This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Being fawned over by those with paid access is not flattery United States Senators and Congress members.
Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. Along with a myriad of lessons this world teaches you; I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…
Article 22: What a Terrible Script!
I will go a different route with this digital posting. I have come to believe again in network television. Now don’t get me wrong. I love the adult themed shows. Yes, it is because I will turn 60 years old, but the renaissance is real. CBS, ABC and NBC have slowly been circling back around to their roots of good scripted dramas to which I am grateful. I won’t name the nightly primetime shows because I’m not on their payroll.
That said. President Donald J. Trump has never peaked my interest in anything he has ever co-written, starred in or had a minute cameo appearance. This ‘birthright’ citizenship tack to get the United States Supreme Court to give him his ‘coup de gras’ is so obvious I won’t say if those 6 conservative justices will see it.
What? Okay, let’s rewind American History about 200 years. What did the slave owners think of giving the slaves? Slave owners never wanted slaves to be thought of human beings. Slaves are property. Slaves were never to be granted rights that a ‘White’ man had to respect. Remember that? Slaves didn’t deserve to be educated because they were not human beings like White people. Slaves could be no more equal to a White man as stated by the 3/5 doctrine or Missouri Compromise.
Now. I’m not going to spell it out for you. Today. What do you think White Supremacists still believe? White Supremacists have believed that giving Negros, African Americans, or Blacks the same ‘standing’ would be an insult to the original status of why White Slavers bought and sold Black folks in the first place. Black people, according to White Supremacists, were never suppose to achieve the same ‘standing’ as White folks. (Huh? Standing? I’m sure you’ve heard of that saying in a court of law before haven’t you?).
Ah shucks, I guess I have to say it anyway. White Supremacists have been trying to unravel ‘citizenship’ for slaves and thus ‘ALL’ their descendants since the 14th Amendment was ratified!
Black people. Americans? What do you think will happen if one thread of that Amendment is loosened? Mic Check. Mic Check. The Dred Scott decision held that slaves did not and could not be citizens. Boom! Mic Drop!
Now, this is an incredible script written less than 12 years later. In 1868, the United States actually ratified the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. An event that finally brought justice to the ‘formally’ enslaved. That justice was citizenship!
Oh, sorry. The Dred Scott decision was brought down in 1857.
To the terrible script being written by White Supremacists through a useful ‘idiot’ in Donald J. Trump. White Supremacists know that if you keep chipping away at something it will eventually reveal a hole in the foundation. Is the U.S. Constitution that vulnerable to ‘partisan political buffoons’? Even ones in Black ‘robes’ no less? (Yeah, go figure why the color Black?). Robes as I’ve said before are meant to symbolize growth through rigorous denial of their own fatal human character flaws!
Now I will say something in defense of my White Brothers and Sisters that fear a powerful spiritual being. Black folks didn’t ratify the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was White folks.
That’s why I lamented the fact a few posts back on my website www.landcause.com that ‘why is it that White people are always the last to recognize evil and injustice in America’? My, ‘holding back the years’?
‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words’!
It is not enough that we live in a time where even our U.S. Supreme Court Justices cut a nice ribeye or T-bone steak smothered in mushroom gravy or garlic butter and think they are better than everyone else in America. While human beings are being ‘striped’ of everything they have from food, to medicine, to clean water to by golly the chance at living here, and around the world. Our high-falutin justices have directly caused the deaths of thousands of children. Now they want grace?
USAID was not a food stamp program. USAID was not a handout. USAID was built on a program that collected food and medicine that would otherwise be destroyed and gave it free of charge to the world’s most in dire need human beings!
United States Supreme Court don’t lecture me about grace! Don’t lecture me about bringing down the temperature. You all have directly approved a ‘TERRIBLE SCRIPT’ fostered by an evil man in Donald J. Trump.
Live with that ‘terrible script’ being played in a ‘doom loop’ over and over in the hearts of the suffering and dying because you told Donald J. Trump he could end USAID!
Enjoy your ‘Facey’ attitude amongst that insolent crowd of ‘rich’ people that so love to kiss your asses as long as you have something of value they desire. Fuck the rest of us right?
Black folks! Wake the Fuck Up!
