The Truth is Always Eternal.



It is always important to have our own independent thinking. My black ancestors were treated very harshly by people who didn't care for the humanity of others. My ancestors built heavily the foundation of American society. The reason why you see a lot of people in privilege today is because of the ancestors. Many of the same people in privilege have the nerve to lecture others about how black people shouldn't have reparations when other ethnic groups in America received reparations. It is also important to note that black men and black women back then and today stood up to fight for justice and real change. Black people have fought in every American war, worked in many occupations, and continue to make great contributions in the world stage.

That is why we, as black people, should never let anyone else tell us how to think, act, or feel. You have some racists even saying that black men back then were equivalent in power to white slave owners. That slanderous lie is not part of history. Black men and Black women toiled to death in the fields not too long ago without pay. If someone disrespects black men or if someone disrespects black women, that person is a total agent (and a fraud). Far too often, many politicians try to ignore the interests of black people while they wouldn't dare to do this to other communities (because they know full well that they will be boycotted and heavily criticized). It is wrong for some to reap the benefits of the black struggle for freedom while showing hatred for black people. Also, it is not only important to criticize racists like Trump, Howard Stern, Don Imus, Boris Johnson, and others. It is also important to disagree with people who love to tap dance like Sotomayor, Candace Owens, Tariq (who spews misogyny and xenophobia against people of the African Diaspora), Corey Holcomb (who is known for his sexist words and disrespect of our black ancestors), Jesse Lee Peterson, etc. Therefore, I want Trump out of office (and I will vote Trump out of office in 2020), but I also believe that as a black person I will maintain my independent political thinking.

Trump's letter to Nancy Pelosi is filled with lies and exaggerations. Trump claims that this impeachment situation is a witchhunt and against democratic values. The reality is the opposite. The Trump administration's policies represent a war on American democracy and a hatred of the rule of law. He wrote the lie that Democrats are the enemy of democracy. Trump is a desperate person with a guilt complex. Trump has used actions to disrespect the dignity of immigrant children. He is the one who has disregarded legal subpoenas. He is the one who has said racist and sexist comments for years and decades. That is why multiple women have accused him of sexual misconduct. He is the same person who has promoted a Muslim ban and tried to bribe Ukraine to get dirt on the Bidens. Trump has obstructed justice. Trump ordered White House Counsel Don McGahn to create a false record indicating that no attempts took place. McGahn refused to so so. Trump invokes religion when he doesn't believe in asking God for forgiveness for anything. He has gone out of his way to praise neo-Confederates, slave owners,  and white nationalists. Therefore, Trump is the true enemy of democratic rights.


In India, there are mass protests about the the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s Hindu supremacist “Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019." Many university students angered both by the discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the police’s violent assault on students at Jamia Millia Islamic University (JMI), who have been in the forefront of anti-CAA protests in India’s capital, Delhi. The police illegally came on the JMI campus and assaulted students with tear gas, etc. Five female students valiantly came to the defense of a male colleague who was being beaten by a half-dozen police, shielding him from lathi-blows with their bodies.The university condemned the police brutality and vowed to fight onward. The Modi government allows anyone from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh before 2015 (except Muslims) who migrated to India to have total citizenship.

In life, never ever say that you can't. There are paralyzed people who know complex mathematical equations. There are people with multiple disabilities with happy homes, children, and a very blessed life. There are people who suffered horrendous turmoil, but rose up to be great scholars and great leaders in real life. Therefore, folks should always recognize their intrinsic value and recognize the great light that they possess in their souls. Greatness is not found in fame, but in inward power that can cause humanity to achieve great things. The Trump administration is having a war against the democratic rights of the American people. Trump should be charged with more than 2 articles in my view. Trump should be impeached on more than just 2 counts. Trump promoted the separation of immigrant children and parents. He promotes the unconstitutional building of a border ban. He advances an illegal ban on Muslim visitors from certain nations, and he has whipped up racist, xenophobic, and fascist forces in the world. Also, it is important to stand up against the censorship of the Internet agenda. The problems with the National Defense Authorization Act is that it removes the provision that bars U.S. military assistance to the Saudi war in Yemen, it doesn't ban the deployment of submarine launched medium range missiles that violate the INF treaty, and it eliminates requiring Trump to get congressional approval for military strikes on Iran.
