If there’s one thing Black children don’t need, it’s a Role Model like this one.
Role Model… Or, Fast Food For Thought?
by Raymond Nat Turner
He orders
Take out
Tuesdays, and
Justice is served
On shards of glass,
Pulverized cement and
A bloody batter of
Blackened brains
Over filet of female
Infants—their eggs
Delicacies for the caviar
Cayman Island crowd!
Question: should grandsons
Cam and B, seven and nine,
Aspire to such heights?

"What would Glen Ford say?" That question is one which we often ask ourselves two years after his passing.
For the past 30 years, no matter which party has been in power, the US economy has produced more and more “bad” jobs – because the Race to the Bottom is ruling class policy.
It is true now just as when Glen Ford wrote these words in 2019. In any alliance with corporate oppression and militarism, Black America squanders reservoirs of respect among the Earth’s peoples.…
The U.S. has used its influence to steal another country’s oil revenues. Venezuela is in the crosshairs because it dares to be socialist in the hemisphere the U.S. claims as it’s “backyard.”
The late Glen Ford would probably refer to events in Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and elsewhere as the “blowback” from France’s colonial past.
