Soulful Musings on the Unity of North American Africans

Soulful Musings on the Unity of North American Africans


Marvin X begins the New Year, 2011, with this collection of Soulful Musings on the theme of North American African Unity. Unity is the most critical issue of our sojourn in the wilderness of North America, the weapon we must use to end forever the oppression of North American Africans. With unity we can obtain, overnight, all that we are entitled: reparations, land, self-determination, sovereignty, independence and true freedom.

20. Political Unity




Soulful Musings on the Unity of North American Africans

Political Unity


In the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency of the United States, we saw the awesome unity of North American Africans, in symbiotic harmony with Wall Street financiers.
Two years later, that initial elation and euphoria has turned to disappointment and depression, mental and financial. Of course we were idealistic and romantic about the possibility of the first black president in our lifetime. It was something that we simply never imagined seriously, forget about Shirley Chissem and Jesse Jackson, they were merely harbingers of that great day that finally came to pass.


photo by Gene Hazzard




Now that the fog has lifted and we have been forced to take off our rose colored glasses, we should understand that deception is the nature of politics and President Obama has proven himself squarely in the tradition.

But it is also a truism that politicians respond to pressure, yet we have not pressed him to pay attention to our agenda, while he has placated Wall Street, the US military and others in the military, corporate, university complex. The bankers who financed his election or selection have been reimbursed to the tune of trillions, yes, rewarded rather than punished for the global financial meltdown. The corporations are again awash with money, the banks as well, and again hubris is their hallmark card, for they outright refuse to share the wealth with those they robbed and left half dead on the roadside. For sure, Obama is not the Good Samaritan, but has sided, aided and abetted the robbers. The tax cut for the rich was his latest capitulation, although in his mind it was compromise, yet in the long term it shall do nothing to address the structural problems in the American economy, the jobless crisis and/or the housing foreclosure tragedy resulting from the sub prime loan scam.

In short, the masses have gotten nothing for their vote except a sexual orgy without Vasoline. Certainly, there is no change we can believe in, a belief is worth nothing, anyway. What do you know? We know what Frederick Douglass told us that no struggle, no progress, so only through protracted struggle and eternal vigilance shall we arrive at our political goals.

There are insurmountable obstacles in our path, if we allow them to be insurmountable, for we shall overcome with active struggle, not resting until we achieve our goals. It would be helpful if our elected politicians kept the pressure on Obama, also if we had radical lobbyists to advocate our cause. Perhaps we should be prepared to pay them their requested fees, especially if they deliver.

But most importantly, there must be mass mobilization to let it be known to all concerned that we are serious, yes, it is a matter of liberty or death! There must be mass protests, rallies, marches until politicians realize they must submit to the consent of the governed. We must be so forceful that we cut the umbilical cord of the finance, military, corporate complex that has politicians by the testicles.

The obstacles include the muzzle mouthed media who have largely joined in the attempt to crucify Wikileaks for revealing the hidden truth about the American empire. The Chinese say a thief is great until he's caught, so we thank Wikileaks for catching the thief who hid truth from the global village, in the manner of Ishmael Reed's Jim Crow Media and the Nigger Breakers and Gore Vidal's description of the New York Times: the purpose of the NY Times is to enter the battlefield after the battle and shoot the wounded!

So we must transcend the sycophant media magicians who protect and perpetuate the white supremacy world of make believe, for the media is definitely part of the problem, not part of the solution to our woes unto heaven. Thank God Wikileaks has pulled the clothes off the emperor and his filthy empire of predators who have the grand delusion human and natural resources are infinitely for their pleasure, no matter what price in blood, bones and the destruction of Mother Nature, although we know it is man that is in crisis, not Mother Nature who shall reveal to man that he has no infinite and/or divine right to the air, water and land she has bequeathed. If you have a good woman and treat her right, she stays, but when you treat her wrong long enough, she will be long gone. We think Mother has had enough of man and is preparing to shake him off the planet. You blew it, buddy!

Through mass mobilization, including the general strike, we must sound the alarm bell to those who imagined we were in a deep sleep and cannot hear them burglarizing our hearts, souls and minds.

Without structural change in the economic system, the millions of jobs the blood sucking corporations have outsourced shall never return. And without fundamental change in the banking and financial system, how shall the people recover their basic wealth which is home ownership. We see how the selling of toxic assents has helped bring about the global economic meltdown. Yet we passively sit talking on cell phones, listening to ipads and watching happy shows on giant screen televisions, while the burglars remove everything we own, including our very lives and the lives of our children as well.

The capitalist predators are skilled at bait and switch, for they try to convince us socialism is bad while they practice socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. They have their health insurance at our expense, yet we do not demand the same because they convince us health insurance should not be a human right, that it is not vital to the national security of the American people, but should be subject to free market forces. Have they convinced us everything is for a price? You know you shall be charged for the sun's energy, right? You want solar energy, pay for it and be glad about it!

Since the resources of the planet are finite, we are at the end of growth, although the American predators continued to consume 80% of the world's resources, though they are 20% of the population. This invites permanent war, and so it is. We were warned not to have a standing army, but such is required of an empire. When shall the people decide that the military budget is unsustainable and shall not provide us with national security but rather national suicide.

Except to plunder, why do we have 700 military bases in 130 countries. What is this but gunboat democracy, and we are reaping the blow back, for people are deciding they don't want white supremacy oppression, or any oppression for that matter. And we must join them, our brothers and sisters throughout the Americas who have said no more Yankee imperialism, Yankee go home. Masses around the world are saying this. Millions marched against the war in Iraq, yet America proceeded as if she were deaf, dumb and blind to cries from the global village.

The Democratic party is just as guilty as the Republicans, make no distinction, otherwise Bush, Chaney, Rice, Powell, Rumsfeld would be under indictment for war crimes or serving time. But no, African proverb says one white dog will not bite another white dog!

Our political responsibility requires us to get organized, unified and stand up to pharaoh and his magicians. But even if we do nothing, Nature shall take her course because resources are finite thus growth cannot continue, there shall be change that we should be part of, otherwise we are indeed part of the problem. We see America is bankrupt and ultimately revolution may be the only solution, so we must be prepared. And like the Jew, we must be prepared to stay and also prepared to depart.

Book on Black Muslim Bakery





Book on Black Muslim Bakery to be Released on Eve of Chauncey Bailey Trial

It has come to our attention that a book by Thomas Peele of the racist/zionist/anti Muslim Chauncey Bailey Project, a consortium of Bay Area Journalists, is scheduled for release just weeks before the March, 2011 murder trial of the young men accused in the broad daylight assassination of Oakland Post Editor, Chauncey Bailey three years ago.

Members of the Black Muslim Bakery are the accused but there is substantial information they were fall guys for the Oakland Police Department's "Black Riders," a shake down squad of officers who were involved in drug dealing, money laundering, planting false evidence and false arrests.

The lead officer in the Chauncey Bailey murder was an adviser and mentor to the Bakery brothers. This officer was also in charge of the crime scene and drove away from the scene when approached by an eye witness.

Officer Longmire also visited the Bakery unofficially on the night before the murder. A raid on the bakery was scheduled and occurred the day after the assassination. The officer and his men were able to find the murder weapon and get a confession from a handyman at the bakery.
He then claimed the case solved in less than 24 hours, the quickest murder solved in the history of Oakland.

The author of the forthcoming book, Thomas Peele, has been the lead writer of the Chauncey Bailey Project that refuses to substantially investigate police involvement, rather his focus has been on the Black Muslim Bakery brothers and spreading hatred about Muslims. His book will continue his sham investigative reporting and further inflame the anti-Islamic phobia in the Bay Area and America.

If he cared about not inflaming the atmosphere on the eve of the trial, his publisher would at least delay releasing the book until after the trial. We understand the book is a history of the bakery and its controversial founder, Dr. Yusef Bey. It is an in depth account of all the sordid deeds that supposedly occurred at the bakery. We wonder will it explain the evidence found at the bakery after the murder of Chauncey and the police raid. How could numerous bullet casings be found on the roof by the new owner of the building if the police had done a thorough investigation?

Chauncey Bailey was killed because he was investigating police and city hall corruption under then Mayor Jerry Brown, now Governor of California. As Attorney General, Jerry Brown was requested by Mayor Ron Dellums to investigate the Bailey murder after suspected police misconduct, especially the behavior of lead investigator Longmire. In truth, the investigator of the investigation, Jerry Brown, should have been investigated!

We are for freedom of the press and speech, but, again, we think the release of this book just before the trial will do nothing but poison the atmosphere against Muslims and shift the focus away from the police and City Hall, the real reason Chauncey was assassinated.

His death above the US border is no different from the murder of journalists below the border in Mexico, Central and South America by politicians, police and soldiers in league with drug cartels. His death is similar to the supposed suicide of San Jose Mercury journalist Gary Webb who exposed US involvement in the Crack dealing of Nicaragua Contras in the ghettos of America to obtain money for arms in their war against the Sandinista Government in Nicaragua. Gary Webb was blacklisted and became emotionally distraught after investigating the US/Contra Crack connection.

We feel Thomas Peele's forthcoming book will possibly lead to bitter reaction by Muslims and/or Christians instead of securing justice for the real killers of Chauncey Bailey.
--Marvin X

Marvin X was an associate of Chauncey Bailey. See his collection of essays Who Killed Chauncey Bailey, Black Bird Press, Berkeley. They are also in the online archives of the Oakland Post and the San Francisco Bay View newspapers. Marvin X, probably the most prolific writer in America, completed seven book in 2010, including a massive poetry edition of the Journal of Pan African Studies, available online.

5. Male/female Unity





Toward Unity of the North American Africans

5. Male/female Unity

How shall we procreate the nation without male/female unity? Don't tell me you love the black nation when your lifestyle is diametrically opposed to the procreation of the black nation. You are a fake and a fraud and should be exposed as such, like the white oppressor and killer of the black nation, you are guilty in your hatred of rejecting the black sperm into your womb and giving birth to the black god and goddess.

Unless you truly believe in the yen and yang of life, do not enter this discussion because you are not qualified to be a part of it with your pseudo Afrocentric consciousness derived from the foundation of Eurocentric mythology. Now some of you who have issues beyond academic gender derangement or simple brainwashing, need to reach out to touch a brother and get a healing that will return you to your natural self.

Those of you who have been programmed by white supremacy edumacation, including attendance at a negro college and/or university, thinking you are so damn smart you are stupid to the ultimate degree, perhaps you need to make a visit to Gullahland or some country place where you may observe the natural order of animals so that you know the nature of the rooster and hen.

Would you then make a dog into a cat or hen into a rooster. Can you imagine the sound? A cat sounding like a dog, a hen sounding like a rooster! Give me a break. Take your academic behavior modification and wander into the ocean.

What do your people need and what are you prepared to give, the real deal Holyfield or some illusion of the monkey mind that Guru Bawa taught us. Yes, engage in the one billion one million illusions of the monkey mind and think you are aspiring to higher consciousness while we know you are engaging in the world of make believe Frazier told us about in Black Bourgeoisie just before they dismissed him from Howard University.

So let us go then into male/female unity. Only by going down this road can we continue the race of the race. Anything else is pure poppycock. The yen and yang of life is the perpetuation of life, anything else is a fabrication, a delusion, a fake and fraud.

So male and female must unite. Get beyond the ignut shit. Beyond what mama and daddy told you that was bullshit, because it didn't work for mama and daddy so how could it work for you?

The fundamental question is do you know me? Do you know who I am and who you are? Nothing else matters in the end. For if you don't know me and I don't know you, what is this all about. Kalamu ya Salaam says it is about nothing if we come together and are not transformed, we fucked and thus are still the same. We got a nut and thus are still the same. It wasn't about love it was lust, so it was about nothing, therefore we were not transformed into higher consciousness. We remain on the level of animal, beast, savage, lust, carnal, pussy and dick.

You don't know me and I don't know you. We are strangers in the night! And we got married, said we were united, but it was fake, fraud, a scam. The community was not involved. It was not truly a family affair. It was about lust, pussy and dick in the night.

Let us then rise above the carnal to spiritual consciousness that brings about unity of self and kind, unity of community, unity of family. Only then have we forged a relationship between man and woman that shall be lasting and unconditional.
--Marvin X
