What happens to a dream unheard? Does it calm down, like a child on the run? Or temper like a bore, and then shun? Is it silent like those who are weak? Or slick and darken over like an oily beach? Maybe it's just gagged and overthrown. Or does it get bold? Langston Hughes, who I actually had the opportunity of playing in a show once, wrote the landmark poem "A Dream Deferred" in 1951. Just twelve years later a man by the name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., likely inspired by Hughes' wonderful poem, gave the landmark "I Have A Dream Speech" in 1963, which a great many people quote, but very few understand. Four years later in 1967, Langston Hughes died. A year later, in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered by a crazed gunman. After he was killed, riots broke out in the streets and Langston Hughes' poem proved to be more prophetic than he had ever imagined. That dream surely did explode, and it has continued to explode, and, I can promise you, that there will be many more explosions to follow. Dr. King's death was tragic and that tragedy remains very poignant for many of us to this very day. However, King at least had his time at the pedestal. He was able to be heard by millions of people, and I am glad for that because such a mountain of a man deserves to be heard. But in the black community there are many men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: men with purpose, men with pride, men with strength, men with intellect, men with undying talent; but none of these men have been heard. Instead these black men are told to wait their turn while democratic establishment panders to conservative and moderate white folks, the same conservative and moderate white folks who sabotaged the Build Back Better bill. You saw what happened when the dream was at least heard. You saw what happened when you killed a King. Now the people of America have made an even more foolish decision, a decision that will go down in history as the greatest betrayal the democratic establishment has ever perpetrated on the black community. White liberals, the very same white liberals that Malcolm X, also murdered by a crazed gunman, decried in his Ballot or the Bullet speech as nothing more than impostors, have once again shown their true colors. They have refused again and again and again to address the issues of a police force that is out of control. Just today there was a report of an officer who was caught helping a known criminal run a sex trafficking operation; I had that on a black news station. White liberals had nothing to say about it. The white liberals have refused to hire people of color at the same rate that they hire their white friends. Multiple studies have proven this to be true and none of these studies have been taken seriously by white liberals. White liberals have refused to protect voting rights, instead opting to promote the same bullshit line that they will get around to it once the pandemic is over. The pandemic is not going to be over anytime soon. A Business Insider article released today clearly demonstrated that vaccination rates have been artificially inflated by data collectors, and are much lower than originally thought. So the question becomes, what is keeping voters of color in the Democratic party anymore? What is their reason for staying? I can tell you right now that they "at least he's not Trump" argument will only get you so far. That motivates me to go to the polls, but it does not motivate blacks in states with voter ID laws and a lack of transportation to get to the polls. It doesn't motivate young people either, and that is your base if you are a member of the Democratic party of same. This rise in crime will not cease. You have doomed yourselves because you have refused to give people the chance to dream. You have refused to listen and so now the backlash will ensue. A man with an extraordinary mind doomed for the ordinary by no fault of his own will fight for what is rightfully his. He gets bold.
