Our nation is in a political and social crisis brought about from both the ineptitude of our politicians and dismal leadership outside the electoral sphere. America is in a state of paralysis unable to mature and evolve as a modern sovereign nation.
Every public and private space sphere in the nation is under stress and in some venues under siege.Our educational and justice systems are soaked in racial and class disparities. Our economics are contaminated by inequitable disparities in wealth. America is experiencing an era of fragility and the absence of stability especially in our governance. In social and private spaces in the nation families are in a state of collapse from opiate drugs to the economics of securing shelter and health care options. In the public arena civility and decency are under assault. Progressive ideas in educational venues are ridiculed and undermined by the ineptitude and dismal shortcomings of those in state legislatures that fund our educational systems in America .
It is critical despite the speculative and fear mongering of Constitutional scholars this quest for a Constitutional Convention needs to become viral.America must engage in a transformative and profound strategy to alter and fundamentally change the governance model and blueprint on goverment in our nation.
We need a Constitutional Convention after our national elections. The last constitutional convention was in 1787 and it lead to the creation of our US Constitution. A document that is inherently flawed and constructed because its drafters did not include the genius of Women, Black and Native Americans and others in its composition and design.
This flawed and mediocre constitution codified slavery, anti voter provision ( Electoral College) and omitted concrete language and provisions which valued our environment and the rights of women and animals as well as other profound matters involving religion and the right to death, as well issues involving justice and declarations of war.
The US Constitution is obsolete and a document of obstruction, in its current state its prevents and hampers the maturation and evolution of a sovereign nation in the 21 Century. Today we have the capacity to have national referendums that reflect the will of the people not the agenda of politicians, lobbyists and the uber rich.
We need governance that prohibits life time tenure for SCOTUS and federal judges. We need a revised constitution that limits the power of the executive branch. We need a constitution that mandates an election process that allows for on demand elections of federal elected officials . We need a constitution that alters and calibrates the branches of government in our federal space including a change in the composition of the senate and the end of imperialism in federal courts as well.
The governance model and blueprint designed over centuries ago by a narrow bandwidth of White only Americans has matured and created a sovereignty crisis in America. Right here and Right now we have the ability to alter the trajectory of America. The US Constitution has been amended 27 times since the charter of America was written .
We can’t wait to revise our constitution it is critical that we act now to revive the soul of America starting with a constitutional convention to restore the trust in our governance model and those who are elected stewards of our republic.
God Bless America

Murder by Cop via Home Invasion in America
Once again by any means necessary an unarmed Black American was executed in America by a White police officer this time in his home .
This latest unlawful killing of an unarmed Black American included a trial where the Black Judge showered pro cop rulings , hugs and a bible on the killer cop. The judge’s bailiff even combed the hair of the killer cop.
Unfortunately the brother of the deceased wrapped his self around the killer and gave a passionate hug during the sentencing phase with the Judge’s aggressive approval. It was an outrageous display of disgrace and selfishness on behalf of the deceased’s brother.
Forgiveness was weaponized to kill the deceased in a courtroom in America and rejoice was in air all on the soul of another unarmed Black American. I feared the Judge and the deceased brother was going to take a selfie.
It is disheartening and unsettling to witness such deprivation in a courtroom in America

WHITE LIVES HAVE ALWAYS MATTERED
Given the angst and criticism of the BLM Movement it is incumbent to recognize that White Lives in America don’t require a movement to secure their safety, presence and agency in America. The data and overwhelming empirical evidence continues to confirm that White Lives have always Mattered in America for centuries.
What is more important and salient than the acknowledgement of the reality of White Lives in America is how can others achieve and secure such station, status and identity in America as Whites have secured in America from economic dominance to massive political power.
Rather than wage an uncivil war with White America on the merits of which lives matter for those of us who are not White our focus encompasses much more than seeking parity and standing with Whites in America but more importantly our agenda which includes defining and creating what matters to us is paramount to any contest of racial identity and hegemony.
When it is necessary to confront the privileges and status of Whites in our pursuits of our inalienable rights to life, liberty and happiness this where our focus must not be strategic and outcome driven but centered on our core agenda while also having the dexterity to manage the agenda and realties that White Americans have with us.
Black Americans in particular must abandon the backward math equations that require us to be three times as worthy of White Americans in our pursuits and efforts to achieve our goals in America. The genius of persona in America continues to perpetuate our existence in America.
Black Lives have always mattered in America. The most important aspect of this reality is the acknowledgment and acceptance within Black America of our value and essence . This recognition and affirmation is the way forward for Black America.
In America today with all of its competing interests the way forward requires not only an attitude that transcends the history of racial narratives but multiple platforms which invent, expand, cultivate the genius of Black America while knowing White Lives Matter in America.

Human Politics
In America now the current state of being is a condition of scripted agenda driven interactions often between individuals and institutions . The only bandwidth of authentic expression in America now originates in our children but even now their personalities are being contaminated by the prevailing aura of politics.
Americans are consumed by the narratives of collective mantras and manifestos that contaminate and creates political identities. We must find a path for generations that evolve and include the foundation and the spontaneity of innocence still present in our children.
Americans that have the courage to engage in the state of humanity must emerge in our nation. become instinctive and more importantly humane again.

State of Virginia -2019
The recent meltdown in
Virginia reflects a collage of America’s race, gender, class and politics
grounded in the state of Virginia. It is fair to declare that every state in
our union mirrors the maladies that exist in America. Our nation is
reeling from the inability of Americans to mature and evolve on Race, Gender,
Class and Politics. Our elected officials in truth do reflect the mandates and
demographics of their constituents. This reflection includes, immorality,
corruption as well as the inspiration and altruism of their constituents.
Virginia’s elected officials
in Richmond have failed for years in confronting the racism and legacy of
Virginia. The entire legislative body of Virginia including the Governor, Lt.
Governor, Attorney General, as well as both Black and White elected members of
the Virginia Legislature have done nothing in years to end the racist tribute
to Lee and Jackson before the MLK Holiday in Virginia. The continuing racial
divisions in Virginia is not just an aspect of the Southern region of the state
the Northern region of Virginia is also soaked in backward racial attitudes and
behaviors.
Women in any region of the
state are discounted and weary of the realities of sexual harassment and being
treated with less parity than men especially Women of Color in Virginia others
in Virginia from its immigrant citizens to be handicapped and seniors in the
state are also marginalized and their basic humanity is often held in contempt.
Virginia’s public and private business sectors also mirror the demographics of
the state as well as it waves of prosperity and lulls. The administration of
Justice in Virginia echoes the nation’s shortcomings as well yet the state has
endless private and public focused charities and volunteers that don’t forget
the plight of the homeless and the poor. All is not in despair and gloom in the
commonwealth of Virginia.
Virginia of course is not the
Confederate state of its past it has matured, evolved and left many of the
scars of its history behind. The state continues to be a work in progress it is
not a canvass of decay and regression.
The way forward for Virginia
is not be contaminated by the missteps of its elected officials and voters.
Plane Ideas is not giving up on the Commonwealth of Virginia.
