AT 1NE DROP, ROSA CLEMENTE REMINDS THAT LATIN AMERICA IS PART OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

Yesterday, an interesting thing happened to me.

I closed my eyes. Grandmother told great stories.

“There were fewer people, no one to protect our world or our universe.  I do not think when Mars chased Luna that he intended to sire a beast. But beast he was.”

“How can such silvery beauty as I spawn repulsion?” she screamed as she flung him into the abyss of night.

“I am sorry, Luna. Please forgive me” the love struck Mars pled.

“Our love created that foul thing. We cannot be together, ever.”

“So Mars retreated to his corner of the Solar System looking each evening for a glimpse just a whisper of her , his  dearest Luna.”

‘Tea Party Leaders Decide Enough Is Enough.
Just watch this new video from the Tea Party
Leadership Fund’:

‘Any Republican who did their job is on that list,
labelled as traitors’.

‘The Tea Party Leadership Fund (who notably
bankrolled Louie Gohmert and Allen West according
to Opensecrets.org) has now decided to finance
*any* candidate who runs against any ‘traitor’ who
did their jobs’.

• ‘So, we can see more rape is “something that God intended to happen” and legitimate rape comments next year from the Tea Party’.
• ‘We will get more pushes to bring back slavery alongside admission that voter suppression efforts target black people’.

‘The Tea Party has decided that they hate the
United States enough that they just want to burn it
down, and they intend to play fiddle while it
burns’.
