Nobody can overcome everyone of their individual faults, so why not vote for someone with every fault there is.
Working Title of Trump 2024 Campaign Slogan.

.

When people get mad at me for what I say…
I reflexively get mad at them for getting mad at me for having thoughts they were afraid to have, and luckily for them, they didn't. Avoid my thoughts, I beg you!

.

Only the truth can save you!
A Working Title for Trump, never.

.

Try to make yourself comfortable.
My Titanic just set sail.

.

Most traffic stops are done by white cops who are fairness flops.

.

Movies are hardly ever what you want them to be.
Did the Titanic really need to sink, again? Disappointment abounds.

.

White people are not actually that bad.
They merely severely lack personal responsibility for their racism.

.

Grist for the mill.
Is good grind for the goose and the gander.

.

We can no longer hide from the white-privilege structure we support.
I wish it was that easy; do you know how much I will lose if I give up my white privilege? Of course, since there is no such thing as white privilege, what am I actually giving up? But I’m still mad about something you liberals want from me.
That is what I call the circular firing squad of white people logic.

.

America and Americans are exceptional because…
We have thought for so long, in a very shallow, self-serving way, with blinders on, that we are great, superb, and faultless, it must be true.

.

Brace for it now.
Told to Republicans before real science is discussed.

.

Every police department that uses a computer during traffic stops should be able to track their racist quotient. Courts and D.A.’s too!
Post it publicly too, not just on websites; Cops put it on their cars, and cop shop outside wall, courts on their inside/outside walls, updating every five minutes, so we can see their racist ways, in real time.
Hold it! That could hold police to account. Sorry, forget that idea.

.

Much of yesterday was forecast for tomorrow.
While today is caught in the middle without an umbrella.

.

Nothing we do is ever enough, said the perfectionist.
I want to agree, but maybe I just moved on too early.

.

Traffic stops and arrests by cops are cued up racially…
The data doesn’t lie. But the data just lies there because cities, states, and our nation has decided time and again, to not come to terms with racist disparities.

.

I need to be inspirated! Can someone please inspirate me!?

.

The whole world can be more kind.
Except for your kind.

.

When the last humorous gasp…
Resorts to potty humor. You know things have gone sour, down south.

Disarming Absolutists and Authoritarians: Defending LGBTQ, Gender Identities, Gay Marriage

Image
When it comes to the LGBTQ cohort and issues of gender, I do not have all the answers. Like everyone, I am not personally connected to the whole of our diverse humanity, so I will always be at a disadvantage in explaining one perspective or another. Nor can I, or will I, justify every thing that everyone says or does. That said, it confuses me on many levels why people fear those who refused to fit into the non-binary gender category, and why are those same people horrified by the sexual habits of some of their neighbors — who are generally good people.   Unfortunately, being ‘good people’ isn’t enough for many Americans. Their ideas of human ‘perfection’ and individualism have different points of reference than mine. Though imperfect themselves, these ‘deciders’ believe in their ability to determine what ‘perfection’ is, and how far individualism can be taken. A short definition of the latter would be ‘static-quo individualism’ (notice its oxymoronic futility), and the other is pr...

White Americans Make Riots Happen

Image
The first thing many, maybe most whites will do is deny we have any riotous involvement. How could we Whites be the cause when we are hardly ever seen rioting? Yet there have been infinitesimally few riots where whites were not the central cause . While Ku Klux Klan- type white supremacy was often an instigator, it is the larger white supremacist cohort (see image text below) , which includes most white Americans throughout our history, that has created the greater context, the massive matrix of unlit matches you could say, especially today. Even when riots "instigated" by blacks are included in our rioting history, white structured society would be the true culprit of our significant riotous past, our very recent past as well . The evidence to support this claim is infinite, and begins below. The definition of the term riot can be narrowed down to limit the political formations of violence to exonerate state violence, or violence by preferred citizens. Instead I define ...

White People Are Not Responsible For Every Problem People Of Color Have

Image
The Whiteout Story   (Photo by   Yoann Siloine   on   Unsplash ) First published on Medium . . Almost every tweet, post, meme, story, essay, podcast, video, TV or radio program seems to point out, and complain about the bad things white people have   allegedly   done and do to blacks, latinos, American Indians, and others. I am here to say we whites are not responsible for everything wrong with this nation. That said, the 96.61% to 99% we are responsible for, still do not get enough consistent attention in the ways they should. . Yes, it may seem like liberals talk about people of color all the time now, but Trump, a white person, made sure racism, xenophobia, etc. were going to stay high atop the national agenda the last five years. Otherwise, like nearly every topic of importance brought up before Trump, those issues are whitewashed from the national conversation within weeks of a specific   event , or crisis. Of course, to a large extent the media-f...
