Haitian history and western hypocrisy

Books mentioned in the podcast:

Harsha Walia - Border & Rule 

Smedley D. Butler - War is a Racket

Can’t stop

Racing thoughts

The audacity

Racist cops

They get away scot-free

Seven shots

The man can’t breathe

I can’t watch another cop walk

No shame in their genocide

called exceptional

over 400 years

So yes, it’s intentional

junk science

Manifest destiny

Land and Resources

for those with less melanin

Under the guise of religion

supposedly ordained by the Lord

Disguised as a sword

the lies

the broken treaties

the massacres

Pequot

Sand creek

Wounded knee

the Cold war

Proxy

Excuse to kill People of Color

Label the indigenous Guerillas

They round them up

and drain the water from the Fish

Who trained them?

Who gave them the weapons?

Kill the Indian

Save the man,

Residential schools

The evil

They were just children

Ripped from their families

And look what you did to them

Parents that tried to fight

Were arrested by your LAW

On Sedition

The football team removed the mascot

But Peltier is still in prison

Stolen lives

Stolen dreams

In chains

Across the Sea

No respect for nothing

Not their names, or beliefs

Or tears from broken families

Sold down river

the trauma

Torture

Mutilation

Exploitation

Fake emancipation

Convict Leasing

You set them up and sold them out with reconstruction

sharecropping

lynchings

Jim crow

black codes

Angola

Parchman Prison

Bombingham

the Redlining

what your hate did to Emmett Till

also killed Medgar and was complicit in Malcolm’s death

And you even killed their King

And continued family separation

Attica

Sing Sing

The members of their vanguard

Are now elders behind bars

Free Russell Maroon Shoatz, Jamil Al-Amin

And Mumia Abu Jamal!

Free all the Political Prisoners!

And CHILDREN behind bars, worldwide!
