EXCERPT FROM MY BOOK “WHAT WE BLACKS NEED TO DO PART 2” for parents and students preparing to research the issues, register, and VOTE against Trump’s pathological lying MAGA politicians and CULT members in the November 3, 2026, midterm election—lesson #28 of 44— What We Blacks Need To Do Part 2 by James Jerome Hankins | The FriesenPress Bookstore
North America - There is a time to be silent and a time to speak. My beautiful, Intelligent wife and I are in a mixed marriage, not race, we are both Black and proud, but religion. She is an AME-Zion, and I am a Catholic. We worship the same GOD, but in our own way. Some AME-Zions traditionally shout and loudly answer the preacher with words like, "Well," "Fix it," "Take Your Time," "Walk Heavy," "All Right Now," and "PREACH!" The most commonly used word is AMEN, which means “so be it”, “so shall it be “, or “It is true”. If anyone loudly talked back to a Catholic Priest or shouted during mass, the whole congregation would turn to see who did it. (SMILE).
Three of our famous assassinated leaders whose letters of their first name were M, Medgar Evers, June 12, 1963, Malcolm X, February 21, 1965, and Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., April 4, 1968, all were articulate speakers, excellent writers, and constant demonstrators whose repetitive utterance was “your vote is your voice”. In his November 3, 1969, speech about Vietnam, President Richard Nixon (the most corrupt president in history until along came Trump, who made Nixon look like an acolyte) Said, "The silent majority agrees with me." Please write, text, email, or phone to demonstrate your positions to your family, friends, co-workers, minister, and politician. Some of you have been silent too long. It's time for you to speak up your way! Will you?
