  1. 1776 not for we by Derrick O'Reagan, Engr aka Kamjel @2019 (Spokenwords)

    1776 were not for we, still not free
    Fireworks and confetti of joy
    Still not free
    Not our independence day of freedom
    Not for we,
    still we are not free
    Lynched and tar Hang on a tree
    Castrated with our bowels pour out on the ground that's our memories of America's History
    Black, Brown and indigenous people in this land of home of the brave and liberty for all,
    what lies, still we are not free
    Kill by the police at Will
    Modern day lynching
    Black, brown and indigenous kins
    Still we are not free
    1776 were never for we, still today we are not free modern day Apartheid in this Land of the free and home of the brave
    What a @#&%
    We are still not free
    OH, OH! its 2018, we are still not free

  4. I listened to the entire Fredrick Douglas speech several times. I particularly enjoyed Pastor Fredrick D Haynes III, words near the end, as if they were his own words. How fitting that this dynamic preacher and name sake would participate in this very important speech of rebuke and indictment of slavery and the hypocrisy of July 4th, against America, even to this present time. Thank you Roland for airing this most timely segment.

  6. The Supreme Courtโ€™s ruling on presidential immunity will significantly change America by transforming the presidency, undermining the rule of law, and potentially enabling abuse of power.
