Racial Injustice in America

I am going to state the obvious, at least from my perspective.
Racial inequality still exists in America.
I was born and raised in Mississippi. As were my parents and grandparents and at least some of my great-grandparents. I am qualified, to say the least, to comment on racial inequality.
I grew up hearing the word nigger used freely and matter-of-factly. Proper white folk said "Niggra" (that's Negro with a Southern accent), but the only reason they said it either way was to point out the difference between white from black. And those aren't the only racial identifiers I grew up hearing. And it wasn't always about black folk and white folk.
Yes, "black lives matter".  But no more than any other life.
Yes, white people have a superiority complex whether they like it, recognize it, accept it, or not.
No, not all black people are the same. Nor are all white people, or Jews, or Indians, or Asians... etc, etc etc...
Yes, police "authority" has gotten out of control. But not all cops are "bad".
The court system, the prison system, the Constitution of The United States of America, government, elected officials, military..... Its all out of control.
It is literally ALL out of our control. It's too big. No one could possibly understand it all. Not even those who are in it professionally!
Laws, rules, regulations..... Taxes, fines, penalties....
There's no where to turn.
The gays fight to be treated right.
The blacks fight to be treated right.
Those with disabilities fight to be treated right.
People fight for animals to be treated right.
Black lives matter... but no more than anyone else's. Racial inequality still exists in America.
But you are all fools to think its "simply" because of race.
Or gender orientation, or religion, or nationality..... Or tax bracket, or political affiliation, or even criminal status.... Feeding the homeless...??? Really???
Why is marijuana illegal?  Raw milk is also illegal!
Why is it illegal to NOT be connected to the power grid?
Why do organic farms get raided and everything they've worked so hard to build get destroyed!?
Is it the same as cops destroying a tent city of homeless people?
You are most likely a pawn in this game.

Why do white people assume that young, black, jobless, males who steal are lazy and stupid?
Why!?
Why do white people feel the way they do about black people?
Why do black people blame everyone but themselves for their problems?
Black lives matter.
If only black people would realize this.

What do you want black people?  Cops to stop shooting your kids?
What do you want white people?  Black people to become a working class white slave like you?
White people are leaving their jobs in droves and returning to self sustaining lifestyles... so what again is it white people want from black people???
Can you see yet that this is not a race issue?

Excuses, excuses, excuses.....
Always somebody else's fault.

INJUSTICE is just as blind as justice, and it is happening to all of us. Some feel it more than others, but this is NOT a race issue, it is a human issue!
And the only solution is to examine your OWN heart and mind.
Plenty of white people are abused by the law daily.
Why?
Because they're doing something that "The Man" will not tolerate. They are doing things independently and responsibly and they don't need The Man anymore.  And The Man don't like this at all.....
So The Man stirs shit, and pits us all against one another. Race against race, religion against religion, gender against gender, rich against poor, and now the homeless!!??

What the hell are we all doing?  All of us - black white red yellow beige brown..... What the holy fuck are we doing.....?

One question motherfucker.... Where is YOUR heart? Not what color is it!?
That's the only question we need to ask.
And YOU are the only one with the answer.
Only YOU can change the world.... And the only way to do that is wake up!
Be the change.
We are ALL slaves!!!
We are ALL being played!

White people get mad at black people because they don't have a job and live on welfare.
Black people get mad at white people because they won't give black people jobs.
White people give black people jobs but they don't want the job. Its not as good a job as the white man has. So the black people feel persecuted AGAIN!
Did the white man work his way up to that job? Yes. Worked his ass off to the get there. So the white man wonders why the black man won't do the same if he wants the same money...?
Maybe black people don't want jobs. Maybe they just want to be left alone.... to smoke weed. Only problem with that is who pays for their lives?  Welfare? Thievery? Selling harmful substances? Or worse? Why do white people see black people this way!??
Why...?
This is a stereotype.
Gays coined the phrase "in the closet". Black people don't have that luxury. For the most part, neither do women. All have been treated badly because of the body they were born into. Treated badly. Discriminated against for no legitimate reason. Judged unfairly. Paid unfairly. Opportunities stolen.
Even violently assaulted or killed for not being.... a white male.
If you don't like the way things are, change them.
Why do cops shoot and kill black males? Because they hate them? Or because they're afraid of them?
Why do people shoot and kill pit bulls? Because they hate them? Or because they're afraid of them?
They're not all the same. But you never know. The ones that are truly dangerous are that way because of human ignorance. Human ignorance..... human ignorance....
Do you kill what you fear and don't understand? Or do you evolve and learn how to do things differently?
With proper wisdom and nurturing, pit bulls are sweet, loyal, loving, trustworthy members of a family. Even ones that have been abused. But if you don't know what you're doing with a pit bull, they will hurt you. Even kill you.
How far from this truth is the plight of the human black male...?


Bill Cosby. Black male. Net worth $350-$400 million dollars. Successful, legitimate career.
Good person???
Jose Mujica. Male. Neither black nor white. President of Uruguay. Donated over 90% of presidential salary to the poor.
Ummm.........

It's not about race...

The Revolution of Standing...

The Revolution of Standing.
The Revolution of Peace.
The Revolution of Responsibility.

A recent conversation I was engaged in involved a young man who is very awake to many things.  He has a genuine desire to act upon the knowledge that he has.  Such as eating better for himself, eating real food and not frankenfood. This young man simply wanted a pineapple. Now the options he is aware of are: 1) Compromise and get an affordable one at any grocery store not knowing the truth about where this pineapple came from but assuming it probably came from a typical source using all manner of nastiness to produce it;  2) Go to the local farmers market where the pineapple is really affordable and it is assumed to be wholesome because it comes from a farmers market. But the truth is it is imported like all the rest. Or 3) Go to the local natural foods store where they have a genuine reputation for having good clean products and pay 10 times what one should pay for a pineapple.  

This very aware, very intelligent young man will most likely opt for the farmers market pineapple because by doing so he feels better about not giving his money to a big company who has no real concern for anything but making money... But mostly because its cheaper!  The reason he cannot shop at the reputable natural food store is that it costs too much.  And he'd rather not be homeless for buying good, real food.

THIS is where we must take a stand Americans.

We do not have to "overthrow" the government... We have to take our stand, in our own lives, in our own neighborhoods, in our reality!  This situation I've described is wrong.  This is capitalism.  This is not what the majority want.  But the majority are afraid to stand up and say so.  Because they don't want to be homeless.... or jobless.... or ruin their credit score..... or feel the shame of non-conformity.... They don't want to sacrifice for the truth, for what's right.  

Look at the people of Egypt, Turkey, Brazil... so many common people are rising up, walking off their jobs, abandoning what is normal and taking to the streets to tell those who are controlling their lives ENOUGH! Not one more day of this shit!  

They stand.

They stand in Peace.

They've taken responsibility for their own lives and their own communities.

In America we have some very real remnants of the Occupy movement.... But still so many more who are complacent and afraid.  Afraid to lose the job.... the position in the company.... the scraps that they live on.... Afraid to lose the house like so many have in the past five years....  Afraid their electricity will be turned off, their cable and internet, their water.....

THIS IS CONTROL ! ! ! ! ! !

America is an embarrassment to itself... to its ancestry.... to its flag... to its MILITARY.... to its heritage.

This Independence Day is a mockery of freedom and all who have begun to stand for it around the world.

You don't need guns to start a revolution.

All you need to do is tell the truth.  Stop turning a blind eye to things you KNOW aren't right.... 

STAND.

And if you feel the need to STAND in the streets with others who are tired of being afraid, tired of being a slave and living a lie.... then do it with the same pride and conviction you SAY OUR FOREFATHERS HAD at the time of the FIRST AMERICAN REVOLUTION.... which culminated in the signing of THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.... Part of a series of documents that ensure our freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.... A freedom we NO LONGER HAVE.

Your employer steals from you, your government steals from you, all the corporations you patronize steal from you, lie to you, and laugh all the way to the bank with your money... SLAVE.

Take America Back.

I wish no one a happy 4th of July...... till everyone's free to truly be happy.

Wake up....... 

Times up.

There's no second chance this time.

Politics.... For Idiots

We all know there is no honesty in politics.
Don't we?
Are you that die-hard moron who still thinks "good men" (women?) can survive a thousands year old system of greed, corruption, and coercion??
Of course.... and that explains why a system of such ill repute is still thriving - you're the only idiots stupid enuff to still VOTE for these imposters.
You feed them with your blindness.
It's rite in front of your faces and you refuse to see that you're being led to slawter by the very ones you idolize.
Romney or Obama....?
Which one is lying?
Which one is telling the truth?
I overheard an upper-middle-aged woman in the grocery check out line last week talking with the cashier about politics... and she kinda softly said, 'I don't know if we're gonna vote!'
Now I could tell that she felt ashamed/afraid to say that too loud.
Why?  Because we've been brainwashed to believe that NOT voting is repulsive, anti-American, blasphemous, ungrateful and downright communistic!!!!
So what would bring a well brainwashed American to say such a thing in publix... I mean public... :)  ?
Desperation.
It's that bad yet many of you still hold on to something that is TOXIC!
We are not free anymore!!!  And YOU KNOW THIS.... MAN!!!
YOU sit on your ass and criticize people who are in the streets trying to make things better... YOU brave American who went to your public school and didn't learn Jack SHIT about history... Because if you did, you'd know that REBELLION is what won the freedom that you all think you still have!

Freedom from WHAT!?
What did our forefathers "fight" for?
What freedom.... freedom from WHAT???
I can hear Lee Greenwood singing now....  Can't you?  Are you proud to be an American?  Do you KNOW that you're free?  Then why are so many American's rites being completely stripped from them... right in public.... peaceful, intelligent people.... who just want to be heard, who want to participate in democracy... they don't have guns and bombs for gods sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They have food, and books and they share....  And you may think they're weird and stinky.... but since when is that a crime in America?
You don't feel safe from your own government and you KNOW IT.
But what do you do about it...........?  You keep following.
Politicians make "campaign promises" year after year after year... generation after generation after generation.... Which one was the honest one...?  Which one???  Because as per the Constitution of The United States of America none of them has the power to change anything.... they only have the power to represent and vote.  That includes your precious President!
The system is too big!  Its too complicated!  You don't understand it nor can you!  So you follow blindly while you're raped, stolen from and used for slave labor.
Are none of you smart enough to figure out that the whole system is rigged! Intentionally!  For failure!
