As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
Issue 20: ‘But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these’?
Pretending to be stupid is not becoming a sentient being. Just because you let yourself be bamboozled is not the fault of the person committing the offense against you. It’s your fault. So wake up and accept the facts of where we find ourselves America. Just like Job said when he was responding to someone’s interpretation of why he was suffering the loss of material things. You had the ability to interpret the choices you most certainly had before you in 2024 to allow a con man in Donald J. Trump to rule America. America chose Donald J. Trump.
Now. The question is how do we blunt the impacts Donald J. Trump will have the last 2 years as he destroys as much of the progress America has made the last hundred years?
We got exactly the benefits contained in the choice we made. Period! Donald J. Trump never gave a dam about governing. Please? C’mon man. Don’t do that. Don’t pretend you had no idea who or what sort of person Donald J. Trump was? You knew exactly who Donald J. Trump was!
It’s just like the companion video I made that blends nicely with this digital commentary. It’s about my frustration when White people that aren’t White Supremacists respond with, ‘I didn’t enslave any Black person. Why do I have to pay reparations’? Answer. ‘You don’t have to have had a hand in creating a system that you now benefit from generic White person’. White privilege is real!
Oh, another thing. See that’s why I was glad MSNBC at the time kicked Craig Melvin off the cable network. Watch that weak ass response with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the NBC Today Show and you’ll know why I was glad they booted him off. He let Rubio say Donald J. Trump had the right to kick CNN, MSNOW, and POLITICO out of ‘my house’.
The White House does not belong to Donald J. Trump! That was totally disgusting to watch. Luke Russert of the Weeknight on MSNOW had the correct response that Craig Melvin should have gave that pompous Rubio in the moment! ‘My house! My house’! That’s how Luke Russert saw it! That’s the reaction Craig Melvin should have had in the instant Rubio said that shit!
Anyway. Nobody is superior to anybody else on this planet. You may be able to comprehend more specialized information than the next person, but you’re not superior to anybody. White Supremacists or anybody that thinks they are.
Oh Lord help me.
Be well.
