“Where is your fire? I say where is your fire? Can’t you smell it coming out of our past? The fire of living…not dying. The fire of loving…not killing. The fire of Blackness…not gangster shadows. Where is our beautiful fire that gave light to the world? The fire of pyramids; The fire that burned through the holes of slaveships and made us breathe; The fire that made guts into chitterlings; The fire that took rhythms and made jazz; The fire of sit-ins and marches that made us jump boundaries and barriers; The fire that took street talk sounds and made righteous imhotep raps. Where is your fire, the torch of life full of Nzingha and Nat Turner and Garvey and DuBois and Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin and Malcolm and Mandela.”

Fearless Protector

I don’t need a gun, I’ll rip your head off bare-handed/ You messed with someone you thought was weaker, and I can’t stand it/ I won’t allow it, you have no permission; for your forgiveness God I’m askin’/ Heaven help us both if you fuck around and find out/ don’t let disrespect come out of your ugly mouth/ teeth on the pavement flashbacks of the slaveship/ I launch rockets–Cape Canaveral…

Ownership or Slaveship ? How many books have you smoked? How many LLC’s , brain cells , seminars, consults , marketing , products , investments have you smoked away? Focus on your come up not your high!! The marijuana industry is a billion dollar one , but most aren’t focused on getting in the business instead your happy being the consumer ? @smokeandgrowrichtours at least you learn ownership not Slaveship. Many of you are Slaves to the chemicals in the weed . And weed is just one example. But we ALL have vices that are taking away from our success!! For those who want to quit try @crownzoil & ,smartmoss , even @goldewater it helps negate the psychoactive effects of the THC while giving the health benefits of the CBD!! #19keys

Sidekick Girls 3

One of the tougher and more capable female sidekicks in the Golden Age comics was Teena, the partner of The Avenger. Both characters were “space detective” crime fighters whose adventures took place in an unspecified future cosmos where the two battle various interstellar criminals, pirates, slavers and creatures bent on universal domination. Their true identities were “wealthy young aristocrat” Rod Hathaway, and his apparently gauche blonde secretary Dot Kenny. What I like about this pair is that Teena is depicted as a fully equal partner to the Avenger, and is as skilled in combat as he is, and is no more prone to peril than is Rod himself. In the first page featured here, Avenger and Teena thwart and capture a cosmic bandit known as Gargoyle, who Teena, perhaps a little cruelly, promises will face the “electronic slab” (a futuristic version of the electric chair) while she handcuffs him.

In the second page featured our intrepid duo pose as slaves in order to infiltrate an inter planetary slaving ring run by a particularly unpleasant villain known as Maag and succeed in turning the tables on him. His asteroid of slavers is left to run out of food and water while the space detectives take the subdued Maag as a prisoner to the Interplanetary Patrol to face justice. Once again Teena is good with the trash talk, rubbing it in with Maag, while the criminal looks suitably irritated and fed up. With its modern sensibilities, this title anticipates Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering by thirty years and should, in a fair world, be an excellent candidate for a 2020s reboot.

The Avenger and Teena had a four issue run in Space Detective comics in 1951, with each issue featuring three parts of a continuous story. The title was written by Warren Kremer and illustrated by Wally Wood and Joe Orlando.

The first page is from Slaveship of Saturn, Space Detective #2 (November 1951); the second page is from Trail to the Asteroid Hideout; Space Detective #1 (July 1951).

Catch the Fire

(Sometimes I wonder:

What to say to you now

in the soft afternoon air as you

hold us all in a single death?)

I say—

Where is your fire?

I say—

Where is your fire?

You got to find it and pass it on.

You got to find it and pass it on

from you to me from me to her from her

to him from the son to the father from the

brother to the sister from the daughter to

the mother from the mother to the child.

Where is your fire? I say where is your fire?

Can’t you smell it coming out of our past?

The fire of living…not dying

The fire of loving…not killing

The fire of Blackness…not gangster shadows.

Where is our beautiful fire that gave light

to the world?

The fire of pyramids;

The fire that burned through the holes of

slaveships and made us breathe;

The fire that made guts into chitterlings;

The fire that took rhythms and made jazz;

The fire of sit-ins and marches that made

us jump boundaries and barriers;

The fire that took street talk sounds

and made righteous imhotep raps.

Where is your fire, the torch of life

full of Nzingha and Nat Turner and Garvey

and DuBois and Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin

and Malcolm and Mandela.

Sister/Sistah Brother/Brotha Come/Come

CATCH YOUR FIRE…DON’T KILL

HOLD YOUR FIRE…DON’T KILL

LEARN YOUR FIRE…DON’T KILL

BE THE FIRE…DON’T KILL

Catch the fire and burn with eyes

that see our souls:

WALKING.

SINGING.

BUILDING.

LAUGHING.

LEARNING.

LOVING.

TEACHING.

BEING.

Hey. Brother/Brotha. Sister/Sista.

Here is my hand.

Catch the fire…and live.

live.

livelivelive.

live.

Jobcenters, deportation-centers, workcamps, re-education-camps, lebensborn camps, slaveships. It’s the same being described in different ways, & the public slander is just the public & State flogging Assyrian style.

V:

when tarnishing my name,

to destroy & conquer/

you wasn’t excluded

you was front row the fire starter/

my heart is such a martyr,

forever personal & bothered/

I’m so sensitive

Impatient with load screens when I start to bombing/

King to those prince charmings,

Very alarming & tactical/

These hands work

Open chest

HADYUKEN!

mildly practically,

This verbiage is so magical/

Hands dripping of platinum,

Eating the metronome fruit of a unicorn/

Holograms of a fruitful love,

One could imagine then filled with scorn/

The war on depression is self inflicted porn,

& within the moment I was born

I realized love would have me torn/

Spaced between two pivots,

Decipher every matrix to the digits/

This mind exquisite,

Never playing victim when ILLN is the only mission/

Of course when God tells me to listen,

I hear the devil & remix the vision/

mmm it’s spooky how I get impeccable with this shit,

It’s like watching for 3 years then caging to friendship/

Shackled to exist amongst mortals,

Floating in the sun to somewhere I didn’t want/

That’s a slaveship

THE TREES WITH SORROWFUL ROOTS

Since the progress of genetics, we are surrounded by websites offering to uncover our entire family tree.  

I have always felt uncomfortable finding the ancestors I share with a plethora of people. I fear the undesirables and criminals that reside among them. And I imagine their misdeeds creeping up towards me, towards my moral conscience.  We are undoubtedly not responsible for the behavior of our ancestors however the fact that I come from them makes me symbolically involved in their actions, whether they were good or bad actions.  

It is a difficult experience for descendants of slaves to discover the origins of their ancestors. These ancestors are survivors of the slave ships, the whipping and rapes.

African-Americans are overwhelmed with emotions when they visit The Door of No Return in Ouidah, Benin or the old slave-trading center on Goree Island in Senegal. This place shows the grim slave-quarters where Africans were parked before crossing the Atlantic Ocean in chains.

How do you offer a descendant of a slave a family tree without the indescribable violence and the profound injustice coming from their past? Should we remind anyone that most of these family trees have no African names? They were all eradicated with the help of a club or a hanging rope. Then, the slave owners gave their name instead, claiming them as their property. Now, how can the family tree finds its way back to its roots? The only way is by traces of blood, by DNA.

The consumers of European extraction has a different experience most of the time. The majority are praising genealogy websites for helping them finding that first ancestor who got on the Mayflower ship. Their family trees, even with a violent past, do not include slave ships, systemic lynching and the eradication of their identity.

European farmers, sharecroppers, well off citizens run away from the plague, from starvation and wars. Jews had to flee the pogroms and all mistreatment reserved to religious minorities. They all experienced their share of atrocities. But the persecuted, the despised rebuilt their lives in the Americas. Once on this shore, they were welcomed and could walk with no chains on their feet. The Africans experienced the opposite. Naked and tied up, they were no longer farmers, nor sharecroppers or well off citizens. Once captured, they became ebony wood transported to the American continent to be brutalized even more, even by the people who were persecuted in Europe.

Genealogy websites are not presenting these facts. The commercials are oriented towards what sells the most : a glorious past. Most of the time, we could see seniors looking at their great grandfather picture, the hero who lost his life for a good cause. Their pride is valid but it is one side of the story of genealogy.  

We commemorate the struggle of African-Americans, we name streets after their heroes, we paint canvas, write books but no one repay for the wrong done to the descendants of slave throughout the Americas. Not even the Africans. They should be at the forefront of the justice for slavery movement. We could have different opinions on how to go about reparation but no one should be opposed. The exploitation of Africans during at least 4 centuries demand a form of justice. 

Genealogy websites are a reminder that it is impossible to turn all citizens into admirers of their forbears. There are undeniable factors that keep the fire of revolt burning, the volcano's lava percolating through the mind of the outcasts. What do we do with the people left behind on the side of the road of human decency and justice?

Instead of leaving them in their struggle, we should join forces to correct the wrong that affect their lives even today.
