I must admit that after seeing what happened in the Tennessee legislature, I’m even more convinced that we are living in a confederate, racist, white male-dominated ego maniacal society, especially in the south. For example did yall know that Mississippi is trying to pass a law that will bring back the Jim Crow laws. HB 1020. That’s neither here nor there, just thought you might like to know about these things. Just to let you know what the good ole boys are up to in 2023.
They just expelled 2 brothers from the house for not following a minor house rule, which is to ask the speaker can they step to the podium and speak, at least this is what they said, but I’m reminded of the fact that in the Jim Crow days black people were not allowed to speak unless, they were spoken to and they definitely couldn’t learn how to read. When you listen to these two highly intelligent men speak so eloquently and who are erudite. You can clearly see why.
WE ALL KNOW IT’S RACISM!
WE ALL KNOW IT’S ABOUT GOING UP AGAINST THE STATUS QUO AND THE NRA.
WE ALL KNOW THAT IT’S ABOUT AGEISM!
But what a lot of us probably haven’t realized is, are these the only reasons? Well in my sanctified imagination, the Holy Spirit spoke to me.
As I was listening to those brothers who were representing for the people and who was chosen by the people. I figured out that the real reason they were expelled was because of the threat that they bring to the table, and the fact that the white racist republican couldn’t quite understand what exactly they were saying, because they lacked equal intelligence. So therefore, they had no comeback. They were a threat to their so-called democracy. These Representatives were knowledgeable, concise, well-read, wise, and truthful. They answered those questions with so much vigor that at one point the republicans went and sat down and had to go to their colleagues to get some help.
I would say there is another reason those brothers were expelled and that’s because the older black democrats were there standing by their side, teaching them, supporting them, and guiding them, taking notes; to remind them of what was said.
Yall know what my saying is:
UNITY IS THE WHITE MANS KRYPTONITE. Especially in regards to black people sticking together. There is another reason that’s even more problematic for those racist Neo-Klansmen members without the sheets, and that is those brothers reminded them of another highly intelligent man who later became president. Barack Husein Obama. Don’t think they didn’t see that in these young black men.
As a matter of fact, I think they were reminded of a couple of other brothers. Martin Luther King Jr, and Malcolm X. Two very passionate, gifted, prolific speakers, who could make people listen, while talking about resources. We all should know by now that, whenever you start talking about money and making sure that everybody, especially black and poor, get those same resources your ASS got to go.
They were just waiting for a time such as this. Both representatives, as well as some of their colleagues, pointed out a time when rules were broken with no consequences. Can we say white privilege. As of right now today in their house of representatives, is a child molester, a domestic abuser, a cheater, a thief, and a lie, OH MY.
YET NONE OF THEM WERE EXPELLED!!!
So, when you say they broke the house rule, like slaves, there are consequences. Lynchings and beatings. They are literally saying stay in yo place BOY. They claim to be Christians, but I have yet to see the evidence of that. They say they follow the bible, but only the part that say, slaves obey your master. Even during Jesus week, even in the week of Martin Luther King Jr assassination, even when 6 beautiful souls were cut down like dogs, they still found time to be prejudicial, racist, fascist, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, and cold, so much so; they even dismissed their own house rule. The house rule is to censure them not expel them. Even though they had no legal justification. While people were literally screaming and laying on the floor of the rotunda of the building outside the courtroom, like dead people. It didn’t matter to the republicans they just stood up and walked out like it was just another day at the office. Why? Because they see black people as only ¾ human. What I would like to know is where do they think the other ¼ is?
I would like to think that the other ¼ is with our Lord Jesus Christ. Who has been with us since slavery.
So just like Jesus got up on Sunday, I believe and have faith that we will someday as a black people get to the promised land, because God is always with us. He is Emmanuel. He speaks:
“FOR THE LEAST, THE LAST, AND THE LOST”.
(Quote from Representative).
District 85 is over 70% black
District 86 is over 60% black
Both together is 120 thousand BLACK people not being represented.
