Be Here Now

People are being kidnapped and attacked by masked men in major cities in America.

They are handcuffing children in the middle of the night.

They are acting like the SS of the Nazi Party in Germany which led to WORLD WAR II.

Blaming Muslims in Detroit does absolutely nothing to change the situation today.

Were handcuffed in the middle of the night.

Descendants of Jim Crow.

I need Muslims in Detroit to acknowledge that Black Americans are living in 1877 while they are all la di dah . . . The Future of Palestine.

I'm 52. This rift will be there for the rest of my life.

Were they Black children or were they South American?

Stop fighting allies.

They helped give Trump the WH which has plunged the US into
Hitler territory.

They didn't think about Americans, just their cause.

If they had united allies they might have achieved their goal.

And I'm getting sick and tired of people pretending that Arabs and Arab Muslims can't be bigoted against Black Americans.

Now - they are upset because we don't care about any of their causes.

And if you want to engage Black folks as allies - you have to learn how to not dismiss us.

Be here now. With Black Americans.

We've ALWAYS been the end game.

And yes - they were Black children.

Point blank - most Black Americans including myself know we don't have allies in America. America has shown us time and again they can't be trusted.

To be clear: you aren't my ally.

the Trump administration.....


Agreed, there's nothing to be gained by blaming American muslims now,
especially those who are regretting their votes...

Rather, we should do what we can to rebuild the 2020 Biden coalition---
or the 2008 Obama coalition !!!!

But Im not lifting a finger to help their causes.

The Great American Failure is "let's just come together". It's Status Quo thinking.

It's why we are and have always been a shit ass country. People- well some - have never had to pay the price for their ACTIVE choices.

I'm prepared to let people suffer consequences now.
