Oftentimes it takes contemplating how Black folks lives have been defined for us throughout all times by people who were not Black. This truth cannot be denied no more than I can change the color of my skin nor allow myself to be categorized and lessened. Therefore, I must take this journey of discovery as all my valiant and resilient ancestors have sojourned in a world where false judgments were presented as the standard of righteousness. Righteousness added to humility with the grace of God may be the answer.
VOLUME X: ‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day’
Americans. A question to you. Have you ever heard of anybody in America that caged a full grown grizzly bear and got in the cage with it? Sounds insane doesn’t it? Some of you may be thinking. Why did I release this chaos unto my ‘life’ when a better choice was given unto me to consider? Why didn’t I consider voting for Vice President Kamala Harris? Why did I unlock the cage and get in the cage with a grizzly bear knowing full well the male or female bear would rip me to shreds? Why?
Donald J. Trump is that grizzly bear. A predator looks for easy prey to kill and devour. Donald J. Trump is a symbol of the worst kind of human being we can ‘get into bed with’. Yeah. I know that turns a lot of stomachs, but the analogy is fitting.
I am doing these digital postings as part of my responsibility as a citizen. Donald J. Trump must be held accountable on November 3rd, 2026. That’s the day of reckoning people. The day America that we can do for ourselves what God has done for many a people in his creation. See. We have the power now. I was watching a generational descendant of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that happened to be a young Black woman today. She said, ‘Freedom is not a spectator sport. It is not activated from the sidelines’. That probably wasn’t a direct quote, but it is close I believe.
We can elect the Democrats to stand in the ‘breach’ against that vile White Supremacist buffoonish man Donald J. Trump on election day November 3rd, 2026. We won’t be able to get rid of Donald J. Trump, but we can get rid of a sizable number of the Republicans in Congress. I sure wish I could claim the power of God and say that we can ‘throw’ out all the Republicans from Congress, but that would be putting myself in the place of the ‘Great Spirit’. The ‘First Father’.
I cannot make that declaration. I wish I could end the ‘passivity’ of the Republicans who are directly responsible for allowing Donald J. Trump the clearance to bring ‘Hell, Disease, Murder on the High Seas, and downright Thievery unto us all.
‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day’! There. I put an exclamation point on it just to drive the desperation home. Everything America has strived to achieve is being lost. Our rights as decent human beings to treat each other as we treat ourselves has been blasphemed by our 6 Conservative Republican Supreme Court Jesters. Dam it! I mean Justices. All our struggles to be better human beings is on ‘life support’. Our virtues are always knocked down by the worst of us.
I can’t help but remember that little Black girl running away from the water cannons of that evil Birmingham City Commissioner Eugene ‘Bull’ Connor with her leg broken. I wasn’t born in 1963, but I’ve watched those records of history many times. The little Black girl was hopping away on one leg until a Black man saw her and picked her up and ran with her from those high pressure water hoses. Hoses that pinned all those Black bodies to the various buildings in downtown Birmingham. Don’t let me forget the attack dogs ripping apart flesh!
Let me leave it there. I will never yield to evil. I hope no apathetic White person ever ‘bears’ the force of injustice slamming against their bodies like those powerful water hoses did my people in my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama.
Oh. Just. I hope nobody bears such pain and hatred against their people again, but I know my country has the Republican political party that keeps fanning the embers of ‘The Fires of Hatred’. The Republicans would have no political power without ‘hatred’ in their arsenal. It’s their best weapon and they wield it early and often with determined passion.
Please. Be well.
