FBA's Vital Contributions to Literature (Microphone Check Documentary)

Family, In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, I discuss Tariq Nasheed's upcoming--and very timely--documentary, "Microphone Check: The Hidden History of Hip Hop." I speak on the many innovations black people have contributed to literature, how we've strategically weaponized literature against injustice, historically and in the present day, and why this upcoming film is vital in documenting our track record of literary excellence. Please check out the trailer for "Microphone Check: The Hidden History of Hip Hop": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDFR_yd-YUc Also, please support the film's Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiddenhistory/microphone-check-the-hidden-history-of-hip-hop

The Lewiston, ME Shooting Explained (Not Mental Illness)

The Lewiston, ME Shooting Explained (Not Mental Illness)

Anytime there's a mass shooting, do you ever notice how the white media always tries to chalk up the motive to "mental illness?"

Well if that's the case, why is it that the mass shootings are almost exclusively done by white men? Why are there no scores of black men and women, who suffer mental illness at the same rates, going out and shooting random people?

There's a more arching psychological dynamic at play here, and, until white America is willing to deal with it honestly, the carnage WILL continue.

In this edition of Poethnic Justice, I break down the TRUE root of why these tragedies continue to occur.

One Love & One Justice,

The Stormy Poet

How To Lure out Someone's Inner Racist

How To Lure out Someone's Inner Racist

Brothers & Sisters, White people have no problem with speaking out about how bad racism is.

However, when it's time to start talking about abolishing white privilege completely and about returning the wealth that was stolen from the descendants of American slaves, that's when the most salt-of-the-Earth, pure-heated, BLM-supporting, white liberal will start to sound like Tucker Carlson.

If you really want to test if your white spouse or friends are "really your spouse or friends," just ask them what their stance on reparations for black people in America is. And, then just listen to what they have to say.

Their answer will let you know just how they feel about their well-being and the people who look like you. Think I'm lying? Don't take my word for it. Put it to the test. In this edition of the Poethnic Justice Podcast, we discuss. One Love & One Justice, T.S.P

💲Your Health Is Your Wealth...and Your Weapon⚔️

💲As individuals, many of else just don't feel like we have the power to influence the world in any significant way. Therefore, instead of doing what we can where we're at, many of us have just opted to do absolutely nothing instead, or we'll just speak out against it without really doing any legwork.


⚔️Taking a stance against injustice doesn't always require so enormous gesture of activism that every in the world can see. Sometimes doing something as small as simply maintaining your overall health IS a revolutionary act, truly.

Celebrating Hollow Victories: Trump's Mug Shot

Celebrating Hollow Victories: Trump's Mug Shot

I've been seeing a lot of black people reveling in the fact #donaldtrump was forced to take a mugshot. And don't get me wrong. I enjoy a certain level of satisfaction seeing someone who called for the incarceration of 5 innocent black children, even after they were found innocent, being forced to pose for a mug shot themselves. Talk about Poethnic Justice, indeed. That said, in the grander scheme of things, should black people be viewing this as some kind of victory?

Family, Does who you choose to be a life-longer partner with affect anyone outside your relationship? Furthermore, is "race" a nonfactor when it comes to choosing a wife or a husband? In this edition of The #PoethnicJustice Podcast, I reiterate how race plays a major factor in whether our romantic relationships will be successful or not.

😡How To Make Racists Butthurt😡

This edition of the #PoethnicJustice Podcast centers around the unconstitutional home invasion of rapper Afroman's residents in Adams County, IL. I thought this was a good case study on how to exercise power over those who practice institutional racism. There are excellent lessons to be learned as to how he handled this situation we as black people can use to our advantage. He exercised power in a way where the racists, who basically tried to pull off another Breonna Taylor, couldn't do anything but just sit there butthurt😡😡. Join us, family!

✊🏿Dealing w/ Systemic Racism Head-On: Separating the Talkers from the Doers

✊🏿Dealing w/ Systemic Racism Head-On: Separating the Talkers from the Doers

Poethnic Justice Family,


Welcome to another edition of #PoethnicJustice. In light of the #supremecourt  ruling to effectively end #affirmativeaction, I felt it necessary to do a re-upload of an episode I did a while back discussing the book I wrote, which maps specific strategies on how to combat such atrocities.
There is no shortage of mouthpieces available to talk about how bad racism is and how we need to get rid of it. However, the question seldom asked is, just how are we to effectively accomplish that?
 Is it by spreading more love and understanding?  
 Is it by having more diversity and inclusion?  
Is voting for the Democrats the answer?  
Is better education the solution?  
Why has racism persisted so long in our society, and how did it come to  exist in the first place?  
In this edition of #PoethnicJustice, I discuss how my 1st underground book and 3rd written book, "Code of Conduct Suggestion Guide for Surviving, Comprehending, & Fully Dismantling Systematic Racism/White Supremacy", answers all these questions in full.
I do so using verifiable and factual information, not on feelings and theories.
To retrieve your copy of the most controversial document in America, free of charge, e-mail "I want a copy" to tsp@TheStormyPoet.com (You will never be put on any e-mail lists, and your e-mail address will never be shared). This book is ONLY available by request.
It's time to #GetCodedUp.
One Love & One Justice,
The Stormy Poet

Clips from the #FBAExpo 2023

Clips from the #FBAExpo 2023

Family,


I had the distinct honor to attend the #FBA Expo 2023, on May 27th at The Black Academy of Arts and Letters. I've never seen so many driven, innovative, passionate, and talented black people under one roof. Countless connections were made. The information presented in the seminars was nothing short of life-changing. And it was an incredible privilege to meet and speak with some of our master teachers and FBA advocates in the flesh: Dr. Kaba Kamane, Rizza Islam, Marcel Dixon, King Cam, Vicki Dillard etc. It is my fondest wish that this event becomes an annual occurrence. As our Master Teach Neely Fuller said, black people only should meet up if there is an agenda. Well what happened on May 27 showed the kind of constructive outcomes that occur when black people do so. We should meet with that being the goal as frequently as possible, especially in observance of events like #juneteenth. On this edition of Poethnic Justice, I showcase some clips I filmed while at the Expo.

Law Enforcement, White Media, & Cowardice = Injustice

Law Enforcement, White Media, & Cowardice = Injustice

Family, Law and entertainment (which media falls under) are to the areas of human activity Brother Neely Fuller categorized when explaining how white supremacy dominates all of them. And as we see in the manslaughter case, which should have been murder charge, of #SusanLorincz who killed #AjikeOwens--as with so many other cases where a black person is murdered--these 2 areas are being weaponized against and to protect the white killer. But to make matters worse, there's a 3rd element of attack the dominant society uses: the black apologist class. In this edition of #PoethnicJustice, I break down how these forces working in concert create injustice and what black people can do to combat them.

Our master teacher, Khalid Abdul Muhammad breaks down how anti-black racism is not just an American thing, but that's it's also, equally, a phenomenon that expands beyond US borders to all the 4 corners of the Earth. Many people will ask, "Why are black people so hated everywhere?" My answer to that is, Neely Fuller and Dr. Frances Cress Welsing already explained that. If you want to know the true answer as to why racism exists, you'll actually care enough to put in the work, on your own, to understand how it works.

The Lack of Black Writing Support Groups: Supporting Each Other Like White Writers & Readers Do

The Lack of Black Writing Support Groups: Supporting Each Other Like White Writers & Readers Do

To My Fellow Black Wordsmiths,

I took this audio from one of my writing meetings I host here in Tarrant Country, TX called Wordsmiths & Readers of Tarrant (WRT), a group I started so local writers and artists in the area could have a place to actually discuss and explore the craft of the language arts.

The splendid young lady I'm speaking to goes by the pen name Nai Williams (http://tiny.cc/fxavtz).

Our meeting dialogue gravitated towards the issue, being that we're both black writers, of how black novelists and poets don't have the same types of support networks and peer groups white writers have, which makes it extremely difficult for us to stay motivated as artists.

In this edition of Poethnic Justice, where I like to cover how literary art is an effective tool in fighting white supremacy, we discuss some solutions to this dilemma that all black writers face.

Please feel free to join the discussion.

How Black People Mastered the Art of Distracting Themselves

Family,

When it comes to the issue of dealing with racism/white supremacy, unfortunately, out of cowardice, too many black people have mastered the art of distracting themselves in order to not avoid dealing with the biggest threat to their existence head-on.  This edition of #PoethnicJustice breaks down how, while black people might be busy distracting themselves from the issue at hand and not looking for a fight, white supremacy is definitely looking for a fight with us.  

And, it's a fight that will inevitably end up at your doorstep.

The Myth That Correct Punctuation Hinders Poetic Creativity

The Myth That Correct Punctuation Hinders Poetic Creativity

To My Black Writers,

Over the years, I've heard many writers express how they feel confined and limited in their creativity by using proper punctuation, and, in my early writing days, I felt the same way.

However, as I matured in my craft, I found there are ways you can utilize punctuation to both enhance the message being conveyed in your work and to expand your creative boundaries.

If you're a writer out there, I would love to know what you about the discussion.

Origins of Racism: Why White & Black Were Invented

Origins of Racism: Why White & Black Were Invented

Greetings Family,

The majority of us already know that the system of racism/white supremacy expresses itself in every area of our society.  However, when the subject of racism is discussed, the focal point tends to be the symptoms of it rather than its root cause.  

Typically, the expression of racism in our society gets chalked up to people just being ignorant or people who have some inexplicable hatred or bigotry for non-white people. Very seldom are the questions asked, how did this concept known as racism (white and black) even get started?  And better yet, why was it created?   

In this edition of
#PoethnicJustice, I delve into the origins of systematic racism, why the concept of black and white was created, and how it has been able to persist for so long, even though it was created hundreds of years ago.

Generational Trauma: All Black People Need Therapy

Generational Trauma: All Black People Need Therapy

Greetings Family,

Living under a system of racism has brought about an immense amount of situational and generational trauma to the group classified as African Americans.  Rather than seeking counseling or therapy for the mental issues that arise from having to deal with that trauma, we oftentimes negate the effect this chronic trauma has had on our psyche.  

And, we discourage others in our group from getting help by saying things like "Well, all you need to do is let go and let Him do the work," "I'll pray for you," or "You're a strong black man/black woman, you got this."  In this edition of
#PoethnicJustice I decided to share my own experience with a mental dissociative disorder in the hopes I can inspire other black people to educate themselves on how our mental health is a determining factor in the quality of our lives and in the hopes encouraging black people to not feel guilty for seeking help for issues they cannot help themselves with.

I would love to hear everyone's feedback on the matter.

Loving Away Systematic Racism Doesn't Work

Loving Away Systematic Racism Doesn't Work

Family,

I made this presentation in response to a comment that was left in regards to an article I posted entitled, "Black People, It's Time To Get Armed." (
https://t.ly/J5SP), which expressed the need for black people to take advantage of their right to bear arms a means of protection in a society that is hostile and violent towards us.

As has been the case historically and in the modern-day, black people have been encouraged by the dominant society and other non-black groups to seek peace and understanding with those who mistreat them, to turn the other cheek when they've been systemically abused over the span of centuries, and to not take a proactive stance in anticipating and expecting that violence will be done to them or their loved ones while living under a state of systematic racism.  

Often, I hear individuals express, if we could just all come together and hold hands and somehow get those who desire to mistreat black people that we are just as human as white people, that there is some way to "love away" the system of white supremacy.

My question to that sentiment: What is love?  Should we love the top percentile of white families who hoard the majority of this country's wealth--wealth that was built up through free African chattel slavery and Jim Crow which didn't allow African Americans effectively compete economically?  What's love got to do with it?

To me, as I state in the podcast, "love" equals "justice." Are people ready to advocate and put in the kind of work it takes to bring about that justice?

Why Reading Daily Will Save Your Life

Why Reading Daily Will Save Your Life

Family,

The whole reason I set up The Stormy Poet Compositions platform was to promote messages such as the one presented in this program. Reading, on a daily basis, has scientifically been proven to have tremendous benefits to your life. It's often thought of as boring or tedious, not as being an investment of time to enrich yourself on so many levels. 

The companies that govern all you see and hear have conditioned you to be that way.  The more mindless we are and the more we're unable to sit down in a quiet room and focus on one thing, the more impulsive we become as consumers. There is a reason they call television "programming."   

It's time to, as a society, change the way we think about literature in general.  As the old saying goes, "The pen is mightier than the sword," and it's time for us--especially black people in particular--use that weapon, both in what we take and what we communicate, to empower ourselves.

Black Male Privilege Is a Racist Concept

Black Male Privilege Is a Racist Concept

Family,  

In this edition of the
#PoethnicJustice, I present evidence disclaiming the dangerous and detrimental myth of black privilege.  As a black collective and as a country in general, it's vital we stop allowing these planted false narratives to distract us away from dealing with the unjust system of race America does all its business under.  And to do that, we have to learn how to recognize what they look like.

The "divide & conquer" tactic the dominant society has used for decades in America (since the end of the Civil Rights era) has been consistently utilized to promote division and disorganization among black men and women.  When the men (the warrior class of black society) and the women (the nurturers and the teachers) are unable to move as a cohesive unit, then, there are no relationships.

When there are no relationships, there are no marriages--then no children, no family, and no communities standing in solidarity behind the core principle that the system of white privilege/anti-black racism must be eradicated from the face of this Earth.

Why Reparations Must Be Lineage-Based (The Grio's Michael Harriot debates Congressional candidate Marcel Dixon)

Why Reparations Must Be Lineage-Based (The Grio's Michael Harriot debates Congressional candidate Marcel Dixon)

Gregg Marcel Dixon is running for election to the U.S. House to represent South Carolina's 6th Congressional District. He recently debated The Grio's, Michael Harriot over an article he published entitled "Top 10 reasons why lineage-based reparations is a bad plan." Mr. Dixon, masterfully, goes into withering detail on how a race-based justice claim for reparations would not hold up Constitutionally in the courts and why how making race the basis would be ineffective at addressing the legacy of chattel slavery in America and unfair in that it would provide those who are not heirs of that legacy restitution they do not need and are not owed to them.

Every person who descends from American slavery who sees the value in Gregg Dixon's message and cause SHOULD donate to his campaign. As Dr. John Henrick Clarke so eloquently put it, a people who do not protect their advocates will have no advocates.

W.R.T. Initiation: Literacy's Importance to Black Progress

W.R.T. Initiation: Literacy's Importance to Black Progress

What was the real reason reading and writing were made illegal during slavery? I would argue, that there is a power in the language arts that the white supremacists who orchestrated the human bondage of slavery were aware of.   

Furthermore, I wholeheartedly believe there is an effort being put forth to keep black people's eyes constantly glued to their cell phones and  Netflix and to keep us focused on doing any and everything other than being able to adequately articulate and verbally address what our specific problems and needs are.

When you're able to identify and articulate specifically what and who the enemy is, the more effectively you'll be in eliminating that enemy from existence, which is exactly what the dominant society wants for black people.  

This physical and virtual-based group (W.R.T.), which folks can attend virtually or physically, was one created for all writers to have a  central place to commune and respectfully exchange ideas. But, its main function is to give black writers a place to have a support group, as white authors have.  

This is a place where you, as a black writer, can come and get the group support you need that white writers have the luxury of having.

Whether it'd be on Twitter Space or in person, you're more than welcome to join us!
