How We (USA) Got Here...

The "race war," was created to distract us, while we are being robbed by the rich. Since politians decide who gets what, they can do it legally. We all know reform is needed. But what and how it is being done, and who is benefitting, is not improving, it's becoming a fascist state, with an oligarchy that is fueled by racial hatred (backlash) from a liberal refusal to make certain people accountable for their actions. Meanwhile, we fight each other while our money and freedom is being seized. No amount of lying is too much, because the truth has been buried in the middle.

Truth in the USA???

There is an unfortunate problem in the United States of America , with knowing, telling and believing the truth . While it is generally not talked about, poverty in the USA is the 4th leading cause of death . When so many other countries have successfully implemented national healthcare , why does the USA not have it? One of the main arguments against it, seems to be that it takes too long to get appointments to see a doctor when you need one. Since it regularly takes two months to see a doctor (often longer for a specialist), now , in the United States, I call BS on that argument. Some countries even have free or reduced cost for college educations ! Not in the USA though. The "richest country in the world," seems to only apply to a small fraction of the US population. In fact, if the US government sees you as below the poverty line , you are in pretty bad shape. So, the issue in America, is that corporations tend to dictate to the politicians, and the politicians then ...

Trump is still Popular Because it's Not about Him

I've been saying for years, that Trump has become the poster child for the paranoid backlash from liberalism that has gotten too extreme. Both the conservatives and liberals have hijacked the two political parties in the USA. In order to get votes, the politicians have had to embrace these extremes. Yet, the scary thing is, that these two polarized extremes don't represent the majority of Americans. This article from NPR, probably says it better than I am. https://www.npr.org/2021/07/11/1015120444/study-looks-at-what-motivates-trump-supporters

PSA About the Angry

Don't decide too much about a person from a particular political affiliation, religion, racial demographic, ethnicity or gender if they react negatively when confronted with an opposing point-of-view. Rather, consider that it's people who embrace extremes, who have less logic and substance to rely on, who often compensate for this by resorting to abuse and anger.

The Rich Buy the Law

While some people have skillfully orchestrated a war between the races, the real issue is between the extreme rich and the poor. Conservatives and rednecks who are more like the minorities they've been taught to hate than they are like the rich guy who they believe will save them. People of color who liberals have convinced are unable to better themselves and need not even try. Meanwhile, all of our politicians are wealthy and one former president has top secret documents in his possession. Any of the rest of us would be staring through jail bars, but the filthy (and I mean filthy) rich hire lawyers to manipulate the law on their behalf. But few see through the smoke, because their own agenda is a small view. They are out for themselves and unconcerned about anyone else.

Future and Past

We can't undo the past. We can't even fully understand it; because it will always be out of context. We can, however, change the future. So far, dwelling on the past is jeopardizing any chance of positive change. We should remember the history, but not become stuck there. The future has infinite possibilities.

Interracial Marriage in the USA

I keep hearing snippets about Republicans who are condemning interracial marriage ; which is something my wife and I have a stake in. So first, I’d like to point out that once we achieve a racial mix like, say, Cuba, with lots of mixed families and mixed people, it will be a whole lot harder to judge others based on their race. Because let’s face it, the liberal method of forcing equality doesn’t work very well. Interracial families are created by choice and by love, so that’s why it works. And finally, what will Clarence Thomas and Mitch McConnell do if their marriages are made illegal? Likely this will be more about “pick and choose” politics—like how unborn children should have more rights than their mothers; or how living children can become living targets for people whose rights to possess and carry deadly weapons needs to be protected.

The Broken 2-Party System

In the United States, the liberals have vilified police and in many cases removed police liaison officers from schools as a misguided way to combat racism. At the same time, conservatives say there is nothing more that can be done to combat mass shootings; the numbers of which outpace the number of days in the year. The police have become the scapegoat for one party that has decimated race relations. And the other party, is only concerned about their guns, controlling personal freedoms and wrapping it up in a flag with a Bible on top. And the worst news is, we only have these two parties.

Racism is Always Wrong

Racism is not exclusive to one particular race against another. Make no mistake, racism is wrong regardless of the race of the people involved.
