A Tale of Two Sets of Moralities: One Valid, The Other a Pretentious Ruse.

[Triana]

Men who would deny women the right to live with full jurisdiction over their own bodies and lives or blacks to legally and peacefully occupy public space without fear of murder have moral issues beyond their favorite reactionary memes about abortion or “gays“.

These men constantly attempt to distract from their own extremely egregious immorality and pathetic insecurities with these pretentious, shallow memes hoping no one will notice the true problem of “immorality” lies at these men’s own blood-soaked feet.

Oh no. I won’t ignore the blood of needlessly dead women who were denied safe, effective reproductive healthcare. I won’t ignore the blood of God knows how many innocent black men shot in cold blood because some fear-driven, insecure white man considered him “suspicious” for no damn good reason other than he was standing and black, wearing a “hoodie” or because he reached into his own pocket while standing on his own property (Amadou Diallo) – something no white person would ever be killed for. It has been said that Trayvon Martin is our modern-day Emmitt Till.

George Zimmerman apparently said something to the effect of: “These f*cking punks. They always get away.” Well don’t look now but another punk just got away. His name is George Zimmerman. You can’t ignore the irony. And you can’t ignore the hypocrisy. George Zimmerman has officially become what he hates: A punk that got away with a crime.

So you small men keep screeching about abortion or gays, welfare or minimum wage or “moochers“, as you call them. You don’t fool me. I know where the problem is. It’s right at your pathetic, insecure, murderous, power-driven, fear-driven, blood-soaked, smelly feet. Ain’t nothing you can do to hide it. Not anymore. All the signs point to you. You are standing in our blood and the blood of our loved ones, family, co-workers, friends, fellow students. You are guilty as charged. Because if your buddy George Zimmerman, vigilante extraordinaire, NRA, Fox News and KKK hero can arbitrarily declare himself judge, jury, and executioner, so can we.

Is that a threat? Not a physical one. We’re not so barbaric and ignorant as that. There are other ways to bring true immorality to its knees. It takes fearlessness and intellect. Things you don’t possess. If you did, you’d not need to fear “the gay“, or women and their autonomous power over their own bodies and lives, or anyone with different or darker skin or appearance than you. You do not possess those qualities. They are skills never developed by you because they’ve never been necessary for you with all your white male privilege. That is where our advantage lies and I suggest that we all – that is the rest of us – the sane ones – begin to realize it and act accordingly. And we will.

We see you. You are naked. And we’re going to ensure the rest of the world sees you too. All your pathetic insecurity. All your fear. All your ignorance. And most of all, the ankle-deep pool of blood at your feet because of it.

To you, women are breeding stock – property to be owned and controlled, just like slaves. To you, black or non-white men are to be shot on sight for whatever reason you choose and with utter impunity. To you, there are two sets of laws in the United States – one for yourselves (which is actually lawLESSness), and one for non-whites and women, whose punishments more often than not blame the crime victim and are harsher and more extreme than had the white man been the perpetrator in question.

Nothing’s changed. The strange fruit now lies on the ground in a muddled, bloodied clump instead of hanging from trees and the murder weapon a gun instead of a rope.

For women, physical, emotional and financial abuse, harassment and humiliation, total subjugation, rape, forced birth, and total male control over a woman’s body and life have always been the weapons of choice. As this article points out, rape has a purpose. And it has nothing to do with “God’s will“. Women WILL DIE without access to safe, legal abortions. And the blood of those PEOPLE will be on your hands.

You — the same men who groused about how “Obamacare” would allegedly amount to “government interfering with our healthcare“, somehow find no reservation about states forcing unnecessary ultrasounds on women seeking abortions, the nature of which fits the FBI’s formal definition of RAPE. Remember what I wrote above about “two sets of laws“. There you go. Your pretense is thin. Transparent in fact. Because either you like “government interfering with healthcare“, or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways because “abortion“. This is where your arguments intellectually and when taken to their logical conclusions are ignorant, senseless and they reveal your true intent: humiliating, punishing, harassing, and controlling women whom you believe you possess and must control because how dare they have sex and enjoy it without any consequence — like YOU do. How dare they be HUMAN.

You consider inviable clumps of cells “human“. You consider legal entities called “corporations” “human“. But not women. We - that is those of us not driven to insanity by reactionary themes and memes touted by conservative hypocrites – we find that very telling.

You claim be “pro-life” but you don’t care if women needlessly die from denied reproductive care or unsafe medical procedures. We find that very telling. You cannot be OK with this and call yourself “pro-life“:



You *seem* to be winning – for now. Because you suppress the vote. Because you gerrymander congressional districts into ridiculous configurations in order to keep your American Taliban in power. Because you hide behind un-Democratic, fascist organizations and people like The Koch Brothers, ALEC, AFP, Sheldon Adelson, Pete Peterson, “Fix the Debt” and others. And because our USSC is currently made up of those just like you who thought it a good idea to allow corporations and wealthy people to buy the government they want for themselves and to allow even more voter suppression. You Teabilly types swallow their propaganda whole hoping to one day be one of them. But they’ll never let you in to their exclusive club and you’re too ignorant to figure that out. So you swallow it all and ask for more, damaging your country and your fellow citizens, your economy and your natural environment — and the blood level rises. Again at your feet.

But this is a long road and we’re nowhere near the end of it. We’re onto you now. With social media and internet, we can find facts and follow the money wherever they lead — and we will.



After harassing and publicly humiliating them, THIS is what the American Taliban does to women while they impose sexual and reproductive slavery on them by denying them healthcare.



The Rev. Dr. William Barber of the NAACP put it this way: “This isn’t about liberal or conservative. This is about right and wrong.” And it is. For too long the word “morality” has been attached to reactionary themes touted by right-wing hypocrites. We’re taking the word BACK.

Restricting our civil rights is immoral.

Restricting the right to vote is immoral.

Taking from the poor to give to the rich is immoral.

De facto segregation is immoral.

I’ll add this one: Controlling women and their bodies like breed stock and slaves causing them to needlessly die is immoral.

So much of what’s going on in the United States now is WRONG. It needs to be made right again – and truly moral again. ACT and DEMAND that your representatives ACT – or vote them out – and DO vote – never fail to vote.

Help EXPOSE and bring the true IMMORALITY that exists in the United States to it’s knees by joining or supporting the following organizations and getting involved with them in your own cities and towns.

NAACP
Planned Parenthood
NARAL
UNCF
Lilith Fund
Emily’s List
