The age of coronavirus.

The rise of the coronavirus has grown the movement of economic nationalism. Economic nationalism believes in the false premise that workers overseas are responsible for economic job loss instead of the 1% creating policies that cause economic dislocation in the first place. The virus teaches us always that an imperfect economic system, which is complicit in world wars, slavery, ecological disasters, and other evils, has no right to lecture anyone on morality. Right now, Jeff Bezos or the founder of Amazon is the richest man on Earth. He has increased his fortune by $24 billion. Now, he has more than $138 billion in total resources. This comes while nurses, doctors, and health care workers struggle to have protective equipment worldwide. States are now competing against each for resources while Trump (who wants an executive order to ban all immigration into America with minor exceptions when the virus can travel across borders) callously says that he wants the states to have the primary role in addressing the matter.

The reality is that the Constitution gives the federal government great power in promoting the general welfare of Americans, to fund the development of equipment, and to financially assist those struggling (as cited in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution). The profit system is presided by a tiny amount of corporate and financial oligarchs. The wealth of ca. 250 billionaires in America alone has the net collective worth of $9 trillion. Many of us are blessed to have enough resources to sustain ourselves. Yet, there are other people who lost their families, who are homeless, and who are literally starving because of a lack of food. That is why many unsung heroes are using charities, other programs, and volunteerism (which is the hallmark of great Americans) in saving lives and blessing others. There is no solution without national and international collaboration. You need the best minds, who know about science, to work together in establishing concrete solutions.


Today, there is a new group of people. These people claim to be pro-black, but they are really sellouts. These people either bash every black man or they bash every black woman (which is wrong). These agents are in Youtube and other parts of the Internet. Like usually, I debated these people and refute them for years. I'm a debater by nature. I have refuted white racists, far right conservatives, and other extremists for over 10 years now. These new sellouts believe in throwing in the towel in dealing with the black community and just giving up on their own black people. They either are MGOTW or they just hate black people in general of the opposite sex. After all of these years of me living on this Earth, I never gave up on my people. You noticed that by my words and by my actions. I don't say slurs in private or public. I don't intentionally disrespect people. Also, it is important to not only criticize sellouts who hate black people. It is important to continue in our life journeys. The views of the haters don't matter. What matters is to learn information about our health, our political affairs, about culture, about music, and about solutions.

Far too often, you have some people yelling about problems (like Alex Jones, Umar, Polight, David Icke, etc. Yes, I will call out their names), but they offer no real solutions. I don't mean solutions from xenophobes like Tarqi Nasheed or right wing extremists like Candace Owens (or Trump). We need real solutions. Many people have given up after all of these years. In retrospect, they weren't for us in the first place. They were just buying their time. One thing that I'm glad about is that we have this opportunity in this generation to show our ideals, and to fight for solutions like living wages, education about financial literacy, mentorships, standing up for the human dignity of black women, opposing imperialism, being real, and collaborating in creating resolutions. Therefore, even in the year 2050 when I'm 67 years old, my core convictions will remain. That is part of my whole personal ideology.

We now that the President Trump has messed up this response. Also, Congress does have the responsibility to spend billions and trillions of dollars to help healthcare, transit, grocery, and other sanitation workers essential in any civilization. As high as 13 million people could lose their health insurance between March and July of 2020. Many small farmers, small business owners, and others could face bankruptcy unless something is done. That is why I respect the Congresspeople doing what is right while not agreeing with those who want the status quo. Certainly, we know what Trump is doing. Trump has encouraged the EPA to stop enforcing violations of prohibited pollution laws. Trump allowed the FDA to suspend inspections of plant exporters of foods and drugs in America. Trump has disrespected the post office (which is cited in the Constitution directly) on multiple occasions. The Senate voted to pass the near $500 billion coronavirus relief plan. This is why moderation and centrism don't work at all. Harriet Tubman, Dr. King, Malcolm X, and Sojourner Truth were not moderates. They were revolutionaries who wanted real change.
