Our delusion of inclusion...




Guess Valerie Jarrett, or publicity pimp extraordinaire, Rev. Al or, somebody--told him he had to throw Black folk a crumb--and this is what they came up with:




Just sitting here, SMDH - Maxi-i-i-i-ne!!!  What would you tell the Changeling about his little hastily thrown-together ad?:


Webster defines delusion thusly -
a: something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated
b: a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary; also: the abnormal state marked by such beliefs

Come on Family, on this, the 147th anniversary of Juneteenth, we should, by now, be able to see the 'indisputable evidence to the contrary'--all over the damned place!  Now our 12-13% of the population certainly didn't put him in office, but it sure could put a dent in his not staying.  And at least, with the face of the trickster gone (and make no mistake, with his complicity, he WAS a rather deftly played trick); the usual greed-inspired face of war-mongering, murdering, plundering repressing, oppressing and ignoring might just move us again, to coalesce with each other--all over the world, just as Malcolm X and the OAAU/Afro-American Freedom Fighters envisioned.

Happy Belated Juneteenth!

The confluence of the mysterious hospitalization and as yet, unexplained death of the 30 year-old brother of the second son's girlfriend, followed by the 30th birthday of my first-born son the next day and then, Father's Day (among other peripheral goings-on!) - contributed to Juneteenth slipping my mind yesterday.  Though a day late and a dollar short, I thought since I'm actually sitting in Texas - I'd re-post a re-post in acknowledgement:  Juneteenth - My 4th of July.
