Michelle On Risk of U.S.

Michelle observes that Obama as a Black man in the US could be killed going to the gas station...they were not raised to let the threat of white violence stop their day to day trod.

In Obama's 2nd Trayvon speech, and remember it did take TWO, he echoed Michelle's line of thought: 'hey...it could have been me'.  Isn't this defeatist.  The Same thing in his Henry Louis Gates speech, (before he bumped his head and called a white cop 'stupid'), he first said 'you know, that could have been me in my house'.

So they mean: 'We run the risk of being niggerized by being here in the US (i.e. where racism-yt supremacy-in it's most lethal form 'lives').  We were not raised to let the fear of that paralyze us.'

How much further though is it to move from not being afraid of it, to actually moving to stop racism-yt supremacy Directly?

It is a long long way.

Pirates? Don't Believe the Hype. (AFRICOM)

Any y'all feel yourselves in any measure interested/curious by the Pirate story...don't get caught watching. If you felt any relief when you heard the word 'rescued', then put the little bby man in your brain in check. (blackhawk down in the 'jungle' once mo'gin'd).

The news of the brave New England Captain [us?] & the win against the (african) Indian Ocean 'Pirates' [them] must generate other ideas than 'courage'. How about 'foreigner PRETEXT' instead? No. Then we might ask questions bby won't answer. Like what exactly was the humanitarian cargo (gm-rice)? What is the root cause (vid) that these ex-fishermen are piratical? Who weaponized them? What resources are at stake (land & sea)? Does this general global excitement (hype) legitimize different new military & political foreign inroads to Africa? What will involve the legal processing of the last ‘pirate’? (...the sole alive was a 16 year old boy). Are there African pirates in Indian Oceans breaking American laws?

Criminal or Terrorist? Idren, in the very near future, you are about to be excited'd by Obama’s first state visit to Africa, the land of his father. You are also about to be hyp-ed by some other event terror-crime to occur in west africa (nigeria delta? ghana? liberia?). Please don't believe it, we must stop being force-fed camels as we strain our wine for gnats (so to speak). Try to remember only two words: PRETEXT & AFRICOM.
