll leave that to the barbershop to remind him that the ancestors survived slavery so he wouldn't have to kowtow to the New York football Giants, come on man.

What Is States Rights, Be Wary

States rights is the dinner to which you're invited only to find a fully occupied table with beady eyes hungry on you clutching forks and made in 1877 tools of compromise of deconstruction and Von Clauswitz's "Terrible Truth" you are the meal.

Even Death Is Politicized By William Thorpe

Is a death under a Socialist political-economy with a Communist Party anymore a death than that under a Capitalist and Statist political-economy?

Human beings are dying senselessly, unjustly, unreasonably regardless of political-economy and political structure.

Is the death of the Cuban due to economic embargo by the United States anymore a death than that of a Black American born in the racist states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

How about this: Egyptians are murdered, killed so Europeans living in Israel can sunbathe and contract Melanoma which is all based on their religious claims. While religious claims of Native Americans who have been largely exterminated are ignored.

The drowned and bloated bodies of black men, women and children fill the Mediterranean in their separation to escape the slavery and colonialism continuum the European lands they are escaping to wrought on them.

When Racism Is A Dismissive Of A List Of Dead, Killed By Police Black People By William Thorpe

Rich Bellis a well-fed shiny-faced Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal gave us this critique in an essay, "Surviving Documents" in the June 2021 issue of the Sun Magazine.

"After police vehicles were burned and demonstrators were maced and the dumpling shop was boarded up and a mural with a fist and a list of names was painted over the boards   "

Am I surprised that a worker at the Wall Street Journal, a beneficiary of another bigots observation, Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that

"All experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed"

Because if it isn't the tolerance, suffering the bigotry of the Wall Street Journal that enables Rich Bellie to dismissively reduce the justice sought for black people murdered by police to a list of names     What possessed him?
