For some reason, yelling at the TV, a podcast, or a tweet that angers me never does enough to calm my rage, and likely does not help anyone else. Speaking of rage against the demon machine of democracy death, I have been reading Stacey Abrams book, Our Time Is Now. Every other sentence seems to send me through the roof. How can she be so calm in explaining the horrors of Republican right-to-vote killers?

See these bits of shingle tar in my hair? Do you know how much shampooing is required to get that shit out?!

Georgia is the epitome of the right-to-lifer motto. They will not allow a woman of color to activate any rights until at least every pregnancy is going their fundamentalist, conservative christian-trappings’ way. Meaning, every baby of color — they force out of a mother of color — can also grow up without ever getting to implement their right to vote.

The rights Republican, so-called christians will allow, go from when a man and wife have fucked until the full term baby is plucked, though from toddler on, it all depends on whether with white skin-color the child lucked. If not of the dominate race, and privileged color, your rights will be chucked!

We gotta stop this kind of crazy control from conservative crackpots, and racist cracker cranks. Both the national election, and states and congressional districts, like Georgia can get an election or legislative win without having the majority on their side, not just opinion polls, but actual lower vote totals. Sometimes much lower. While not everything is based on majorities, majority-based elections sure as hell should be about the majority vote!

You will hear Republicans say they don’t believe there is systemic racism, or can’t see how a person comes up with a concept like white privilege. Yet it is right there in Georgia, Florida, and other states: more or less obvious. Conservatives often do nothing to hide it. It is blatant in so many cases.

Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts in 2013 gave the go ahead for this ballooning travesty of democracy death throes, and Black votes thrown out. He is the 21st century version of Roger B. Taney, of the Dred Scott ruling, and slavery justification infamy. Roberts must resign in disgrace. And I will personally hand him his pink slip of infamy and disgrace.

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...
