The Pandemic Crisis in America and the rest of the World.

We face serious challenges in our nation's history. Other nations like Germany, Norway, South Korea, and Canada have declined numbers of those infected with the virus, while America's cases has rapidly increased. The leader of the executive branch of America has denied the seriousness of this situation, delayed plans, and distracted people from the reality of the problem. While FOX News and other far right engines slander peaceful protesters as looters, we realize that Wall Street bankers have looted America's wealth for a long time. No corrupt Wall Street executive has been prosecuted in a great level. During this pandemic in 2020, large corporations have gotten ca. 500 billion dollars in bailouts and 135 billion dollars in bailouts. JP Morgan Chase has been caught discriminating against black and brown customers. Many workers are denied overtime pay.

Loopholes readily benefit the largest corporations on Earth. Many of these corporate entities don't pay federal taxes. Predatory lenders have harmed black communities for years. The prison industrial complex and the failed War on Drugs have ravished communities for generations. That is why the 1 percent in the oligarchy seeks to promote division. They want to use rhetoric that seek to falsely blame immigrants, the poor, black people, other people of color, progressives, etc. in order to omit that the blame should be placed on the super wealthy benefiting from a corrupt, corporate system in the first place. Folks like McConnell and Trump follow the principle of capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich. We know what works. We know that living wages, an UBI, eliminating discriminatory policies, eliminating redlining, targeting payday lending, reparations for black people, and other actions will help tons of people. That is why unity and solidarity to fight for our human rights is a necessity in order for us to establish the Promised Land for real.

Donald Trump revealed more of his racism. Today, he said that he doesn't mind people waving the Confederate flag in public or at his rallies, because to him they represent the freedom of speech. This is like telling Jewish people that someone waving a swastika at them is fine and freedom of speech. The truth is that the Confederate flag is hate speech, and it was created to promote slavery and racism against black people. The Supreme Court is rather clear that the freedom of speech is not unlimited, and that the government can regulate it. Sports agencies and many places have every right to ban Confederate flags. Trump has publicly promoted racist Confederate statues. Trump said that mostly white people die of police killing. He omits that a disproportionate amount of black people die as a result of police killings. We have sociological studies documenting racial disparities involving health, education, and the justice system. Trump lectures others on free speech, but he supported police authorities in Washington, D.C. to use tear gas and other weapons to harm peaceful protesters exercising their free speech rights. Saagar defending Tucker Carlson after his legacy of reprehensible comments and his writer being caught making racist, sexist remarks is not unusual. It is no secret that Krystal Ball having a show with a reactionary extremist like Saagar (who demonizes progressive people like Ihan Omar) is just normal for them. The truth is that they hypocritically decry identity politics, but they ignore that racial oppression is not just a class issue. It is also an issue of structural racism too.

The racist Tucker Carlson had been exposed by having one of his writers making racist and sexist remarks for years. This writer resigned after he was caught. Therefore, unjust hatred is wicked. I can't cite everything that Carlson said, because they are so offensive. Tucker, as documented by Media Matters, was caught saying that white men created civilization. We know that's a lie as the first humans on Earth are black people. Black people are the fathers and mothers of human civilization. Carlson also called Iraqis semilliterate and primitive. He said the racist lie that Iraqis don't use forks, etc. Tucker falsely accused the Congressional Black Caucus of blaming the white men for everything. The truth is that many white racists falsely blame black people for everything.

Chuck Woolery claims that everyone is lying about the coronavirus. He criticized doctors, Democrats, and other health experts. Back in the day, he hosted a dating show. Even back in the day when I was a child, I had an intuition that this person was a stone cold racist. I always sense vibes about people. This guy had the vibes. With his recent tweets and defense of the racist Donald Trump, it is important to trust your instincts. Chuck is the same joker who said in a Tweet in 2019 that "Racism has nothing to do with race." Woolery also said in 2017 that the Republicans never lynched, beat up, or did any other nasty thing to black people. He's a liar. Republican Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, the California Housing Act, and he joked about black Africans with a slur (in a private conversation with Nixon). Therefore, we know the truth. This guy Chuck is something else. Woolery has the nerve to say that Obama divided everyone by color when Obama went out of his way to give moderate speeches on race. The truth is that this virus is for real, and thousands of people have passed away from it. Some sad news is that there has been the recent passing away of many people. The daughter of Nelson and Winnie Mandela passed away at age 59. Her name was Zindzi Mandela. She was South Africa's Ambassador to Denmark. Zindzi was a heroine in her own right. Kelly Preston, or the wife of John Travolta, passed away of cancer recently. She was 57 years old, and John Travolta gave a passionate statement in celebrating the life of her wife. Authorities have found the body of Naya Rivera at a lake. She was famous for the show Glee. These stories show us how life is sacrosanct.
