.
Donald Trump will appear in his first post POTUS Reality TV program.
He is scheduled to star in a live reenactment of Gary Troubadour’s The Great Pumpkin & Putin: A Love Horror Story.

.

In 1971, Nelson Rockefeller slaughtered 33 Black inmates at the Attica prison.
Rockefeller was a presidential candidate who had to show his true White humanity to those who were going to elect him. Remind you of anyone?

.

Hey, it was a different time back in 1971…
When slaughtering Black Americans made sense for political and societal purposes, being it was merely the white culture back then, just as slavery and Jim Crow were in their time. So white culture can also be as vile as it will and must be today, then tomorrow we can look back on it with indifferent, and nostalgic eyes.

.

Systemic racism cannot be a thing because it disappeared shortly after the 1960s.
David Hardy was an investigative reporter working at the NY Daily News in the 1980s when he began a racial discrimination lawsuit against the paper. While he won the lawsuit in 1989, Hardy couldn’t get a job after his lawsuit was over. And Hardy may be the greatest investigative reporter of all time including Woodward and Bernstein, both men working at desks on either side of Hardy in their early years. Of course, no white bread, supremacist-fed industry would hire a Black person that tattled on the systemic racism that pervaded an industry at that point, and still does. News media staffing today by the racist numbers.

.

White people have the greatest superpowers ever known to a flailing and failing society.
There is strength beyond comprehension when you have the whitewashing numbers and the political power. White people do not want to know the real racism statistics, or they powerfully deny them with the super inhuman strength and stench of their caricature.

.

It may seem like I am a self-hating White Cracker…
You are wrong. I am just the average White trying to crumble the rotten Cracker in me.

.

Are you an intimate partner abuser?
Get help, and leave others alone; it is your problem not theirs.

.

We cannot save everyone…
But start by helping someone, then someone else, then…

.

Inanity does run in the family.
Just ask Sean Hannity.

.

There is nothing more sublime than a deep, poetical rhyme.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the time so I can only do the bad limerick crime.

.

The 2nd Amendment is more vital than our First Amendment.
That’s because someone with a gun can make me agree with them.

.

If we must rely on our community to protect us, and not our own overwhelming firepower…
Why do we even have a Constitution, let alone a society, in the first place?

.

If you are unable to use a gun in your defense…
Then America cannot be held responsible for our proliferation of gun violence.

.

The reasons America is Exceptional, and other nations are not, include…
The ability to state our exceptionalism while not adding up all the reasons we are very much less than exceptional, at least in a good way.

.

I am not saying America is full of blowhards and boneheads…
Yet they pop up everywhere, all the time.

.

Americans who criticize America are often considered treasonous…
I would never criticize America or Americans until I held up my finger to see which way the wind was blowing. ☝️ And if you called me a traitor, I’d do similar in triplicate: 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

.

If Americans were unable to dissent on the most important issues…
We would be living under the tyranny of an autocrat like Trump.

Watchdogging That Makes The World That Goes Around Come Around.

Photo by   Brannon Naito   on   Unsplash . First published on Medium . . We must take the watchdog concept and process to a much greater level. No person, politician, party, or profit pursuer is immune from the influences of power. The facts are absolutely in. We all know of someone close who has failed to make the cut. If you are human, you have been tempted to take the   supposedly easier   path rather than fight the power, and even fallen short of perfection yourself. If you think your perfection is still solid, you may be less trustworthy with power than those who admit to a fall, or a fail. . Since transgressions of power will happen, with potential in every entity, our citizenship requires us to be massively more vigilant, and always strong when fighting the power is required. To accomplish this task, we need an extensively watchful, wary, skeptical eye doing the work, along with counteracting stature and influence. That solution is what I present below, between   linked vignette

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

Immigration: Righteous “Christian” Culmination, or Rights Humiliation?

Image
Photo by   Max Böhme   on  Unsplash First published on Medium . . When I complain about something my country is doing, I have been called a self-hating white person. These are damaging accusations. My feelings are easily hurt. A tear wells up, and… . I realize my situation is good compared to many, so someone calling me names, does not and should not phase me. Of course, they are incorrect about one thing, just looking at my sleeves they should see I suffer from Catholic guilt, and how long my purgatory sentence will be, not self hating. Yet, I have always thought that self hating, or guilt suffering is better than lacking an ethical framework, humanitarian values, or a moral backbone. . If I hear or read about another xenophobic white- christian -splaining the reason we should ban or harm immigrants, I will remind them of their horrible   other -hating. Something Christ did not do a lot of. Except for   screaming   “You damn do-gooder” at the Samaritan , Jesus was about loving your ne
