America Now

America’s decline is driven not by external threats nor migrants and immigrants it is a result of Americans that are as diverse a blanket sewed in multiple colors of thread

Americans wanted a government reflective of isolation and xenophobia and the willingness to threaten allies 

Americans that dare to reject and condemn the policies of Trump’s regressive administration are targeted by Trump’s loyalists and apologists 

Our government has become our adversary under Trump administration and it continues without remorse or pause

The acts of Resistance invokes the potential of various risks …..While the acts of cowardice is nothing more than Surrender 

Yet Americans are better than those consume hate  negativity and bitterness 

Americans of value and positivity engage in activities that deplore xenophobia and isolationism it is this America that can survive the hate of some 

Americans are better because of our capacity to be Better

Firewalls and Barriers

I loathe any and all rules  and all restrictions that limits one’s contributions to society at large 

Ideas, Knowledge, Values, Principles don’t have a ceiling or  firewalls as such I reject anyone or institution which seeks to regulate and control freedom and all of its properties

Foolish Me

For so long I have thought that the majority of White Americans and even other minorities were never really embracing DEI in my entire adulthood 

With the emergence of MAGA and Trump now I was right and that saddens me

The Myth of Black Americans and Crime in America

One of the most dangerous myths today in America is the myth of Black Americans and Crime it has been a truly destructive and despicable fictional narrative for centuries in our nation. It is a myth that is underwritten by an ignorance of crime data and analysis 

Unfortunately the vast majority of Americans don’t understand analytical math and its application in articulating crime facts. This begins with the math formula of proportionality and ratios which is confused with real numbers. There is a factual difference between ratios/ percentages and real numbers .

This is not just about being positive but factual and informative and seeking to destroy the dangerous myth about crime and Black Americans 

Fact: The overwhelming majority of Black Americans are not involved in any crimes

Fact: Random incidents of violent crime including homicides are extremely rare in Black America 

Fact: The most violent and criminal collective in America are White Males

Fact: Crime across America is down significantly including homicides

Fact: The overwhelming majority of Black Americans have never been victims of a crime 

Fact: Those who commit crimes are usually the same people who commit crimes . The Black Population in America which is approximately 44 million people over 43,500,000 don’t commit crimes in America!!!

Rarely in our media is crime expressed and reported and  articulated in this factual manner
