Trump sends in troops to predominantly black Washington, DC and threatens to do likewise in other Chocolate Cities. On TikTok, protests, particularly those in DC, are censored. Dissent is now disguised under the search term "music festivals". Some people are intimidated away from reparations. Others ain't scared.

As America disintegrates into a second Civil War, some blacks point to Democrats, however "progressive", as blacks' salvation. Aren't we tired of waiting for someone else to save us when we can save ourselves? Our ancestors already left us a vision: The Republic of New Afrika.

Martin Luther King had an integration vision, yet 57 years after his assassination, America still hasn't paid blacks the check King demanded. Blacks are starting to question the dream of their "Martian King".

The Obadele brothers founded the Republic of New Afrika (RNA) in 1968 after the Detroit Rebellion in 1967. RNA were deemed radical, revolutionary, seditious, etc. However, white Jewish Zionists like Theodor Herzl began organizing for their Jewish homeland in 1897, less than 50 years long before the Holocaust occurred during World War 2. Zionists were not deemed radical, revolutionary, or seditious, even though some Zionists conducted violent uprisings against the British during their Palestine Mandate.

What if black Jews want reparations and a homeland? Are we supposed to return to Israel and join in the Palestinian genocide? God forbid! Indeed, to keep from being neocolonizers taking someone else's land, I am a black Jew who envisions unoccupied Mars as the Republic of New Afrika. Hence, I am the Grandma Moses of the "Exodus to Mars" comic book series and video game (in development). However, in my Afrofuturism, Black Martians are time travelers. In other words, as my teacher, Marduke Bel, taught, there is no past, present, and future. Just NOW. The eternal "Now". Otherwise called the "black dot" or the singularity. Or God.

If you are in a black hole or a black hole is in you, then you can either meet God in the singularity or make a wormhole. Is America, or Earth, in a black hole? The only way out of a black hole is through a wormhole. Certain black women are the "wormholes" or Stargates.

On behalf of my DNA Sorority, Lucy Original Alpha 1, I want reparations before I open my Stargates. On behalf of the Reparations Labor Union and Exodus to Mars, women and melanin are on strike until there's reparations justice and world peace. So says the asteroid named after Psyche, the Greek Goddess of the Soul. NASA and SpaceX launched to this asteroid on October 13, 2023. She's worth $10 quintillion. The Psyche Asteroid is the Black Princess of Mars. "Exodus to Mars" is Afrofuturism that essentially says, "No reparations justice, no peace, and no piece of Psyche."

Only from Detroit would come an Afrofuturistic parody of Edgar Rice Burrough's comic strip about the Princess of Mars being "rescued" by a white Confederate soldier from the "evil" Black Martian Firstborn. The Black Martians were Ausarian Egyptians who worshipped Maat. Maat is the Egyptian equivalent of Lady Justice. Holding a mirror to ERB's spiritual arrogance shows that he saw himself rescuing his Confederate Soul from Justice! If Geico's slogan is true, then we do become our parents. We become our ancestors. Imagine the sexist arrogance of NASA and SpaceX choosing the Queen of Soul as the first heavenly body they would mine. Aretha Franklin fans in reparations sing "Respect" to NASA and SpaceX.

A President convicted of sexual assault, who pardons himself, tries to distract the world from seeking disclosure of evidence about his pedophilia. Despicable. Yet white survivors of assault in the Me Too Movement who bring up Trump's crimes show no solidarity for black women in reparations. We say that Trump is not the first American President who was a rapist or a pedophile. While should white women who survive assault get cash settlements, their children receive child support, black descendants of America's enslaving Founding Fathers are told to stop demanding child support from their deadbeat dads.

The Democrats' coalition fails when blacks are the foundation for other minorities to receive their rights, yet the other minorities don't show solidarity for reparations. White women in the Me Too Movement became hypocrites when black women demanded reparations for assault. Trump is no different than America's Founding Fathers. Yet blacks are supposed to continue putting others' rights before our own while others put our rights out of sight and out of mind. It's others' turn to participate in reparations if they want us to reciprocate.

Do whites start wars to distract the World Court from black genocide? The first time I referred this black genocide case based upon Iran-Contra was September 11, 2001. Yes, that September 11th. The second time this black genocide case was referred was February 24, 2022, the same day that the Ukraine-Russia War started. Another coincidence? If white Americans start wars to distract from black genocide, then the only way blacks can get reparations justice is through peace on Earth. Kinda makes blacks the peacemakers who are called the children of God.

Peace, like justice and freedom, ain't free. For example, simply sending emails and text message reminders about NCOBRA Detroit's Zoom meetings cost approximately $100 per month before members pay dues of $25 per year. If the entire financial burden of the Detroit NCOBRA Chapter falls on me, and COINTELPRO forces me out of Detroit, then what happens to the historic Detroit Chapter? Additionally, our international law case needs a sustainable legal defense fund. The Reparations Labor Union's economic development arm, Melanin Biotech Productions LLC, fundraises for the legal defense fund through the "Exodus to Mars" comic strip and upcoming video game.
