Whose Fault Is It That 2 NYPD Police Officers Were Murdered?
Whose fault is it that Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were murdered on Saturday while sitting in a patrol car?
I've heard the NYPD blame Protesters who were exercising their right to speak out about the Unjust Murders of Black Men and Black Women all across America.
I've heard Mayor De Blasio blamed because he spoke the truth about how Black Men including his son have to be taught Special Survival Techniques,(that White Men do not have to worry about)-in America.
I've heard the Civil Rights Leaders of the nation who are demanding that these Unjust Murders of all people by police across this nation STOP, blamed.
I've heard the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder blamed because he spoke the truth in a Historically Accurate Manner about the strained relationships between Black Communities and Police Forces around the country, that have resulted in the Murders of far too many Black Men and Women.
And what really pissed them off is the fact that he put the spotlight on how even he, has been Racially Profiled by Law Enforcement Officials and other members of White Society, even though he was a Federal Prosecutor at the time.
And of course, they blamed President Obama, (which is nothing new and really not a surprise at all), because he too, shined a spotlight on the Racial Issues that not only still exist in America, but that have been intensified by the fact that the election of Black Officials to Top Government Positions, (including President of the United States), has created a Sense of Fear and Loss of Complete and Total Control over people whom they deem Inferior and that they once had complete and total control over as a result of Institutionalized Racism.
All of these people who they are blaming for these police murders called for "Non-Violent Protests", (which is a Constitutional Right afforded to all Americans), for the unjust murders of all of the Black Men and Women who evidence has shown, did not need to be murdered and left on the streets for hours like dead animals, while Paramedics not only did not attempt to help them, but who acted like they did not even want to touch them, (with gloves on).
So is it these people's fault that these police offers were killed because they spoke the truth about the continuing Racial Injustice in this country that inspires Law Enforcement and others to commit Senseless Acts of Violence and Murder?
Are we supposed to just let our people be murdered while we remain silent waiting for our turn to die?
Because that's the message I am decoding in their blame of the people who are willing to speak out against the types of Gang Mentality Murders that we have seen with our own eyes far too frequently in the last 6+Years.
You want us to deny the existence of Racial Problems that have and continue to exist in this country as a result of this societies reluctance to openly and honestly put it on display and intelligently, peacefully and logically discuss these problems for the purpose of finding an effective solution that prevents further loss of Black People's lives/
That's not going to happen!
Now let me just pause here to say that isn't it funny how those on the right who regularly Spew Hatred and Racially Charged Subliminal Calls to Action for Violence against People of Color in this country including the President, cry foul when those who represent the Victims of Violence, (many times at the hands of Police,speak their minds for Victims who cannot speak for themselves any longer because they are dead?
Why is it that these people feel that they have the Right to attack people who are Demanding Justice for all People when one of "Their Own" are Murdered?
The answer to that question is simple and is the essence of the problems in America that those with Power, Authority and Hatred created in the first damn place:
In America, some lives matter and some don't.
The reality is that, (there are still too many people and institutions including the "Just Us System"), that believe that Black Lives and other Minority Lives are not as Precious or Important as theirs. But none of us can afford to have that point of view shoved down our throats if we want to survive as a race of people and as a nation.
I know nothing about the 2 police officers who were murdered-I don't know if they were "Good Cops" or "Bad Cops". I don't know if they were "Clean Cops" or "Corrupt Cops", but whatever the case may be; I am sure that their families, friends and communities are hurting just as bad as the families, friends and communities of those black men and woman who have been killed over the past 6+ years in a manner that very closely resembles the violence of the Jim Crow Era.
But even if they were corrupt-they still did not deserve to die.
They should have been Arrested, Charged and Prosecuted under the law, which is the same thing that should have happened to Michael Brown, Eric Garner and all of the Black Men and Women who we have witnessed, (many on video and on TV), being unmercifully beaten and or murdered.
But what I would like to remind everyone who is reading this of, is the fact that, not talking about the Hatred, Violence and Racism that has invaded the Consciousness of America over the past 6+years, (including its infiltration of our Governments and Paramilitary Organizations such as the Police who are supposed to Protect and Serve all citizens without favor), is that the last thing we need to do under any circumstances, is to stop talking about these problems and make pretend that they do not exist because those who are creating these conditions wants us to.
Because the reason that we have all of these Racial Problems which results in Escalating Violence in America is because we don't have Racial Problems and Escalating Violence in America, according to those who Promote, Practice and Participate in it.
We cannot and won't play that game.
All lives matter.
And that includes the lives of the 2 police officers who were killed by a mentally ill individual whose mental illness was not addressed while he was incarcerated by the Department of Corrections, which is the case with so many people who are incarcerated who are released after their punishment with no attempts at making sure that they are not a Menace to Society once released.
To the families and friends of Officers Liu and Ramos, (those involved in the movement for Positive Purposes), offer our deepest condolences for your lost, and hope that these losses like the losses that occurred before them, will lead to something that makes life better for all of us who live in this country.
And that cannot and will not happen without Open and Honest Discussions on the topics of Racism, Hatred and Greed on behalf of all those involved who want a better country and world.

The Black On Black Crime Diversion
This is the image that far too many God Damned Policeman see when they see a Black Person.
It doesn't matter where you are or what the circumstance are.
There are far too many policeman who joined the force for the express purpose of murdering Black People and using their position as a "Law Enforcement Officer" to get away with it.
And the way that the system is set up allows them to do exactly what they have been doing since they were first formed to catch Runaway Slaves and do whatever they wanted to do to them at their discretion.
First of all: This discussion is not about Black People Killing Black People, because "People Killing People" in close proximity to one another, is not a phenomenon that is exclusive to Black Folks.
People all over the world kill people who are just like them because when people live close to one another, sometimes murder happens-Not just Black People.
Its true that Black on Black Crime in our Communities is a major problem that we as African Americans must continue to address. But that is neither of interest or concern for people who do not even believe that Black People and other Minorities should not have a Right to Live, unless they live to occupy a Subservient Role in society under the White Man.
This discussion is about the Police Departments across America who are killing Black People on a large scale with Impunity, which is also encouraging Racists who hate Black People and other Minorities who are not "Law Enforcement Officers" to follow in their footsteps, because they see these Policeman getting away with murder, and they know that they too, will probably not be prosecuted for murdering people which the culture in this country considers to be "Inferior".
Their point of view is that for every one they kill, they are actually doing society a favor.
I've mentioned several tactics that White Racists use,(especially those who have infiltrated our Government), and the Media Outlets, (FOX News, Rush Limbaugh & Others)who support and redistribute their White Supremacy Fantasies to others, who as a result of Ignorance, Hate and Fear, receive this foolishness with Itching Ears and continue to perpetuate these myths to others who are blinded by HATE.
One of the most used of these techniques is the Racist Mirror Technique.
This is the one where Racist accuse you of being a Racist simply because you recognized their Racism and refuse to ignore it and because you did not hesitate to bring it to their attention.
It is based on an attempt to make Black People feel guilty and unsure of their expertise in recognizing and pointing out their Racist Tendencies.
So because you call a Racist a Racist, (because that's exactly what they are), their immediate gut reaction and response is to call you a Racist.
That's why I call it the "Racists Mirror Effect."
It has and continues to be used by Racists Senators, Congressman, Rightwing Media Personalities and other Racists who want to perpetuate the Fraud of "We have moved beyond Racism in America and that anyone who claims otherwise is just "Race Baiting".
Needless to say, this is an attack method that has been used consistently against President Obama whose Grandparents and Mother were WHITE.
Don't tell them-But for most Black People who have been Black in America all their lives; it does not work.
Another Technique that Racists have used for a very long time is the "Black On Black Crime Diversion Technique".
They use this one when we tell them that we are sick and tired of Policeman,White Racists and other people, (who are always on the lookout for an opportunity and excuse to Kill Black People and other Minorities).
The first response to these factual statements are similar to what Rudy Giuliani, (former New York Mayor), said to Professor Michael Eric Dyson a few weeks ago on "Meet The Press" when Dyson was attacking the police forces that have been involved in the Murders in New Your, Ferguson and in far too many place across the country where Black People and other Minorities have had their Civil Rights Violated by policeman and racists who have been emboldened by the behaviors of Racists in our Government, and by the fact that these Policeman and others who kill Minorities are very rarely punished for their crimes .
He said that if "you people" would stop killing each other, then we would not have to send the police into your neighborhoods.
Notice that there was never an acknowledgement or judgement that put the responsibility of murdering Unarmed Black People on the police and the others who are committing these violent acts, but it was, (as is always the case);the person who is dead and the other Black People who are still living in spite of these vicious attacks fault.
It's the same mentality that led New York Police Union Officials and others to say after a New York Policeman put Eric Garner in a Choke Hold that had been forbidden by the department for years, and who the prosecutor failed to indict-Again! How was the police supposed to know that Eric Garner was sick?
Any normal person would have survived the attack.
So it's not the policeman's fault for Choking a Black Man to death for selling lose cigarettes, (which so many corner stores in our communities), do everyday without any legal actions taken against them. But it was Eric Garner's fault because he should not have made the policeman choke him to death since he knew he was sick.
This is Bullshit and shows the level of contempt that the institutions in our country have for African Americans and other Minorities in America.
It is Proof Positive that BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER IN THIS COUNTRY, and that everyday we fail to take consistent actions to insure that people who kill Black People are punished for their crimes just like other people are punished for the Murders that they commit against people of other "More Valuable Races".
One more important point: I know that we have all been taught, (and rightfully so), by our parents and mentors that we have to be different when we are pulled over by "The Police" or stopped by "The Police" while walking the streets, because they will kill us quicker than other races of people, and that is true, (which is what makes this reality so sad).
However, I do not think that we should accept this concept of our lives, and the lives of our wives, kids, family members, (or for that matter any human being as being "INFERIOR", so that they can justify our Wholesale Murders.
So remember!
Don't wait for this type of tragedy to come to you or a loved one before you do your part to stop it.
Let's stop it together now.
Because if you don't; and you do become a victim of this type of violence-Think about what they are going to say about you when you, your child, your husband, your wife or a friend is dead:
"Its Your Fault".

Judge Jury & Executioner
Too all who believe that this country no longer has deeply rooted demons to slay, I can assure you that is a fantasy. There are still far too many demons alive and well in America, and unfortunately they are permeating our culture, lives and the fabric of our nation causing some very troubling occurrences that have the potential to erupt into a national situation that can destroy our country from within.
These situations are not new.
As a matter of fact, these deadly situations have never ceased to occur in spite of the National Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The reason why these violet attacks are so apparent now is not because Hateful, Racists People, (including those who have infiltrated out Local and National Governments),and obviously the people who are sworn to Protect and Serve us; but they are only more pronounced now due to Modern Technology like Cellphones and other Portable Digital Audio and Visual Recording Devices.
This same Technology has also created a 24 Hour Cable News Cycle that can communicate with the masses around the world in almost split second timing.
So there's been no change of heart.
It's just faster and easier to disseminate information around the country and the world now.
So, many of these Inhumane Violent Acts against People of Color that once remained in the dark are now being brought to the light.
Its sad that I don't have the time, space or memory to name all of the Black People; (Male & Female), (Young & Old) here in this article who have suffered at the hands of police and those who think they are police, but a few names do come to mind: Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
If anyone reading this has been paying attention to what has been going on in this country for the past 6+ Years, then you should not be shocked by what you are witnessing in America as far as African Americans and other Minorities being slaughtered are concerned.
Florida, New York,Ferguson, Cleveland, Phoenix and the list continues to grow on and on.
And guess what! This violence will continue until we as a race of people, we as fair minded human beings, (who by the very definition of being human), makes this type of violence against other human beings unacceptable to us; and until we as a nation stand up together and say NO! to Injustice, Inequality and the Legalized Murder of any human being; these demons will continue to eat us alive like a cancer.
The reason why this violence against Minorities is escalating is because those who are doing these things are emboldened by the behavior of those who are supposed to govern with common sense, concern for American Citizens and concern for human life on a fair and equal basis.
"Followers" follow leaders.
And if you take a look at many of the leaders who are currently working in our government and the way they have been treating "The Most Powerful Man On Earth",the President of the United States, these Racists who have still not accepted the fact that America elected and re elected the First African American President and who cannot accept the fact that their "Lilly White Utopia" is quickly fading away, are so filled with Hatred, Disgust and Racial Bias towards the President that it is spilling out into our cities, counties and country.
And unless you live under a rock or for some physical or mental reason you cannot think, observe and reason; you should probably know that the way that President Obama has been disrespected by those (who have been charged with the responsibility of working with the President to solve as many problems as possible), to make this a better country;their treatment of this president sets an all time high in lows for how a President of the United States of America is disrespected.
So if these Hateful Racists treat the President of the United States of America in this manner and he has Black Skin, then who cannot deduce that all of those who look like him or remind them of him or who support him are Targets for Hateful, Racist Murders By White People in and out of uniform.
Because don't forget that we have Block Watchers, and other White People filled with Hate killing Black people Young and Old, Male and Female as well as other minorities who look the same or similar to us.
When Prosecutors fail to prosecute those who commit these acts of violence towards other Human Beings because of the way that GOD created them; these Racists feel invincible and believe that they can continue to commit these acts of violence with impunity.
And why shouldn't they?
If they can go as long and as far as they have in treating our President like a Piece of Shit instead of the Commander In Chief of the United States of America, while we sit quietly watching and allowing it to continue without the kind of outrage from our community that these Racists deserve, then why should we be shocked and appalled at how emboldened they are to lie about the murder of Eric Garner which we have all seen with our own eyes?
Hell! We got madder over an NBA Team with a Racists Owner who spoke the truth about how he really feels about us in private, (like so many Racists do);but the only thing is, his remarks were made public which started a fire storm of protest from, NBA Officials, NBA Players, NBA Owners and Fans as well as every Media Outlet in the country and many around the world.
But doesn't the treatment of the First African American President who has done nothing different from any other White President before him under the law and in method, to try to keep this country alive, well afloat and "United" deserve just as much outrage, (if not more), than a sports franchise?
Since we have watched Republicans Shut the Government down, call the President a liar, talk about how he stinks, talk about his wife, his children, his parents, been called a Communists, a Nazi, a Socialists, a King, a Dictator and of course, (we all know in our hearts and minds what they call him behind closed doors-don't we?).
And then we turn around in 2014 and repeat the same mistakes that we made in 2010 that gave these Assholes the Majority in Congress again by either mistakenly voting to give these same Idiots more power over our country, or either by giving them votes because of the massive numbers of People of Color, (especially from our communities), who refused to get registered and vote or either were registered but still did not vote.
And though we talk a lot, as a matter of fact, (Too Much), we fail to take the smallest of steps to stop these incidents from occurring repeatedly on a consistent basis before the next one happens-Things like attending community meetings and voting and allowing our voices to be heard through Peaceful Protests, which are the very things that our Fore Parents did to make sure that we had better conditions and opportunities to live, grow and prosper than they did here in this country?
If we really want these murders to stop, then all fair minded individuals from all walks of life and from all races, cultures and religious beliefs need to ban together and take action.
We cannot just continue to Bitch & Moan about how things are; while failing to take the necessary actions to change them for the better.
Now obviously! This is not directed to the many thousands and thousands of people across America from all walks of life who know that until and unless, they take action now, eventually-this violence will come home to roost and will touch their lives or the lives of a loved one or loved ones, as these White Racists, Skin Heads and KKK Members and the Black Uncle Toms who work together with them and hear no evil, see no evil or speak no evil become even more emboldened because not enough people whose lives are at risk, wait for "Someone" to do something.
I am so proud of this country for uniting to fight against a Police State and a Plantation Master's Government, which is the direction that the Rightwing Hate Machine in America has been trying to push us into for as far back as I can remember.
I'm speaking to those who continue to sit back on their asses saying over and over that "Someone has got to do something".
This is just a reminder that, that "Someone Is You".
If you are healthy and can get out in the streets and protest with those who are already there, than please do so.
If not, then just do something! Even if it is no more than teaching our young men and woman about our history in this country and how that history was changed for the better by the same things that the people all over the country are doing in response to all of these Assaults, Rapes, Murders and Random Acts of Violence, "Because I Feared For My Life".
And please be aware of the fact that, either through direct ballot or a failure to cast a vote-these people who are now in control of the House and the Senate, because for some Stupid Ass Reason, we think that Midterm Elections are not important, are the very same people who are sympathetic to this type of Racial Hatred.
As a matter of fact, these are the people who created the laws that are taking away our Right to Vote, our Pensions, our Retirement Benefits, our Employee Benefits, our Wage Increases our Children's Schools, our Children's Lunch Programs, our Democratic Activists Organizations and who created the laws that are allowing far too many Policeman and those who are emboldened by Policeman "Getting Away With Murder", to do so themselves without being punished.
These people are Racists who are looking for an excuse to kill people whom they think are Inferior to them and whom they believe do not have a right to live, (let alone be President of "Their Country").
And we let them because of our Silence and Inaction.
And guess what!
The Racial Hatred in this country especially towards African Americans and towards other Minorities to a slightly lesser degree, is so Deeply Rooted in the DNA of this country as a result of hundreds of years of Systematic White Supremacy and White Privilege, which means that these people will continue to kill more and more people that they hate, until those of us who do not want that, join the movement that is now underway in America to prevent these people from destroying all the progress that people who they once considered, Ignorant, Stupid, Unable to Learn and just plain INFERIOR have made over the past 60 + Years.
And their greatest fear was realized when the First African American President, (Barack Obama)was elected in 2008.
This is what created this new level of Hatred, Racism and Greed among Racists in America who never stopped being Racists, but instead, remained silent while they did their dirt behind the scenes.
What brought them out into Mainstream Society was the election and then re-election of President Obama.
They did not want their children to not continue to believe their teachings about other races of people being inferior to White People, and therefore, a Black Man could never be President of these United States.
These people will never have a change of heart,unless we ban together an rip their hearts out either figuratively or literally.
If you want them stopped, then you have to do your part with thousands of others around the country to stop them.
Please do it now.
We have already given them far too much power, and by now, we should all know just how dangerous and deadly that is.
Lets stop them together using our Individual Creativity and Talents, Strengths, our Will to Live and our refusal to lay down and die, so that they can have what they think is "Their Country" and "Their Country Alone".
Our Fore Parents had it much worst than what we are seeing now.
Certainly we can stop them in their tracks before we become our Fore Parents and live under the same Inhumane and Deplorable Conditions that they had to live under.
But they survived anyway.
And I know that because, we are all here.
If you are currently Apathetic, you need to protect that legacy and stop turning a blind eye, closed heart and dull mind to the realities of Hatred and Racism that exist in this country and get up and get involved before the next tragedy becomes yours.
Thank you,

Darren Wilson Found Innocent
I hope that I am wrong about this.
But historically speaking, based on laws that statistically do not prosecute Police Officers, (especially those who kill Black People and other Minorities), and all of the unconventional, secretive and cover up tactics that have been used to keep Darren Wilson out of jail; it seems as if the deck has been stacked against the families, friends and fellow citizens of Michael Brown, who was killed on August 9, 2014.
On top of that, the Grand Jury only needs a 9 to 3 decision to either have an Acquittal or an Indictment against Darren Wilson, who has been allowed to continue receiving pay while on leave after the shooting, which according to over 7 witnesses have testified to the shooting being a Murder of an Unarmed Men who had his hands up to surrender.
Their testimonies have been totally ignored by the Prosecutor, the Police Chief, the Mayor and the Governor, which is really quite amazing to me and to everyone else who has been paying attention.
And let's talk about that 9 to 3 decision for a moment.
The composition of the Grand Jury is made up of 6 White Men, 3 White Woman and 3 Black Woman.
Now this appears to be a deliberate and calculative formula that favors a Successful Acquittal of Darren Wilson and a Vindication of all the Racist who run this town, (or should I say Plantation).
And the fact that the Governor has already announced a State of Emergency in Ferguson almost 2 weeks ago, which has allowed him to activate the National Guard,it kind of seems like they already know what the verdict is, and that they are already anticipating what protesters will do after that verdict is revealed to the public.
Everything that has occurred since Michael Brown was shot on August 9, just smells of a cover up, including the fact that they left his body in the street for hours after the shooting, which I considered to be and example of Ferguson Officials making an example of Michael Brown.
And I know that to tarnish his Humanity, they released a video of Michael Brown taking Cigars and pushing a clerk in a store.
So granted, that was illegal, so Michael Brown should have been arrested and tried-Not Murdered in Cold Blood.
The bottom line is the stalling, the cover ups, the lack of transparency and the many other Unconventional and Suspicious Legal Maneuvers on the part of Ferguson Officials, seems like a Preconceived Plan to let this man get away with the Cold Blooded Murder of Michael Brown, and in a few hours we will find out if that is true.

Thanks For Responding To These Network's CEO's Who Did Not Want To Broadcast President Obama's Speech Tonight......
This would have been a National Insult of Major Proportions.
No President has ever given an Important Address to the nation and not have it televised.
This is another example of the Pure Hatred that I am always trying to make Americans who don't have this kind of Pure Hated in their hearts see and react and respond to; and today America did.
And I'm am thankful that you did.
You can still tighten the screws by contacting these networks prior to the President's Speech tonight at 8:00 PM,and let them know how displeased you are for them even considering not broadcasting something with this much National Importance attached to it.
Their phone numbers and Twitter handles are:
• ABC: 212-456-7777; @abcnetwork
• CBS: 212-975-4321; @cbs
• NBC: 212-664-4444; @nbc
• FOX: 310-369-3553; @foxtv
Note: FOX is not answering there telephones on allowing voicemail to be left.
Imagine that!
If we continue to allow America to slip into the direction that the Rightwing Conservative Movement in America wants it to, then there will be no country left when all is said, done and destroyed.
No body is going to, nor should they lay down for this type of SHIT
It will destroy us all.
Immigrants: Republicans Do Not Want You Here.
As usual, there have been so many soft shoe routines by politicians over the last 6 years since President Obama was elected to office, and this is what makes 'Change" so difficult.
Because, before you can fix anything-you have to admit that there really is a problem that requires time, energy, effort and thought to correct.
You know what I mean! Problems like Hatred, Racism and Greed.
Now I am not just accusing one party or race or class of people of these very real and human emotions and points of view,(because clearly there is enough hate to go around on both sides of the fence), but I will say this; as Bill Maher so aptly puts it: "I'm not saying that all Republicans are Racists, I am just saying that if you are a Racists, you are most likely a Republican".
Now I know that there are some White People who are reading this who are chomping at the bit and jumping up and down yelling "I'm not a Racist"."I have Black Friends"., or "I have Black People in my family", (not mentioning the fact that those Black Family Members are members of their family who their sons or daughters chose, but who they absolutely did not and do not approve of, and who will not be sitting at their dinner table come Thanksgiving).
This is a true indication of Racists trying to prove that their not Racists, because Racism is supposed to be so taboo now.
But taboo or not, Racism is alive and well in America, and it doesn't matter how many White People want to deny its existence because they see it as a bad reflection on them individually and or them as a race of people.
And it doesn't matter how many Black People and other Minorities want to deny it so that they don't have to deal with it, or try to eliminate or at least minimize its ugly effects on our "Modern Society"
Racism and Hatred are real,their destructive, their dominating our political system and there are no signs of them slowing down as long as their is a Black President in the White-house-or a Female Clinton.
That's a FACT Jack!
Hatred and Racism are real.
Now Illegal Immigrants: I know that you are mad as hell at President Obama for delaying his Executive Actions on Immigration Reform, but the fact of the matter is: that even though he did delay his promised actions on Immigration Reform prior to the 2014 Midterm Elections, (which I regrettably admit), rather he or his administration is willing to admit, that this was a Political Decision to appease a very small number of Democrats from Racist States, (who really don't want you here), who lost anyway, because people hate fakes, (especially when it comes to the people they elect in the hopes that these people will do everything they can to make their lives better).
So even though you are are mad at President Obama, (as you should be), for delaying his actions on Immigration, he is at least trying to keep his promise to one segment of society that helped to get him elected in 2008 and 2012.
So tonight at 8:00 PM, I hope you will tune in to listen to President Obama's address to the nation on the subject of his Executive Actions to do what he can within his legal authority to help you remain here and to become as legal citizens of this great nation that has been a nation of immigrants every since thousands and thousands of American Indians were Raped, Slaughtered and Killed, because the First Illegal Immigrants wanted what was rightfully theirs, which is the land where we all live now which they named America.
The same land that was also built up by African Slaves for free, who are still fighting after generations to be equal citizens of the United States.
Yes! We as African Americans are legal, but we are far from being equal.
So Please understand that what you want and what the President can deliver legally and realistically are 2 different things.
And please also know that he is taking some Political Risks to even try to make it legal for you to stay in America and keep your families together, (which is the human thing to do).
He is putting his legacy on the line to do what he can to help you.
So if you are still mad at the President for making what I believe was an (Ill Advised Political Move), putting the many at risk for a few, then I want you to really wake up and look at what the Republicans are doing for you-NOTHING!
Why?
Because there are already too many Black, Brown, Yellow and Red People here in America for them, because they are Racial Separatists and Racial Supremacists, and have been for quite some time, (them being Republicans).
So they don't want you here, because you are a threat to their grip on Money, Resources and mainly their Political Power, which they will fight tooth and nail to hold on to at any costs.
So let's get it straight!
It's not President Obama and most of the Democrats who don't want you here-It's the Republicans, because your presence (in their eyes), is a threat to their "Lilly White Man's Society", that has been and is already crumbling because it is Human Nature for every person to want to be free and to prosper and make a living that helps them to feed and protect their families and loved ones.
But Republicans are the kind of people that believe that these benefits should only be available to them, because they always have been.
It's also important to note that anything the President implements tonight as far as Executive Orders go for Immigration Reform, are only going to be Partial and Temporary.
Only Congress can bring about the total and permanent changes that you seek.
Not the President.
And should anyone not understand that, then please learn or relearn how the branches of the U.S. Government operate in accord,(or since President Obama was elected), discord with one another.
So if you want Total and Permanent Immigration Reform, get the hell off of the President's back and have his back, so that together we can all fight to have what is our right as not just Americans, but as Human Beings.
The target should not be President Obama.
The targets should be those Hateful, Greedy, Racists Republicans.
So don't just listen to what Republicans say-watch what they do, and then direct your anger, disgust and mistrust towards the ones who are really creating all of these problems for Average American Citizens who they do not, and never will consider their equals, and all Illegal Immigrants who want to stop being exploited by American Businesses as Cheap Labor without any rights to Citizenship and Protection Under American Law.
Please remember that President Obama is also under attack by these same Racists that are attacking you, because he is the First African American President, and they hate him too, and vowed to never work with him from day one.
Take it out on the God Damned Republicans in Congress if you want Immigration Reform.
Listen to this song about Republicans entitled HATE!
It's who they are.

Prevent Republicans From Shutting Down The Government-Again!
Your response to this petition has been great, but don't stop signing now just because we are not in the final hours heading into another Government Shutdown, (or are we?).
There is one being planned for the very near future.
So we want to have this petitions signed, sealed and delivered when Republicans try to destroy this country again just because they hate the president.

Post Election Analysis
After a very disappointing defeat for Democrats in the 2014 Midterm Elections, now comes begins the "Blame Game".
First of all you need to know that historically speaking, what happened in the 2014 Midterm Elections was not only predictable but imminent.
And although I was working hard towards changing history for the better like we as a country did in 2008 and then again in 2012 by electing and reelecting President Obama, I knew that if we did not put forth that same kind of effort, energy and hope for change that we did then, I knew that President Obama and the Democratic Party was at severe risk of a severe lost if we didn't-and we didn't.
Here's why:
Second-Term Midterm Results of Recent Presidents
Total legislature loss is a recent phenomenon; although, Cleveland and Grant also lost both houses during their second term mid-term elections. This is the midterm results of every two-term president since Eisenhower:
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Republican
1959 midterms
Senators lost: 13
US Reps lost: 48
Result: Arguably, the worst second-term midterm election result for a recent president. The slim Democratic majority in both houses enlarged to an overwhelming majority. The Democrats would maintain this lead until the 1981 midterms, 22 years later.
Ronald Reagan
Republican
1987 midterms
Senators lost: 8
US Reps lost: 5
Result: Reagan lost the senate and increased his losses in the US House.
Bill Clinton
Democrat
1999 midterms
Senators lost: 0
US Reps lost: 3
Result: Clinton lucked out with the best second-term midterm election result. He already had both houses against him going into the midterms.
George W. Bush
Republican
2007 midterms
Senators lost: 6
US Reps lost: 33
Result: Bush lost both houses of Congresses. It should be noted that officially the Senate was 49-49 after the elections; however, the two independent senators in the new congress would vote with the Democrats.
Barack Obama
Democrat
2014 midterms
Senator +/- range: 5 to 8 losses
US Reps +/- range: 6 to 9 losses
Possible result: Even with loses in the Senate, if Obama can manage to lose only five senators, then he will still maintain a lead in the Senate, as Joe Biden will be the tie-breaking vote in the event of a 50-50 vote.
It should also be noted that these loses in the midterms were never undone in the elections two years later; although, Clinton was able to get a tie in the senate. If all trends continue, then the 2016 midterm elections will probably end with Republican leads in both houses.

Since I did not just become involved in the 2014 Midterm Elections when they started approaching, I have been monitoring the Toxic Political Environment every since President Obama began running while he was still Senator Obama.
And the one thing that I knew instinctively just from my experience with RACISM from the time that I was a child into adulthood, (while living in the Northern part of the country where Racism was not supposed to be as prevalent as it was in the South),is that those personal experiences allowed me to know (all to well), about the Animosity and Hatred that White Racist People can sling at Black People and other Minorities who start to do things that they think they have the right to determine rather these members of Minority Groups should or should not be doing.
It happened with Jackie Robinson
It happened with Althea Gibson
Arthur Ashe
Hank Arron
The Venus Sisters
Tiger Woods
And a multitude of other Minorities who "Do Not Know Their Place", (as if GOD assigned these Racists to supervise our places in life).
So when I first heard that Senator Obama was going to run for president, I knew that it would not be long before these Ignoramuses would start to put their hatred into action and on full display for anyone with a heart, a brain and eyes to see.
And they certainly did.
They immediately started a campaign to destroy this man's Presidency even before he was legally elected, up to and including the night of his inauguration when while he was dancing with his wife at the various Inaugural Balls, they were just blocks away plotting to undermine and sabotage his Presidency before he was even sworn in.
What method did they finally choose to accomplish this destruction?
They chose to do nothing,(Absolutely Nothing!), which they knew would tear this country apart and make the President a failure.
As a matter of fact, Rush Limbaugh, (The True Leader of the Republican Party), said that "I hope he fails".
And he never wavered in his efforts to make President Obama a "Failure".
Shortly after this mandate from Super Racist Rush Limbaugh, FOX News, (The main source of information for these Racists, Hateful Low Information White Voters in the country), began to become a megaphone for this goal which all Racists agreed was more important than helping this man to help the country.
As a matter of fact, Mitch McConnell who is now the Majority Leader thanks to the Major Defeat of Democrats in the Midterms boldly proclaimed that' "Our goal is to make this President a One Term President".
Not jobs, not education, not immigration , not programs to help the sick, the poor, the disadvantaged or infrastructure repair, national security, financial institution reform and definitely now healthcare.
Just that they make President Obama a One Term President.
So they deliberately refused to work with President Obama on any of the issues listed above as well as refused to work with him on anything that would be of benefit to the people of this country; (even the ones who blindly and stupidly give these Racist their full attention, devotion and support); (many times voting against their own best interests), because hurting themselves is more important than helping the First African American President to help them and the country as a whole.
Then they launched a continuous publicity campaign to convince the American People that the lack of progress that we were experiencing was the result of the President's and Democrats's Gridlock and Obstruction, when in fact, it was them who were doing it all the long and blaming the President and Democrats for it.
So this is the first point of blame to be placed, which is the Racist Republican Party Members who could not stand to see a Black Man in the White House, because it showed that Barack Obama "Did not know his place".
Next comes the Democratic Leadership, who failed to support, protect and assist this president in pushing his message of Economic Stability, Safety and Security for our nation and consistent growth for all of America's Citizens, regardless of their Race, Religion, Economic Status or Who they loved.
The Democratic Leadership has also failed to update their Antiquated Messaging System to reach a whole new group of new voters-young, old, black, white etc.
We often accuse the Republicans of not being modern or current, but yet, we are still using the same Political Messaging Systems and Ads that have been used for political campaigns since radio and TV were invented; and using them to target the same people that we've always targeted them to-Registered Voters and Likely Voters, which leaves far too many people out of the fold.
And Democrats never ever, ever match the Republicans Blow for Blow, which is why we are so ineffective at countering the Dirty Tactics that they use, which includes doing Anything to win rather its Legal, Illegal, Moral or Immoral.
We can't win elections and make sure that the Democratic Party not only survives but thrives, if we continue to fail to match the Republican's Intensity and Evil.
So I blame the Democrats for allowing Republicans to successfully pull off this Racism and Misinformation Campaign by once again; (as they did in 2010, which was a very stupid thing to do again); distancing themselves from the President and his Accomplishments and theirs.
The next element in the analysis of course are the people-Those who were registered to vote and didn't, and especially those who didn't register or vote,
In the 2014 Midterms only 13% of voters 18-29 voted nationwide.
In the 2014 Midterms only 12% of African Americans voted nationwide.
In the 2014 Midterms only 8% Of Latinos voted nationwide.
In the 2014 Midterms only 37% of Seniors voted nationwide.
The Democratic Party cannot win Midterm Elections with numbers like these,
But guess what?
Republicans knew damn well what they wanted and needed and what they had to do to get it, and they did it, with very little opposition from the people listed above.
Now part of this Participation Problem is related to the Democratic Leadership's Failure to utilize New and Effective Messaging that speaks to this new generation.
And I warned the Democratic Congressional Committee way back in April of 2014, as well as some Local Democratic Leaders of the dangers in not countering the Republicans Negative Messaging that involved Inaccurate, Harsh and Dishonest Lies about the President and the Democratic Party.
Obviously! THE DEMOCRATS DIDN'T LISTEN.........
The other part of this participation problem is just Apathy, Laziness, Disregard for the people who died so that we could have the (Right to Vote) and the inability or lack of desire to learn and participate in activities that either directly or indirectly affect the quality of the life that they live.
Then there are also those who don't care about the quality of the life that they live, and therefore see absolutely no need to participate in the Democratic Process of Voting.
Even though this group may appear to be a "Lost Cause",I think its still worth a try to reach out to them as well, because you never know when something you say or do will open someone's eyes, hearts and minds and give them a reason to want to change their lives for the better by participating in Civic Minded Activities,including Voting and Political Activism after the elections.
And finally! I just do not trust the accuracy and validity of the "Republican Landslide", because I am thoroughly familiar with the Nature of the Beast.
As I said above, Republicans are people who are not particularly honest or fond of Black People and other Minorities, and they also have a history of stealing elections through some very questionable tactics, (one of which has been used on a national basis for at least the past 6 years); that being Voter Suppression, which I am sure played a major part in the manipulation of the Midterm Mathematics.
And there is also the issue of Gerrymandering Districts in their favor so that no matter how Insane, Hateful. Racist or Dangerous their Political Rhetoric is, they are still guaranteed a win in their Primary Elections.
And then when the National Elections come, they try to fool the Vast Majority of Americans other than those Ignoramuses in their local districts that they didn't say this or that or that they said it but, they meant something totally different.
Of course, the American People did not fall for this BS in 2008 or 2012, and I certainly hope that we educate as many people as possible between now and 2016, so that the American People on a National Basis will not fall for this BS in 2016 either.
This is why Democrats need to STOP relying on just Registered Voters and Likely Voters and implement a National Program that is designed to Consistently Recruit New Voters to replace registered voters who cannot get Voter ID's because they were born before paper of digital records were kept, and because of these New Fake Voter ID Laws that were never an issue as long as we had White Presidents, or to replace those voters who die,(as we all know will happen), and to replace those who are not voting or those who vote inconsistently or those voters who suddenly stop voting for whatever reason.
Voter Recruiting must be a continuous process that runs at some pace before, during and after the elections.
We cannot afford to continue to ignore the fact that voter numbers constantly change for many reasons, and that we as a party, need to have a plan in place to consistently replenish our voters.
And please Democrats! Stop waiting until 2 weeks before the election to hit the Progressive Airwaves in America.
2 weeks before an election is way too late to change the hearts and minds of people who don't see a reason to vote, refuse to vote and to get unregistered voters registered.
Preparation for the 2014 Midterm Elections should have started in 2011 after the 2010 Shellacking that the Democrats suffered back then, which I thought was the worst possible outcome until I lived through the 2014 Midterm Elections.
And to all Racists Democrats or those of you who are not Racist but who want to cater to the Racists in their Racists States and Districts- Remember this very important point: You cannot deny your association with the First African American President and then expect to get the African Americans to vote for you.
Do Not! insult our intelligence.
Your intellect is not superior to ours as human beings, and we are insulted when you don't acknowledge The First African American President by totally disassociating yourselves from him to impress the Super Racist from your states and Districts.
When it comes to Elections and being a Democrat, you either believe in American and Democratic Values for all of America's Citizens or you don't.
If you don't believe that all Americans should be given an equal opportunity to have a decent safe life in America, then you need to be a Republican.
And you can't turn your back on President Obama without turning your back on us, and then thinking that we are going to forget what you did, and then reward you for it.
This is the same mistake that you idiots made in 2010, and you turned right around and did it again in 2014.
You didn't show him respect or acknowledge his accomplishments or yours as Democrats.
And people don't respect people who don't stand for something; especially if it is something that benefits them.
But they do respect people who do stand for something, (even if they disagree with you).
In that case, you may not get our vote, but oh yea!
That's right!
You lost anyway!
Didn't you?
Democrats need to be Democrats always.
You cannot run as a Democrat and act like a Republican because you are in the middle of an election campaign.
And Democrats need to fight fire with fire.
And for all of you Democrats and Voters who are looking for anything to change now because Republicans now hold a majority in Congress-Let me ask you something:
Have Republicans done anything but lie, cheat, steal, delay, deny, obstruct and create gridlock in Washington, DC for the past 6 years?
Yes!
And is the President still Black?
Yes!
So if there are not more Republicans with power now, doesn't it follow that now there will be more of what we already had for the past 6+years?
Yes!
So listen up Democrats: You didn't fight the fight that you needed to fight before the 2014 Midterm Election; so now you better be prepared to match Republicans Blow for Blow, or just fold up the tent and go home and give them the country and the world to destroy.

Education, Registration, Organization, Continuation
That's what my parents did to give me the Freedom and Benefits that I have now that were not present during their time; just like their parents took steps to make the lives of my parents better than theirs was.
All the way back to slavery.
If it were not for the things that our Fore Parents and Ancestors did to survive, rather you were dragged here on a ship or rather you came voluntarily as an immigrant searching for "The American Dream"; our previous generations made tremendous sacrifices up to and including death so that the next generation could be better off than they were.
I hope that all of the efforts and sacrifices that these people all made for us will come to fruition as the polls close tonight.
The choices are very simple:
1. You can refuse to vote which will give your decision to someone else.
2. You can vote for Republicans and align yourself with people who want to take away everything that our fore parents worked so hard to achieve for us, which means that you probably bought into the Bullshit that makes you think that President Obama refused to work with Republicans in Congress and that is why the country is so messed up.
When in fact, the truth is just the opposite of what Republicans are saying, (and usually is).
Republicans made up their minds a long time ago that they were going to cause President Obama to fail because he was the First African American President, and that the way they were going to do this was to just say no to everything that he proposes, (even if it was originally their own idea).
And there are some who say that we need to get him out so that Washington can work again.
But if you buy into that, than you are buying into and accepting RACISM as a Standard Accepted Practice in all aspects of American Life.
If you choose that, than even though you may not see the consequences of that personally right now-trust me! It will come back to bite you in the ass eventually.
3. Or, you can just get out and fight for the people who have been fighting for the majority of people in this country who are not Rich, Powerful or Well Connected-That would be Democrats.
Doing so, will give us a better chance at continuing with the successes and progress that President Obama and other Democrats have been working on for over 50 years now.
So it's really quite that simple:
Move Forward!
Or, Go Backwards......
The power is in your hands today, but will be gone in the morning.
Take control now and VOTE.
Thank you,

What Republicans Really Want For America?
What is the Negative Impact of African Americans, Woman, Seniors and Young People not Voting for Democrats in these Midterm Elections?
Let's start with this one fact, which is a fact rather you know it or not, or rather you acknowledge it or not: If Democrats lose then we all lose.
"We" being the people who are Not Rich, Not Powerful and Not Well Connected to the Rich and Powerful.
"We" are Average American Citizens on different levels of the Social Ladder,(including your's truly),who are always looking for programs, services and support that can help us to improve upon life in many of the most important areas of our life like, Health, Happiness, Financial Security and Opportunities that are Fair to everyone who is willing to do the Hard Work and Make the Necessary Sacrifices to Succeed.
If Democrats lose the Senate, then the Balance of Power will be nonexistent.
If Democrats lose the House and keep the Senate, then the Hateful, Racists Obstruction of the President will continue.
Ultimately! We need to Increase Our Numbers In The Senate and Completely Take Over The House.
Now I know that if you have been listening to the Political Statisticians and Analyst and even our Democratic Leaders, they all claim that taking both Houses of Congress is damn near impossible, but let me tell you why they think that.
It's because first of all, Republicans have systematically implemented a complex and deceptive program of Voter Suppression all over the country that has been quite effective in reducing the number of voters that come out and vote for Democrats.
This Voter Suppression System has also redrawn many districts that once used to contain many Democratic Voters and turned them into districts that are mostly Republican.
This is why Republicans have been so bold in their Hate Speak against Minorities, Seniors, Young People the Poor, and yes the President.
They say very hateful things during the times when they are running in their own districts,(hoping you are not paying attention), then once they feed their base with hatred, (which they all eat up so willingly), when they reach the National Level of Political Competition, then they try to walk back all of the Racists and Hateful and Greedy things that they said, and they try to make you forget about the legislation that they all supported to make sure that things go their way.
In other words, they lie to the American People even beyond what a Normal Politician would.
Now they are so Deceptive that they even convince the people who follow them with no teeth, no healthcare, no future and those who live in rundown housing properties out in Rural America, that they have their best interest at heart, and then when the elections are over and they've convinced these Poor People to vote for them, they forget about them again, and then go back to catering to Rich and Powerful People and Corporations.
So what Republicans will have the ability to do if we lose in the Midterm Elections is to:
1. Impeach President Obama, (for no other reason than the fact that he is BLACK and they Hate Him).
2. Destroy the efforts to increase the Minimum Wage, (so that their Rich Friends and Corporations), can make people work for nothing and split the savings with them.
3. Take away a Woman's Right to Control Her Own Body.
4. Further reduce Fair and Equal Opportunities for Minorities.
5. Take away millions of people's Healthcare by Repealing Obamacare.
6. Destroy efforts to take care of the Sick, the Poor and the children who fall into these categories.
7. Make it legal for Police Officers and Regular White Citizens to kill Black People and other Minorities which they are afraid of because they know that these populations will soon be considered The Majority.
8. Continue to block the President's Jobs Bill.
9. Continue to block President's Efforts to fix our Crumbling Roads, Bridges, Streets and Highways, (which also creates jobs and economic growth).
10. Set African Americans and other Minorities in this country back by 50 years and beyond.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is at stake during these Midterm Elections, if you, me and everybody else does not get out and vote to protect the Democratic Majority.
Now I know that many of you have heard Democrats from Racists States trying to distance themselves from the President, but please to all of you who reside in these states where these candidates have turned their back on the President, please vote for them anyway-because even these Democrats will be easier to manage within the Democratic Party than Republicans if they win.
One more thing, don't fall for President Obama's "Low Approval Ratings".
It's not true that he is not doing a good job with what he has had to work with and who he has had to work with; it's just another trick that people like the Koch Brothers and other Rich Racists, and Networks like FOX News have created and have sold to far too many Unsuspecting Citizens.
Here's the truth: The Republicans who we are trying to vote out of congress during these Midterm Elections have refused to do their jobs, and have done everything that they could to make you believe that it's the president's fault.
Don't fall for this!
Get out and Vote these Bastards for good.

A Message To All Democrats! The Senate Should Be A Consolation Prize Not The Goal
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT WE MADE IN THE 2010 MIDTERM ELECTIONS BY NOT TURNING OUT TO VOTE..............
Don't get me wrong,because I am indeed a Lifelong Democrat who believes in and supports the Democratic Party and the Democratic Values that they represent.
And I do believe that a Democratic Victory across the board would be the most advantageous outcome for the country as a whole come this November 4, 2014 and beyond.
However, as my knowledge of politics and my experiences with politics, (especially in the current Toxic Political Environment),has increased, I've learned that one of those values that used to be attractive and effective for Democrats is now outdated and ineffective as a result of the tactics and scams which are so adequately deployed by the New Ultra Conservative Rightwing Hate Movement which came our of the cracks of our nations deepest and darkest recesses where Racism and Hatred had been lying in wait for such an event, as the one that occurred on November 4, 2008, which was the "Legal Election" of the First African American President, Barack Obama.
It is important to note that even though the misinformed or those suffering from Intense Racial Denial believe or believed that Racism was dead in America, was and is sadly mistaken.
Racism didn't die, it just became more sophisticated and as a result, more deceptive.
Just because the Language of Racism is not as obvious as it used to be, and just because you don't hear the Racial Epithets that I remember hearing on a daily basis, does not mean that the Hatred, Fear and Ignorance that fuels Racism is dead. Therefore, Racism in America has never been and is not dead.
It just went underground and the Racist started to Discriminate in less obvious ways, but in ways that none the less were harmful to Minorities,(especially The Most Notable and Hated Minority Group of them all in America): Black People.
This is evident in all of the Unjustifiable Assaults and Murders of many of our Black Men and Woman and the laws that were implemented and passed by Racists Politicians that make it possible for these Attackers and Murderers to commit these Inhumane Acts without prosecution-Laws like "Stand Your Ground" or the "Castle Doctrine".
And than there is the matter of the Gross Injustices experienced by Black People who commit the same or lesser crimes as White People who are forced by the Criminal Justice System to serve more time for the same or lesser crimes.
White People smoke just as much Marijuana as Black People do, but for some reason, Black People are convicted far more frequently than White People and face longer sentences than do White People.
A prime example of these types of injustices is George Zimmerman who stalked, hunted and murdered Trayvon Martin in Florida after Police Officials told him not to.
George Zimmerman is still free and still getting in trouble with the law and still free.
But, Marissa Alexander who was a repeated victim of Domestic Violence in the same State of Florida, is facing 20 years for shooting a warning shot in the air to try and scare her abusive husband so that he would not attack her again.
Now what's wrong with this picture?
If you don't know the answer, than I am obviously not talking to you.
However, for those who are paying attention, (especially those of you who are considered to be Democratic Leaders), I say to you that, Meekness, Humbleness and Settling for Less are not Democratic Values that will serve us well against the enemy who seeks to destroy us and all of the progress that we have made as Democrats for more than 60 years now.
These Democratic characteristics are clearly on display as demonstrated by the Primary Mandate for this Midterm Election which is to "Keep the Senate".
How hard are we willing to work to fight for what we believe in and to take it all.
The Mandate should be to increase our numbers in the Senate and to take back the House, (which is where the real Hatred and Racism is stopping this country and the President from creating jobs, improving our educational systems, rebuilding our infrastructure, helping our poor citizens, taking care of our sick people and to making sure that anyone can afford healthcare services), which is an undeniable human need, just like air, water, food, shelter and clothing.
I know that accomplishing these things are hard, but their not impossible. And in fairness to the Leadership of the Democratic Party, many of these low level goals of the Democratic Party are based on their knowledge of the failure of the people who have the most to lose who refuse to get up off their asses and vote, and then follow through after the elections by attending meetings, making their wants, needs and desires known to those who oppose us and then teaching others to do the same.
So the victims of the system as it currently exists has to do their part as well, to bring about the "Change" that we claimed we wanted when we supported the election of President Obama in 2004 and then reelected him again in 2012.
Don't ever forget that President Obama did not run on change he can believe in.
He ran on "Change We Can Believe In".
It's never been just about President Obama, (and he has made that clear time and time again).
It has always been about you!
So to Democratic Leaders I say, lets make keeping the Senate a Consolation Prize and not the goal.
The goal is keeping the Senate and taking back the House from the Racists who are destroying this country.
To all Registered Voters, I say, please exercise your right to vote on November 4, 2014, and even if you missed the deadline to register to vote, help seniors, sick people, the disabled and others who cannot get to the polls to get there so that they can vote.
And then please! Recognize the Enthusiasm and Determination of the sick, the elderly and the disabled people who know how important it is for them to vote for the Government that they want to serve them and the removal of those in Government who don't.
And then get registered to vote yourself for future elections and then all of you can vote together, which may just give the Democratic Leadership the Confidence they need to fight to take it all; like our opponents the Republicans always do.

3 Prime Examples Of Why It's Not About Black & White-It's About Wrong & Right
People Of All Kinds Are Working Together To Save America
Thank You Jody Wesby, Esquire, for defending the legal and human rights of this Innocent Disabled Man.
You are a True American Citizen in every sense of the word, and deserve to be recognized.
If it had not been for your Civic Activism, this situation could have ended in a very bad way, as has been witnessed across the country when it comes to the murder of Unarmed Black People.
If one would examine the dynamics involved in this situation as well as the participants:, (1 Black Male Police Officer, 1 Black Female Police Officer and 1 White Civic Minded Neighbor who just happened to be an attorney who knew the homeless man); you will find that this is a perfect example of a Social Studies Case Study of America and the power and dynamics of race and class struggles as they currently exist in Post Civil Rights America.
In the second example, police allow a suspect who is already in custody on the ground handcuffed, to be attacked by a Vicious Dog trained to kill.
It's not important that this suspect was White.
What matters is, that this man was already safely in custody and should have been arrested, tried and prosecuted for his crime(s).
And in spite of the fact that Ferguson Police used a video showing Michael Brown robbing a store, taking cigars and pushing and shoving the store owner or an employee as sought of a justification for his Murder, (a murder for which the police offer who is guilty is still free),the point is that once a suspect is subdued and or in custody, than the police according to the laws of this country do not have the authority to be Judge, Jury and Executioner.
They are supposed to place these individuals under arrest so that the American Justice System, (which I agree has far too many faults in it), to complete the process of Judgement, Acquittal or Prosecution-not to be murdered or attacked by dogs.
So to all of the White People in this country who believes that every Black Man, Woman or Child that has been attacked and or murdered deserve it-I say to you once again:
It's not about Black or White.
It's about Wrong or Right.
But it is also important to note, that these incidents that have occurred in the Black Communities for years will not be recognized as a major problem, (just like drugs), until it become a regular occurrence in White Neighborhoods, and happens to White Men, White Woman and White Children.
And that is the sad fact of the so called "Post Racial Society", that people want to believe is a reality because we now have a Black President.
Really!
Anyone notice how badly he has been and continues to be treated?
Wake up and recognize what is going on around you and around the country; because until we do, it will continue to grow and fester and until we as a nation are consumed by it.

Thanks To Each And Everyone Who Registered To Vote
I would like to personally thank each and everyone who answered the call to Register To Vote, so that you can become an Active Participant in our Democratic System, by electing people who have you, your family's and your community's best interest at heart.
In 2010,(because far too many of us did not think that it was important to vote in the Midterm Elections),this failure allowed the people who are currently blocking the very things that this nation needs to pull itself out of the mess that we currently find ourselves in as a result of that failure.
People whose primary purpose for being politicians is not to help the American People, but to destroy President Obama's Legacy while taking the country with it.
If we allow more of these people to get in this time, and allow those who are already in to stay in, then not only will it be harder to effect the Positive Changes that we need that will benefit the majority of people in this country, but it might just become impossible to accomplish those goals.
I know we can always use the excuse that "My Vote Doesn't Count", or that "Their Going To Do What They Are Going To Do Anyway!".
Well it is important to note that Rich People do not steal anything that is not valuable like the national efforts that they have launched to steal our votes.
And also! They said that "We Would Never Elect A Black President In America."
But there he is.
And he needs our support.
So please do not repeat the mistakes of 2010.
I don't give a damn rather you are residing in a Red State, a Blue State or a Purple State; please get out and vote for Democrats on November 4 2014.
Thank you,
G.R.C.

Now Playing! I'M A Conservative, The Video
How shall I vote?
If you are White, Rich, Powerful, Educated, Entitled, Empowered, Well Connected, A Corporate CEO, A Corporate Banker, A CEO of a Major Pharmaceutical Company, An Oil Billionaire, A CEO of one of the many Greedy Mainstream Medical Corporations,(Including and Especially The Dialysis Industry), or you Perceive yourself to be one of these Well Connected, Wealthy, Fortunate Individuals, or you are under the False Assumption that the Current Economic, Political or Legal Environment in America is conducive to you reaching one or more of these levels of success-then vote Republican,(Conservative).
However, if you, or people in your Family, Community and in your Circle of Friends are just Average American Citizens working hard just to make ends meet, or are Below Average due to a Lack of education, Poverty, Sickness and being born under unfortunate circumstance that put you at the bottom of the barrel and miles from the staring line of the race for success in America- And in your heart you give a damn about people who are less fortunate than you and you want to do all that you can do to see that this country returns to the times when the factories were running 3 shifts, and schools in Minority Communities were receiving Federal Funds to get New Books, Computers, Quality Teachers and other Equipment and Supplies that facilitate, (along with Parent's Consistent Support of Their Children), the quality education of their children which increases their chances of success in life and the success of the generations that follow them, then vote Democratic, (Liberal).
This is a brief summary of why I truly believe that we need to support candidates in the upcoming Midterm Elections that will support the President in his efforts in the last 3 years of his term, to give every American Citizen more of a chance to live as much of the "American Dream" as possible for themselves. their children and the generations that will follow us; including investments in Modern Energy Technologies that will prevent the planet from becoming so toxic that it will not even be inhabitable for the generations that will follow.
It is also important to note that their are many Democrats in "Red States", code name for "Racist States", who are deliberately distancing themselves from President Obama and his policies, and this may lead many Democrats to be hesitant about voting for these candidates, but I say, it is still better that you put these Democratic Candidates in office as opposed to their Republican Counterparts, because in a Democratic Majority, these people will be easier to manage than if we do what we did in 2010, which was nothing, which led to the Terrible Gridlock and Sabotage of every plan, bill and discussion about implementing Actions, Plans and Laws that will actually make things better for All Americans, not just the Rich, The Powerful, The Well Connected and The Hateful.
These people are already well represented.
They do not need any additional representation.
We do!

Watch Republicans Play Politics With American Lives
You know! Every now and then, (not very often),I try to give people who really don't deserve it; the benefit of the doubt.
I know they don't deserve it because past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.
But since our country is at risk and there is a possibility that we could wind up in a (Justifiable War), I thought that maybe, (just maybe), Republicans would put the possible loss of American Lives over Excessive, Extreme and Non Factual Politicking.
But apparently I was wrong.
The president has not even shared his strategy with the American People yet, to address the current crises with the Terrorist Group ISIS, who have already beheaded 2 American Reporters and have threatened to do more damage in the Middle East, here at Home and at other locations throughout the world; and they are already using this Crises to attack President Obama, because he refused to "Play Cowboy" with other people's Husbands, Wives, Children and Friends by sending them to Die In A War that was not determined to be a necessity at the time.
So now Republicans are(once again), using White Supremacy Tactics to validate their life long views about Black People and Other Minorities which features the Popular Non-Factual Premise that a Black Person, (or any kind of woman), could never run the Whitehouse successfully.
And they are basing these criticisms on the fact that before President Obama commits our Solders, Resources and Support for a war that may cost us an enormous amount of all 3; he wants to make sure that 1. He has the support of the International Community, 2. He has the support of the countries that are in close Geographical Proximity to the source of the Deadly Threat, 3. That we don't get locked into another situation like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and other worldwide conflicts that last for far too many years and cost far too many lives, and 4. That their is a way to do what is necessary without exhausting our Human, Economic and Spiritual Resources.
So because, (unlike the Bush Administration), President Obama does not want to send your Sons, Daughters, Fathers,Mothers, Brothers, Sisters and Friends to die in a war that is being fought under False Pretenses", like "Weapons of Mass Destruction", (Oil Supplies and Profits for the Military Industrial Complex), with its main headquarters and brain being the Pentagon-And all of the millions of contractors who Profit from the Death and Dismemberment of our loved ones in order to make Rich People Richer-that is a bad thing and denotes "Poor Leadership".
When in actuality, it's because they cannot stand the fact that America is and has been changing, (for the better), for quite some time now, which resulted in the American People Electing the "Right Man For The Job" instead of the "White Man For The Job".
This is the True Essence of what the Modern Republican Party has and still stands for, which is Inequality for the many and Unfair Advantages for a few Rich and Powerful People-Not Average American Citizens.
So watch the Republicans who are still spending Your Tax Dollars on "Investigating the Investigations on Benghazi", even after the majority of people with common sense realize that the deaths of these 4 Americans was the result of people who choose to do a dangerous job in a dangerous part of the world.
They knew the risk and accepted the risks and made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Service to our country, unlike the Republicans who have done nothing but provide the American People with a Gross Disservice every since this Black Man moved into the Whitehouse.
America: you elected this man as your leader. So follow his lead by not allowing Republicans to Kill your loved ones for PROFIT.
Because the President refuses to send your Sons, Daughter, Mothers, Fathers and Friends into battle to die unless and until, he knows that their is an Entrance Strategy and a Exit Strategy- putting thousands of American Lives in Harm's Way is not the kind of decision you make, simply because you are a person of privilege who can get their loved ones exempted from fight and dying or coming back dismembered.
And guess who Republicans are consulting with on the matter of ISIS?
Dick Cheney(who along with George W. Bush), killed over 4,000 people in Iraq on a war based on Greed, Hatred and Deception of the American People.
And that is without counting the over 4,000 people who died on September 11, 2001 because they ignored the intelligence that could have prevented it.
These people do not care about anyone who is not like them and have no respect or empathy for "Those People's" Lives.
Please listen to President Obama's Address to the nation tonight at 9:00 PM.
He wants to share with you as much as he safely can his strategies for dealing with ISIS.
These kinds of decisions affect us all rather we realize it or not.
Please tune in and don't forget to VOTE on November 4, 2014, because we need to provide President Obama with a Support System so that he can leave this country better off at the end of his term than it was at the beginning.

Ray Lewis's Dance Immortalized
Congratulations and thanks to Ray Lewis for being a New Generation Football Hero in Baltimore
In spite of all the haters who wanted to keep your negatives of the past alive in your present, you did your thing and shined like a star, and made so many positive contributions not just on the football field, but in the lives of many who were less fortunate including so many children.
Your contribution to the NFL, Baltimore and the Communities of Baltimore will never be forgotten.
Thanks for everything, and may GOD bless you with all that he has in store for you.
