America can’t spell USA

America can’t spell USA

by Matt Bright

America, you are a lot. This is usually the time of year where we are planning our holiday shopping for some reason like Christmas is two days away from Halloween.   

Instead it feels like this entire White House Administration is the steroid shot to racism, white supremacy, and bigotry. Fox News, Alex Jones, and Breitbart giving dosages of ignorance and the constant refill prescription from Ben Shapiro, Tomi Lauren, and Tucker Carlson of cognitive dissonance. 

American citizens of color are having their rights either trampled or overall denied. Charlottesville, Las Vegas, and now New York are all very tragic and received different responses that we all need to ingest and see as the covert racism it is. 

Charlottesville we had to wait for a response to get all the facts, three days for that shit. Finally giving us a “very fine people” or that blame was on both sides. That Nazis and White Supremacists deserve a voice in our democracy and then coining the idiot phrase “alt-left.” 

You waited for the facts on this? The facts led you to the conclusion that violence is wrong. Anyone with a brain knows that. Secondly, this is the same person who wishes for the “good ole days” where they could “knock’em out.” 
How about the police convention where he encouraged officers to not protect their heads when they put them in the squad. You literally said you grab women by their crotch but now after a white supremacist plows into a crowd killing one and injuring multiple others you #AllLivesMatter violence by saying: "it’s all bad." You’d drown in hypocrisy if you weren’t unfortunately the racist uncle that got elected President. 


Las Vegas he was damn near silent with no real solutions. Then New York happens and the whole system has to be up ended, the same day. The Las Vegas shooter was a millionaire old white guy who killed 50 plus and injured 600 more at a country music festival. America, we have finally found something more important than white people.

Guns. 

President called NFL players son’s of bitches. General John Kelly said the Civil War happened because of unwillingness to compromise like that was bad thing. This McPick two of racism with a side of revisionist sauce is just the type of malnutrition Trump supporters eat for lunch, breakfast, and #WhiteLivesMatter rallies.

Black Identity Extremists, a new distinction by the FBI to group together black nationalists and separatists as a movement. The words “Black Identity” together says that it is literally extreme to identify as Black in America. Such a broad generalization puts Black Lives Matter Groups that peacefully protest will be thrown under this dumb umbrella of bullshit by the public. 

A young woman at a college (Stanford University) is defiled, harassed, and downright disrespected by her roommate, and that story in detail is gruesome. The roommate referred to her on Instagram as The Jamaican Barbie. Another student at K-State (Kansas State) University was also a victim of racial intimidation when students vandalized his car with “Go Home Nigger Boy.” (Turns out this student made this up and has since apologized. He'll be held accountable for this, but when white folks do black face, it's all in good fun.)

College campuses these days are the breeding ground for racists and where progressive ideas go to die. After Richard Spencer was clearly caught on video giving Nazi salutes and sieg heiling Donald Trump like the new Führer, campuses are like: Let’s see what else he has to say, let’s here all the viewpoints. We can not view Nazi and white supremacy positions as viable paths to unity and progression. I don’t see anyone in America giving a platform to The Monarch Party of America, or The Neo-Colonialists Party. (Yes that’s dumb, but so is giving a Dick a stage to spout messaging from the 1930’s in 2017.)

His speech is weaponized, it’s not an open discussion about why white supremacy is good or bad. It’s a reinforcement and recruitment tool, especially since these are not paid engagements and the universities don’t even want him on campus. 

In Tennessee there was a #WhiteLivesMatter Rally that ended with a Mob terrorizing and fighting an interracial couple. That rally was racist as shit by the way. 
No one was chanting “Bring Back Friends. Bring back Friends.” Or “Whose bucks? Starbucks!..Who’s Bucks?...Starbucks!” 

It was the same people from Charlottesville just different branding at this “rally.” 
This is like chicken tenders at McDonald’s. Those are still chicken strips McDonald’s! You learned a new word (Buttermilk) and put them in a fancy box, fed it to the public as new and better, but it’s the same shit.

Just. Like. Racism. 

This is just in the last few weeks and there’s more. People still seem to think racism is made up, that we’re just buying into the narrative of mainstream media, which at its core is racist as it gives the notion that black and brown audiences do not know how to identify racism or that they are being outsmarted. 

That black and brown audiences do not have the mental capacity to see that news media is just fueling a race war and wants to divide us, meanwhile the entire White House Administration can’t seem to identify the bad guys in these riots and displays of intimidation but the White Supremacists and Nazis of this nation go unchecked, Get respected media presence, and are giving a seat at the table to hear their grievances with the country that will take it back to the 1800’s, but hey Marcus and Myeshia you’re just playing into the hand of the powers that be. 

Reclaiming my time, this is why we kneel, and I’m voting for everybody black. 


2017 sums up like this: No Hoods required.

We love this country why don't you?


By Matthew Bright


It's 2017 and we are a part of a social climate that claims black and brown people do not know what it means to fight for their freedom. 
When you're exercising a freedom, then to be told you're not doing it right is like being an actor your whole life then your President of the USA, your bound to fuck shit up. When you're told to respect the flag first before your freedom regularly, As a barometer for what makes you more American. 
It turns respect into a term for false nationalism and repugnant patriotism. It comes before being a truly free American of any political class or social standing in our country. It makes me ask, we love this country but why don't you? 

We're like a broken car with a noise and know what the problem is, but we're going to just ride it until the engine blows cause it still gets me to the noon kickoff on Sunday. 

In this country we continue to keep telling black and brown communities they don't understand what it means to fight for freedom. When the very soldiers you speak of are also black and brown as well as white. When the lineage of black and brown American citizens is fighting for FREEDOM from actual slavery. 

You're just trying to deal with what you equate to as annoyance, which is incredibly misinformed and utterly out of touch. 

People from the Civil Rights era still exist to this day and some serve in Congress and find the state of our nation in dire circumstances. While people forget the infamous quote "Segregation now, Segregation forever." There are people alive who remember this. Racism is not a distant memory, it just has a mortality rate of a sea turtle, like 400 sea turtles. 

History shows us that the enslaved communities of America learned how to fight for freedom and up to this point those strategies have worked and continue to make headway. We want more strides and with that desire comes resistance (of the supremacist ilk.) 

I don't want to get into detail (again), about the black and brown people being shot unarmed by law enforcement (again). The predatory practices of law enforcement giving more fines and tickets to people that are black and brown (see Ferguson Missouri findings of justice department case and many others like it) again. 

I shouldn't have to. There's no counterpoint needed. If you bring up that white people die by police too, then let's address that as well. No one is trying to exclude white people. We can't. They're everywhere. They literally make up the majority of the population. No one should be trying to win the "Who gets killed by police more" award. 

To demand that they stand for the flag, to have a president that also demands it, is by definition, fascist. 

Somehow this Millionaire entertainer reality show star President gets the country but millionaire athletes whom engage in political activism don't. 
I'm just saying if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's probably lacking self awareness that it's a duck. (Duck means racist.)

Overhauling a law enforcement system would benefit us all, right now it's costing, at a much higher rate, black and brown citizens of this country. It's why we're the loudest about the systemic problems. This is why we chose to be on the frontline of a very real issue. I would like to digress and take a second to address this buzz phrase: "perceived oppression." What the hell is that? We're not making up oppressors to make whiteness the villain for our demise. That's in their playbook, remember Emmett Till's accuser came forth and said she made it up. Perceived Oppression is your definition, what is used by those who don't even understand struggle let alone experienced it. Even then, quick to believe the bullshit. The more things change, the more things stay the same. Digression over. 

Implying we don't love this country because of silent non-violent protests but in the same breath make an argument for Nazis and White supremacists "freedom of speech" and protecting their rights. Who wouldn't wave a USA Flag if their lives depended upon it. The Leagues with majority people of color decide to (finally) take a stand (oh wait, not you Ray Lewis. You can have several seats.) against the very things that plague the communities they came from and give back are told "stick to sports." Treating them less than human it's what you're use to doing. 

NASCAR issued a statement they assumed would excite their fan base, to be honest it probably did, but when the Golden Boy of NASCAR and super fan of Ricky Bobby, Dale Earnhardt spoke out against this very statement in a tweet, I'm sure he'll be untouched. NASCAR will make excuses for him, his fans will say "that's how you protest." 

We will all be screaming after nothing happens to him and he is applauded for his bravery: 

ITS BECAUSE HE'S WHITE. THAT'S A WHITE THING. 

Amongst all this the reason for Kaeptain America's protest is being lost, black and brown people's plights are being washed up in the media storm of what is more important, a piece of cloth or an entire group of citizens protesting flagrant injustice, tonight on CNN. That conversation is nothing new to us, it's status quo. It's exhausting, but we fight on. 

Let's not forget the "why" they are kneeling and boycotting. We love this country, it's ideals, and we want to see them actualized. We really do love this country. A lot of us are worried that people in opposition of racial equality, dealing with police brutality, and killings of unarmed citizens do not have any love for our country, what are democracy strives to stand for, but also that they don't love themselves. 

My hope one day is you find love for your fellow citizens that make your country, that made your country, before love for your country.

Trumps Takeaway: I love Wall

The Orange, The King, and The Weapons Deal
by Matthew Bright

Trump travelled across the world and landed in cognitive dissonance

He met with Saudi Arabian King to open an anti-extremist center.

In Saudi Arabia. That's right, people directly responsible for most of Americas past and current turmoil opened a center about anti-extremism. 

A center to combat extremist ideology. They have churches already. They have scientific journals about it. Only two megalomaniacs would think opening one building in a country suppressing women harder than republicans would do this. Or forty I don't know. 

Yet here we are, old dudes proclaiming to fight the idea of terror. Like kids playing in a backyard taking on the spaceships in the sky right before lunch. 

They put all their hands on that mind melding orb, or globe. Whatever, this is only phase one of Project Desert Cheeto. 

Saudi Press Agency
After that incredibly dark and ominous photo you know they waited for the return of The Dark One. He just stood around aimlessly like: You promised us we'd see him. I came all the way from D.C. I literally dragged  Melania here, it was great. She was in the 24k bathroom, the best bathroom, hiding behind Ivanka who looked great. You told me to just touch this light bulb and he'd show. Just believe a little harder next time Donny. 

He also went to Israel to become the first sitting President to visit the Western Wall. To anyone that's not watching the 700 club 24/7 that headline reads: First sitting President to admire Wall. He loves wall. Great, America Elected the Orange version of Brick Tamblin. 

Government Cheese ( It's what I call #45) didn't just come to resurrect the Bringer of Death, he came with a tank full of cash to give to the Saudi Arabian King for...tanks. 110 billion dollars for arms on the same day you open a center against extremism. 
If you missed the irony, well the air in the land of cognitive dissonance is pretty thick.

Get out while you still can.

Government Cheese and The Civil War

By Matthew Bright

We're in a pickle. The pickle we're in leaves us in a state of having to address most of the words coming out of Government Cheese's mouth. (Look I'm not calling him Cheeto or Dorito anymore, I'm tired of insulting snacks that are delicious. They're better than that.)
Government Cheese
Recently claiming Andrew Jackson could of stopped The Civil War from happening. Why'd The Civil War even happen in the first place he asks. 
There's so many things in this, but ultimately let's hit on the most glaring. 

Andrew Jackson could of stopped the Civil War? As if the country didn't need it? Government Cheese are you saying the very freedom fought for, didn't need to be fought for? That the millions enslaved and slaughtered shouldn't have caused such a fuss about being treated like less than farm animals. Why fight for your freedom? There's two things here:

  1. Government Cheese has no clue what slavery is.
  2. Government Cheese knows exactly what it is.

That's the reason it happened guy, SLAVERY. If Andrew Jackson were even alive his body of work would lead to a Trail of Tears. He was a slave-owning genocidal maniac who voted his friends and political allies into government and abused their power. He only happens to be missing one distinction to be Andrew Jackson 2.0, he currently stands at Andrew Jackson 1.5. 

Government Cheese is saying these things in less than a year on the job. He's spelling this out in his Alpha-Bit Cereal but he's not using any colored marshmallow pieces so it just says "Brng Bck Slvry" also because he can't spell. 

Andrew Jackson most likely would have aligned with the Confederacy, which would make him something President Cheez-Wiz (That works to, Cheez-Wiz is the worst. #FightMe) hates more than The White House Correspondents Dinner is losers. 

This will be normal compared to what is in the future of Government Cheese. 
Future questions will be:

"Why'd we even have a voting rights act?"

"Why did women suffrage even happen? For what?" 

"Why'd the Civil War even happen?" (He loves to repeat himself)


He's trying to Brand Andrew Jackson like he's the most interesting man in the world. 

Andy be like: "I don't always own slaves but when I do, I prefer plantations."

It's best he wasn't around and that he's dead. 

Maybe I should spell this out in a way Government Cheese will understand.

"STP BNG RCST." 

The Civil War happened because people who think like you, want to stop people who look like me from being, people.

John Lewis & Donald Trump All Talk

Words Have Weight

By Matthew Bright

Congressman John Lewis boldly made a claim that has everyone thinking. "I don't not see Donald Trump as a legitimate President."
Which of course led to a Twitter punch from President D.T. saying this:




Alright, let's take a look at John Lewis's District, according to Pulitzer Prize winning website Politifact.com the claim is mostly false.

Now, it does seem outrageous that he would call the President illegitimate right? I mean who would ever question a President's legitimacy?

Donald Trump, on Twitter at least 16 times, according to this collection of Tweets Slate.com found questioning Former President Barack Obama's citizenship also known as "The Birther Tweets."

John Lewis on the far right marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 
Birther Tweets, it's sound more like eggs that hatched Twitter. Donald Trump goes on to say Congressmen Lewis is all talk. Now to be fair, he's a politician so he's certainly some portion of talk or even a healthy slice of talk, but all talk would be pretty hard to show on a pie chart of John Lewis with all that Civil Rights activism, Selma March, and  Sit-in on the the House Floor taking up space not to mention these five amazing things reported by heavy.com


John Lewis is a civil rights icon and a living piece of history. So Mr. President even if he is all talk, his words have weight and they might have just fell on you. You just can't handle the pressure.
