When he asked, “What happened to BLACK Liberation Revolution?”
I answered with unintended but pregnant verse . . .
It became the insanity of youtube videos and
womanizing men who get paid to speak publicly in cities at
kwanzaa events and bring
the same information every year. It became
people who refuse to read,
people who disrespect Black Women as if their part of our struggle is somehow
irrelevant.
It became I-phone sickness and lack of engagement, it became
alleged Black Panther presentation at Super Bowl events
it became presidents and mumble rap,
it is firmly locked in the erroneous belief that we need to and can rebuild
Kemet
to its greatness.
It is a dance by some girl named
nae nae
it is black beauty supply products being black owned and then sold to koreans,
black liberation revolution is a marxist black family who never read marx and has completely ignored
Angela Y Davis, Claudia Jones.
it went the way of quiet talks in black barbershops that suddenly turns to
discussions of black hoes and bitches after a sister drops her son off for a haircut she could barely afford because daddy shitted on her child support,
it went the way of facebook activism, and is tucked and hidden colors hidden by
ankhs and allegations
that the sisters should follow black men that
have no,
want no
and ask no direction,
it is soft when she needed an erection not an election,
when we gave her an infection when she asked for
an insurrection. It is whips and ripped souls, no aims and no goals
BLACK liberation revolution is a pair of kneepads
asking Mr. Jones to save us from whitey
