Important Social and Cultural Issues.

 

Once again, Trump shows hostility, racism, and jealousy against black women journalists. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor asked Trump a legitimate question about Trump's social media message about threatening to use the military in Chicago. The media has every right to ask the Resident in the White House legitimate questions about policies. Trump didn't response in grace or professionalism. Trump shown antipathy, hatred, and unprofessionalism by screaming at Alcindor and calling her names. This shows the fruit of MAGA. MAGA is not about tolerance or fair dealing. It is a demonic agenda that abhors dissents, hates of love of diversity, and desires a whitewash of true American history. Yamiche Alcindor just asked this male if he was going to war with Chicago. Instead of being a real man and just say yes or no, Trump went on a disrespectful rant against the black woman journalist. Trump told her to be quiet and listen. She is better than me. Trump later denied trying to go to war against Chicago. How is he going to clean up Chicago when he supports tariffs harming American workers, he has gone out to suppress democratic rights, and he has been overt to glorify violence and pardon terrorists from January 6th. That hypocrite lectures others on crime and law and order, but he is a convicted felon on multiple counts. Trump called Alcindor second rate. Trump is not only intimidated by black women. Black women are a reflection of his white racist insecurities.

Recently, Professor Eddie Glaude had a debate with Joe Scarborough on policing. Joe let his true colors out as being not only condescending to Eddie Glaude but also ignorant and race-baiting. Joe talked to Glaude like he was one of his servants when Eddie Glaude is a grown man. Joe is the same person who defended Truman using atomic weapons murdering civilian locations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Joe is the same person who idolized Pat Buchannan, an overt white racist, and supported the far right Gingrich movement of the 1990s. Eddie Gaude was a gentleman responding to Joe's far right talking points with grace and intellectual power. One thing about me if I was on that panel, I would have used a lot of different type of language on that panel absent profanity, because I'm a controversial person. Joe Scarborough wanted Democratic mayors to support National Guard troops in cities and Guade just said that you need a nuance approach to deal with crimes not just using trained police (but also investments in poor communities, job programs, fighting poverty, investments in anti-crime interventionists, etc.). Joe Scarborough then invoked Gaude being a professor acting like Eddie Glaude was out of touch with black people, especially black people who are working class, because of Glaude being an academic. This is an old, disrespectful racist lie from Joe Scarborough. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski visited Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the 2024 Presidential election, but they claim to oppose many of Trump's views. Eddie Gaude (who just wanted to expose the excesses of the War on Drugs and other reactionary policies that failed because of violations to human civil liberties and other reasons) is from the Deep South from Mississippi with massive ties to black working class people. Eddie Glaude is the living epitome of the black experience (who have roots from Mississippi), and for this male Scarborough to imply that he has not the same black experience as brothers and sisters in poorer communities is racism. Many of Glaude's friends are in the Upshur family (many members of the Upshur family are my distant cousins in real life). Just because a black man is an academic professor, doesn't mean he doesn't know black life in the ghetto. For example, Dr. King was an academic who knew of poor black life and Dr. W.E.B. DuBois knew black life in Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, and all over America. The stereotype that every black academic is out of touch with black people is racist and ignorant. Joe's ignorance goes beyond that. He invoked black women saying that most black women oppose crime which is true. Also, most black women don't support Trump, don't support police brutality, most black women oppose Trump's authoritarianism, and reject black dehumanization in the name of "law and order." This liar Joe Scarborough implied that Eddie Glaude called black women having a "moral panic" about crime when Glaude loves and supports black women. Glaude never said that black women have a "moral panic" about crime. What he did said that solving crimes requires complex solutions beyond a policing alone approach. Black women and black people in general abhor crime, but we want crime to end using fairness, strength, and justice without overreach. The assumption by people of Joe's ilk that black academia is somehow antithetical to black liberation politics or pro-black working class people is the height of racism.

The New York Times reported on a top banker that facilitated Epstein's crimes (from JP Morgan) This protection involving handling 1 billion dollars for him and hid conflicts. Also, Russia has unleashed its largest drone assault of war against Ukraine. While, this is going on, Trump has imposed no sanctions on Russia or tariffs. He invited and talked with the war criminal Putin in Alaska, and he has restricted military aid to Ukraine. Trump cut intelligence sharing, and he was booed at the U.S. Open in Queens, New York City. Trump has stopped all U.S. democracy support abroad, withdrew U.S. support for Baltic security, and this is proof that Trump is on the wrong side of history. Steven Miller is a liar. Miller said that President Biden saw American gain zero jobs in four years while Trump saw only net positive job growth. The truth is that with Biden, we saw over 13.5 million jobs created since January 2021. With Trump, there was a loss of 2.9 million jobs net across his 4 year first term.

Kelly Price's comments are not only wrong. They make a point that we should talk about two issues. One issue it that takes a coward to collectively generalize black women because of a few narrow-minded people. Her calling black women "DEI hires" is a MAGA dog whistle and sellout behavior. Black women worked hard every day for millennia on this Earth, and their accomplishments should be respected. Price's words are misogynoir and has no place in society. Then, Kelly Price said that she is tired of black people which shows her self-hatred. Many of us black people are tired of racism, police brutality, discrimination, imperialism, genocide, anti-black scapegoating, and other evils that Kelly Price refuses to talk about in her nefarious comments. She made the old manosphere, Hotep lie that black women are some of the nastiest, disrespectful people on God's planet Earth. For her to invoke God shows her blasphemy and taking God's name in vain. 

Last time I have checked, black women never organized the Holocaust which murdered six million Jewish people and millions of other human beings. Black women never created the Maafa and American slavery that resulted in the death and oppression of millions of black people. Black women never were involved in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki causing over 200,000 deaths. Black women never created Jim Crow and the peonage system (which was virtually slavery that happened as late as the 1940s). Black women never were in Chicago to have an anti-disco rally, and black women never caused 9/11 plus never caused the January 6th insurrection. These actions were never caused by black women. You know what black women did. A Black woman gave birth to me as a black person. Black women have stood up for civil rights and voting rights like Septima Clark, Ella Baker, Daisy Bates, Gloria Richardson, etc. before Kelly Price was born. Muni Long said similar nonsense before. The truth is that meanness is not based upon color but character. The other issue is that the bullying and the dehumanizing disrespect that Kelly Price has experienced has no justification. We should never use offensive language against people based on their physical appearance. Yet, people should not take that out on all black women or black people collectively. Ironically, some of the biggest fans of Kelly Price's music are black women. The only thing that I do agree with Kelly Price's comments is that any man is a coward if he disrespects a woman that has never done anything to him. I disagree with Claressa Shields co-signing Price's comments. Price is wrong to assume that a majority of black women will judge her clothes and appearance. That's just plain self-hatred. I don't agree with body shaming. In real life, I know tons of righteous black women filled with hope, glory, and inspiration to help people. Many people are found here. So, Kelly Price does need therapy and prayer.
