Growing up, one of my biggest heroes and the person I wanted to emulate when I got older was Malcolm X. This was during my time of militancy and youthful rebellion, when I thought the only way to arrive at justice was through a revolution. The insurgent within me was captivated by Malcolm X’s take no prisoner approach and the way he spoke harsh truths to the status quo.
It was not until I matured and learned through hardship and indigence that I realized Malcolm X’s power was not his fiery rhetoric but his unifying message after returning from Mecca. However, as much as I’ve become an admirer of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz’s latter days, there are still aspects of his earlier reflections that ring true given the times we live in.
What I’m referring to are not his blistering speeches where he would call “white” people devils or his addresses where he echoed the teachings of Elijah Muhammad—Malcolm X himself walked away from that type of demagoguery. Rather, what intrigued me the most was his dissection of the political and social dynamics that kept “black” folks subjugated.
To this day, one of the most compelling arguments that Malcolm X made about the evils of both political parties is found in a speech he gave about the political and economic state of “black” America. He brilliantly exposed the false-distinction between Democrats and Republicans as a choice between the lesser of the same evil. 
“Foxes and wolves usually are of the same breed. They belong to the same family—I think it’s called canine. And the difference is that the wolf when he shows you his teeth, you know that he’s your enemy; and the fox, when he shows you his teeth, he appears to be smiling. But no matter which of them you go with, you end up in the dog house.”
It took a mean mugging by reality—one that shook me out of cognitive dissonance—for me to realize that Democrats are no different than Republicans. They differ in their methods, but in the end they feast on us regardless of their gang affiliation. Both parties are subsidiaries of corporations and oligarchs; our entire political system is based on two factions bamboozling their respective bases while manufacturing dissension on all sides.

“ ... If to “show respect for the dead” you must lie about who he was, then what does that say about who he was alive? How can we “celebrate John McCain’s achievements” when his achievements are not worth celebrating? There is nothing heroic about fanning the flames of a war where hundreds of thousands of people died. And then a whole new terrorist entity was birthed. The echoes of John McCain’s “achievements” will be heard for decades as a result. These are not the actions of a hero. A real hero does it with his mind, not with a gun. Or an army.
Look, at some point, we’ve got to start being honest. John McCain was not a “human rights champion” like the news describes him. That’s absolutely false. John McCain supported War. That’s where horrific human rights violations occur. How, then, can he champion human rights when he advocates for killing humans? Yes, you can have a respectful funeral without telling lies. But when you’re telling these lies because McCain hated Trump, who are you serving? The memory of John McCain or yourself and your ego? People need to ask themselves that question. If McCain was a Trump supporter, would he be lauded in this fashion? There’s another question people need to ask themselves.
One more thing I’d like to point out. John McCain got the best quality medical care through a national health care system available only to members of the United States government. John McCain could have redeemed himself somewhat if he stood up before the Senate and said: “Every American deserves the quality of health care I got. In my memory, I ask you all here—and the Congress—to pass a national health care system for all Americans. Just like the ones in Western Europe.” He could have done that. Instead, at some point, he made it clear Trump was not welcome at his funeral. And the Democrats confirmed a bunch of Trump-picked federal judges in exchange for naming a federal building after McCain. ... “

Kamala and Clinton - Women's Empowerment......Really?
Okay so having seen this clip from JP Spears (not gonna lie I love him) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX6EDwqbLxU
I looked up whether it could be true that Kamala Harris has selected Bill Clinton to Empower women. It has to be a joke right???? RIGHT????
Well according to the following sources on 24th March 2021 it is NOT:
Washington Times
NBC News
MarketWatch.com
Washington Examiner
Fox News (yeah yeah I know you all hate Fox news but honestly they are one of many networks only reporting what they want to report)
National Review
MSN
The Ghion Journal
Yahoo
The Hill
and the list goes on.
It just proves what I said in my earlier post. The people in control DO NOT CARE about the little people like you and me. They are only interested in keeping themselves and their friends in power and shitting on the reputations of those who oppose them (whether deserved or not - usually somewhat deserved).
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

“ ... Up until the news broke that Epstein’s autopsy has been unable to readily confirm suicide, mass media headlines everywhere have been unquestioningly blaring that that was known to have been the cause of the accused sex trafficker’s death. This despite the fact that the FBI’s investigation has been explicitly labeling it an “apparent suicide”, and despite the fact that Epstein is credibly believed to have been involved in an intelligence-tied sexual blackmail operation involving many powerful people, any number of whom stood plenty to gain from his death. ....“

@TeodroseFikre
Republicans hate you; Democrats pretend to like you. While the former calls you lazy after hobbling you, the latter gives you crutches after kneecapping you. This is the playbook used by @TheDemocrats to sheepdog their constituents.
