You don't really want to talk about terrorism, do you?
By Timothy Franklin
It's amazing, a Political Party that's founded, encourages and promotes itself on race hatred told white Americans to be frightened by foreign terrorism and millions responded to the call.
::::::::
Even in cowardly fear Americans choose to be racist, ISIL scares the "reason" out of many Americans.
ISIL/ ISIS had no operational role in the San Bernardino shootings or any terrorist attack on American soil that has taken the life of any Americans.
Terrorism has never mattered when the terrorists are White American Born and they are raping and killing Black women and children and bombing and burning down Black Churches. There hasn't been a terrorist act in the history of humankind that has not been visited upon Black Americans by an America that now claims to be frightened by terrorists.
It's amazing, a Political Party that's founded, encourages and promotes itself on race hatred told white Americans to be frightened by foreign terrorism and millions responded to the call.
We (Black People) cannot allow this country to have a conversation about terrorism and ignore the centuries of blood from terrorism this country condoned through their silence or participation.
