Mr. Scorpio's JournalBlack People Dont Have Freedom of Emotion (Anger) in America. Why?
I tend to speak out against bigotry something fierce. Race and sex are my strongest battlegrounds; forgive me in advance if that makes you uncomfortable. With that said, I tend to find the varying responses to my sociopolitical talk a tad bit fascinating. Its the comically wrathful responses that I find the most telling. Red Herring is the tactic of deflecting good pointsto avoid having to listen to you so that they dont have to bother with understanding your point of view. An ad hominem is a personal attack onto a person to discredit them from discussion. The angry black man accusation serves as both in a discussion or debate. In other words, its the equivalent to sand being kicked in your face followed by a swift punch to the crotch in what otherwise should have been a clean fight.
Understanding Anger, Accusations, and Illusions
All my life I always pushed to be the calm, cool articulate fellow which always warranted great respect. With that being said, I adopted this maxim I also teach young leaders: Only Get Angry On Purpose. This means theres an understanding that anger denotes a lack of control, but its also a natural human emotion. It is also a necessary one it can serve as a motivator to get things done. Throughout my time speaking and listening to others Ive noticed that this accusation gets thrown around a lot, angry black man. It gets categorically comical when someone attempts to exaggerate the accusation to the point of accusing me of hating white people. At that point it Im at the point of hilarity which is quite far from being angry, or the type of angry they accuse. I will then tell them that anti-racism is NOT a zero-sum game and we are in this together. Respecting peoples differences, and people being different is paramount. Then I continue with my discussion without further pivoting.
Now being that Im a bit older and looking at a lot more material in the psychology realm, I begin to question the totality of the angry black man accusation. I used to diffuse this accusation by pointing out my calm and cool. Now Im beginning to approach what this pejorative accusation implies: black people, black men especially, are NOT allowed to be angry, ever. When you think about the gravity of that implication, its astounding.
When you then as a black man objectively observe (and study) the anger and response of people of white privilege, the results are quite shocking. As a white person you are totally allowed to be angry and even go further and project aggression. As a white person not only can you be visibly irate, but you can also stack guns, stack personal militias and stare down government officials, walk in restaurants with rifles on your back and sidearms on your hip. On top of that, no one will ever call you the angry white man as a pejorative. In fact, you might be called in for a job with the Tea Party campaign. In fact, white anger is summoned for political means all the time; its normal behavior of politicians. But to summon black anger seems to be some sort of evil dark power, a dirty tactic in politics in America. Even a president of the United States, if black, isnt socially allowed to get mad even when anger is logically reasonable. Fascinating stuff.

The thing about really smart people...
Is that most of them really don't feel as if they have anything to prove.
A fucking moron like Trump will never understand the concept.
Tonight's Episode:
I'll tell you guys which GOPr needs to lose his seat in November...
And that's that gish-gallopping conspiracy monger from Ohio, Jim Jordan. He's so far up Trump's ass I'm sure that he can tickle his small intestine.
The way he talks, he sounds like he's freebasing pure, uncut Columbian.
You all know that Trump's insane, right?
We all need to reiterate that every single day.
What in the holy fuck?
I just got a WashPo push that the morons in the White House just suspended nearly all security assistance to Pakistan.
He's aware that they have nukes, right?
Does he want the extremists to grab a hold of them?
If it wasn't completely obvious before, it's most definitely obvious by now...
That every single day, this so-called administration strives to come up with more insidious ways to behave like assholes.

I've never smoked a single joint in my fifty-something years on this planet, and even I can see how fucked up this is.

Lots of blood in the water, the lefty sharks are giving them a feeding frenzy, gobbling up the wingers like so much chum.
It's TRUMPOCALYPSE NOW, baby!
A fun time is being had by all.
