For the past few days, many Trump supporters have debated me on issues. For the record, I don't agree with Trump or his agendas. That is why they target me because I'm the type that knows my stuff. I'm not a person who hasn't researched information. I believe in reparations for black Americans outright. I disagree with imperialism. I believe things have to be done to help the environment from wildfires to climate change. I certainly believe in equality in promoting the basic human rights of all people. In my life, this is not new. I will be a better human being in the future fighting for justice. We live in a time when many Trump supporters believe in the lie of election denialism instead of democratic freedom. We live in an era when Trump supporters minimized systematic racism instead of confronting it. We live in a time when Trump supporters try to justify Trump's heinous actions, when the record documents his corruption, his lies, and his hatred of women (by calling many women evil names that are antithetical to the Golden Rule and common human respect).
MAGA supporters cry about free speech but many of them endorse suppressing anti-racism books in schools and libraries across America (not just in Florida and Texas). Trump supporters forget that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in reparations, they omit that Malcolm X criticized capitalism in 1965 in an interview, and they omit that Queen Mother Moore supported reparations for black people too. Generation Z should have great credit for voting massively during the 2022 midterm elections. Nabeela Syed is a 23-year-old Muslim, an Indian American woman who flipped a Republican-held suburban district. She will be the youngest member of the Illinois General Assembly. We have to learn about the past, work hard in the present, and work for a better future. We want a future where human beings can live filled with resources, justice, and a sense of happiness. Therefore, I will never waver in my core convictions at all. Not to mention that Pan-African unity is important to promote. African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-British, Africans, and all black people of the African Diaspora are part of one family despite our cultural differences.
In Iran, protests continue. Students and young people have protested in more than 200 towns and cities across Iran. It has gone on for 2 months with Iran issuing a government repression plan. The government of President Ebrahim Raisi has tried to stop the movement for social change, but solidarity protests have taken place in Europe, America, the Middle East, and other places of the world. The protests started after the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini by the regime's police forces. She was arrested for "improperly" wearing a hijab. Iran also has social and economic problems like high unemployment, corruption, and the monopolization of power by the Shia clerical establishment. The working class and the poor in Iran are fighting for their rights too. This comes after Trump banned the 2015 nuclear accords. The Gulf states is in an alliance with the West in opposition to Iran. The Iranian protesters are lasting longer than the protests in 2018 and in 2019. At least 14,000 people have been arrested in Iran. We want Iran to be free without being a client state of any other nation.
Yesterday was the Birthday of Brother Michael Jai White, and he is 45 years old. For decades, he has been an expert martial artist and movie actor plus director. He was born in New York City. He is an expert martial artist in Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Taekwondo, Kobudo, Tang Soo Do, Wushu, Ji Jitsu, Kyokushin, and boxing. He knows Kyokushin Karate very well. White was a former special education teacher and taught students with behavioral problems for three years. His breakout role was the 1995 HBO film called Tyson as the heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson. He was in the 1997 movie of Spawn. He was in the film Universal Soldier: The Return in 1999 with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He was in films like Exit Wounds, Undisputed II: Last Man Standing, Why Did I Get Married?, and Bone. By 2021, he played to make a movie studio in New Haven, Connecticut. He loves his wife Gillian White (her maiden name is Gillian Illiana Waters). Gillian is a martial artist herself. He loves his 3 children. Michael Jai White is part of the generation of black martial artists whose predecessors are people like Jim Kelly, Steve Muhammad, Ron van Clief, Moses Powell, Ronald Duncan, Vic Moore (Vic Moore defeated Mike Stone, Chuck Norris, Joe Hayes, Jim Kelly, Joe Lewis, and Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. Vic Moore is one of the greatest martial artists of all time. He trains with his daughter Vonnie), and Karriem AbdAllah. I wish Brother Michael Jai White more Blessings.
Yesterday was the Birthday of Brother Sinbad, and he is 66 years old. He is one of the most talented comedians of our generation. His gift is that he can tell jokes about everyday life on many issues in unique ways. He was born in Benton Harbor, Michigan. His father was a Baptist preacher. He graduated from Benton Harbor High School in 1974. Later, he attended the University of Denver at Denver, Colorado, where he lettered 2 seasons for the basketball team. He served in the United States Air Force for a time. Sinbad worked hard from having a role in A Different World to being on The Sinbad Show. He was the host for It's Showtime at the Apollo from 1989 to 1991. Sinbad has been in movies like First Kid, Jingle All the Way, Houseguest, and Rel. Sinbad loves his wife Meredith Fuller and their 2 children. Sinbad continues to be an inspiration to comedians and other human beings who desire their dreams to be realized fully. I wish Brother Sinbad more Blessings.
A Sister named Attorney Tracy Evette Davis won to replace the seat previously held by Mary Shaw. Shaw was the judge who signed the flawed search warrant that led to the murder of the late Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. Also, Rep. Karen Bass is still in the race for the mayor of Los Angeles. It is important to not underestimate Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is an extremist and a vindictive person who passed a literal poll tax for some voters, but he may run for President in 2024. We have to not let out guard down like many of us did about Trump back in 2015. Trump is lower than low. Trump criticized CNN and other networks including Jim Acosta, but Trump calls people out their names and made abhorrent comments for years and decades. The Trump cultists are so brainwashed that they think that Trump isn't a racist (when Trump called an Asian American woman a racist slur and called black women journalists low IQ. He also said that a Mexican American judge can't judge immigration cases fairly based on his Mexican heritage. These are overt examples of racism). Therefore, we will not be intimidated by Trump supporters. We will move forward in a progressive fashion in opposing bigotry and standing up for justice plus human decency.
