I Am Sure There Is No God, But If There Is, He's A Racist



 - Thomas Jefferson




...Haitian slaves liberated themselves by successfully defeating Napoleon. President Jefferson was the first to refuse to recognize their independence from France. As a result, over twenty years later, the French reminded the Haitians that they, themselves, constituted a debt. The Haitians did the only thing they could to retain their physical freedom and borrowed the equivalent of $150 million dollars (almost double the cost of Louisiana) from Wall Street to pay “reparations” to the French. Of course, this original predatory debt reaped enormous rewards and in the end they paid the equivalent of $20 billion dollars for their freedom – something that never should have been for sale. And all the way up until 1947, 80% of Haiti’s economy went to pay off this debt to National City Bank – known today as Citibank.

A Clinton Cult (Baptizes Napoleon's Nightmares In Stars)




- Napoleon Bonaparte, making me laugh

 


- Maya Angelou, my babysitter back-in-the-day

 





- George Clinton's Mothership Connection (1979 - South Central, Los Angeles' soundtrack the year I graduated High School) predicting NewAge's rise ("the Placebo Syndrome") would lead whites (Sir Nose) off course until modern man (Starchild) identified the problem (using the Flashlight) to show Nose the way to true freedom (The Funk).

 









- "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)", Mothership Connection's happy conclusion, when the spirits of "Atlantis" (the Atlantic Slave Trade) force Sir Nose's dance floor discovery:

That to address what's bubbled up from under the sea ("What we have to live through"
) doesn't have to get anybody killed ("wet").
