Don't allow them to divide and conquer us

We've all been seeing this on the news for quite some time now. Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Sean Bell, Eric Gardner. Do you see where I'm going with this? That was just a small list of black men that were victims of (police killings). Sandra Bland, Kindra Chapman, Joyce Curnell, Ralkina Jones, Raynette Turner, you still see where I'm going with this? For the men I may have jumped around between years and months but the list of women I mean that all happened in July of 2016. The Huffington Post published an article that stated that in the US there were at least 258 (police killings) of black men and women in 2016 according to a project called The Guardian that tracks (police killings) in America. I get so (angry) and so enraged when I read these articles and it's not enough to just be (angry). Something no excuse me some things have to be done. I never thought about being in politics. A couple of weeks ago I was approached by someone in my neighborhood saying they think I should run for a seat in my district council and I thought what? Me? But then it got me thinking and thinking hard. I will continue to argue about it in my head and maybe not this go round. But I have been taking baby steps. I want to keep myself informed so I thought I would go really slow and I signed up to be a poll worker do my research and listen to the issues of who is running. But that's for another post. We just cannot let them divide us. We are all considered less than "Americans". Black, Hispanic, Indian, Muslim,LGBT, shit women. I mean I can just go on and on. Think of the things we can accomplish if we stopped fighting against each other. If we stopped automatically gravitating to others that "look like us". If you can't see this with (Trump) as our president I can't help you. We need to stop looking the other way unless these things directly affect us. Any way this is just an introduction.

Men and Women, let's stop being bitches

  I have been away for a while because I felt some type of way about being told my posts are one-sided. I received some inspiration and motivation from a lovely Facebook group. I received some advice that makes sense. It's MY blog; I started it to say the things I want to say. If you prefer to read fluff, this is not the blog for you! Moving right along, I'd like to draw attention back to our President's son. A man who thought to release some email exchanges between him and a Russian music publicist that wanted him to have a meeting with a lawyer from Moscow. In the email, the agent says something along the lines of having dirt on Hillary and ending with Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump. You can find the transcript of the emails exchanged at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/11/transcript-donald-trump-jrs-email-chain-meeting-russian-lawyer/      If you still believe that man is innocent, you must be just a dumb as he is. As Trevor Noah, f...

Our dumb ass "President "

  So it seems there has been rumors of impeachment proceedings. With all the investigations and his obvious ignorance about the American people. He has tried to pass bills such as "the new affordable health care act". A bill which could leave up to 25 million Americans without health insurance. A good majority of his supporters are currently under "Obama care". What will they do now? Remember during his campaign he said that he was going to "take care of women"? How is defunding Planned Parenthood taking care of women? You do know that abortions are not the only thing that they do. There are men that also go to Planned Parenthood as well. Oh and let's not forget that under the new AHCA rape is considered a pre-existing condition as well as pregnancy. How is that taking care of women? Those same people that say abortions are wrong are the same ones claiming their tax dollars shouldn't have to pay for another single mother that made the "mistake...

Do we fear gay people more than police brutality?

I'm back! Anyway the other day I made 2 separate Facebook posts. One where I spoke about being brought up in a racially biased society. I spoke on a topic that has been studied and experimented with for about 30 years or so. If you don't know who Jane Elliot is, you should find out fast. In the late 1960s early 70s. Elliot was a third grade teacher and right after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated she decided to do an experiment on her third graders to show them what people of color are faced with every single day.The experiment is called "the blue eyed brown eyed experiment". It showed how the anger and urge to fight back comes so naturally. Anyway I won't spend too much time on that. If you'd like to know more visit www.janeelliot.com  . Continuing my second post posed this question: Can u give me a legitimate reason why being gay is wrong WITHOUT using God, the Bible or law/government. My second post (pertaining to the question of gay people) has 6...
