The Brother was letting off some steam,  Brother to Brother. He's got the right to shout , or does he have to ask permission from you to blow his mind?  Surely, you orthodox language purists don't grudge him telling it as it is?

Of course, you can all pray that he won't be saying things about her legs on the BBC at 3 a.m. tomorrow morning.  I'm sure that he can be more elegant and even more circumspect when push comes to shove and  as potent in wordology  as my man Ishmael Reed is in delineating in JUICE  how racism reared its ugly butt  during the OJ Simpson trial. The nation was evenly divided about OJ's guilt back then, just as the nation is divided now about Zimmerman.

On page 113-114 of "Juice", the following conversation takes place:

"You're just sticking with your black brother. Playing the race card"

"You could be accused of playing the gender card by bonding with your white sister. Calling her Marcia. Very unprofessional. The only thing that white women expect of you is to be their maid. You Latinas still don't get it. They put this 187 up to kick your ass out of the country and you still love white people. They beat up Mexicans at the border and you don't do shit. They insult and laugh at Rosa Lopez and you remain passive."

"How dare you insult me this way. I'll put in a compliant. You blacks are always bitching, always complaining about your victimization. Rev Eugene Rivers is right. You should work hard like other people entering the country. You and your Chaka Zulu leaders. Asking for affirmative action – "

"Your ass wouldn't be here if it weren't for affirmative action. Why do you think they made you the co-anchor? Because they were afraid to hire a real Latina, somebody unafraid to take a position that wasn't approved of by the Rathwheeler crowd. You and that sinister creep Geraldo Riviera ain't doing nothing but carrying buckets for the white man."… And so the argument goes on...

Chika,

I am surprised and disappointed that the BBC would grant you an interview. Your remarks below are hateful, sexist and racist. You should be ashamed of yourself. And just in case you have not been told this, you are a shameless self-promoter with delusions of grandeur. Be well.

BBC Program on Zimmerman Verdict

I have agreed to be interviewed on the BBC where I am interviewed frequently, at 11 pm, New York Time today, which is 3 am British time. I am emotionally angry and sad that an unarmed black teenager, minding his own business, was gunned down and his killer acquitted by almost all-white jury, with a buffoon of a so-called black/hispanic woman whose passion and obviously profession is making children, eight children and working at a nursing home. The idiot doesn't even know how to close her f**king damn legs, let alone knowing how to decide on a murder conviction with the white women intimidating her.

Listen to the BBC at 3 am GMT.

Chika Onyeani
