Out of though I'm not buying it I will concede the trip is definitely evil but that's been making the rounds a long time now and the sooner. The Bush dynasty was nothing if not he and so were Bill with Hillary Clinton. Christian Bale a city in Award for starring role in the movie vice fête say forces for ration on how to play the role of Dick Cheney arguably what's uniquely evil here is not Donald John Trump it's the centuries old us ruling class is hard to find much of anything unique about Trump beyond his balls to the wall vulgar a he. I know it's a low bar because before you came to office the u.s. Already had fleets of every ocean head troops in about 120 or more Huntress but uniquely evil Trump has not found any new countries to invade or bomb the we has this attitude of the Us Space Force presumably to bomb other planets but he doesn't give extra evil points for that because it's merely aspirational something he would do if only he could The truth is the Trump is only marginally worse than other Republicans and Democrats Obama extended u.s. Special operations troops and drone bases to every nation on the African continent that he says Zimbabwe and Eritrea abroad want to see the banks as hundreds of thousands of black mortgage holders were evicted something a Republican president could never get away with Bill Clinton jet the black prison population of 2 all time high of 1000000 neverless we hear a lot of share from people like our less to shreds d.s.a. About how Trump was so bad so evil when so awful that absolutely any Democrat would be better for the good of the planted and his flesh of the for the good of the people of the very bottom of North America's economic and social pyramid those the argument goes are real people and we old villain of vote for any Democrat because they just cannot afford to be hurt any more than they're already being heard. Therefore the argument holds that poor people building a 3rd. Party their own party was their own votes their own labor and find this by their own membership dues like who are people doing every other nation on this fled it is a bad idea something going to the poor and oppressed here cannot and should not even try after all the Baradei since portion of such an ear for a loan would take a 1000000 signatures and months the Democratic Party electing a Republican to the presidency it's hard to miss the leaking reeking Reeses image cresses them of this nonsensical proposition are poor people smart enough to make their own choices not just for this year but for years ahead if that's what it takes the old heads like Charles Hamilton Houston were not afraid to met on a strategy for tackling Jim Crow that took decades why was this wise for these last rule graduates but unwise for poor people today. The list would never become a mass phenomenon in this country until it finds and raises its own voices and forms its own independent political horridly despite who are for insidiously tell us and some of each other that would not happen inside either one of the billionaires parties and it would be funded by the people who fund those parties. For black agenda radio commentaries on Bush Texas. Will not do it because. My. Last name. Davey d. Hard doc radio hanging out with you this afternoon over the weekend many of us were shocked to learn that we lost a giant somebody who was frequently heard on our airwaves with his commentaries and with interview was politically insightful unapologetic in terms of his politics very principled his name was Bruce a Dixon you know him from The Black Agenda Report before that he was with Black Commentator and community organizer somebody who was a member of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party just a giant of a man a giant of a journalist and somebody who will be missed I wanted to talk to somebody who worked with him he's a giant in his own right Professor freedom fighter also a journalist his name is Jared Ball Jared Welcome to the show and you know Bruce Dixon we wanted to give him his tribute and give him some props. How you feeling with his passing I think it caught a lot of people off guard. Well 1st of all it's always going to be back on when you when are not radio fortunate that some of the circumstances but I mean I knew Bruce . You know as a comrade in the struggle I worked with him at Black Agenda Report from about 2006 to 2012 I worked with Bruce also within the Green Party. Remain somewhat in touch with him here and there you know ever since. And I always counted him among my mentors and found him to be one of the most as you said principled actors in the struggle that we would encounter and it's unfortunate that for many who are not themselves involved directly in grassroots social movements political struggle they might not have ever heard of Bruce Dixon and the many women and men like him who. Were happy. To some you know sort of some press their own personalities and individual goals or interests to work hard for the people put their head down and did real grassroots work I mean Bruce was the epitome of grassroots door to door community organizing from his time in Chicago Illinois in the Black Panther Party to his time in Georgia as a voting activists and organizer within the Green Party and obviously his journalism reflected that kind of grassroots approach and appeal and what many of our I think have already said and will continue to say and that I appreciate more as I get older and see you know more how many of us move within the struggles Bruce was willing to not only as you said stand strong on his principle and his ideas but here you would disagree with you and lovingly debate you and it didn't have to degenerate into you know hostility and warfare while at the same time if you crossed the black agenda is popularly known for saying certain bright line political issues noose would intellectually cut you and leave you there meeting in the streets so to speak. You know when we say principled what I leave understood about Bruce is that he had. A clear understanding of liberation he had a clear understanding of political agendas and he stuck with them. If it meant that there was a critique on capitalism if capitalism was in the mix he was going to call it out if he had a critique on. On you know the way that people were to be engaged if they were engaged wrongly he would call of out you all working in the Green Party you know what made Bruce really principled for you you know and I'm asking putting on a hat that you yourself are pretty principled as well but how would you describe that principality with Bruce Dixon. Well I mean 1st of all we have to always remember that knowledge and I think it's especially important to disdain time in these political moments that. It here to be the. Politics of Marxism Leninism that came out of the Black Panther Party and that's where he is race and class analysis was born from and that's where he more or less. Distilled is that actions and determine who's moved. So whether it was within the Green Party or whether it's journalism of the Black Panther Party or any other formation that he was a supporter of it was with that sort of understanding of the world that sort of scientific and a little outlook that he approached the world as a mechanism for moving his 1st black community and then his working class and similarly oppressed colonise comrades around the world so Bruce all the Green Party I mean you know him me you know who it is you know and others who you know the few who know me know you know. You know sometimes easy to bump eggs with and Bruce and I disagreed often on certain tactics or so you know ideas about how to move or what to do or what to support and neither of us are ever you know shy about standing on what we felt were our politics and principles but part of that meant that we understood each other's comrades and it again never degenerated into something hostile or name calling 'd 'd or something that you know permanently you know Taurus apart I wouldn't I don't claim to you know be in his inner circle and that close I mean we certainly never had a falling out that you know when we said we're not going to deal with each other any more so it was just it was just always in that way that and you know when you saw him look at the Green Party and those who really took the story through the inner workings what happens within the Green Party but it's happened in the Green Party what is happening with the Green Party we know that that. Stood strong on his principle not to critique the party publicly even when he was self and I'll say it for a minute you know I don't need to be as. Minded as he was but when the party mistreated him he didn't say a word the party took advantage of him I think I think this is just me speaking for me this is not me his words or anything like that when I think them departing to give an inch of him financially and in terms of his time and commitment and energy and didn't welcome enough with enough of I think his analysis and his ideas didn't go public he didn't make you know he didn't you know turn. You know anti the party to the politics to make a point he didn't you know when he could have taken very popular crude you know stances against the more properly known leadership of the party he didn't and he wrote his statements privately and he had his conversations pride at least an unprincipled saying you know. But always within the context that this was the point was not our individual feelings our individual treatment but where we are going as a collective and what is best for. The broader struggle and you know right or wrong I mean none of us are 100 percent right right or wrong you know whether or not we always disagree I just think that. Was someone to emulate and that he was so loving in his approach that even when he disagreed with you he was so soft spoken even when he was angry it wasn't even really met many times when he would be angry with me he was as elevated as I'm speaking that was just in conversation to me he was a more or less sauce. And then I'll stop here by saying that I think it perfectly exemplified the elder as opposed to someone who just gets old and some people just get old and they don't grow they don't mature they don't play an appropriate role in guiding others and Bruce was anything but I think played the role of the elder perfect he was willing to listen offer advice to Joel condemn this message. Very inspiring most often so and I think that that kind of be a never mind his analysis and his writing or his commentary which were all I think brilliant and essential but that sort of principled approach to people who struggle is what I think we really need more of in all areas of this work you know one of the things that I got from Bruce and you know I put on my journalist had you tell me if you felt the same way that he would send you to the books if you were going to have a disagreement you know it was usually like Ok you have to come with some facts and figures and you know you know I felt like. Like times you know like you might be an academic exercise in Mumbai that I mean like you just your opinion is good but but show me some receipts you know where do you would you get this from how did you derive this analysis and so. A lot of times you know if I came with something in sort of that it that that Bruce had a different stance you know if I wanted to win today you know I was going to have to go read and research and come back with the facts and figures which you know made me sharper I think you know and I am saying and as a journalist a journalist how did you how your encounters with him or in that regard I mean no question the same way I mean you know I mean some people could attribute it to you know some might prefer to attribute it to the study you know the science of dialectics in the marches when it's tradition in the back of the party you know and that's probably very true and involved but but I was just thinking about it more simply in that you know it's just like anything that we would hear whether we're talking on the corner and or anywhere else somebody says something you date I say you know so I heard this one of the 1st things you would just say in conversation would be well where did you get that from you know how do you know who said Who told you that and then you would start with says that person. As a as a source with you know in terms never Lydian Bruce's much the same way I mean you know he was I think correct in putting his political biases on the table he was certainly not trying to be you know falsely objective or so-called professional western journalist which I think should never be the goal and did what you're supposed to do it was journalism was meant to be supplemented liberation struggle but within that it's understood that that doesn't just mean you write or say anything you beans that you do you base it on a certain politics and study and analysis but then you supplement that with further study and research and sourcing and that of course is what journalism is just supposed to be at least in that that aspect of it and the more that you admit your bias the more honest you are the more that your meter or missionary can assess. The value of your work and that's what brings did it not and I think that that. I mean again I just think you know Black Agenda Report. Or whatever anyone thinks of it and many people have struggled with it and many people have been uncomfortable with some of their their critiques in positions but I think it plays an essential role and they may say very clearly that they're the voice of the black left and what they need by left is not liberal Democratic Party politics Marxist Leninist traditions anti colonial India Imperial politics. And they're journalism is based you know it is performing their base is no different than the mainstream commercial present United States in the western world is based on the pro-capitalist role Imperial European Euro centric analysis in world view they don't do it it. Just ragged I'm sorry for the long answer just it just just cool but I think that is the value. That Bruce represent represented and represents still is work to continue warming and has life after his own physical passing and it's something we should look to emulate that's the voice of Professor Jared Ball If you're just tuning in paying tribute to Bruce Dixon who passed over the weekend Bruce Dixon of the Black Agenda Report frequently heard on our airwaves but his commentary his analysis you know you mentioned. You know him working in the Green Party and you know and his his his March towards that you know we often I guess for me just rephrase that we often forget that he was a shrewd political organizer working with Bobby Rush when he 1st ran for office and you know covering a number of his precincts playing a instrumental role in trying to dismantle the Daley machine in Chicago with campaigns around on how Washington and Danny Davis and and later even with Jesse Jackson and I mention these folks you know he talks famously of politically organizing. Barack Obama one point you know world bomber had to look towards him that the other way around. But with that being said you know Bruce eventually moved in a direction where he would find themselves in stark opposition to the position that somebody people that he worked with took you know Jesse he was highly critical you know you know referring to him is the black Miss leadership class. You know Bobby Rush you know he definitely had some misgivings about some of the positions that he took when you ran you know and you you you at one point put your hat in the ring to run for president in the Green Party was Bruce a part of that you know the campaigning or anything and what did you learn from him and terms of political organizing and what could we learn from him. Bruce wasn't a direct part of my own campaign short lived as it was. But he was a supporter and even Black Agenda Report you know initially sought to add some journalistic coverage to it and encourage me behind the scenes to my effort and then later on. That I'm Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente. You know what you know but again to your point I mean this was all even the work that you describe as occurring previously this was all part of a process coming out of the oh so composed by power era watching people that Bruce also knew like Fred Hampton and Mark Karr be assassinated and seeing many others being imprisoned and then seeing the rise of political figures like Jesse Jackson where many I mean in particular that 1st campaign coming out of the liberation struggle is thought to some extent varying levels and I can't speak for Bruce on this where he was a dog but saw those campaigns as being emanations of those struggles and something worthy of support only later to realize that they were something very different and as you point out they were becoming part of the black and just leaders a class so again what I think is as important here is that Bruce was constantly attempting as I understand it to apply the politics and the analyses he had previously developed coming up in a political struggle in the Black Panther Party and was just looking for the best way in the Times in which he found himself to applaud so the Green Party again this is me speaking for him I'm not an expert in Bruges I can't you know I'm doing the best I can but my interpretation of it isn't American but here and there over the years is that Bruce was constantly looking for the best by many of us the best way to apply ideas he knows to be accurate given the circumstances of the moment and part of that meant. In those moments supporting Jesse Jackson in other moments moving on and some. Ordering more radical breaks with those intellect or political efforts especially once it was clear that big thinking the commercial and corporate interests are totally made those parties useless and as he and Grant have said repeatedly that Democratic Party is where radical and revolutionary politics go to die movements go to die so. It was just constant learning working you know the only real way to my mind you know it's always great to study and we should always read and study more but the really the best way to learn is is direct engagement with political movements that are attempting to change society that's how you figure everything out and in that process you're wind up taking it may take different forms make it different formations in a region so that alliances but it's all designed the student with Bruce and many of us that is the goal but to find a way to push the moment to more revolutionary condition so you know what to me was all perfectly consistent and logical that he would have followed the path that he followed and ended up where he ended up even as I say when we don't know we didn't always agree it still made sense that he would end up where he did it and I'm confident that he continued to live and if we continue to follow his example we could do it sort of for him to continue to find the most radical revolutionary ways to apply. You know the most. Fans does I would describe an idea to the moments we find ourselves and I think again a group of Dixon. You know perfectly simple that ethic you know he walked the walk talk to talk somebody who we missed and we're going to listen to another commentary as we close out from broomsticks and as we remember him and Jared Ball we appreciate you taking time out you know fellow journalist professor just all of it Morgan State right to live more in the state and I mix it around like that who are. That's right. We're going to take a break here on hard knock radio We'll be right back why does the u.s. Constitution guarantee a right to keep and bear arms why not the right to vote why not the right to a quality education to health care to a clean environment or to a job what was so important in early America about the rights of citizens to have guns and is it even possible to heaven hundreds discussion about gun control without acknowledging the racist origins of the 2nd Amendment the dominant trend among legal scholars and on this current Supreme Court is that we are bound by the original intent of the constitution's authors Here's what the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution says a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed clearly the authors of that passage in to guarantee the right to a good for every free white men in their new country was no longer evident 230 years later is why the answer and then by historian Edmund Morgan in his classic work American slavery American freedom the ordeal of colonial Virginia should say useful light upon the historic and current politics and self image of our nation. Colonial America and the early us was a very unequal place all the good cleared level agricultural land with easy access to transport was owned by a very few very wealthy white mid many poor whites were brought over as indentured servants but having completed their periods of forced labor allowing them to hang around the towns and cities landless and unemployed was dangerous to the social order so they were given guns in credit and sent inland to make their own fortunes by encroaching upon the orchards the farms and the hunting grounds of Native Americans who had little or no access to firearms the law of course did not penalize white men who robbed raped or killed India's and regular intervals colonial governors and local u.s. Officials would muster the free armed white men as militia and dispatched them in murderous punitive raids to make the front 2 years safer for settlers and ran speculators slavery remained legal in New England New York and the mid Atlantic region until well into the 800 s. And the movements of free blacks and Indians were severely restricted for decades afterwards so colonial and early American militia also probably rules in highways demanding the passes of all non whites to ensure that the enslaved or free blacks were not escaping or aiding those who were and that free blacks and Indians were not plotting rebellion were traveling for unapproved reasons historically then the principle activities of the founding fathers well regulated militia were Indian killing land stealing slave patrolling and the enforcement of domestic apartheid all of these. As the Constitutional language declares being quote necessary to the security of a free state unquote or free state whose fundamental building blocks were the genocide of Native Americans and the installation of Africans the constitutional sanction of universally armed white men against blacks and Indians is that the origin of what has come to be known as America's gun culture and it neatly explains why that culture remains most deeply rooted in white rural and small town America long after the end of slavery and the close of the frontier with the genocide of Native Americans accomplished and slavery gone America's gun culture wrapped itself in new clothing in self justifying myth ology the construes the 2nd Amendment as arming the citizenry as the final bulwark of freedom against tyranny invasion or crime embracing this fake history of the 2nd Amendment warps legal scholarship and public debate in clouds of willful ignorance encouraging us to believe that this is a nation founded on just any gallant Syrian principles rather than one built with stolen labor upon stolen land. Maybe that's how we can tell that we're so finally over all that nasty genocide and racism stuff we've chosen to simply write it out of our history for black agenda radio I'm pleased to find this on the web at w.w.w.

Several weeks ago as I was walking along the main meeting from the chow hall I noticed that I could no longer see a single face. By the River of men passing by.

Every time I used and I drop with steroids my vision turned milky as if someone pulled a white shade down over both eyes. I realized to my heart. That I was function of life. So I couldn't read a paper or a book or even faces. When I went to and I ducked for tests a guard who accompanied me said damage of all your blind as a bat. He said this because the test showed. I couldn't see anything letters or fingers that milkiness has sense dissipated as I've stopped using the drops yet my vision has become so poor.

With a good deal that was inflicted on 5 Harlem teenagers by a Criminal Justice and corporate media lynch mob in 1909 has come back to haunt the former lead prosecutor Linda Fairstein in the autumn of her life Eva 2 very nice magnificent Netflix series on the prosecution of the Central Park 5 and spearheaded renewed calls to publicly shun and condemn Fairstein who oversaw the real ruling and wrongful imprisonment of kids were guilty of nothing but being black in Central Park at roughly the time that a white woman was raped the one public immediately pronounced the boys guilty of Rikishi is why are holding a crime to queue year to young black men in the imaginations. White people they are seen and heard prosecutors made sure that the mob's verdict stuck and the Central Park 5 spent 6 per diem years in prison but in 2002 another man and imprison his murderer and serial rapist had needed that he was the attacker exonerating the central park 5 who were finally over warded off $41000000.00 settlement in 2014 when they were all middle aged Linda Fairstein was well rewarded for her prosecutorial z.e.o. She became a darling of the upwardly mobile white women in hind places movement Fairstein was honored as a fighter for the rights of victims in her circles it didn't seem to matter that she had victimized poor black kids and whole communities of color in pursuit of guilty verdicts and political points after the exoneration of the Central Park 5 a petition was circulated demanding that Fairstein be fired from Columbia University Law School but she still lectures there apparently Americans don't know who the bad guys are until they see them on film so until able to do very nice Netflix series at the small screen Fairstein was allowed to carve out a late life career writing crime novels and isn't that group testily poetic because the u.s. Criminal justice system indeed the whole u.s. Empire has been constructed on the great fiction of white supremacy and the black and Native American savagery the natives and the blacks have always been Wilding it is the founding doctrine of the nation and bedded in the words of the Declaration of Independence which curses England for stirring up the savage Indians and encouraging the slaves to revolt the us has been at war. For its entire existence at home and abroad and it has justified those aggressions by demonizing those it has attacked exterminated and in slaved why the Americans have created a national identity out of reach space warfare and color coded justice separated from their European roots many points would be lost without the quote of their fictitious American history full of lies about their victims and lies about themselves Linda Fairstein the prosecutor told liars for a living about captured black men and boys long before she wrote her 1st novel now she's out of favor but I'm going to privacy remains in bed reading the criminal justice system in u.s. Foreign policy and in white Americans sense of their place in the world on top and always right not guilty of anything and I'm going forward Black Agenda Report. You.
