For Consideration : No Kings No Black Folks

 For Consideration:

No Kings Protestors tell you why you are really out there marching….

Because the great white hope let you down. 

Because your life is worse than you ever anticipated in your wildest dreams. 

Because you been bamboozled and you been misled— like Malcolm X said. 

Oh, and black people aren’t staying home because “marching is not safe for us.”

That is what you all are telling yourselves. 

Y’ALL VOTED FOR A BLATANT WHITE SUPREMACIST.

We don’t want to join people who betray us so readily. 

We are not fucking marching with y’all— for real? 

And black folks don’t usually do performative shit. 

That’s y’all’s MO not ours. 

We are not marching or dressing in Handmaiden’s outfits or none of that Block  Party bullshit. 

Do you know why? 

We can’t do stuff for imagery. So people can pat us on the back. Because the black community has too much real shit riding on policy change. 

Y’all don’t. 

The next white guy that gets into office will restore your faith in government and make sure White America feels comfy wumfy again. 

The rollback on civil rights and diversity efforts will not be restored immediately. All of those hard won battles Trump reversed will have to be re-fought by another generation of black people. 

While you and your household will not feel a thing. Tsk tsk about all of those disenfranchised black voters. What a shame. 

So yeah, don’t want y’all to keep lying to yourselves that you are doing anything to benefit us. 

If you were, if this is where your heart really is— 

You would have voted in our name rather than march and protest in our name. 

So lose us with the nonsense. 

Thx

Signed

No Kings for Thee

With grave reluctance, I attended a ‘No Kings Protest’  today and of course I could count on both of my hands the number of Black Folks in the audience 

I then decided since I was there to try to get on the speaker list, now for transparency and disclosure there were a few Black speakers ( 3) and all of them were ‘cum ba ya’ types

I identified myself as a BLM speaker and I would not be talking about Jesus , MLK or Slavery of course 

I was going to talk about how come the ‘No Kings’ protests were never in the ‘Hood’

I was not allowed to speak at which time , I decided to yell, scream and protest from the audience 

I enjoyed every single second and moment…. I don’t have a voice now as I post this comment 

When the protest ended masses of White folks wanted to meet and chat with me

I gave them my speaker engagement Fee:-)

I don’t expect there will ever be a ‘No Kings’ protest from a Black Venue anywhere in America 

 

The return of Negrophobia in the Trump Era of America 2026

Yet of late a new wave of contempt has reached the shores of Black America with Trump in our White House , this draft dodger, convicted felon and woman abuser has unleashed his hatred for Black Americans with attacks on DEI and prominent Black Americans in our military to public officials.

The Trump Regime seeks to remove every credentialed Black American in our government and civil society, soon he will add Black Americans on the ICE targets of Americans demanding our ‘papers’

Our Federal law enforcement agencies will once again under Trump’s  unlawful executive orders will become enforcers of racial discrimination and profiling of Black Americans in public and private venues in America.

In this retreat era of segregation  in America on the footprints of slavery, segregation, and the like for many Black folks in the nation we must  now confront the specter and culture of ‘Negrophobia’. It is a derivative pathology of racism not novel in substance just different in application and behavior.

Often ‘Negrophobia’ is a civil disdain hidden in a non verbal activity or a cloaked bigoted behavior absent the optics of raw prejudice. It has the distinct stench of racism but it lacks the venom and vulgar and virulent demeanor of hard core bigotry.

In the gentile terrains of an office environment or the mild contours of an restaurant or even in a plaid elevator gathering the presence of 'Negrophobia' is a reality that is far to often present in the space of Black folks and others( read whites and of late even other people of color). From the nostrils and optics of many Black folks often one feels that he or she is germ or some kind of disease that people seek to avoid when they are in our orbit and presence. We have become in many circles an inconvenient truth an interactive poster of crime and darkness.

Usually when ‘Negrophobia’ is in effect communication,dialogue and authentic displays of normalcy are absent. A surreal reality takes over and quite often the Black person in the equation is the odd person out. The presence of “Negrophobia" has always been a part of America's landscape it never leaves and it surfaces anywhere and anytime in all spaces annd places in our country.

White politicians of late besides the president  have become embolden with verbiage that incites racial angst. Media outlets fill the their platforms with racially charged violent crimes.The nation’s zeitgeist is packed with themes of a civil rights fatigued where the normal  'white majority'  is tired of the claims of victimhood and grievance from ‘those people’.

The personal toil and anguish of always being viewed as a threat and unworthy of respect and trust is creating havoc on the health of Black Americans. The specter of 'Negrophobia' has destroyed and shattered the internal texture of far too many  Black communities. Negrophobia augments the disconnect between Black students and their teachers, it has created record numbers of suspensions and expulsion in our public school system for Black students. The economic costs of this pathology is in the trillions of dollars from health care costs to abandoned urban cities.

The basic civility which is required for a civilized nation to operate is now in peril. The pervasiveness of Negrophobia is contaminating even other minorities now. Black Americans confront waves of Negrophobia from other minorities in America. It is disturbing but other minorities are engaged in displaying reservations and contempt towards Black Americans. This is truly a surreal state of existence in America when Black Americans now have to experience and confront Negrophobia from not only White America but from other people of color as well.

Negrophobia will destroy the very soul of our nation if we allow it to flourish and prosper unchecked. 

The Artistry of Politics

Politics are never righteous or based on principles, in fact there is no honor in ‘politics ‘because none is required to achieve an outcome or objective , they exist because of the nature of human beings and interactions between human beings

Politics have a broad definition and interpretation it has many iterations from art to negotiations of various perspectives both pro and con,there is no absolute rule that captures the root and essence of ‘politics’

The ‘politics’ of an issue or matter is not always about partisanship between various political parties or ideologies among diverse collectives, in fact when there are competing interests for opportunities and agendas in both the public and private sector there are the ‘politics’ of competing individuals and organizations and others as well

We @ Plane Ideas enjoy all that encompasses ‘politics’ from the research to the promotion and messaging of the ‘politics’ of an issue.

Return to Segregated America

 In the Trump Regime there is a deliberate agenda to revert to a segregated America in both the public and private sectors of America 

Trump’s executive orders/edicts are NOT laws but operate as instructions for our government bureaucracy 

These executive orders are subject to litigation and not the law of the land and therefore should be ignored by those in private industry 

Our Constitution does not allow for racism and unlawful government edicts and executive orders who promote racial segregation and discrimination against minorities in America

I welcome and look forward to our courts rejecting any and all attempts by Trump to make our government return to segregational policies and practices 

War at Home

America is in a War that has absolutely nothing to do with with our way of living. We are in a war not where

are interests are in peril or threaten .

The war in Iran has created by the will of an unstable individual the POTUS.

The POTUS is a clear and present danger to America and the world 

Black Americans/ Jewish-Americans

 The attack and the dismantling of DEI programs and related services and initiatives @ UM with major support by Jewish Organizations  and prominent Jewish-American leaders and individuals has created a truly disturbing  situation for Black Americans and Jewish Americans that may not ever be healed soon enough!

Black Americans have been allies of Jewish Americans for centuries in America, the nation’s most historical civil rights organization NAACP invited Jewish Americans to partner with its  founding .

Jewish-Americans have experienced a better life in America because of Black Americans and our advocacy for civil rights for all Americans especially minorities and women 

Black Americans specifically have suffered and experienced incredible acts of discrimination and oppression by being advocates for civil rights for All Americans 

Black Americans historical relationships with Jewish-Americans does not deserve the contempt and disregard for DEI by prominent Jewish groups @ UM nor in litigated matters in our courts.

The Jewish Diaspora is quite diverse with many Black Jews existing and living in America for centuries now

To observe Jewish-Americans supporting Trump’s Anti-DEI policies and Anti-Academic Freedom on our college and university venues is extremely troubling and outrageous 

I welcome a major change in the attitudes and behaviors that exist in Jewish-American venues towards Black Americans the levels and presence of racism and bigotry towards Black Americans is at a level that is unacceptable and will not be ignored, tolerated by Black Americans like myself and millions of Black Americans in America
