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.

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 MOTIVES OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND KRYS BOYD OF KERA THINK, GIVING FORUM TO KABIR CHIBBER, MUST BE CALLED TO ACCOUNT AND INTERROGATED By William Thorpe

Think.Kera.org

On 4/24/24 Krys Boyd of KERA's THINK Interviewed Kabir Chibber on his opinion piece, "HOLLYWOOD'S NEW FANTASY A MAGICAL COLORBLIND PAST, which had been published in THE NEW YORK TIMES. First of all I'm detained in solitary confinement and I listen to Krys Boyd's KERA THINK most of the time, some of her content are inane others speak truth, but that's the human condition as such, say what you will but most are intellectually honest. Then there is the 4/24/24, Kabir Chibber interview, which peculiarly on two occasions, Krys Boyd allowed Kabir Chibber to disparage and dismiss The Vice-President of The United States Kamala Harris without context, as a matter of fact Chibber went out of his way to disparage Kamala Harris, underscoring his animus, which after listening to the interview smells like crass jealousy. Now would a man who would presume critique, idealistically of the entire Black historic condition and a cornerstone of the American GDP or Gross National Product, Hollywood be animated by jealousy of a woman, yup.What's that adage, "if it quacks like a duck....,it's a duck? Hell yeah Kabir Chibber is a duck. Look not only is he jealous of Vice-President Harris but ostensibly he's jealous of Black People, because one doesn't arrive at the seething disdain premised, better yet, expressed in his ".....colorblind" work without the sort of slanted eyes of opprobrium to wit jealousy, too much energy was expended by Kabir 'duck' Chibber on a enterprise that no matter how he's given the benefit of doubt, ranks fetid with, intellectual-dishonesty ,infantile sophistry, specious context, farcical excavations and a buffoonish premise. Am I surprised that The New York Times, fell all over itself publishing the idiotic work "HOLLYWOOD'S NEW FANTASY A MAGICAL COLORBLIND PAST"? No. Despite its support for Professor Nikole Hannah Jones 1619 PROJECT, The New York Times is an American establishment and just as we are always reminded of that other axiom, a leopard and spots, The New York Times is incapable of performing, what would be the leopard and its spots alchemy by becoming dialectically objective. Krys Boyd of THINK is also hopelessly subject to the establishment criticism. Now consider any contemporary journalist presented with the opportunity to interview Adolf Hitler or other leadership elements of The Third Reich post its destruction and everything that we now know of it and that journalist indulging in that unconscionable bothsideism of Donald Trump's assertions should be treated equally as Joe Bidens' when we already know the consequence of that world view? Well that is exactly what The New York Times and Krys Boyd of Think done in the matter of Kabir Chibber and his cartoonish neo-Linnaeusism opinion piece. The gist of 'duck 'Chibber's work presents the strawman logic of "colorblind". Then he reveals his 'annoyance' (as if "even the rocks "should commiserate with him) with Hollywood's artistic liberties of portraying Black People in Eurocentric milieus that historically excluded them. Of course he took offense to the movie BLACK PANTHER. Now when challenging intellectually dishonest works most of the time, their premise will at least have a modicum of 'idea' to be dispatched. But 'duck' Chibber doesn't even give us that.I mean really he has issues with a Black Woman playing Queen of a European principality in a cinematic work? Okay so what realism, what historical honesty are we supposed to accept, THE GAME OF THRONES, with its fire breathing dragons on? Now 'duck' Chibber's ironic cloaking of the inherent bigotry of his work, which Krys Boyd, to her credit and despite her compromises during the interview still had an ember of interrogative objective, to smell that it was that tired stench of bigotry fueling, Messer 'duck 'Chibber, to which the old 'duck' recognized with the comical protestation that he isn't, "a racist" .But the thing with life is yes, we can't read the mind but we sure as hell, will see the work and Messer 'duck's' is that old, "thou doth protest too much" ,because if it's okay for White movie makers to give us all sorts of bizarre, outlandish plots, hyper unrealistic dramatizations, taking all sorts of liberties with how we understand 1+1=2, yet Hollywood tells us that not only isn't 1+1 a 2,but we should accept that a bunch of brunettes, blondes and carrot tops were enslaved by other brunettes, blondes and carrot tops in Cecil deMilles TEN COMMANDMENTS. Now if this isn't a prima facie refutation of 'duck 'Chibber's ravings. In other words it's okay for Eurocentrism to give us all sorts of improbabilities and implausibility's at the expense of the old 'duck's Hollywood critique. Hell even that once upon a time "black face" of White actors placing themselves in, according to the old 'duck's mental labors historical implausible realities. I haven't even got to the quintessential repudiation of the 'duck's gibberish which is the fraudulent depiction of Jesus Christ by Eurocentrism as blonde and blue eyed or pick your palette of hair and eye color, but don't stray from Messer Carl Linnaeus, homo sapiens europaeus. So if The New York Times with all its intellectual resources and to a lesser degree Krys Boyd of KERA THINK conveniently ignored the double standard of Kabir Chibber's opinion piece and allowed its intellectual-liberal regurgitations existence. We can only reach one conclusion, that supremacy as Sisyphus is haplessly caught in its wretched futility loop. First of all what does Kabir Chibber know of history? Okay let's indulge him on his terms. How much of history isn't a set of symbiotic relations? What quality of these Americas is unadulterated "White", with whatever White is supposed to mean? I mean 'duck' Chibber, presents such a preposterous speech that incredulity is an understatement. The great schizophrenic, Thomas Jefferson along with his work of authoring, The Declaration enslaved a Black Woman, Sally Hemings whom he serially raped by any and all standards. Yet there are legion among us who deny and decry its history. Dredging up all sorts of nauseous sophistry that Thomas Jefferson and his reprehensible ilk and class should be understood within the prevailing standards of their times and epoch, really? Yet we should celebrate, honor and commemorate what was positive from that history,really? Now if contemporary humanity is the same biologic, mental and emotional beast unchanged for the thousands of years with our proficiency being that of braining each other, why then should our evaluation and accounting of our mutual behavior be according to a subjective and biased "standard", which we know to be nothing more than a justifying gambit? .All we value are actions and activities of our mutual past, yet we indulge in the petty corruption of, we can't dissect our past behavior, which then subjects us to collective schizophrenia as evidenced by Messer Kabir' duck' Chibber and his " colorblind "work.

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.

The White-Evangelical Ethno Nationalist "States Right" To In Dicta Define The Woman Pre-Menopausal Life By William Thorpe

WhereAs pregnancy is the primary purpose of Womans function.

WhereAs Woman has no right to abort the pregnancy.

WhereAs such abortion limitation on the Woman fundamentally distinguishes the Womans life.

WhereAs chattel enslavement of black people, the "state right" to in dicta define the Woman pre-menopausal life as the white-evangelical ethno nationalist apogee in securing Womans pregnancy, purpose and function.

Reacquaint Yourself With the Social-Contract

Awright Women to all of you acting like six stooges on the Supreme Court of the United States haven't declared you outside of history, I know you're reeling but do you have a faint recollection of a much touted and worshipped declaration, something to the effect of "life", liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? Anyway I get it your own sisterhood betrayed you, denied your agency       So here is the inexorable and inevitable logic of Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization 142 S. ct. 2228. What you can/can't eat, can/can't wear, can/can't drink under dicta rubric that you're in your ovulating cycle.

Now let me say this, I know you've heard of CRISPR, the gene scissors. Well on the horizon is the potential to generate eggs and sperm from one individual. Secondly mechanical-womb incubators are already present and surrogacy is mundane as financial enterprise. So considering white-evangelicals and their Roman Catholic enablers are all about pregnancies, the only practical polemic is tell them to avail themselves of emerging bio-technology.

The White-Evangelical Position On Their Christianity Is Simple Silliness or It's An Insidious Perpetual Get Out Of Jail Disclaimer By William Thorpe

Either the white-evangelical position on their Christianity is simple silliness or it's an insidious perpetual get-out-of-jail disclaimer. Because if on the face of their Evangelical-Christianity that confession of Jesus Christ as Lord-Savior is total absolution based on the Christ Crucifixion ritual then certain states should be evident, which are:

• What we should find within the white-evangelical community,
• What we should find as the white-evangelical existence,
• What we should experience within the white-evangelical speech,

Are upright, sinfree, Solomonic wisdom     in one word we should enounter the full all around and well developed human being. But we do not, instead what we find is hypocrisy, dysfunction, and social resentment, not on our terms but on white-evangelical terms. In other words white-evangelical Christians want their cake and eat it too. Because if the Christ Crucifixion ritual obsolves sin       yet the mere profane terms of the human condition is a Sisyphean dialectic  of contradictions and antagonisms and the white-evangelical apology is the Christ crucifixion ritual with the implication of their sin is never sinning expressed in form as speculative-morality, a sanctimony displayed as selective critique of the idealistic "culture" a construct of strawman progeny which the eponymous Saul aka Paul cannot deny nor renounce it's antecedent in Rome. The question isn't about the Christ-Crucifixion ritual      that is for it's honest thinkers to reconcile.

This work isn't intended to challenge Christianity. The focus however is on exposing the petty formulations of white-evangelical religiosity which is nothing less than sophistry employed in the ruthless vulgar monetization of the human being       which needless I add, mocks one religiosity fundamental tenets, that the human condition, a prior is in the image of God.

I leave this resolution to the not fallen.

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?

Crocodile Tears and Selective Sympathies by William Thorpe

We cry for the Ukrainian women and child escaping conflict. While we dry our eyes ignoring the African, Latin American, non-white woman and child also escaping even more heinous terror and conflict.

I heard of a church in Lexington, Kentucky claiming fellowship with Ukrainians while I don't recall that same church shedding a tear or lighting a candle for the Yemeni woman and her child      Hell I don't recall that same church calling biblical wrath on the police murders of  Breonaa Taylor, which happened in their own back yard.

Our selective sympathies ignore the Palestinian woman and her child, the Congolese woman and her child, the South Sudan woman and her child, the Venezuelan woman and her child, the Cuban woman and her child, the Iranian woman and her child, the Syrian woman and her child, the North Korean woman and her child, the Mozambique woman and her child the Somali woman and her child, the Black American woman and her child, the rural and poor White American and her child. 

Who and what is the Ukrainian woman and child that brings forth and induces crocodile tears and elective sympathies?

Present themselves clothed in their abject deprivations with each according to their injustices, squat their mocked haunches, scoop separating Ukrainian tears from the mighty river - torrent of their tears and worship it.

Value it.

The U.S. Constitution Is Silent On Abortion Viz Health By William Thorpe

The Idiot Justice Clarence Thomas with the Typical forked tongue conservatism and it's Republican intellectual-liberalism claimed that the U.S. Constitution is silent on abortion viz health.

Really?

[The Constitution of the United States of America]

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." [My emphasis]

Article I Section 8; 

"The Congress shall have power to.....Provide for the.....General Welfare of the United States....."

Black's Law Dictionary Defines;

General Welfare: The publics health, peace, morals, and safety.

Public Health:

(1) The health of the community at large

(2) The healthful of the sanitary condition of the general body of people or the community en masse; esp. the methods of maintaining the health of the community, as by preventative medicine and organized care for the sick.

Health:            

(1) The state of being sound or whole in body, mind, or soul

(2) Freedom from pain or sickness

Abortion is Materially a Health Issue

The entire abortion question is one of health. The Woman's health. Regardless of its formulation abortion remains a health issue. Whether or not the state recognizes its practice or renders it illicit, Women will do it as eve taught them to [yes for you Evangelicals kooks, because if as you believe that Eve as Genesis 3:6-7 narrates, became like God, knowing, then it goes to say abortion and it's how to was the first order of Buisness]

The Federalist Society in its "useful idiot" role can make it's bigoted and one-dimensional assertions about the Constitution all it wants and it cannot change nor distort the "General Welfare" text of the Constitution. The Clarence Thomases and Samuel Alito's will scheme and pervert and consequently, we will mock them and relegate them as in 2020 America status are toppled without as much a requiem.
