all I know is

the reporters never follow up their questions with fact. Sure mr. president whites die at the hands of the police, but how many are killed for being in the wrong place at the right time in a so-called exclusive neighbourhood, his father lived there, with a murdering psychopath calling himself the 'neighbourhood watch' knight watchman? How many for jaywalking, sir? How many for selling one cigarette at a time on the streets and after repeatedly telling the cops, "I can't breathe" while dying in a chokehold? How many die while not resisting, unarmed with a knee on the neck for 8 to 10 minutes while repeatedly telling the police officer(s), because some store owner calls in a report of fake money being used, alleged? How many shot in the back unarmed for a busted taillight? How many 11 year old white children are shot while playing with a toy gun in some park? And shot 1.5 seconds after the police car stopped? How many after being purposefully banged around inside the metal interior of a police wagon? How many for being arrested for not using a turn signal and for basically talking back to a white police officer and being found the next morning hung in her cell?

How many generations have white families been terrorized, shot, burned, hung in American locales all over the country, the south specifically, by the 'knight riders' in their white sheets? How many white families faced 'Jim Crow' for many generations right up to this day in its many insidious and today subtle forms. How many white women are shot 10 times in a 'soft target' alleged drug raid? How many LICENSED gun-carrying white men after telling the police officer I have a weapon-gun-am armed are shot anyway? All the police officer has to tell IA is he, she was afraid for their lives and they walk after successfully pulling tee trigger...the rest of that statement I have heard. And IF dismissed, the murderer usually has been able to migrate on to other municipalities to return to the streets as a racist murderer under cover of a badge. Or back out on their city streets under cover of badge and gun after receiving a slap on the wrist reprimand?

Generation after generation all the way up to the current racist, fascist calling himself potus.

I had my problems

with the Southern Baptists when I was a religious man. They started me researching American Christianity and the history of the Native-American genocide, slavery, segregation and the term "sub-human as the Southern Baptist see African-americans specifically

here's America at work providing Americans who are POC with unvarnished and open white supremacy.

Ms Taylor has rumours swirling around her murder concerning a "gentrification" project in her area

Mr Walker defending his home against a perceived threat is the same as Philando Castile.

I would like to know the racial makeup of the kill squad going after Ms Taylor.

But no matter, this is America today, yesterday and forever. And yes based on historical precedent, I can say this. African-Americans are easy targets for the racist LEO's in more ways than one.

the Brazilian trump has tested positive for COVID-19. Couldn't happen to a better person, in my book.

In this the reign of

king donald, queen ivanka, consort melania and counsellor jared 2020, I have just this to say, what does the 4th of July mean to George Floyd, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, 11 year old Tamir Rice, Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Dontre Hamilton, John Crawford III, Ezell Ford, Dante Parker, Tanisha Anderson, Akai Gurley, Rumain Brisbon, Jerema Reid, Tony Robinson, Phillip White, Eric Harris, Walter Scott, Freddie Gray, Philando Castile. Nothing. All are dead killed by white police officers except in the case of one Sylville K. Smith killed by a black police officer but did spark riots. This case just reminds me of S. African black police responding to unrest in the so-called black homelands". Just as vicious as white, even more so in trying to please their white masters.

I'd say all Americans and all racist countries on this planet have to try harder yet that's been tried already. As soon as this latest furore dies down, it will be business as usual with the white racists and all their conies, POC and white.

SCOTUS and us

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-will-hear-arguments-over-mueller-s-secret-evidence-a-delay-for-house-democrats-investigating-president-trump/ar-BB16fX9P?ocid=msedgdhp

It's stacked for at least a generation.

The SCOTUS will try to appear impartial in the next few months but in 5 months or so, we will have hell to pay

another unsucessful attempt

at whitewashing American history. Elaine, Tulsa, Rosewood and many, many others
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-ghosts-of-elaine-arkansas-1919?utm_source=pocket-newtab

I bring your attention to The total depraved hate and torture perpetrated upon the African-Americans in this massacre. Many massacred were veterans of WWI fighting in France. The cutting off of toes and ears to wear on necklaces, no doubt. How would I know? Soldiers in Vietnam made it a practice to cut off the ears of dead and dying VC to make necklaces.

This is what the American POTUS would like his white militias to do, no doubt in my mind.
