Trump is a notorious coward. He has autocratic views where anyone that disagrees with him is called a liar when news organizations have documented tons of his lies. Donald Trump had promoted a false sense of grievance when he was born in privilege. He never was from the ghettos struggling to survive. He wasn't from a rural location experiencing rural problems. He is a rich person trying to prop himself up as some working class nationalist when he worked with business elites for decades, even before the 1980's. His rhetoric of mocking the media, slandering women, questioning the intellect of black people who oppose his retrograde agenda, and his words inciting violence have contributed to the events that we see now (which is about explosive devices being sent nationwide). He calls Democrats mobs, but many of his supporters include mobs of bigots who assault people and mobs of haters who curse out even innocent people. This midterm election is the most important election in our generation. A black woman and a black man in Georgia and Florida respectively could be the first black Governors of their states in history. There is record early voting, and we are inspired to make more history real. We will defend not only democracy but true freedom too. When you have a society and a current reprehensible administration filled with corruption, then reasonable people have every subsequent right to use any legitimate means necessary to enact peaceful social change.
When a so-called current President claims to want unity but still scapegoats the media when the media is the victim of a terrorist attack, then that person has no credibility to lecture anyone on civility. The perpetrator of these actions should be punished and experience justice. The incendiary rhetoric that this occupant in the White House has shown degrades people based on race, religion, and political philosophy. Therefore, we should never mimic the nihilism promoted by Trump. No one should coddle him either. He is a grown man over 70 years of age. He knows what he is doing, and he isn't insane. He is a narcissist who openly displays hatred and bigotry. The hypocrites (which include many conservatives, many GOP members, etc.), who lecture us on morality and character, openly support Trump when he has shown amorality and a lack of empathy. Trump jokes about controlling his rhetoric which shows his mockery of the responsibility to uphold democratic values. His words have provoked violence in America. This isn't new. Trump is a reflection of the past hatred that has existed in America for centuries. Many of my people are the recipients of violence as history has shown. We should be about our business advance true respect, dignity, and cooperation in establishing authentic solutions in building up society. Independent, progressive thinking will make a difference.
No one should be surprised at Megan Kelly's offensive support of blackface and then she made an "apology" to save face. She has been for years to be hostile to activists against police brutality. She worked on FOX and was on Bill O'Reilly's appealing to conservative extremists. That is why we can't be naive. Racists will be racists. We will fight racism and oppression. It is certainly our responsibility to encourage each other, stand up for truth, and build in our own communities so blessings can flourish. Suspicious packages have been sent to CNN headquarters at New York City, to the home of the Clintons, to the homes of Brennan, to the home of George Soros, to the office of Maxine Waters, to the office of Kamala Harris, to the home of former Attorney General Eric Holder, and to the office of former DNC chairman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. This evil event has many lessons. One lesson is that there is no excuse for anyone to execute violence against innocent people. There is no excuse for anyone to send bombs to random locations as a means to enact fear and violence either. All of these people, who were victims of these attempted attacks, are political people who disagree with the agenda of the extremist Donald Trump. We can agree to disagree with leaders without being violently disagreeable. For years, Trump has used words to not only incite fear but to incite violence. He has called for people to assault protesters. He has said that he wanted the police to harm suspects violently. He is the one who wishes to punch a dissenter in the face at a rally. He is the one that has gone out to use vulgar language to describe black people, women, and immigrants. Trump is a habitual liar. Therefore, we have to rise above hatred, but not be naive in our views. We believe in the freedom of the press, universal health care, and social justice. The far right reactionaries believe in intolerance, racism, and austerity. I'm glad that no one was hurt today. I believe in true unity and civility, but not compromise. I won't compromise my views for the sake of advancing some fake "unity." I believe in promoting my views while being peaceful in advancing my views.
When you think about a beautiful, strong black woman, you think of Ciara. It's her Birthday today, and she gives inspiration to women and men about how to achieve your dreams. Her gift and strength are that she is humble about her walk and honest in her journey. She doesn't possess a selfish ego and is always active to display an openness about her spirituality. A dancer, a singer, a businesswoman, and an actress all describe her life in absolute terms. She was born in Austin, Texas. She was raised in places all over the world as she was part of an Army family. During her teenage years, she lived in Atlanta. Atlanta is home to much legendary hip-hop and R&B musicians. By 2003, she was signed to Laface. One year later in 2004, her stardom bloomed into new heights with many records. Ciara was hailed as the "First Lady of Crunk&B." Everyone knows that she can dance. Touring the world is her specialty. From albums to TV show appearances, she has made her mark as a 21st-century star. Later on, she married the love of her life who is Russell Wilson.
She is the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. He is a man who has honor, loves his wife, and has respect for his family. Russell Wilson is also a humble man and a great person. Ciara made this point clear in her IG posts and in her music that you don't have to be brute to be a real man. You can be a real man by handling your responsibility and treating women the right way with dignity and with respect. Ciara is 100 percent right on that point. Ciara has done modeling, charity (like fighting for cancer research and investing in school supplies), and other actions that manifest her multifaceted career. She loves fitness too. She has many children, and we salute her accomplishments. Ciara shows us daily that we can use self-expression while honoring the essence of our individuality at the same time. She is a blessed woman. I wish Sister Ciara more Blessings.
