More than ever before in history, Melanin Rich People have an obligation to protect Global Melanin. Atrocities are being played out throughout the world, mostly inspired by historical global racism and remnants of colonialism, is working to destroy Melaninated people in the worst possible ways.
Melaninated people are being used to protect foreign interest; therefore, some members of our African family are without compassion when it comes to destroying other Melaninated people. The predators that are promoting this kind of Melanin on Melanin violent insanity must be exposed, held accountable, and severely punished for their horrendous inhumane acts of genocide.
Because of White Power structural and White Racism, we are losing Melaninated people by the thousands in countries throughout the world. This is specifically true in African states such as: Nigeria, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire, Angola, Mali and most importantly South Africa.

African’s Revolutions For Human and Economic Justice Will Most Likely Be Televised.
Europeans came to South Africa to work for the Dutch East India Company, as farmers and merchants escaping from religious persecution. In the quest to settle on supple land, they realized how resourceful and communal the indigenous were. As an outsider, incapable of adapting to these cultures, they chose to use excessive force and brutal intimidation to steal the indigenous/aborigines’ lands and their natural resources. From 1948 until its abolition in the early 1990s, the world community witnessed, in silence and without remorse, years of hardship, suffering, and humiliation committed by the wicked South African apartheid regime and its foreign supporters against the South Africa’s original Black Population.
In 1994 when a coalition of majority Black and minority white government leaders officially ended the apartheid system, false promises of equality and peace surfaced in South Africa. As leadership was transitioning, it was discovered that a major failure of the African National Congress (ANC) was the acceptance of the dreaded “Truth & Reconciliation Commission”.
The so-called South African’s Truth & Reconciliation Commission (TCR) was a deceitful enterprise. The TRC was supported by several Western governments; the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. These entities helped create and sustain the racial dictatorship that came to be known as Apartheid. This same group of thieves persuaded the ANC leadership to place the interests of international financial investors above the needs of their own citizens. More importantly, they were also persuaded them to abandon their “Freedom Charter” that called for redistribution of South Africa’s wealth.

Americans are at a critical juncture in the history of this nation. Politically speaking, at this very moment, important intelligence data is being shared with the presidential candidates of both major parties. More specifically, providing intelligence briefings to with the major party candidates is a historical practice at this junction in the race for the U.S. Presidency.
Concerns about sharing intelligence with the two major party candidates have been heightening because both have exhibited significant flows that bring into question their overall judgment. However, the Republican candidate has been proven to be a pathological liar that have unapologetically drained the life out of the truth.
He stands before the domestic and global public and lies straight into the camera’s lens. His glowing ignorant of facts and his discussing rhetoric that lacks sincerity or meaningful content is immediately transmit around the world. At times, the Republican presidential candidate’s sheer sanity has been questioned; therefore, he is far too dangerously close to immense power.

Dangerously Close To Power
Prior to the November 8, 2016 presidential election, every American must ask themselves, does the Republican Party, presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump, have the intelligence, temperament, humanity, and most importantly the morality, be president of the United States of America! From the very beginning of his campaign, Donald Trump have received widespread un-earned free media coverage that ferried him to the top of the Republican ticket.
Mainstream media outlets have provided Trump with a platform to deliver a narrative of hate, bigotry, arrogant and overt racism. For this reason, this will be my last post regarding Trump’s junk.
As I stated before, by now it is common knowledge that Donald Trump is not fit for the presidency of the United States of America and his performance at the Republican convention gave us all full disclosure. To truly understand the mind-set of Donald Trump, you must pay very close attention the text (words)in his Tweets, speeches and comments and not his antics nor his twisted mouth.
Donald J. Trump has also proven to be an equal opportunity insulter by his brazen disrespect to his Democratic enemies and being a Frenemy to his so-called Republicans Friends. It is unquestionable that 99% of his followers don’t’ have anything in common with him. They must accept the fact that they are being used. Trump loves Trump and anyone else that allows him to use and abuse them. Continue reading Dangerously Close To Power
