RESISTANCE Is When I Put A Stop To It\" width=\"172\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>This poem is a tribute to recent events leading to the taking down of the confederate flag at several southern state capitols.\u00a0 Special props go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/06\/30\/bree-newsome-speaks-out_n_7698598.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bree Newsome<\/a> who unequivocally demonstrated direct democracy by taking down the confederate flag on the South Carolina statehouse grounds in the aftermath of the racist Charleston massacre.<\/p>\n<p>Sad as it is to still be fighting the civil war 150 years after its official end, the tide is turning.\u00a0 While a flag may only be symbolic, flags are powerful landmarks in American culture.\u00a0 Around the world, the American flag represents a nationalism tainted by an imperialism exceeding that of the Roman Empire, waging perpetual war on people of color, non-Christians, and anyone else who resides in the way of national economic interest, such as living in an oil-rich region.\u00a0 Domestically, the &#8220;rebel&#8221; flag of the confederacy has held its place for generations as a racist symbol from a failed treason in trying to form a slavery-filled nation-state.<\/p>\n<p><a

Achievements Is Being White, That Says A Lot About What You Have Done With Your Life\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>White privilege, and its sister, white denial, are alive and, well, dominate the American landscape.\u00a0 Like water to fish, most whites most of the time don&#8217;t see it.\u00a0 Institutional racism is the elephant in the room of America that few dare speak of openly and publicly.\u00a0 Beside degrading the lives and humanity of African-Americans, their positive culture and creativity are regularly appropriated for the profit of mainstream &#8212; read &#8220;white&#8221; &#8212; America.\u00a0 The confederate flag has been one of the most persistent and visible signs of continuing white dominance and supremacy.\u00a0 To get confederate flags out of public places is mind-bogglingly and heart-breakingly overdue, and this process will hopefully mightily speed dialogue and awareness of the perniciousness of racism.<\/p>\n<p><a

Fiction That A Person Is Property - CORPORATE PERSONHOOD Is The Legal Fiction That Property Is A Person\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>Racism is one of many forms of dominance that continue to plague humanity.\u00a0 Today, corporate personhood is trumping the legal rights of actual persons.\u00a0 The legal fiction of a person being property, known as slavery, may be formally over, but the legal fiction of property as a person, a corporate person with constitutional rights on par with actual persons, is running roughshod over America and the globe.\u00a0 Corporate personhood is eroding, perhaps even already stolen, democracy as typically conceived in America.\u00a0 Wage slavery and corporate rule are the weapons of choice these days to enslave the body politic.\u00a0 Getting money out of politics may dry-dock the fishiest elements of political elites.\u00a0 Our lives and the future of humanity may very well depend on it.\u00a0 People will only fare better than money when we value people &#8212; all people &#8212; more than money.\u00a0 May it be so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He had enough Privilege To ignore The
