John Legend: Way To Put It Down At The Oscars

In reference to the comments that John Legend made at this year's Oscars:

To the ignorant and uninformed all of these Black Incarcerations may appear to be based on just the personal actions of the individual, (and in many cases that is a fact).

However, there is a systematic Racist Structure that still exists in America, purposely sustained by the Rightwing Conservative Movement in America; that is designed to recreate slavery. And the Privatization of Penal Institutions is a major part of this institution; which locks up Black People for being Black while overlooking people with White Skin who commit the same or more severe crimes.

Example: Just as many White People smoke Marijuana as do Black People.

However, Black People are four times more likely to be arrested, prosecuted and jailed for possession of Marijuana.

The Washington Post

Another example is George Zimmerman from the state of Florida, who hunted and killed Trayvon Martin; and who has escaped Murder Charges due to the "Stand Your Ground Laws", that exist in Florida.

George Zimmerman hunted down and killed this teenager after the police dispatcher told him not to follow him. And he has not been prosecuted by the state of Florida or by the Federal Department of Justice.

Note: Many White (and Black Conservatives), say that Trayvon should have followed George Zimmerman's demands.

This is because the White Conservatives want to continue to be Slave Masters and the Black Conservatives still want to be Slaves.

George Zimmerman was not authorized to order anybody to do anything.

He is not a Law Enforcement Officer or anyone with that kind of authority in that community.

But these kinds of people still want Blacks and other Minorities to answer to their demands because of the "White Supremacy Myth" and their "Slave Master" or "Slave" Mentalities.

News Flash! As much as many of these Conservatives still hate the facts and are still fighting the Civil War and do not want to move into the present. As hard as they may try to recreate it-Slavery is dead.

So George Zimmerman commits murder and is Free.

Whereas: Marissa Alexander, (who is also a resident of of Florida), is facing 20 years for firing a warning shot in the ceiling to try to discourage an abusive husband who has an arrest record for kicking this woman's ass filed with the police department where she lives.

What do these cases have in common?

Nothing! The White Skinned Man followed and killed a teenager who had nothing but a bottle of Arizona Ice Tea and a pack of Skittles in his hand, while walking back to his dad's house from the store.

But he is still Free.

But Ms. Alexander spent 2 years in jail for "Standing Her Ground", but did not kill or even injure anyone.

All she wanted was to be safe from harm.

And they just let her out of jail last year, but she is still facing 20 years because instead of her being Completely Free, she still has to stand trial for shooting the ceiling to try and protect herself from harm.

These and many other cases against African Americans and other Minorities are strictly based on punishing a person because of the way GOD made them.

And I challenge any person who has not been born Black and raised in America to disprove the fact that this Institutionalized Racism is still a reality in America today.

Unless and until you have walked a mile in our shoes, then your Racist Points of View are totally invalid.Which renders your opinion completely useless.

Way to put it down John & Common.

Republicans Threatening To Destroy America-Again!

Once again! Here we go.

In response to President Obama's Humanitarian Efforts to protect immigrants who have been in America for years without committing any crimes except for being here as a result of a parent or parents bringing them here or for being different- Republicans in order to (once again), destroy something that the Obama Administration successfully implemented, say they will not fund the Department of Homeland Security.

The title above is not simply a matter of me being dramatic about the Hatred Driven Politics which have been on clear display since the First African American President was elected in 2008; it is an accurate description of what Republicans have been trying to do ever since.

They want to destroy the country and blame it on the Black Guy so they can destroy his legacy and the people of this country with it.

They don't even care about the poor ignorant and hateful people who defend and support their efforts.

All they care about is Mega Corporations and all of their Millionaire and Billionaire Friends who line their pockets with Blood Money to protect their interests, and not that of Average American Citizens.

That's how Republicans have been, still are and will continue to be until a case of Divine Intervention or Our Intervention takes place.

Now I don't want to step on anyone's faith, because I don't want anyone stepping on mines, but I truly believe that the intervention that is needed to correct these Gross Miscarriages of Justice that Republicans commit against this country on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis will require an intervention by us as Average American Citizens who give a Shit.

And then maybe GOD will join in because of the sincere efforts and intentions of the people who really do love America and all of the people in it-Not just the chosen few.

So in their latest attempt to accomplish their mission of destruction, (which was ordered by the leader of the Conservative, Right Wing, Republican Movement in American: Rush Limbaugh), they want to shut down the part of the government that is responsible for protecting the Homeland.

So with ISIS and other violent terrorist groups getting closer to launching violent attacks inside of America, including an attack on the Mall of America in Minnesota, where thousands of lives could be lost-Republicans within the next week are going to try and do everything they can to not fund the Department of Homeland Security, because they want President Obama to throw some more People of Color out of the country so that they can have it all to themselves.

I don't give a damn what anybody says; if leaders who are elected to office to protect and make this country better, do nothing while in office but try to destroy this country, to me that is Treason and they should be charged and dealt with as Domestic Terrorists just like any other terrorists would be dealt with, (even if, and especially if, they are Members of Congress).

The deadline for funding the Department of Homeland Security is this Friday, February 27, 2015.

Please do not allow Republicans to Shut Down The Government again.

What's Wrong With Rudy Giuliani?

It's the same thing that is wrong with America.

There are still too many of a Dying, Racist, Hateful Breed left who cannot accept the fact that the demographics and spirit of this nation is changing for the better, and moving towards a kinder, gentler more diverse and tolerant society.

The Explosive Manifestation of these positive changes occurred in 2008 with the "Legal" and "Legitimate Election" of the First African American President in 2008 and his Successful Re-Election in 2012, followed by a massive loss of an adequate support system for the president in the Midterm Elections of 2010 and then again in 2014.

The Political Apathy that exist among the majority of people in this country is what has allowed these people to increase their numbers and their strength to disruptive and dangerous levels within our government.

And these people have and will continue to destroy and disrupt the growth and progress that we have made as a nation and that President Obama's Administration has made over the past 6+ years, as long as we continue to allow them too.

Rudy Giuliani is just one of many Right wing, Conservative, Republican Hate Mongers who still see this country as the "Lilly White Man's Utopia" that it was for far too long.

People like President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, represent a major threat to their desire to control, dominate and destroy people who are not like them so that they do not have to share the wealth, power or opportunities that are not yet completely distributed evenly or fairly yet-but the more even distribution of wealth power and opportunities for a more diverse group of people in America has caused these racists who are still alive to erupt into a hateful frenzy against what is a very real threat for them.

And for those who are no longer with us, they are turning over in their graves at the thought of the America that they once knew and loved being destroyed.

The fact of the matter is that the America they once knew filled with Hatred, Racism, Injustice and Inequality needs to be destroyed.

Its America; so everyone has a right to their personal opinion even if its a lie.

However, when people have to keep trying to dig themselves out of the toilet that they put themselves in, (which many Republicans like Rudy Giuliani have found the need to do over the past 6+ years), by lying about the lie they told previously and digging themselves in deeper-Isn't that an indication that people who are dishonest about these little things, may not be suited for leadership roles in our government?

Because if they repeatedly prove to the nation that they will say or do anything, including lying, cheating, stealing and in some extreme cases even killing to get power, then of course these same non-principled individuals will do the same things to keep power.

Rudy Giuliani has always seen African Americans and other Minorities as inferior, this is why he found it necessary to accuse the president of not loving this country because he did not grow up like "the rest of us".

And we all know who "us" is don't we?

And another thing: President Obama is one of the most Patriotic Black People that I have ever seen, (because quite frankly), based on the history of America as it relates to African Americans and other Oppressed Minorities, it is a fact that many Black Americans have mixed emotions when it comes to loving a country that has done so many hateful things to first, American Indians, Slaves and to this day, Modern Day Minority American Citizens including even the President of the United States.

And Giuliani's and many other Conservative Racists assumptions that if you talk about what is wrong with America instead of turning a blind eye to these problems, then that makes you "Hate America". And because President Obama and many other African Americans are not willing to deny the history or America's Dirt, this is why he is a target for these Racists.

So called "American Exceptional-ism" is nothing more than "White Supremacy", which continues to spread the myth of a "Perfect White Race" even to this day when we and they know better.

The fact of the matter is that people who do love America want to see it continue to get better for all of its citizens. And the only way to do this is to admit that America has serious problems that need to be addressed; (one of which is the type of Racism that is promoted by people like Rudy Giuliani). Before the ideal of a "More Perfect Union", can become more than just some bullshit written on a piece of paper, we will have to admit that the union needs work.

The key to solving this problem of Hatred and Racism is to remove all of those who cannot or will not adapt to the new positive changes that have occurred over the past 60 years from positions of power where they can do great harm.

And the way to do that is to first of all, acknowledge the fact that they exist instead of walking around with blinders on or convincing ourselves that Racism is no longer a problem in America because we now have the First African American President-(just look at how he has been treated) by those who hate him and everybody else that is not like them.

And once identified, we must join together and use Political Activism to contain, neutralize and finally remove these people from the positions of power that they hold which puts them in a place where they can do great harm to the people of the United States of America.

Phase 1 - The Negative Effects Of The 2014 Midterm Elections

What did House Republicans do with their January?

☑ Attacked Social Security

☑ Chipped away at a woman’s health care rights

☑ Attempted to weaken financial regulations

☑ Set a plan in motion to Sue the president for usurping his Constitutional Authority, using your tax dollars

☑ Vowed to fight to protect Wall Street, the Banking Industry and other Corporations and Rich People to pay even less taxes

☑ Continued the fight to keep taxes the same for the Middle Class

☑ Continued the fight to kill programs that were created to help the poorest people in our nation and those who cannot help themselves.

No Education?

No Tax Reform?

No Infrastructure?

No jobs?

And no love or respect for the American People who are different from them,(including The President).

Never forget that your actions or inaction determine the fate of this country.

Stay tuned America.

There's more to come..............
