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 

MAGA DEMS

 Repost for my MAGA DEMS!!

This Era  of ‘Whiteness’ has altered and contaminate every aspect of America including the politics of the DEMS and our historical allies 

There is without doubt a MAGA presence and influence in the DEMS , in fact far to many White Dems support Anti-DEI, Anti-Choice and of course Deportations

Recent analysis of the Trump victory validates what I opined last year that Whites in America wanted Trump as POTUS!!!

MAGA influence is evident in White Liberals, White Democratic Elected Progressives and even some of White friends and associates , unfortunately the MAGA leaks out 

The recent announcement by Congresswomen  Crockett  to withdraw from a top congressional committee was disturbing every conscious Black American understands this reality and as usual it is incumbent on us again to navigate around this Era of ‘Whiteness’ 

It is nothing new just tiresome and disturbing and disappointing that so many in White America have not evolved on Race

Deplorable POTUS

We are imperil our state of existence is dependent on deplorable human being that is admired and worshipped by the majority of Americans

Trump’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Admission

So far under Trump our federal government has become the adversary of Americans. This is unprecedented and unacceptable in any presidential administration

The Trump administration has ordered the shutter of The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program.

The Federal Government should never insert partisan politics into its duties and constitutional mandates to promote the Welfare of the American people.

The Trump Administration has expanded its list of Americans it has contempt to now include LGBTQ and Black Americans communities 

This is outrageous and shameful and Trump must fact the consequences of weaponizing the Federal Government against citizens of America

 It is now a reality the  events in LA will spread across the country because of Trump 

There will be no safe harbor for those Americans that resist the Trump Regime 

For Black and Brown People in America the rule of law and the constitution is not our ally in fact the government under Trump is our adversary 

It is critical now to prepare for an uncivil America that never has valued us and instead has always diminished us

Black Folks are MIA

Real Talk 

Black Americans are MIA at protests across the nation against Trump’s racist targeting of Hispanics in his deportation war .. Politics and fears have all Americans in a state of anxiety and fragility in fact the world seems like it is on fire 

The reasons for the fears and tensions in America are driven by Trump and MAGA primarily with this reality there is also the emotional and the history between Black folks and Hispanics that have existed sometimes  latent sometimes not Yet they have exploded many times  which happens a lot in our penal and correctional facilities where Black and Hispanic folks are the primary residents 

So now What?

Of course during the Civil Rights Era up to BLM protests the overwhelming of Hispanics were also MIA fact is we have shared historical experiences good, bad and ugly

This particular American episode  has the overwhelming Black Folks with a belief that this chapter of  domestic uncivil war is largely between White Folks and Hispanics as well as issues around employment opportunities, unions , scabs, colorism, language which have Black folks on the sidelines 

So now What?

Black Folks in truth have centuries old civil rights fatigue as a distinct minority in America our fate and experiences have been endless tales of oppression and deprivation inside and outside of Black America driven by White Folks and their fixation on White Supremacy and all of its iterations and derivatives 

White Racism and Bigotry now  has been emboldened by Trump and MAGA and for many Black Folks we gotta stay focused to that war while suffering from our own shortcomings and missteps and cultural pathologies that are ours and ours alone

Perhaps it is long overdue for Hispanics , Asians, Transgenders, Seniors, Gen  XYZ to get in the ring 

So now What?

Trump’s Uncivil War Against Us

Trump has triggered an uncivil war in America where our federal agencies in government are the adversaries of American citizens 

Trump has ignited tensions between Federal and State authorities including both law enforcement agencies of the federal and state government 

The US Constitution affords more powers to the states in the domestic welfare of the people not the opposite 

States Rights will be more critical to Americans that Federal Rights that is obvious to all

The way forward is to end the uncivil war declared by Trump against citizens of America by the impeachment of Trump now not later before the war is in the streets of America

We missed U

 We missed U 

On my knees this morning giving all that I have …..

U have returned !  So much is lonely and lost without your presence 

I welcome your return , so sorely missed R U… I was in a state of fear and anxiety the very idea that U had left and nothing was going to replace U kept me on edge and unable to sleep 

The tornadoes of negativity and despair has suffocated so many and made the atmosphere so toxic 

Many have lost faith a real twisted and disturbing state of existence has clouded so much for so many 

Anger and frustration now exists for many instead of warmth and compassion for others 

Into the places and spaces of many there hovers a spirit of emptiness and abandonment 

When folks talk now their voices don’t shine their faces exhibit doom and gloom 

When people exhale there is nothing but a lingering sense of not relief but the anticipation of more sadness and madness 

The misery in our world is taking its toll until U emerged now I feel the strength and passion for love again and maybe all can be restored and our lives can wholesome once again 

Thank U , Thank U , Thank U

Harvard’s Greed

 Reposting for my rich Harvard Friend 

‘Thinking out loud …..

Harvard is greedy as hell, they have billions in endowments Yet our government has provided  them with billions in contracts over many years!!!!!

Trump is a tyrant for sure but at some point Harvard needs to stop taking taxpayers money!!!!

Other universities and colleges can be funded with these tax dollars instead of Harvard

It is not logical to have one university be the major almost sole recipient of tax dollars 

It is logical and strategic to fund multiple universities and colleges to maximize the transformative and threshold altering research outcomes 

Harvard’s legacy and its inherent greed should not have any bearing on the distribution of research funding going forward 

Harvard has billions already to fund itself 

Israel’s Hate for Palestinians

Israel treats Palestinians like shit just as White Americans treated Black Americans like shit for centuries , understanding this fact and history allows a Black American like myself to be extremely critical of Israel’s war against Palestinians not Hamas in GAZA

Israeli's like White Americans for centuries believes the worst about Palestinians in fact in the barrel of Israel’s IDF all Palestinians young and old are Hamas 

This reality of course has allowed for the current state of genocide in GAZA by Israel 

More to come….

A Legion of Followers

This day in Trump influenced America, is a state of emergency for far too many Americans have surrendered to the regressive ideology that incentivizes loyalty and compliance to Trump which inspires people to seek approval when Trump engages in vengeance, revenge and acts of twisted 

Into the void of this madness are supporters of Trump, who encourage his tyranny with adoration and allegiance without regards for principle, ethics, morality or decency in fact being audacious for the sake of proving one’s loyalty to the Regime is admission into the Regime 

The rules of today are driven by politics and then politics there is no need for reason or logic in this Trump Regime 2.0

The only way forward now is to actively engage, encourage and support the opposition to the Trump Regime 2.0 appeasement, compromise, retreat nor surrender will bring this tyrant to an end

No Excuses for Inhumanity

The war between Jews and Arabs is centuries old and it continues today the recent killings of two Israeli Embassy workers is horrifying and tragic of course 

Because of the endless war between Jews and Arabs that has contaminated any reasoned discourse  it requires one that has an opinion about the killings of Jews and Arabs to frequently issue disclaimers especially in America when one dares to insert the killings of innocent Palestinians and Jews  by both Hamas and Israel’s forces one has to be prepared to be attacked and criticized by both Jews and Arabs in America 

There is no safe harbor that exists in this endless war between Jews and Arabs anywhere on Earth even in the universe of opinions

Yet it is incumbent on people who value humanity and peace to not be silenced by the supporters, apologists and followers of both Jews and Arabs 

The world cannot be mute when innocents human beings are killed simply because they are Jews or Arabs 

There is never any excuse  for any killings of innocent human beings on Earth

The Emergence of State Rights

The deconstruction of our federal government is a massive proposition and the country is experiencing this with the Trump Regime 2.0

This paradigm is  not only ideological and political of course but it’s objective is create a government that is driven by political agendas and not grounded with principles and values 

Historically in our nation the role of the state and its governance was punitive for Black Americans and other minorities .

One approach the nation needs to explore is to expand the role of our state governments which will of course require more taxes from citizens since the federal government is being downgraded and diminished by the Trump Regime so should our federal taxes accordingly.

Senior Fragility

I can’t believe how quickly those I viewed as supporting DEI collapsed and capitulated to Trump’s Anti-DEI and Deportations with such tepid resistance 

From the DEMS to traditional Civil Rights Orgs to the and Religious leaders  including media platforms , academic institutions and prominent individuals.

In fact of late when I encounter White Progressives across the spectrum I have trust fragility and it is disturbing in 2025 and my age 

I thought these White Americans were sincere about Civil Rights 

WTF!!!!!

The 14th Amendment under Attack

 Regarding the issue of Freedom and Sovereignty in America for Non-Whites in my particular situation as a Black American in the Trump Regime 2.0

I know that centuries have passed and the issue of Race and Equality has what my elders would say ‘We have come a long way’  that America is in the rear view mirror … To which I opine ‘I think not’

Today in 2025 the SCOTUS is considering a challenge to the 14th Amendment ( One of the most powerful amendments in our Constitution particularly for Americans and others that are not White, it addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law at all levels of government) 

In contrasting Obama and Trump’s presidency , Fuck that broken narrative, I opine that Obama was still living in the twilight aura of racial inequality and double standards .

Trump /MAGA included essentially does and says whatever the Fuck he wants whenever/wherever a licensed that Obama never really exercised nor to be honest most of Black America

I now am of the mind set in 2025 that Obama should have never put on that racial rope around his neck and today in 2025 no Black Americans should as well 

I refused to be delegated to a place that is not of my choice and prerogative nor will I ever subscribe to the restraints of ‘White Arithmetic ‘aka work 3 times harder or stay in my place and stop being so assertive and aggressive aka things are getting better tiresome racial equation employed to calibrate our progress and growth in America 

Nope not ever going to do that especially now in the face of the Trump MAGA Era in America 

Now is the time to push all the limits and firewalls in America from acts of ‘Good Trouble ‘to states of personal consciousness and a personal sovereignty that is full blown not calibrated to appease and pander 

The state of America in 2025 is not about accommodation nor code switching but full blown resistance to create a existence that has no limits or restrictions

Inconvenient Facts and Truths

 With regards to Race in our country there are inconvenient facts and truths in our nation’s history especially in our government as well as our society 

White Americans created racial identity and all of its racist derivatives from segregation to racial preferences, our US Constitution sanctioned Slavery and defined Black Americans as fractional human beings 

Indigenous People , Woman, Hispanics and others were erased from the constitution in fact the cowardly bigoted White men who drafted the racist constitution frequently inserted euphemisms to avoid mentioning Black Slaves and Slavery

Presently in our nation there is a raw display of this racist legacy once again in our government with Trump’s racist edicts recently Trump fired another Black Women as the country’s librarian 

Our military academies are purging and erasing Black American authors, icons and historical figures solely because of Trump’s racist Executive Orders 

The rush to adhere and be in compliance of Trump’s racist edicts by government officials is as disturbing as the racist edicts of Trump

Soon there will be a complete elimination of all Black Americans in the public records and public domain, including icons like MLK , Rosa Parks , Thurgood Marshall and others but only if We don’t object !!!

 Political Gymnastics 

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 

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

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.

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

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

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.

 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

Alone again in America

It is an undeniable fact that today in our nation once again Black Americans are in peril and targeted by our government .

Our constitution sanctioned slavery and defined Black Americans as fractional human beings all of which were enforced by our government and society as well.

Yet despite this truly horrific state of reality for Black Americans , We will defend ourselves by any means necessary.

Black Americans have been patriots and allies to many Americans including those who are wavering now as We confront government edicts that seek to demonize and diminish us.

We created the Civil Rights Movement in America which benefited women and minorities as well as White men so many of our allies have forgotten this fact 

We made many ethnicities wealthy and prosperous often at our expense and economic development and growth in our communities 

We have embraced religious beliefs that were not ours and We have been ugly victims of not only a domestic Holocaust but government violence 

Black Americans in our own country have confronted every twisted iteration of indecency and inhumanity 

So here We are again in peril in our own country by our government and others including allies that have betrayed us and those that remain on the sidelines observing our ordeals and not doing anything to protect us or assist us 

We will once again have to Come for Us no one else will 

Privileged People

Observing Columbia and other universities surrendering to intimidation and extortion at the expense of DEI and Academic Freedom is outrageous.

Women students on college campuses are more at risk than any religious collective at Columbia and other schools

The overwhelming majority of Jews in America self identify as White , in the Jewish diaspora many Jews are Black and of color

There has never been an epidemic of antisemitism in America anywhere near the racial racism Black Americans have encountered or centuries in America 

The major Jewish  organizations  in America  are only interested in White Jews of course these organizations don’t give a fuck about Non-White Jews nor DEI

Where is the outrage and concerns for the racism and intolerance for Black , Arab and Women on our university and college campuses in America 

Once again the realities of Race, Gender and Religion ‘trumps’ America 

Off the Grid .. I promise 2 return

 I am going off the grid to relax and refuel to construct my interactive ideas to confront the truly grave threat to my sovereignty and my family and my community in the Trump 2.0 Regime.

Trump now governs with open contempt for the rule of law as well as contempt for our constitution here in America.

Trump is now a lethal global threat to the markets with his incomprehensible tariffs war strategy.

The institutions in America that provide for a culture of critique are now under threat of suppression.

Today in 2025  pudits  feel the chill of censorship and even arrest for challenging Trump’s authoritarian  regime  and edicts. 

Ivy League colleges are in genuflecting posture while being subjected to Trump’s extortion as they seek to maintain and retain government funding and grants  while also in fear of efforts to expand the banning of Academic Freedom on their campuses .

I have to elevate my game … I will return  with an array of transformative thoughts and ideas that will put out these fires 

I promise 🙂

It has to be declared everywhere in America that Antisemitism is not the cause of everything in America Public officials that seek to silence freedoms in our country deserve to be condemned, ignored and rejected I hope this public reaction is a loud siren and rejection of those in hold public office who seek to silence , suppress and ban constitutional protected freedoms in America Greg Thrasher Director Plane Ideas Alternative Think Tank USA

Black Americans Contributions 2 USA

Black Americans have enriched diverse ethnicities in America  for centuries from Asians to Arabs and Jews and others 

Our role in creating civil and human rights is unmatched , including the creation of lucrative economic relationships with other Americans is unmatched as well 

Unfortunately the reciprocity has not been an equivalent one and this is a no greater moment in our collective history in America to make this happen 

The Trump Regime 2.0 seeks to create a divide between racial , religious and political interests without regards to our  collective histories and shared interests

Fake Allies

Observing privileged White and Jewish donors supporting Trump’s agenda to suppress Academic Freedom on our college campuses is no surprise 

Black American activists in particular have always known about the partnership between privileged Whites and Jewish groups that have never shared the agenda of Black Americans and other minorities in our pursuit of DEI and related causes including the capacity to be critical of Israel in its war against Palestinians who have similar historical experiences as Black Americans 

There have always been White Liberals including White Jewish Americans that have never been sincere advocates for Black and Brown people in America 

The Trump 2.0 Regime has simply lifted the cloak and now Black Americans and other minorities can observe who really are our allies 

Black Americans Reactions

So now that White racism has surged again in America via Trump and his EO’s towards Black Americans 

What happens when Black Americans react to this pathological behavior in White America???

What approach is warranted and appropriate???

The End of Dissent

The Trump Regime 2.0 is now engaged in educational extortion in our nation’s universities and colleges 

It is leveraging funding to universities and colleges that adhere to policies that ban academic freedom and support the political agenda of the Trump Regime 2.0

Any criticism that challenges the policies and practices of the Trump administration will be sanctioned especially in academia and areas where our federal government provides grants and funding 

Soon every media platform and academic curriculum in our educational institutions will become beholden to the Trump Regime 2.0

We must continue to reject and resist the Trump Regime 2.0

We the People

It is extremely difficult for me to comprehend why the Trump regime can’t understand that our government works for the people of America 

Our government is not our adversary and it is duty bound by our constitution to provide goods and services to promote the general welfare of the people of AMERICA 

The assault by the Trump regime on the capacity and ability to conduct its constitutional duties is not only a breach of our constitutional but a pursue that will lead to a catastrophic collapse of our government and society 

We cannot allow this course of actions to continue 

God Bless America

Here and There

       ‘Spaces full of cheer won’t allow despair to feel the air

       Places occupied with glee won’t allow misery to be free

        Moments of endless bliss  work to ease the anxiety of uncertainty 

         Here and There will forever always remain to fill the void

The election of Trump as POTUS has resulted in consequences that are beyond the pale of good governance for America .

Workshop #2 will focus on tangible and practical ideas,  resources and strategies to resist and navigate the Trump Regime 2.0

Uncivil war against Federal Workers

Presently in America the executive branch of  our government is waging a war against the federal bureaucracy and in particular its federal workers.

The uncivil war is decimating families and careers of federal workers that have given our country their best to observe this uncivil war create chaos within the federal bureaucracy is unprecedented and unacceptable 

There are many participants who are waging this war including politicians , judges, media and of course citizens of America 

To end this uncivil war against our federal bureaucracy and its workers requires a comprehensive strategy that begins Now

More to come….

The Defeat of ‘Whiteness’

The ascension of ‘Whiteness’ in our nation required the insertion of our government with its attack on DEI in our government 

The private sector’s partnership in the implemention of ‘Whiteness’ is now confronting the ramifications of this racist collaboration with the government role in dismantling DEI 

The blueprint of this latest iteration of ‘Whiteness’ has to be confronted in a variety of forms including declarations of condemnation , resistance and affirmation actions of displacement and today’s DEI Boycott.

The arsenal and depth of the defeat of ‘Whiteness’ will be comprehensive and impactful and transformative for the government and companies which pursue this UnAmerican agenda
