The Pathetic and Dangerous "Struggle" of Bored, White, Middle Class Bullys
Other than the terrifying 21st century hetero-patriarchal kkklan-colonial violence I couldnt tell what else bothered me about Charlottesville and Berkeley and all the other sites of this recent wave of amerikkklan hate.
Colin Kaepernick. The NFL and Black August
LONG LIVE BLACK AUGUST! VITA WA WATU!
“Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act.

The Responses To Krip-Hop's Track SSI Dollarz By Men In San Bruno Jail
Back in the late 90's I and Lisa Tiny Gray-Garcia had the honor to present our work in San Bruno jail. In July of 2017 I had another opportunity to present my work, this time, Krip-Hop Nation under Poetry For the People's teacher Amalia Alvarez. The men responded great to the videos, songs and talk all about Black disabled issues from Hip-Hop to police brutality but the spark was the song by Keith Jones and I entitled SSI Dollarz.

From East Oakland to North Yemen- A Youth Poverty Skolaz Investigation
The war on Yemeni people is a horrifying and disgusting thing. But, what we have to remember is that even though the Saudi government are the ones shooting the missiles, this war was started by the United States. This war is fully backed and funded by the Trump Administration. The reason for the last couple of wars that have been going on in the Middle East is because of the oil content there. The United States Government will stop at nothing to get that oil. They have started wars to start our cars.
