Taking stock ….

There is unlimited value in volunteering  and up one’s assistance in a variety of situations, the rewards are enormous for everyone 

What is often overlooked in this equation and experience is the importance of making sure before one engages in volunteering pursuits is to take stock in yourself before you give of yourself to others 

Far too often we aren’t conscious of ourselves and our shortcomings and this creates situations where one is not at their best when the engage in volunteering pursuits pursuits 

Start with U and then share the best of U with others 

RIP Jesse Jackson

The deep contempt and hate for Jesse Jackson in wide segments of White America of course was nothing new for Black Americans like Jesse, MLK, Parks, Marshall and others

I experienced it frequently it fuels me like it fueled these Black Icons

The hate for Black people is pathological for millions in White America, so much even our racist constitution sanctioned Slavery and defined only Black people as fractional human beings

Centuries of Slavery and endless iterations of racism and bigotry continues to damage our nation

Black Americans have civil rights fatigue waiting on White America to evolve and mature on Race

It is imperative that We move on from the CR Era and Its Icons, The moment now in America requires and demands this from us 

We have now in our lives cultivated a valley deep with extraordinary and extremely talented Black Folks in every space and place in America where we are both in peril and cued up for transformative change and meaningful outcomes 

Let’s make it happen now

Admission Segregation Returns

 Another wave of disparate treatment and diminished impact in our educational institutions is in play now on Black and Brown students in America during the Trump Era

Admission Segregation is back in our educational institutions 

The end of race-conscious college admissions, prompted by the 2023 Supreme Court ruling, has triggered a "cascade effect" across the U.S. higher education landscape, where highly qualified students of color are increasingly enrolling in less selective institutions rather than the most elite universities. 

This phenomenon has resulted in decreased diversity at top-tier schools while simultaneously increasing enrollment of underrepresented minorities at many state flagship and public universities. 

Elite universities will now retreat to thier segregated admission histories where Black and Brown  students were discriminated and excluded from being admitted 

The usual suspects aka White and some Asian students will now be the overwhelming demographic  of students at these elite universities

This is not acceptable and there must be foundational changes now in our elite universities regarding admissions of  Black and Brown students

The continuing Racial Underdevelopment in White America

Black Americans have Civil Rights fatigue waiting on White America to evolve and mature on Race

Centuries of iterations of racial underdevelopment is not only tiresome but destructive to the progress and growth of our nation 

The continued shelf life of White privilege and entitlement and ignorance on RACE has to have an end.

The endless cycle of White America’s futility and inability to evolve on Race continues to contaminate our society 

I will never accept the excuse that White Americans simply don’t want to change nor lack the capacity to change 

I will continue to insert my efforts to assist White Americans in this evolutionary process 

Holocaust Deniers

Once again I am being assailed by some White Jewish Americans , when I dare to invoke the Holocaust alongside  Slavery in America 

Far too many in the Jewish Diaspora believe that only Jews get to articulate what is a Holocaust . I don’t engage in victim hood contests nor will I genuflect to others seeking to restrain and silence my opinions on whatever .

Many Jewish people and leaders of Jewish organizations want to make the Holocaust an untouchable atrocity without context and when Black activists like me and others reject this narrative there is a unwarranted  attacks and defensive posturing which seeks to diminished our right define and characterize evil and hate.

Of course this defensive rhetoric is designed to deflect the reality of history and present day posturing of many Jews in their contempt for both Black Jews and Black Americans and how We articulate our experiences and encounters with Evil and Hate.

I will never tolerate nor accept any restraints or restrictions on how I express my opinions and perspectives on Hate and Evil,  this includes historical events and present day events as well

Selective Criticism

Recently I was involved in a discussion of individuals that were truly vile and depraved, of course Trump and Epstein were mentioned but was also quite notable was how many in the room wanted to quickly move on from Epstein.

I encountered this recurring theme often especially when the evil is centered on individuals of selective collectives, privileged and the entitlement in our society 

When I would beat down White racist hillbillies my Jewish comrades would never shy to trash them but when I inserted Madoff and his damage to organizations, pensioners etc there was not the same visceral and intense commendation 

Unfortunately , I have notice the same narrative with Epstein, Netanyahu, Trump, Kirk and a cast of others

Disturbing as well is the social, cultural and religious bias that is always looming in the background even in discussions of condemnation and criticism of evil individuals like the those I have noted ….

The other Agenda of posting racist photos

 I do believe there has been enough posts and content of the racist depictions of the Obama’s 

There is a racist and disturbing agenda of many who continue to post these racist photos of the Obama’s
