Even before and certainly after a man deposits his seed in the womb
of a woman, he has no rights over the control of her womb and the fruit
thereof. Male politicians need to stay out of all issues relating to the
body of women. Yes, stick to men's business! You'll be doing great if
you can handle men's issues, which is doubtful--alas, you may need the
help of women on these issues.
"Men don't know their asses from a
hole in the ground. They must ask their woman, Baby, where's my
asshole!" (from the monologue, One Day in the Life, a docudrama by
Marvin X)
"Look,
when I jump my pussy jumps, therefore my pussy belongs to me!"

Donald,
I have my own agenda but if I can help a human being, I will do so, so
this is my message to you: Make no more statements about women, focus on
American issues, international issues and men issues. Leave all
statements regarding women to experts on your dream team. You claim you
are a winner but you are acting like a loser and you will lose if you
alienate women. I know you love women and I love women but your mouth
can defy your ass so please shut up on women issues. Men love you
because you speak like a man with his nuts out the sand, so don't
alienate the women who are with you 100%, such as your wife, children
and grandchildren. Again, I am not with you but I am not against you.
--Marvin X

Dear Donald,
I
write to you as the father of three daughters, six sisters, a mother,
three mothers of my children and several women who impacted my life on
the most deepest level and I am forever grateful to all the females in
my life.
Most importantly, people who observe me in my
private life, say I am most humble when in conversation with my
daughters. Indeed, my daughters have taught me humility as per relations
with the feminine gender. One reason is because as the father of two
sons, one transitioned and one totally alienated, I had to fall back on
my daughters for spiritual and emotional support. But much to my
surprise, my daughters sent me into shock when I saw their elegance in
representing aspects of my personality. It was then that I had to
deconstruct my addiction to the patriarchal mythology. I saw my
daughters represented every dream I had for my sons. This rocked my
patriarchal world to the deepest level, and yet I was proud of my
daughters for representing me and thus continuing the tradition every
parent desires of his children, especially when the claim no connection
with the family tradition. In truth, the DNA is so strong we continue
the family tradition no matter what, yes, often in total ignorance we
are carrying on every dream of the ancestors.
I note
that you have two sons who are involved in your world and this is great.
I don't know if you have daughters, but if you do, I'm sure you are not
keeping them below the glass curtain. As parents, we want the best for
our sons and daughters and we never know which of them will assume the
authority of our desires because DNA is like that.
We
can see in our deepest dreams our children take up the baton and carry
on even though we have never had a conversation on the matter and they
assume what they are doing is on their dime rather than ours.
Most often this is amazing to us when we see they are indeed in the tradition but don't realize it.
I
desire only the best for my daughters. I do not want the glass ceiling
to stop them from their life goals and, I must admit, they continue to
excel, except one daughter who is yet excelling but has totally given
up on America and its white supremacy mythology. "Dad, Ghana may not
have electricity 24/7 but Ghana doesn't have white supremacy 24/7. When I
go to a four star hotel, nobody follows me around in Accra. When I go
to an expensive store in Accra, nobody follows me around. And I have no
desire to raise my daughter in a white supremacy toxic environment. I
urge you to join me in Ghana.
Donald,
I am not
for you or against you--do your thing. But man to man, I suggest you say
nothing else about women issues. As I watch you perform on the
political stage, I wonder how many times can you shoot yourself in the
foot. As I am known as a foot shooter myself, I suggest you back yo ass
up a little for your sake and the American people you want to save from
perdition.
I am a revolutionary Black
nationalist so I have no problem with you as a white nationalist. Do
your thang. As per your building a wall at the border, America has the
right to seal her borders. Mexicans have many issues as you have pointed
out. I love Mexico and Mexicans because this nation gave me refuge
during my exile as a resister to the war in Vietnam in 1970. Not only
did Mexico give me refuge, but I was there with brothers and sisters
from throughout Latin America, e.g., Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Venezuela, Columbia and elsewhere. We all are in gratitude for Mexico
giving us refuge from US Imperialism. And yet this does not absolve
Mexico for the slaughter of students at the University a few months
before I arrived in 1970. This does not absolve Mexico for the
disappearance of parents who came to the University looking for their
children.
But what about US students who were
slaughtered at Kent State and the Orangeburg massacure in South
Carolina. Or the brutal, violent and longest student strike in American
academic history at San Francisco State University to establish Black
Studies and Ethnic Studies.
