Out There for Here(c)

So I will now explore the outer fringes of conversation and dialogue not just to appease my inner hunger and thirst but to evolve and grow the capacity to appreciate and learn from difficult themes and paths to knowledge 

I will cultivate inconvenient narratives and thoughts that I abandoned before. I will weight into my vision and consider themes not seen before by me. I will value and give value to these possibilities. 

I will weather the wrath of the gentile and the elite who view my new path as betrayal rather than discovery . The rules of civil engagement will not frame my exploration, nor detour it. My course of navigation is beyond the footprints of beaten down trails.

I venture not to exploit and create unease and tension. My intrusions into silence and orthodox are forward moves designed to never obstruct but to open up possibilities and create something a new.

The awkward moments which fuel my explorations they are markers of and directions sought to uncover not to dismiss and avoid.

I am ‘Out There for Here(c) 

Fractured Allies

Regarding minorities that voted for Trump there must be a  mature and reasoned analysis not one that is emotional and vindictive posturing 

Minorities in America with regards to politics are not monolithic nor were minorities the basis for Trump’s victory 

We have to continue to acknowledge that Facts matter especially in a nation that is extremely polarised and will even be more so during the Trump Era II in our nation 

The strategy with regards to partisan politics is recruit non voters and influence more White voters to not support Trump

Starting now!!!

Trump Era Part 2

Going forward our posture should be how to respond/react/ survive/ prosper in an America where Trump is the POTUS

I opine there are two governance narratives that impact us :

1. Federal Government 

2. State Government 

I opine that our respective state government/legislatures put our interests in peril more than the Feds.

I live in a Blue state ( MD) where we have a Black governor, Black senator and a majority Dems legislature 

More to come regarding recommendations and ideas that will help us get through a Trump Presidency including some personal recommendations to survive this next Trump Era in America

Thoughts on Election of Trump

So many people aka majority White people want to deflect the outcome of Trumps’s victory by blaming minorities when in fact the sole reason Trump won the election was because of White Americans those that voted for Trump and those that didn’t vote at all.

America is a majority White nation and this FACT continues to be the basis for public policy as well as foreign policy. There was over 140 million votes casted and Black votes were less than 20 million votes casted in this election.

The GOP has never nominated a Minority or a Woman to be President of the United States in our history, given this return of Trump to the White House nothing has changed with the politics of the GOP in America.

America is a majority White nation and this FACT continues to be the basis for public policy as well as foreign policy . White Americans  wanted Trump to be POTUS and that is exactly what they got

All day I have tried to remove reality from the world but I can’t. I know reality bites and that is real but so is the reality that something is amiss in my country where a White Man of Trump’s character is the POTUS.

I can’t ignore his wealth, privilege and endless opportunities as a White man to not overcome his mistakes but to never be accountable nor punished for his mistakes.Failure for White men like Trump never alters the trajectory of their life . They are immune from their failures solely because of not what they do wrong but because of who they are 

This is not an America that wants people that looks like me or my sisters, friends and associates.This America which elected Trump as our President reminded me of this reality once again 

Black Americans have survived living in America for centuries under violence and hate that is beyond humanity and even the darkest evil . We are built for it and We will survive and even prosper because that is who we have been for centuries in America.

America wanted Trump to be the  POTUS

It took a village of White Americans from the working class to the women of the working class to professionals and billionaires to those who refused to vote 

We have to take this blow and not be defeated by this 

I am wounded but not broken.. I am not in retreat nor surrender mode 

I will weather this and that and that and this 

There is no end here at all… The resistance continues …

No Respect

 Whenever I encounter a Trump supporter in my orbit, I acknowledge them but I don’t respect them 

  How could I ever do that ? I will never disrespect myself and giving respect to Trump and his supporters is disrespecting me
