The Dying Truth

As those on the left tried to create equality by making victims of criminals, they were met by the force from the right who were hellbent on destroying democracy. Only the truth could save them. But the truth lay in the center of the battle, broken and bleeding.

Supreme Confusion

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.

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.

True Equality?

Is it a confusing message for our children, when we teach them that race should not be how we judge people, or select them for jobs, and how we should instead look at character and merit, and no one should be excluded due to gender or skin color--when President Biden is looking exclusively for a black woman to be the next Supreme Court Justice? Because I understand why it's being done, but it still seems to undermine the true idea behind real equality; and hiring the best person for the job, regardless of race, gender or religious affiliation.

About Lies and Politics

Just to reiterate something I've said before because some people don't seem to understand. If I make a negative comment against either the Democrats or the Republicans, that does not mean I am siding with the opposite. If I make a statement about liberals or conservatives, that is not an endorsement for the other side. Once you go too far either direction, you enter what I consider dumb land. Basically, I think both sides are full of crap. The extremes are filled with people who tell lies for political gain. It is very damaging. The only real truth lies somewhere in between. The current trend is to take 10% of the truth and use it to propagate the 90% of lies. This is why we can't get past race, and we can't get past covid-19. Ask yourself who is benefiting from all of this fighting. It is all political. And some of it is even starting from outside of our borders. If people don't become a little smarter, things are going to start to hurt even more. You can make a po...

The Big Lie

I wrote less comedy over the last year. The world was less funny I guess. Or maybe I was laughing less. Things that should be gone, are coming back. And I'm not just talking about COVID-19. But it should be gone. Some want to keep it. Some don't read history--about how polio was finally beaten. Racial tensions are back. It works for the people who want to dismantle the government. The war on police is working. You can tell if you pay attention to the death toll. Even ISIS is back. Toss global warming into the mix too. You see, there are anarchists and troublemakers who use that 10% of the truth, to perpetuate their 90% of lies. And people who are uncomfortable in their own skin fall for it. For the few who don't, Cancel culture is there to terrorize them into submission. I keep waiting to see if people will finally realize that they are following lies. Lies told for votes. Lies to manipulate. Lies to terrorize. Lies to disrupt. Ten percent of people will understand what ...

Negativity and Racism

It is quite possible that all of the negative focus on racism in our society, is only making the issue worse. My family is biracial, and multicultural--and we simply cannot let all of that continuous negativity into our daily lives. We identify as a family, and the other labels, while they may exist, are simply not that important. Racism is learned. So while we may agree it is unwanted, constant reference and exposure helps to keep it alive.

USA, Land of Misdirection

Looking past cancel culture, at the liberal ideas of blaming every social issue on systemic racism, vilifying law enforcement and making heroes of criminals and ignoring the demographics of who is actually shooting the most people--including innocent children, I don't feel that any of this is working or has any hope of success. In fact, the only thing it will likely do, is increase the power of conservatives, who are waging their own battle of distorted reality. I'm still convinced that the answers to the problems are in that gray area in the middle; rather than in the black and white or right and left. But people are too stubborn to think rationally or logically. So here "we" all are--angry, misinformed, misinterpreted and misdirected.

Stop Preaching Racism

To those couple of white people who feel the need to send those, "Hey white people, " messages--you know, where you badmouth others to try to separate yourself to make yourself feel better, please stop. People are just people. Most are good, a few are bad. Color is irrelevant. A lot of us don't want to hear your backward racism. Some of us live in racially and culturally diverse families, and we are far less hung up on race than you and your ignorant rants. It is not going to help our children when you continue preaching your version of how bad everyone is except you. Kids aren't born racist. They learn it from what they hear. So please stop now.

No Compromise

No Compromise By Kevin J. Curtis Johnny was trying to understand why the people in the United States were always arguing and fighting. It didn’t make sense! They were all just people living in the same big country. Why did they fight all of the time? He decided to talk to his dad about it. “It’s because somebody is always trying to take our guns away!” shouted Donald, as he finished loading the clip of his 9mm Glock. “But if nobody had guns,” began Johnny, “we wouldn’t need to have lockdown drills in our school for active shooters!” “You watch your mouth young man!” shouted Donald. “That kind of talk is dangerous! We need to be able to defend ourselves if someone else pulls a gun on us!” “But yesterday,” began Johnny, “you pulled a gun on that other car in traffic while driving us home. Nobody pulled a gun on you first.” “You shut your yap young man,” growled Johnny’s father. “That guy was looking for a slug in his head!” Johnny decided to ask his mom for h...

3 Ways to See

There are some serious issues to deal with. Some people focus on the part that they can accept, and then keep ramming into the half they deny. Others deny the whole thing. Only a few have the courage to address the entire situation. These are the folks who most people hope will shut up.

Racial Harmony

For those of us living in multiracial, multicultural families, it is a personal lifestyle, rather than a political policy. I believe that focusing on the positive is how to perpetuate those feelings and ideals. Concentrating on negative ideas may be popular, but it is not as likely to create peace and harmony. Sometimes it also means choosing that positive mindset.

Cooking Up Some Diversity with Kevin

Research vs Cancel Culture

The current trend is to blame systemic racism for inequality, and cancel culture has stopped the exploration into other possible factors; and so, solutions. Some questions I have are what are the reasons that some African-Americans have succeeded while others haven't? Second, of the growing number of black homeowners in my neighborhood, many seem to be recent immigrants from Africa. Why are they able to succeed? Answering the systemic differences between success and not may offer real solutions. Simply looking at obvious, surface issues without further exploration is inconsistent with scientific study. If a patient told her doctor she had foot pain and the doctor simply prescribed pain medication without further study, the results could be disastrous. If the pain was caused by diabetes, introducing more medication for the body to process could make the original disease worse. Yet, this is how cancel culture diagnoses social illness. Now, after all that's happened, is there le...

Discrimination vs Racism

Any group that advocates for one race and rejects including all races, is by definition, a racist organization. Any person who has been denied, purely on the basis of skin color has experienced racism. This is never acceptable regardless of which racial groups are represented in each situation. A person who was denied because of how they choose to represent themselves; such as how they act, speak and dress, has experienced discrimination, but not racism. Discrimination allows humanity to decide between one thing and another by comparison. Average, law abiding citizens may choose to distance themselves from others who choose to use socially unacceptable language and behavior. This isn't racism.
