A prominent HBCU college is engaged in banning the type of clothing its students wear
This is a classic example of the mediocre leadership in vast segments of Black America
Ridiculous bans , hypocrisy and hollow posturing without substance is frequently why so many of our youth has zero respect for the elders in Black America
I don’t understand why people are fixated on what others wear????
Is that a HBCU fixation? … I don’t think so … These are traditions that don’t have any relevance never had in fact one could argue many of these Jim Crow reactions were not for our pursuits but to seek validation and credibility from White Folks the role model for appearances over substance
The HBCU’s dress codes are BS and have absolutely nothing to do with intelligence or educational objectives
As I previously noted this ban nonsense is an example of the bandwidth of mediocrity in our leadership in Black America
Performance Activities that advances nothing of substance regarding the pursuit of a college education
Pathetic

The Passport of ’ Whiteness’ in America(c)
Many immigrants and foreigners come to America seeking a better life and I support this crusade of course many seek a better life at the expense of Americans especially Black Americans
When immigrants , foreigners and others become ‘White’ in America and they leveraged their ‘Whiteness’ frequently at Black American communities expense!
Many aggressively insert the history of racial slurs and stereotypes about Black Americans, many engage in extensive and unwarranted violence and systemic discrimination no different than the behaviors of White racists and bigots
Unfortunately this reality is also prevalent and detrimental to the political arenas where Black elected officials exist and leverage for the political and sovereignty interests of Black Lives
It is in this space where the trajectory of Black Lives is in peril in our democracy .
This is where our communities must step up and control the electoral trajectories of Black communities, there is presently an assault on our sovereignty by state legislatures that are engaged in redistricting and voters suppression is the immediate political theatre that Black voters must confront and control these elections
We have domestic ‘passports’

Consider this narrative and reality:
The present day federal governance under the Trump Regime is regressive post industrial White Supremacy
The current Trump Regime is not only inept and corrupt with regards to numerous governance protocols and policies but it also reflects yet another iteration of White Supremacy
There are no Black Americans present in the White House that speaks and acts on behalf of the Black community concerns nor interests
The are powerful agencies now operating to diminish Black Lives in America
The issue is how is this happening without a complete rejection and condemnation from not just Black Americans but all Americans including other minorities ?
Resist 2 Exist (c)
Lindsey Graham the bigoted and senior senator of South Carolina died the other day and the backward and regressive governor appointed his sister to replace him in Congress
This is a tradition in American politics that continues to exist and deprives the voters of selecting a replacement candidate when the incumbent dies
Unfortunately it is another example of the failure of governance to evolve in America and is another legitimate reason for the decay and devolution of Democracy in America

America is now a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
America locks our own citizens more than any nation on earth. More than China, Russia and North Korea. In our nation we have a massive prison population 2 million people incarcerated without trial
On the health front our life expectancy is going backwards as a developed nation, our infant mortality rate is criminal as are too many of our kids with access to GUNS
The US is the #1 arms merchant on the planet and we sell weapons to many nations that used them on their own citizens.
The wealth gap is increasing daily with more millionaires and billionaires while the poor population is accelerating and expanding rapidly.Immigrants and foreigners don’t feel comfortable in our nation today
America is lost at sea floating endlessly into uncharted territory daily
Let’s change the nation’s course of trajectory together

Allegations (c)
Will ruin good people and destroy careers end political campaigns lead to deaths and of course even suicides
Rumours and Whispers rapidly mature , ripen by human fragility resistant to facts they become Allegations
Allegations don’t fire bullets nor are they knives and daggers that wound the flesh
Allegations have urber speed and velocity with incredible adhesive properties
Targets of these non-violent missiles can’t escape their trajectories, nothing none to civilisation diminishes their destruction even Truth struggles breathing in a tangled web of Allegations
Lynchings have often been a lethal outcome of Allegations as well as divorces and tarnished careers
Allegations and then Denials but at that point of the path of Allegations the damage has been done
Once a reputation or innocence surfaces it is too late
Allegations rule in America
