Deportation Politics

Once our society starts to accept the deportation of people based not only on politics but also upon the race of those those being deported the policy of exclusion returns to America 

When Non-Whites are the primary target of exclusion and removal from America the next stage is the return to segregation inside our country.

Exclusionary employment , housing and political practices are now returing within America .

It is evident in Trump’s White House with its absence of diverse decision makers in his inner circle and we observe it in the racially segregation themes of Anti-DEI and MAGA sentiments 

Politics of Antisemitism

There is no epidemic of Antisemitism anywhere in America 

The most dangerous collective on college campuses are WOMEN not any religious group 

The overwhelming majority of Jewish-Americans self identify as White 

The overwhelming majority of hate crimes in America target Black Americans not Jewish-Americans or White Americans

The Anti-DEI campaign has used Antisemitism as a tool and weapon against DEI and to divide Black and Jews Americans 

Unfortunately it has more success in Jewish American society than Black American  society in America

I need Help!!

 Every time I drive by the MLK Memorial on the tidal basin in DC, I get nervous and soaked in anxiety .

I pray that his majestic presence is there, hoping that there won’t be any barricades blocking entry into the memorial or it wasn’t removed in middle of night by an act of racist cowardice by the Trump Regime 2.0

I have committed myself that in a situation where an iconic historical Black American artifact is removed in my presence I would stop such an act of Black American erasure.

I need help.. 

I need the federal employees, the contract employees, the volunteers at our public venues to refuse to participate in the erasure of Black Americans and our history in our nation

Regime Change in America

 Regime Change in America 

There were no loud explosions nor chaos in the streets,troops did not flood the avenues and enclaves of America ‘s streets and roads. No manifesto was not distributed by air drop nor was there a state of martial law issued, America elected an Authoritarian aka Trump Regime 2.0

In the post industrial era of America political, cultural, and economic realities are unlike anything our country has experienced. The very fabric of life in this era is altered by the forces of technology and the global economy and marketplace.Traditional platforms of interaction with elected officials has been fundamentally altered.  The Federal Government via Executive Orders has now replaced the local elected legislatures ( city councils)  and the core of power. 

The micro polices of local governance have been structurally altered with the micro intervention of the Federal Government  aka DOGE into the daily operational management of the local public sector.

Into this new platform of political metrics the role of governance has been forever fundamentally altered. The ruling class in partnership with centralized a private billionaire has altered the Federal government and has designed and modeled a form of governance which removes local  representatives from their  local oversight and control of the daily public sector and public services ( to include Educational districts)  and replaced them with a new Federal centered paradigm for governance  aka DOGE

The new global marketplace of goods and services  require a new type of governance structure which is efficient and measured. This new model is driven not by consensus and policy concerns of the community  but by mandates and financial objectives of the marketplace as defined by the Federal government under the control of Trump 

Policy is no longer driven by the will of the people. What underwrites the role of political systems now is administrative platform designed and shaped by the Federal government via the edicts of Trump where there are no decision makers the reflect ghe diversity of America . Local themes and interests no longer have standing nor social or cultural currency.

Civic principles which historically  have focused on the community are now factored as economic metrics rather than civic goals. What is more  important is not the percentage of voters who cast a vote but the percentage of voters that are in compliance with DOGE driven administrative  budgets and fiscal policies.The notions of democracy and the will of the people no longer have any currency in this real time regime change' model  being played out 

The DOGE (Emergency Manager) is tasked with defined administrative objectives none which have the people's agenda, America is no longer a place where public policy is underwritten by elected representatives of the people. The 'regime changes' in America have been accomplished  and has transpired without a body count, political prisoners or blood in the streets. 

Citizens live under a threat of a surreal state of martial law,compliance and surveillance are here and resistance is the only way forward to save America

Political Gymnastics -Knee Bending to Trump

Of late in our nation people, institutions and businesses that were once revered and recognized as principled are now bending the knee to Trumpism

To witness such cowardice , hypocrisy and surrender is disturbing and unfortunately continues not with regrets but with a sense of glee and eagerness 

Soon and not later Americans will confront on demand requests for their ‘papers’

Soon and not later the deportations that are assaulting the safety of people who don’t look like MAGA or share the religious beliefs of Judaism and Christianity will now  be expanded 

Sexual Identity, Partisan Politics and of course the RACE on an American will be triggered and when that happens in America the collapse of our republic will end 

Dept of Injustice

Trump’s has now made the White House in 2025 the Whitest place in our federal government. The DOJ will no longer open cases involving police shootings of unarmed Black Americans 

The DOJ will no longer seek punishment or sanctions against Police Departments across America that have extensive incidents of police misconduct etc etc

White racists like Trump emboldened more White racists …. During the Civil Rights Era of America our law enforcement agencies frequently intimidated and harassed Civil Rights workers with immunity , I expect even worse from the DOJ and now law enforcement agencies in America 

Look around and there is an obvious absence of Black Americans in the inner circle of Trump, no lawyers, nor advisors not even a driver 

Trump has created a silo that excludes Black Americans in any pivotal decision making process that creates policy in  our nation

Trump has no interest in the lives of Black Americans except his deliberate assault on DEI  across the spectrum of our federal government including high ranking Black Americans in our military 

This policy of racial segregation in the White House is outrageous and unacceptable and at its core disgraceful and extremely disturbing

Betrayal

 Betrayal 

The ease in which so many public institutions, private businesses , colleges and even our military rushed to embraced the erasure of DEI in their operations was shocking on so many layers 

The message to Black Americans in particular was truly disturbing and on many personal levels chilling knowing even many of our White peers gleefully championed Trump’s racist EO’s

Once again in our own country the stark realization that , We never really mattered  and these acts of betrayal despite our loyalty as forever customers , student athletes  and dedicated volunteers  had zero currency and value  this truth stings and will leave regrettably scars 

Black Americans believed , We were part of the corporate  mission and university culture , and the mantra of  no person in the military  would be left behind was a lie and nothing more that hollow slogans and empty banter 

Trump’s racist DEI edicts will forever leave scars in Black Americans and our communities…..

Harvard’s Performative Resistance

 Before the rush to declare that Harvard as the lone university aka White Knight in resisting the Trump’s agenda it is factually true that Harvard was already bending the knee and capitulating to Trump

‘Harvard moved to oust two leaders of its Center for Middle Eastern Studies, paused a partnership with a Palestinian university, then agreed to start one with an Israeli school.

Harvard was also not among the top universities listed as plaintiffs in court challenges to the Trump administration’s proposed changes to research-funding formulas.’ (NYT4-16-25)

So given these facts is Harvard now just engaging in negotiations and posturing ? Is this an act of reactionary performative art by Harvard and nothing 

Hmmm…

The Betrayal of many White Progressives

Frequently in MSM and Substack there is this fixation over White Progressives and their importance in a variety of issues 

Black America has never been fixated with White Progressives especially Black Activists and why is that?

Many White Progressives are unfortunately very situational and simply not reliable when they should be especially with regards to issues like Civil Rights and Politics 

For example witnessing so many of them betraying Black Americans on DEI , Academic Freedom and issues surrounding Israel and Antisemitism 

When Trump was elected this feat was not solely the result of MAGA but also the fact that many White Liberals and Progressives didn’t want Harris as POTUS for obvious reasons  gender and race.

Yes without question many White Progressives are still our allies and won’t betray Black America but unfortunately many will when it really matters 

Antisemitism as a prop for Deplorable Messaging

It is extremely disturbing to observe so many in the Jewish diaspora in America supporting the racist political and polarization in our nation by Donald Trump.

To witness prominent Jewish leaders in particular remain silent and tolerant of inserting the real time  evil of Antisemitism as a prop and performative politics that seek to silence Academic Freedom and DEI in our educational institutions and other venues in our country is disheartening and disgusting.

For those Jews of color in the Jewish diaspora being a witness to the affirmation and acceptance of the politics of antisemitism as a tool of  marketing and messaging by Trump with approval and tolerance by so many Jewish leaders and groups is not only extremely divisive but disturbing.

There has always been an under current of bigotry, racism including extreme conservatism in the Jewish diaspora that is ignored, deflected and soaked in denial.

For Jews of color in America the reality of racism is far more significant and evident than acts of antisemitism  in America, in this context observing prominent Jewish leaders and groups applauding and appeasing Trump’s attacks on Academic Freedom and DEI is unacceptable and deplorable.

The embracing of such a twisted and divisive usage and messaging o of weaponizing antisemitism will create a breach inside the Jewish diaspora that will cause incredible harm and damage.

The Jewish Diaspora cannot allow this to happen

Harvard’s Resistance

Finally a prominent university in America refuses to be victim of extortion and political persecution by Trump and his regime.

Reading the government stipulations was truly disturbing and disgraceful not only were they clearly beyond the scope of any legitimate oversight but clearly they had a deep disturbing racist core 

Our tax dollars don’t belong to Trump to use as a weapon to ban Academic Freedom and DEI in our educational institutions both public and private 

Hopefully this refusal by Harvard  and families of students across the nation will create a groundbreaking swell of resistance and more importantly an objection and rejection to the politics of tyranny by Trump and his regime.

I am an Anchor

America is floating in a fog of unbelief and our country has lost  its moorings , there are so many things broken in our government which spills over into our lives 

This atmosphere of uncertainty is disturbing and driven by Trump who is without question unfit to be POTUS

What is so disturbing is that people in our lives have not only surrendered to the Trump Regime 2.0 but so many are emboldened by his authoritarian policies and aura

The way forward is to find and insert oneself into people who have strong anchors to weather this chaos in America 

I am one of those anchors

MIA in the White House

        Considerations for Black America  2025

 Black Americans understand how the cultural and political temperatures change in our nation without any notice whether it is on a plantation or in  a corporate landscape  now in the most important venue in the White House , Black Americans are MIA by design and intent. 

 Trump 2.0 has no use for the deep experience , wisdom and genius of Black subject matter experts in a host of disciplines and areas today in this current reality in America our presence in the decision making contours and spaces in the White House is non/existent 

 There are no alerts, forecasts or analysts with our perspectives to be found on the grounds of the White House this  state of being invisible , uninvited and MIA is not only unbelievable but also quite  terrifying and extremely disturbing 

 We have confronted in America all manner and endless iterations of inhumanity and oppression including as well incredible moments of achievement and success for some not all,  once again our reality in our own country is in peril and not even allies that We in the past  partnered with have our backs or will come to our aid in fact many will betray us without any regrets 

  Trump’s mission includes has removal of Black generals and Women in our military,  banning of books  including tributes and photographs are being removed from our military , institutions and museums 

 We are now reduced to giving 24 speeches and tentative court proceedings where our interests intersect with others on Trump’s chopping block

Submission never Works to defeat a Tyrant

Finally push back on the efforts of Trump to ban DEI in America in a variety of areas from our educational institutions to our ministry 

The State of New York has rejected Trump’s threat to withhold federal funds !!

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/us/politics/new-york-trump-dei-order.html

Instead of talking for 24 hours ( Cory Booker ) action speaks louder than words 

An effective strategy to defeat Trump is not being passive and submissive but being aggressive and proactive

Erasure of Black History in America

Trump has instructed  public schools in America that have classes on Black History will lose all federal funding unless these classes are shuttered!!!!!!!!!!

Black Historical Icons like Thurgood Marshall, Jesse Owens, Frederick Douglas, Ida Wells, Sojourner Truth,Rosa Parks and on and on and on 

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04/03/us/trump-news-updates

Trump is a GD racist and any public school in any state in America that cancels Black History classes must face the consequences of such a racist edit by Trump

Every Black American in our military and public service anywhere in America should protest this in any meaningful measure as warranted and appropriate .
