COLORED PEOPLE:
The STRIPES of Healing
Founding Statement:
This biweekly newsletter will seek to explain the pain and suffering mainly people of color endure through no fault of their own. The dehumanizing excuses our people always seem to elicit from people in power that make our Christian Brothers and Sisters accept their reasoning as if it was uttered by the Almighty. Lastly what I see with my own eyes begs the question from my conscience. “Are we loving or can we really love our neighbor as ourselves”.

Let me take stock of what we believe is left over for us to share? First though, let me remind people of what has been taken from all of us and given to the rich and wealthy in America.
Ready?
Billions of dollars taken from the National Institute of Health for cancer research that is the last hope parents have to save their dying babies. Billions in television, airwaves, internet, social media, satellite communications and streaming platforms to continue to charge Americans more money, restrict free speech, suspend, fire or blackball anyone Donald J. Trump tells them too.
Billions in government tax money contracts given to Donald J. Trump’s friend and stripper of cancer funding research guy Elon Musk. Donald J. Trump traveling around the world on the American taxpayers dime drumming up and being paid billions by foreign governments. Donald J. Trump’s family making money hand over fist off their government connections.
Oh, I’ve saved the best one for last. Give Billionaires and Millionaires over a Trillion dollars of taxpayers money for free! Don’t say it didn’t come from you Americans! Who do you think that Trillion dollar collection plate was passed around to? Is it magic money? Did it just drop out of thin air like ‘manna’ from Heaven into the Federal Government coffers to be doled out only to the wealthy?
No! No! No! It is collected from American taxpayers!
So, when a few Democratic and Independent Senators in the Federal Government get wobbly knees and weak stomachs I want them to remember all that I said above!
Now I was born 10 years later in 1966 after the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott ended in victory. It lasted over a year. Now let me tell you something. I spent 2 tours of combat duty in Afghanistan. That’s 2 periods of 12 months each. My country, America, asked of me to serve in the Army and defend a set of ideals.
What the fuck is the problem now! Every worthy thing, cause, venture, duty, sacrifice, and hardship that is for the betterment of humankind is worth a little suffering. So Donald J. Trump and Republicans that control the Federal House of Representatives, the Senate and the ‘elected’ members of the United States Supreme Court will run up the national debt by over 5 Trillion these next 4 years and these 4 or 5 Democratic Senators are squeamish now?
Tell us poor stupid Americans which part of the table should we wait at to best catch the most crumbs when they fall off the table. If they ever fall off that is. Probably a Republican or two will have to feel sorry for us and wipe some off our way. Don’t hold your breath though.
Get the fuck out of here!
