Why I Post "Black Stuff"

   I got a message from someone who asked me why I post "all that black stuff," and "all the anti-cop shit." Well, for one,  if they had to ask this question, then they are obviously part of the greater problem. Two, I have a conscience,  and seeing fellow humans treated in the way that they have been treated for hundreds of years, as chattel,  as some sort of subspecies, it angers me.

   White supremacist programming surrepetitiously teaches us,  as whites,  that those who don't share our skin color are really nothing more than talented apes.

   That never imprinted on me.

   That's why my dumb white ass moved to the Crenshaw district in LA,  shortly after the riots. I've always considered everyone to be my equal, regardless of their wrapper,  and so I expect the same from others. Mostly, that's what I got. There were instances of anger,  and even violence directed towards me because of my race.

   Some of you white folks reading this might be thinking "Well that's what you get for moving into a black neighborhood." The implication there is that they are savages, as you have been taught by media to believe they are.

   In Hollywood, for the longest time, and even today,  people of color only got the bad guy roles,  as bit part criminals,  dope addicts,  etcetera. It's getting better,  but media still portrays people of color essentially criminally insane.

   Yes, I've experienced hatred at the end of a fist, but it was only a fraction of the pain our society has dealt to a portion of its own. Lynching still happens. If hasn't gone away. Our society has been treating people of color as less than human since this nation began. That's why laws were enacted,  to try to break that cycle.

   Yet,  here we are,  still there.

   I post these things because I'm angry. You don't get to treat fellow humans this
way, not if I have anything to say about it.

    

On Police...

   Okay,  so some of my followers have noticed my posts on social media lately. Some of you may think I hate cops. Truth is,  I do not. I think cops can be the bravest and most noble among us.

   However...

   Lately,  there have been incidents recorded on video,  and in social media in which cops have definitely acted "above the law", as well as racially prejudiced. Whole departments of them.

   This goes beyond a few "bad apples."

   This is a culture.

   This is a problem because cops have the ability to either end your life or end your freedom on but a word,  and planted evidence. Yes,  as I've seen countless times on YouTube, cops can easily plant evidence,  and you are fucked if they do. They can also kill you and protect themselves by planting a weapon on you,  post-mortem. 

   They do these things to people of color on a daily basis,  just because. I've seen it,  personally.

   I don't want people like this running around with weapons.

   I would like more of the good cops bonding with their neighborhood. I also share many positive inspirational posts about cops.  It makes me happy to hear about the cops who help people on their beat.

   I like warm fuzzies.

   Let's make more of those.

Why This Doesn't Surprise Me

http://m.dailykos.com/story/2015/11/20/1452546/-Donald-Trump-Has-Gone-Full-Nazi-And-If-The-GOP-Doesn-t-Repudiate-It-They-Own-It?detail=facebook

I am not surprised by this, whatsoever.

I have seen people claiming that people of African descent are subhuman,  not actually human beings. I have seen this claim spouted in Christian groups and websites,  so numerous that I cannot count.

So,  it does not surprise me when someone like Trump comes along, and gives our nation's supposed Christians a rally point to stand against people who are not white "Christians".

I've said before, actions speak louder than words. At Trumps direction,  Nazi thugs,  beat a black protester at one of his rallies. Racist cops are coming out of their closets and openly espousing hatred of their fellow man,  and killing them. Racist congressmen and senators alike are openly making racially divisive statements.

It is long past time to put a stop to this.

These false Christians, waving the  American flag, have brought fascism, unchallenged throughout the years,  and now,  our nation finds itself in the middle of a economic downturn that has been obviously manufactured by these same people, whose bought and paid for politicians have shot down everything proposed that would help heal this nation, and,  in turn,  unify it.

This was done in order to divide us. To put "us" against "them"

People are waking up to this realization,  but will it be too little too late?

I hope not. For this nation's sake,  I hope not.

What a World and We Have Only One

So this world is going to Hell. Apparently in a handbasket.

This is why I am not religious.

Apparently,  Christianity is not about Jesus. Not one word, as far as I can see.

I'm talking about the loudest people on the planet who spout their rhetoric while completely ignoring the words of the the man they call themselves after. It is disgusting,  and they claim to have a morally superior stance on the world. They claim. Actions speak louder than words.

The world is tired of this rhetoric.

There is no need for it. We are too big as a planet to be like this anymore.

It is time for a change from the old method,  the old brand of government which protects the few at the expense of the many.

I hope I live to see this change.
