“Negroz ain’t known for checkin’ facts
Like Clinton’s sax, and other acts”
Long Dong Silver Laid the Foundation for Drone Man
by Raymond Nat Turner
Long Dong Silver and Miss Anita Hill—
Before Ms. Monica and Massa Bill…
Jerry Springer show, plus Dr. Phil
Playin’ the “race card” with sick skill!
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
The capitalists came, no-holds-barred
With weak politics smellin’ stockyard
Playing Negroz with their “race card”
Imbedded with sons of Beauregard:
Strom, Jesse, Mc Connell, McCain—
Til’ Clinton came feeling their pain!
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
The rulers came, pulling out all the stops
Flooding Black barber and beauty shops
With their tattered, shop-worn thin game—
Their battle-tested tricks of skin game…
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”
Negroz ain’t known for checkin’ facts
Like Clinton’s sax, and other acts,
Negroz keep actin’ politically insane—
Perfect patsies for Drone Man’s reign…
Long Dong laid the basis for Drone Man,
No “hi-tech lynching,” no “Yes, we can!”

Assata Shakur wrote the introduction and this poem for the 1990 book Hauling Up the Morning: writings & art by political prisoners and prisoners of war in the U.S.
They called Assata Shakur a fugitive; we claim her as a compass. Her work and her words will continue to chart the path toward our liberation.
The empire has a new plan for Haiti, a return to military occupation dressed up as humanitarianism. Like past occupations, it will only increase the suffering of Haiti's people.
While Gaza burns, a collaborationist class is being handed the keys to a prison and calling it a state, all in service to western imperialism.
Western nations complicit in occupation and genocide offer a fig leaf of sovereignty by recognizing a Palestinian state that in reality would still be occupied.
