The dastardly “his-storical” truth is that it’s all in plain old Black and White for the world to see, and that’s as near a reality as the distance from Minneapolis to Houston is as this potentially great nation struggles with the mounting police miscarriages, exposing continual systematic racism, escalating bigotries and discriminations toward certain ethnic people of color, particularly, the African-American populace .
Maybe, that’s why the young and old Black and other folk of color today, who aren’t ashamed of their linkage to the Motherland’s ancestral heritage tree, are marching, protesting and are literally demonstrating that they don’t want to hear (any) more gibberish about equity for all.
Their angry cries of the world’s engaged masses of “No Justice, No Peace” are, in reality, embellished cries of protestations and defiances since slavery times because today’s aware folk of color don’t see any equal progress being made in response to their ancestors’ ancient wailing cries for liberation from systematic colonial miseducation and intrusive police brutalities amidst the centuries old shouts and struggles for equality, justice and freedom.
Black scholars and thinkers like Mr. Bennett, who exposed the odious malignancies about bigotries and racism, are the venerated educators who aid me and others to intellectually interpret and understand the detestable effects and enduring strains of American apartheid here in the USA and to a larger extent global xenophobia everywhere.
Dr. Henry Lewis Gates Jr., noted critic and scholar, said, “The last vestige of racism in the West will be intellectual racism,” a point I’m personally beginning to see take denial roots in today’s resurfaced political society more and more with each passing day.
