RE: The ‘No Kings’ / ‘Impeach Trump’ Rallies

In late 2007, I experienced a profound spiritual conviction that Barack Obama would not only win the 2008 presidential election but also secure re-election.
YES WE CAN
“The United States of Georgia” was a prophetic utterance, not a “book,” per se. When the Lord God Almighty gave me the prophetic utterance at the time, I was instructed to write it down and record it because the time would come when I would need to speak about God’s actions in the affairs of humanity, and then, I would be able to prove that He not only told me of this time, but that everything He told me at the time has come to pass right in front of my eyes.
It’s like witnessing a revelation that carries a sobering warning, based on history and scripture: If the United States failed to heed the divine clarion call to dismantle its entrenched system of racist imperialism, the leadership that followed Obama would usher in an era even more troubling than what many perceived under President George W. Bush.
At the time, the full implications of this message were unclear to me, except for one undeniable truth — President Barack Hussein Obama Jr, all of him in both terms, stood as a towering example of integrity and intellect, embodying the very essence of what Black Americans have always represented, in this country and worldwide.
Yes, there is such a thing as a Black Criminal, all of us ain’t righteous; and the ones rightfully convicted should get every bit of what they worked for if and when they are caught. However…
Contrary to the distorted narratives perpetuated by systemic racism, more than ninety percent of Black Americans have consistently demonstrated brilliance, resilience, and moral fortitude comparable and similarly-situated to that of President Obama and his family. Yet, this nation has historically chosen to allow less than ten percent — often individuals marginalized and dehumanized by white supremacist structures — to serve as the distorted archetype for all Black people across the nation, and even worldwide.
That’s not us, that’s them with their racism spread all over us like so much Orange Marmalade.
This practice of racial profiling has not only misrepresented an entire community but has also reinforced harmful stereotypes that continue to shape societal perceptions of exactly who and what we are.

The derogatory term (proverb and byword, scripturally speaking — Deuteronomy 28:37) that was historically imposed upon Black individuals would not exist had European powers not invested centuries in the systematic oppression and terrorization of our African and Native American ancestors, even calling us “uncivilized” as the very things that they did to allegedly ‘civilize’ us were as brutally inhumane as they claimed we were.
SOME Black people’s sins weren’t an open call invitation for all of us to be racially chastized and chain-tortured for centuries.
This deliberate campaign of dehumanization transformed vibrant cultures into caricatures, reducing human beings to labels that served the interests of colonial domination.
Understanding this historical context is essential to dismantling the myths that sustain racial inequality today.
Historical Roots of Racial Profiling
Racial profiling in the United States is not a modern phenomenon; its origins trace back to the colonial era.
Practices such as the Free Negro Registry in Virginia institutionalized surveillance of Black individuals, requiring identification on demand and reinforcing racial hierarchies.
After the abolition of slavery, Jim Crow laws perpetuated systemic discrimination, embedding racial suspicion into law enforcement practices. These patterns evolved into contemporary policing strategies, such as stop-and-frisk, which disproportionately target communities of color (Horn Wright LLP, 2023). Despite legislative milestones like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, racial profiling persists, eroding trust between law enforcement and marginalized communities (Harris, 2020).

European Colonialism and the Construction of African Identity
The roots of racial oppression extend beyond U.S. borders to the global legacy of European colonialism.
Colonial powers systematically dismantled African social structures, imposed foreign languages, and suppressed indigenous cultural practices, creating a profound identity crisis (African Nugget, 2025).
The Berlin Conference of 1884–1885 formalized the partition of Africa, disregarding ethnic and cultural boundaries and entrenching exploitative economic systems (Maverick, 2025). This cultural subjugation fostered internalized racism and perpetuated stereotypes that continue to influence global perceptions of Blackness. The derogatory labels historically imposed on Africans — and later African Americans — are inseparable from this colonial project, which sought to dehumanize and commodify Black bodies for economic gain (Radar Africa, 2024).

Obama’s Presidency: Symbolism and Substance
Barack Obama’s election was heralded as the dawn of a “post-racial” America, challenging centuries-old narratives of Black inferiority (Washington Post, 2016).
His administration projected an image of dignity and competence, embodied by a family that defied entrenched stereotypes (NBC News, 2017). Yet, the optimism surrounding his presidency was tempered by persistent racial disparities. While progress was made in areas such as healthcare access and high school graduation rates, systemic inequalities in employment, housing, and the criminal justice system remained largely unchanged.
Rather than challenge the narratives, Obama’s tenure exposed the resilience of white supremacy, evidenced by the vitriolic backlash and birther conspiracy theories that sought to delegitimize his leadership (Politico, 2016). [washingtonpost.com] [nbcnews.com] [news.emory.edu] [politico.com]
Racist Imperialism and the Clarion Call for Justice
The concept of racist imperialism underscores the intersection of domestic racial oppression and global hegemonic practices.
Historically, U.S. imperialism has operated in tandem with racial hierarchies, shaping foreign policy and domestic governance. Black dissent — whether through the Civil Rights Movement or contemporary activism — has consistently challenged these structures, demanding a reconfiguration of power relations. Mao Zedong’s 1968 statement in support of African American struggles framed these movements as part of a global fight against imperialism and capitalist exploitation (Marxists Internet Archive, 1968).
Today, this clarion call remains urgent: dismantling systemic racism requires confronting its imperialist foundations, both within and beyond U.S. borders. [review.law…anford.edu] [marxists.org]
We’ve Had Enough. We’ve Done Enough.
It’s been more than 500 years for us, nearly 250 of them in slave chains, more than 150 of them under neo-Nazi skinheaded fascism and U.S. racism and bigotry within its own Black Codes, plus plain old skin color hatred and mental derangement coming from white supremacists all over this nation, and worldwide.
Black people in the USA don’t owe America another damned thing.** It owes us. **Dearly.
We’ve marched for nearly 100 years and fought for more than 400 to save this country and build it.
We’re done here. What they get done now, they are on their own.
When we’ve (as Black Americans) worked that hard to keep this country from being knocked on its ass, and all it ever returns to us in exchange is MORE hatred, MORE lynchings, CONTINUED skin color disparities, redlining and gentrification, redloaning, theft, graft, vice, racial profiling, the demolishing of our Black History and monuments to the true soldiers who put their lives on the line to keep us from living under white supremacy, and to keep THEMSELVES free at the same time …
…and it gives us a super-extensive white supremacist nation with Donald John Trump in charge of it…
Enough is enough.

We gave this country righteousness, built it from its rooter to its tooter, fought vehemently for something that would not fight for us, protected something that nailed us to a cross in return —then spit it back at us and spread feces all over the walls we helped build and protect, then stripped it of every inch of Black History it could get its hands on.

We’re done.
And right now, most of the Black American Citizens of this nation have thrown in the towel and refused to participate any longer.
If anyone earned the right to sit this one out, it’s the US of the U.S.
Obama’s presidency illuminated both the possibilities and limitations of racial progress in America.
While his leadership symbolized a break from historical exclusion, it also revealed the depth of systemic inequities and the enduring power of racist imperialism.
Understanding these dynamics demands a critical engagement with history — from the colonial subjugation of Africa to the codification of racial profiling in U.S. law enforcement.
Only by addressing these structural roots can the nation move toward genuine equality and justice.
