America is no Global Role Model

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 millions 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

The continued presence and shelf life of bigotry and racism in America after centuries is a reality that has clings to our country with endless iterations and waves of revivals

This  pass year I have been consumed with engaging in numerous activities to RESIST the Trump Regime and its inhumane, vile, cruel and unacceptable and disgusting policies especially towards Black Lives 

Along the way , I have been assisted and supported by many White Lives who share my posture about Trump and his policies

I want to take the moment to not only give a ‘Shout Out’ to these White Lives specifically but also to others that are not Black like me

Curated News of Media Platforms in America

Regarding the SCOTUS ruling on Birthright Citizenship Rights 

Both MAGA and Media Platforms are engaging in misinformation by reporting the ruling as 5-4 instead of 6-3 in favor of Birthright Citizenship 

This reporting seeks to diminish the value and weight of the SCOTUS by reporting the Birthright ruling was close when it was not

Yet again major media platforms in America are engaging in agenda driven ‘curated scripted’  news reporting and commentaries 

The media is a powerful and transformative institution in America so much so it was cited in the US Constitution as being a foundational entity in our democracy 

We must condemn any media platforms/outlets accordingly that publish misleading and information and reporting regarding any and all Supreme Court Rulings

US Constitution prohibits the banning of DEI in our State and Federal Government

The US Constitution prohibits racial discrimination by both the Federal and State governments 

Racial discrimination by the federal government is prohibited by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

While the Fourteenth Amendment specifically restricts state governments from denying equal protection, the Supreme Court established in the landmark 1954 case Bolling v. Sharpe that the federal government is held to the same standard. 

The Court found that federal racial segregation and discrimination are so arbitrary that they violate the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of "due process of law.

The Fifth Amendment states:"No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

Plane Ideas condemns and challenges every executive order and any government policies under the Trump Administration that targets DEI and any other initiatives that promote Racial Equality in our federal and state governments.

When Rosa Parks passed away I sent and email to the CEO of my company requesting that all employees in the HQ be given time to attend her funeral given her iconic persona and stature

Presidential War Criminals

Every US President in the past multiple decades authorized weapons sales to ME nations which lead to the deaths of innocent civilians, children , hospitals, schools , shelters, homes and even grave sites

States and Local Governments

America is presently in its  fragile state in centuries and it has our entire nation on the edge as well as the world.

Our allies are in a state of crisis and shock because of our government policies which promote a diminishing relationship with them. Our allies have lost trust and faith in America  especially our government’s postures on immigration and shared treaties capped by deteriorating relations 

In the nation today , Presidency and the Federal Governments are in disarray daily and our Congress is shackled by fear and lack of leadership and courage to lead the nation in this perilous time 

The way forward is in our states and local governments where policies of most states don’t reflect the ideology and agenda of a regressive and inept Presidency and the cowardice of  our impotent Congress 

The way forward also includes a movement where citizen driven referendums and state driven referendums against our federal government is possible and practical in this crisis 

It is possible and maybe feasible to remove appointed officials from their designated posts( Acting AG Todd Blanche) others that are engaging in activities that violate our constitution and the sovereignty of the citizens of the USA

CP Time

Another take on ‘CP Time’

For those not familiar with ‘CP’ it is a phrase used in the Black Community to describe Black Folks aka Colored Folks’ that are tardy, late and never punctual nor on time for anything from meetings to business appointments etc etc

In some circles it is a negative slur and derogatory depending on the situation and importance of an event 

What is frequently never understood about ‘CP Time’ is its origins allow me to inform and educate 

Years ago I met a couple of Black Historians while I was working on a project to locate and identify‘Lynching Trees’ during my research and interviews about lynching trees two of the Historians made a joke about ‘CP Time ‘ and Lynching 

One way a Slave could be defiant and pushback on their Slave Master was too deliberately be late, slow, tardy , when tasks were do on the plantation or the Slave Master needed something important to be done or a task that required punctuality 

The Slave would then engage in ‘CP Time’ including making his task be extremely important and the Slave’s entry was also important and dramatic as well making a dramatic entrance or appearance that pissed of the Slave Master who now was at the mercy of the Slave

Trump’s Birthday

It is undeniable that millions of White Americans of all sizes and shapes and economic tiers are celebrating Trump’s 80th Birthday today across America 

Millions of Americans relish in Trump’s bigotry, immorality, ignorance, and his  raw entitlement , arrogant bravado and utter contempt and decency and above all his righteous allegiance for ‘Whiteness’

From White Conservatives to White Liberals and others there is the acceptance of Trump and his affirmation of MAGA with ‘Whiteness’

This inconvenient fact and truth underwrites, the millions of White Americans who worship and adore Trump’s persona and tribalism of ‘Whiteness’

Trump is celebrating  America and the glory of all of its ‘Whiteness’ in the the most scared home in America , the White House on his Birthday with adoration of an unapologetically ethos of ‘Whiteness ‘ a state of  America which ruled America for centuries

Composition of the SCOTUS Matters

The US Constitution was inherently flawed so much so that it required amendments, it was also constructed by an only a select collective of White Men.

The constitution diminished the sovereignty of Indigenous People, Women and Minorities in particular Black People when it sanctioned Slavery and only defined Black People as fractional human beings 

The US Constitution interpretation has always depended on the composition of its Justices,  the legacy of some of its most transformative decisions  involved White racists Supreme Court Justices

Today nothing has structurally changed in the constitution,  it’s interpretation is still impacted by the composition of the court‘s justices which are influenced by politics and the agenda of the POTUS unfortunately as I previously noted diminished once again specifically Women and Black Americans lives

Demographic of Crime in America

 Of the 31 categories of crime the FBI lists, whites lead 28 of them and are arrested for 70% of all crime. Per FBI stats, White males, who are just 29% of the US population, are arrested for 57% of all violent crime & lead in mass killings, rapes, assaults, serial killings, etc.  [WHITE ON WHITE MURDER] 

Per the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 2015 and 2021, the number of white on white homicide victims increased by 22%. In the last 35 years a whopping 465,000 white Americans have been killed by other white Americans. 91% of whites killed annually are killed by other whites.  

Per the FBI, white men represent just 29% of the population, but they comprise a whopping 91% of Familicides. The FBI states that an average of 1500 incidences of Familicides occur annually nationwide resulting in over 3500 victims. This represents the number one form of mass killings.   

Two-thirds of mass shootings are linked to domestic violence. Familicides are the #1 form of mass shootings in America and 91% of them are committed by white men. The FBI and BJS classify familicides, street level gang shootings, and public mass killings as mass shooting offences. 

White men represent 91% of all familicides and 60% of all Public Mass killings.

Equally important, white men are 29% of the population in the USA, but they represent a whopping 82% of all serial killers in America. 

Serial killers have been responsible for tens of thousands of murders over the last 25 years. 78% of the victims of serial killers are non-Hispanic white women. Moreover,  according to the FBI, in 2019 within Metropolitan Counties white men, who are 29% of the population, were offenders for murder at a rate of 54% per the FBI UCR Report Table 55. 

There are entire TV networks dedicated to real life White on White violence, such as the ID (Information Discovery) Crime Network, True Crime Network and the Oxygen (Crime) Network. Yet, the news media focuses on so-called Black on Black crime to depict Blacks in a negative light. Trailer park moms raise serial killers, mass shooters, child molesters, animal rapists, domestic terrorists, drug users, alcoholics, devil worshipers, wife beaters, incest committers, and mentally deranged, Inhumane, insecure, creepy, chronically depressed, suicidal psychopaths.

IMO as Black Americans far to often our analysis of racism and hate is diminished and moderated because of our humanity 

We frequently don’t push the envelope when We should against evil and hate against our personhood 

Those who rage the war of inhumanity against US , know this about our demeanor and culture and actually weaponise our humanity against us and resistance efforts

Judicial Restraints

The history of significant structural racial change in our nation is in our judicial system with its processes and rulings 

This reality exists in matters of both individual justice and collective justice , recent SCOTUS rulings about state’s  electoral voting districts reflects this reality

Hate fuels my Activism

 I continue to get a barrage of hateful comments and insults from far too many in the Jewish community because of my criticism of racism and bigotry in the Jewish Diaspora towards Black Americans including Black Jewish Americans 

This inconvenient truth and facts about Jewish racism and bigotry is a reality that exists in America given the overwhelming majority of Jewish Americans self identify as White have embraced the legacy of White racism towards Black Americans!!!

Where is the outrage and commentaries from Jewish Leaders, Rabbis and others?

Of course there is outrage whenever a prominent Black American engages in antisemitism and the like . Currently in our universities and colleges there is massive support from the Jewish community to ban DEI, Affirmative Action, Inclusionary initiatives from admissions to curriculum that focus on CRT as well

Inconvenient Truths

It is disturbing the reaction to a UM’s  Professor salient and timely comments during the  public UM Commencement 

UM is a public university where Academic Freedom is one of the foundations of its existence as one of our nation’s most esteemed public universities 

To observe special interest groups and politicians attack both the Professor and UM is outrageous and quite disturbing while also being extremely disgusting .

I applaud the integrity and courage of the Professor and UM for not surrendering to the cowardice of those seeking to silence speech and Academic Freedom @ UM

It is absolutely critical that our public universities exist as a venue for Academic Freedom and Inconvenient Truths and Facts

There should never be any tolerance nor restrictions from these ideals in our public educational systems in America

The Republican Party has been in America since 1854 and has never nominated a Black American candidate for President or Vice President in America!!!!!!

The trajectory of making a difference

While driving home last week, I observed a five young Black teens handcuffed sitting on a street corner with their car doors open and paint ball guns on the roof of the car, there were 5 police cars and numerous police officers at the scene 

It was an ugly spectacle , I get out of my car with my phone and start talking pictures a police officer confronts me and tells me stay back 

I told him , I am back far enough and next I am going to take names and badge numbers because this is over kill 

I demanded to see the officer in charge soon the captain came by and I told him this was really overkill for teens with water/paint guns !

The police captain told me he stopped the car when he saw the paint guns hanging outside the car window 

I told him that may have been appropriate but the overkill was not!!

I convinced him to release the teens and let me talk with them. I did just that with a lot of profane words!

Frequently RACE defines how the police react White teens are adolescents and Black teens are delinquents

The outcome to often for Black teens is shit like this overaction

The Hollow VRA

Regarding the SCOTUS ruling to gut the Voting Rights Act:

White people created Racial Identity and all of its derivatives including laws and practices that are centered in Race

There is no need  for Civil Rights Laws unless Racism doesn’t exist

White People created racism in America today’s ruling simply affirmed this centuries old reality 

This SCOTUS ruling is clearly the ongoing racist narrative of ‘ Whiteness’ which is now centuries old in America but a obsolete fucked up binary political partisan legacy 

The Voting Rights Act was put in place to specifically to protect marginalized people from the overt and systemic racism of the white majority, and from voter suppression and intimidation 

Whiteness made possible this fucked up VRA ruling by the SCOTUS  it affirmed the legacy that well-established political machines can legally disenfranchised minority voters.

Black Patriarchal BS

There is this racist narrative of late which seeks to cast Black Men as lethal threats to Black Women, this racism is yet another pathological aspect of those who believe Black Men are inherently dangerous and criminals 

It is critical that We reject, object and condemn this latest wave of intentional demonization of Black Men in America with facts that refute this dangerous messaging 

Facts: There are 21 million Black Women in America of which 22% are under 18 years of age according to the latest FBI Crime Index tragically 241 Black Women have died from Gun Violence this year 

Any death of a Black Women by gun violence is horrific and unacceptable but there is no epidemic of Black Women violence anywhere in America nor a crisis 

We have to confront and defeat efforts to conflate the false narrative and fake news about violence in Black America towards Black Women by Black Men 

The fact remains crime is down everywhere in America including in Black American venues  and it continues to fall

Volunteer Disarmament

 For Consideration:  Volunteer Disarmament 

The continuing carnage in America caused by the violent use of GUNS has to be confronted. We need a series of transformative national policies to immediately impact the possession of GUNS in America both legal and illegal possession and ownership of GUNS

The proliferation of guns in our society has been staggering and deadly, there is not a day in America where the specter of GUN  violence impacts a family and a community with horrific consequences 

Our nation is fixated on GUNS and it is killing and causing injuries that are beyond the pale of anything that can be tolerated in a civilized society 

Our society is a culture where GUN violence is now an accepted norm and tolerated 

In America the gun is worshipped as a sacred artifact. The fervor for guns is beyond any sense of reason and borders on insanity. Gun violence not only destroys lives but the health costs of gun violence is in the billions. The reality of suicides and gun mishaps in the homes of families is tragic and senseless.

It is critical that as a nation and culture we must take a life altering posture and position towards GUNS

Plane Ideas believes that ‘Volunteer Disarmament ‘ is the most effective strategy and posture to address GUN violence in America 

We can achieve  extremely high rates of ‘Disarmament’ with effective rates of compliance by implementing governmental policy driven structural processes that include lucrative GUN income tax and credit deductions, including healthy incentives to not own GUNS and GUN Buy Back Programs 

Plane Ideas strategies include banning GUN sales and limitations on the manufacturing of certain types of GUN manufacturing, as well as mitigation of specific designated crime sentences for GUNS surrendered to the government 

Our communities and our own lives are more secure and safe from gun violence with the absence of guns than the ownership and possession of guns in our homes and in the community. 

We are safer as a community when NO ONE OWNS A GUN! Disarmament saves lives in both normal and crisis situations in our country.

We must disarm our nation and our communities. We must be advocates for the sanctity of life in America in all communities.

Volunteer Disarmament Now!!

Wrong Religion

Years ago during my early activism, I lived in Southfield, MI a inner suburb of Detroit, at the time I was living in Southfield it was in a transitional period where it’s Jewish residents were leaving and Black Folks were moving into Southfield.

There was two major events happening the B’nai David Synagogue,was up for sale and a CityCouncil person was resigning. 

I decided to submit my request to become the new council member and I also advocated against the city purchasing the Synagogue or any religious building which tax payers had to pay for years 

The Southfield City Council was primarily Jewish with a few Black City Council members , I also advocated for an election process not a appointment process for the replacement council person 

I became quite controversial and a target for my activism….My interview was quite adversarial and of course I was not appointed.

In the marketplace of politics in America everything is in play including religion, race, class and one’s consciousness nothing has changed in decades in fact it has gotten worse

Intentional Exclusion

One of the universal laws is the properties of consensus and the absence of collective insights and wisdom creates a vacuum of emptiness and failed outcomes 

It is prevalent everywhere in the world when segments of consensus are omitted and eliminated from a collective resolution there is a diminished and frequently hollow outcome and results 

In the Trump Regime there is a deliberate and intentional policy and protocols to remove Women and Minorities from policy decisions and implementation of government services and programs including peace negotiations currently in the war with Iran

There are no Women or Minorities( especially Black Americans) on the negotiating team as a result it is virtually impossible to secure a comprehensive agreement/ resolution with all the parties in the Iran war

There can never been a consensus without the genius of everyone insights and experiences. Trump’s team is impotent without the genius of Women and Minorities 

Trump ‘s reliance on only White Men is a miserable failure and nothing of substance can be achieved with only White Men making decisions that impact all

The Situation Now in America

This last year in America has been surreal and sometimes unrecognizable on so many levels and layers 

The Trump Regime has brought the nation unimaginable levels of chaos and incompetence that has created levels of anxiety that is off the scale of anything reasonable 

Daily threats of massive layoffs and downsizing is the theme of Trump Regime, In the private sector AI is hovering with its own threats of downsizing and layoffs in areas where careers never encountered such concerns

Of course the most vulnerable sectors of this atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty is the usual collectives of the poor and needy 

There is no safe harbors or sanctuaries in the hurricane of the Trump Regime, stability, reliability and security don’t occupy any space or place in this state of America under Trump’s insanity 

The lack of faith and trust in the reliability of our basic federal government services and accountability has left the entire country in a state of instability from air travel to dysfunctional government websites 

Our  government particularly the Federal government is a mess from getting the mail delivered to concerns about reliability and performance from our  bureaucrats , all of this mayhem is a cluster fuck of late

Literally everyday is unpredictable and soaked with apprehension and uncertainty and doom 

This is not how a nation that was founded centuries ago should operating in this century

For Consideration : No Kings No Black Folks

 For Consideration:

No Kings Protestors tell you why you are really out there marching….

Because the great white hope let you down. 

Because your life is worse than you ever anticipated in your wildest dreams. 

Because you been bamboozled and you been misled— like Malcolm X said. 

Oh, and black people aren’t staying home because “marching is not safe for us.”

That is what you all are telling yourselves. 

Y’ALL VOTED FOR A BLATANT WHITE SUPREMACIST.

We don’t want to join people who betray us so readily. 

We are not fucking marching with y’all— for real? 

And black folks don’t usually do performative shit. 

That’s y’all’s MO not ours. 

We are not marching or dressing in Handmaiden’s outfits or none of that Block  Party bullshit. 

Do you know why? 

We can’t do stuff for imagery. So people can pat us on the back. Because the black community has too much real shit riding on policy change. 

Y’all don’t. 

The next white guy that gets into office will restore your faith in government and make sure White America feels comfy wumfy again. 

The rollback on civil rights and diversity efforts will not be restored immediately. All of those hard won battles Trump reversed will have to be re-fought by another generation of black people. 

While you and your household will not feel a thing. Tsk tsk about all of those disenfranchised black voters. What a shame. 

So yeah, don’t want y’all to keep lying to yourselves that you are doing anything to benefit us. 

If you were, if this is where your heart really is— 

You would have voted in our name rather than march and protest in our name. 

So lose us with the nonsense. 

Thx

No Kings for Thee

With grave reluctance, I attended a ‘No Kings Protest’  today and of course I could count on both of my hands the number of Black Folks in the audience 

I then decided since I was there to try to get on the speaker list, now for transparency and disclosure there were a few Black speakers ( 3) and all of them were ‘cum ba ya’ types

I identified myself as a BLM speaker and I would not be talking about Jesus , MLK or Slavery of course 

I was going to talk about how come the ‘No Kings’ protests were never in the ‘Hood’

I was not allowed to speak at which time , I decided to yell, scream and protest from the audience 

I enjoyed every single second and moment…. I don’t have a voice now as I post this comment 

When the protest ended masses of White folks wanted to meet and chat with me

I gave them my speaker engagement Fee:-)

I don’t expect there will ever be a ‘No Kings’ protest from a Black Venue anywhere in America 

 

The return of Negrophobia in the Trump Era of America 2026

Yet of late a new wave of contempt has reached the shores of Black America with Trump in our White House , this draft dodger, convicted felon and woman abuser has unleashed his hatred for Black Americans with attacks on DEI and prominent Black Americans in our military to public officials.

The Trump Regime seeks to remove every credentialed Black American in our government and civil society, soon he will add Black Americans on the ICE targets of Americans demanding our ‘papers’

Our Federal law enforcement agencies will once again under Trump’s  unlawful executive orders will become enforcers of racial discrimination and profiling of Black Americans in public and private venues in America.

In this retreat era of segregation  in America on the footprints of slavery, segregation, and the like for many Black folks in the nation we must  now confront the specter and culture of ‘Negrophobia’. It is a derivative pathology of racism not novel in substance just different in application and behavior.

Often ‘Negrophobia’ is a civil disdain hidden in a non verbal activity or a cloaked bigoted behavior absent the optics of raw prejudice. It has the distinct stench of racism but it lacks the venom and vulgar and virulent demeanor of hard core bigotry.

In the gentile terrains of an office environment or the mild contours of an restaurant or even in a plaid elevator gathering the presence of 'Negrophobia' is a reality that is far to often present in the space of Black folks and others( read whites and of late even other people of color). From the nostrils and optics of many Black folks often one feels that he or she is germ or some kind of disease that people seek to avoid when they are in our orbit and presence. We have become in many circles an inconvenient truth an interactive poster of crime and darkness.

Usually when ‘Negrophobia’ is in effect communication,dialogue and authentic displays of normalcy are absent. A surreal reality takes over and quite often the Black person in the equation is the odd person out. The presence of “Negrophobia" has always been a part of America's landscape it never leaves and it surfaces anywhere and anytime in all spaces annd places in our country.

White politicians of late besides the president  have become embolden with verbiage that incites racial angst. Media outlets fill the their platforms with racially charged violent crimes.The nation’s zeitgeist is packed with themes of a civil rights fatigued where the normal  'white majority'  is tired of the claims of victimhood and grievance from ‘those people’.

The personal toil and anguish of always being viewed as a threat and unworthy of respect and trust is creating havoc on the health of Black Americans. The specter of 'Negrophobia' has destroyed and shattered the internal texture of far too many  Black communities. Negrophobia augments the disconnect between Black students and their teachers, it has created record numbers of suspensions and expulsion in our public school system for Black students. The economic costs of this pathology is in the trillions of dollars from health care costs to abandoned urban cities.

The basic civility which is required for a civilized nation to operate is now in peril. The pervasiveness of Negrophobia is contaminating even other minorities now. Black Americans confront waves of Negrophobia from other minorities in America. It is disturbing but other minorities are engaged in displaying reservations and contempt towards Black Americans. This is truly a surreal state of existence in America when Black Americans now have to experience and confront Negrophobia from not only White America but from other people of color as well.

Negrophobia will destroy the very soul of our nation if we allow it to flourish and prosper unchecked. 

The Artistry of Politics

Politics are never righteous or based on principles, in fact there is no honor in ‘politics ‘because none is required to achieve an outcome or objective , they exist because of the nature of human beings and interactions between human beings

Politics have a broad definition and interpretation it has many iterations from art to negotiations of various perspectives both pro and con,there is no absolute rule that captures the root and essence of ‘politics’

The ‘politics’ of an issue or matter is not always about partisanship between various political parties or ideologies among diverse collectives, in fact when there are competing interests for opportunities and agendas in both the public and private sector there are the ‘politics’ of competing individuals and organizations and others as well

We @ Plane Ideas enjoy all that encompasses ‘politics’ from the research to the promotion and messaging of the ‘politics’ of an issue.

Return to Segregated America

 In the Trump Regime there is a deliberate agenda to revert to a segregated America in both the public and private sectors of America 

Trump’s executive orders/edicts are NOT laws but operate as instructions for our government bureaucracy 

These executive orders are subject to litigation and not the law of the land and therefore should be ignored by those in private industry 

Our Constitution does not allow for racism and unlawful government edicts and executive orders who promote racial segregation and discrimination against minorities in America

I welcome and look forward to our courts rejecting any and all attempts by Trump to make our government return to segregational policies and practices 

War at Home

America is in a War that has absolutely nothing to do with with our way of living. We are in a war not where

are interests are in peril or threaten .

The war in Iran has created by the will of an unstable individual the POTUS.

The POTUS is a clear and present danger to America and the world 

Black Americans/ Jewish-Americans

 The attack and the dismantling of DEI programs and related services and initiatives @ UM with major support by Jewish Organizations  and prominent Jewish-American leaders and individuals has created a truly disturbing  situation for Black Americans and Jewish Americans that may not ever be healed soon enough!

Black Americans have been allies of Jewish Americans for centuries in America, the nation’s most historical civil rights organization NAACP invited Jewish Americans to partner with its  founding .

Jewish-Americans have experienced a better life in America because of Black Americans and our advocacy for civil rights for all Americans especially minorities and women 

Black Americans specifically have suffered and experienced incredible acts of discrimination and oppression by being advocates for civil rights for All Americans 

Black Americans historical relationships with Jewish-Americans does not deserve the contempt and disregard for DEI by prominent Jewish groups @ UM nor in litigated matters in our courts.

The Jewish Diaspora is quite diverse with many Black Jews existing and living in America for centuries now

To observe Jewish-Americans supporting Trump’s Anti-DEI policies and Anti-Academic Freedom on our college and university venues is extremely troubling and outrageous 

I welcome a major change in the attitudes and behaviors that exist in Jewish-American venues towards Black Americans the levels and presence of racism and bigotry towards Black Americans is at a level that is unacceptable and will not be ignored, tolerated by Black Americans like myself and millions of Black Americans in America

Pawns for Exploiting

Black  Americans have always been useful pawns frequently inserted into a variety of situations for a variety of agendas 

White America has been one of our major handlers from using our labor for free as Slaves to scapegoats and collateral targets when  corporate interests can’t compete in the market place only then are Black Americans in the commercials and token folks in the board room 

Black Americans are extremely functional when politicians want to insert ‘Crime’ messaging in their campaigns 

Let’s not forget educational matters it is always appropriate to demonize urban schools at the expense of vulnerable families with government funded subsidies for religious schools 

I do expect a return of the draft and the endless military commercials imbedded in sports shows and televised college tournaments now  that Trump is starting Wars in foreign countries 

With the obsession over White Christian Nationalism and the Jewish fixation over Antisemitism as the cause of everything of late across the country, I do expect a blond and blue eyed Jesus will be a part of a national campaign to Make America Great Again

Not the Cause of Everything

Everything in the World is not about Antisemitism 

Everything in the World is not about Antisemitism

Politics of Life

 In an Era of the world that is soaked and suffocated with politics it is incumbent that as individuals we don’t allow the politics of the world to define and contaminate our lives and daily existence 

 It is not an easy endeavor to remove oneself from the politics of the world which is inundated with evil, violence and negativity. The disdain and discord that occupies the atmosphere of humanity can be impactful and personal 

 Rather than lament and be overwhelmed by these forces that impact our lives, We can continue to bring light and beauty into our world when we are determined and committed to the wonders of life.

 The wonders of life can be as simple as a stroll in the park to sharing a heartily conversation with friends, family and new acquaintances. The menu of opportunities to experience bliss includes visional experiences of art and music.

 There is abstract moments in our lives that elevate and enhance all of life and its bountiful beauty. We can diminish, defeat and silence the throws of evil, hate and negativity not by ignoring it but also by confronting and removing these forces from our lives 

The moments of living are the best of living…..

The diminishing power of USA

The Global Power Hierarchy is changing as the world in Iran continues many countries which were allies of the US are not joining the US in the war against IRAN!!

This is a profound departure and development that is is altering the power and clout of America in global politics 

The immediate impact is Trump’s movement here in our hemisphere especially in our region of influence 

I will continue as promised provide the best analysis that is lacking from Black politicians and leaders on the state of World 

Stay tuned…..

Absence of Black Voices

 What is extremely disturbing and troubling is not one prominent Black Politician dares to offer up any ideas or solutions to the Wars across the globe 

We are so MIA on the World Stage and I blame that on our Black Politicians! 

Our voices are muted by our cowardice and inability to value our intellectual and global heritage in having a role and place in World politics 

Yet again so many Black Americans devalue and diminish their own worth and value 

Of course I don’t have that cultural DNA and I will continue to off both fact source analysis and my own genius with regards America and the

Diminished Media Coverage

The constant flow of hate continues to flood the world and it requires us to not to retreat or surrender to it

Trump’s war in Iran has unleashed more hate and violence all across the planet here in America as well 

Black Americans continue to be the most targeted group of hate crimes in America , media platforms frequently ignore this fact 

Race of course has always continues to  trump religion, class, culture negative reporting about Hate in America 

Both Jewish and Arab Americans overwhelmingly self identify as White in America and this fact and reality is obvious in the media coverage of Hate Crimes in America. 

Unfortunately our media platforms continue to operate under a racial hierarchy in reporting on a variety of issues that intersects with Race and frequently minorities in America especially Black Americans are diminished by this curated media coverage 

There is also the reaction of our law enforcement agencies that also operates under the racial hierarchy in covering crime and violence from missing minorities to excessive levels of law enforcement attention involving White Americans over Non-White Americans

I along with others will continue to advocate for balanced media coverage  especially during yet another moment of violence and hate in the world and America 

Crime Costs in America

The most significant cost of Crime in our nation is the loss of life as well as serious bodily injuries and of course property damages ’ 

For consideration the following research and information on Crime in America 

-Crime and impacts a wide spectrum of society in a variety of ways and outcomes

-The overwhelming majority of people in our jails and prisons are Americans not immigrants nor foreigners 

-The most dangerous people in America are Americans not Migrants, Immigrants or foreigners 

-The majority of crimes in America are caused by Americans specifically White Americans not Non-Whites

-White Americans also commit more crimes than any other racial of ethnic group in America

-White Males lead the FBI Crime Index in a number of categories including serial killers, domestic terrorists, drug dealers , espionage, insurrectionists and other categories

-The  annual economic costs of crimes is in the billions of dollars including business losses , crime prevention costs  , insurance premiums and related expenses for equipment and surveillance services 

-One of the rarely discussed collateral crime expenditures are for health care , ambulance and hospital expenses including equipment and medical supplies and Rx costs 

-There are also major expenses for purchasing of guns and gun accessories as well as permits, and related devices

-Crime in America for many private businesses and individuals is very lucrative 

-One trend that is very good for the country is that Crime is done across the country especially homicide

Scripted Curated News

I don’t believe any accounts of this War in Iraq from the Trump Regime certainly not any reports from the Department of War

The Trump Regime and far too many media outlets and  platforms are nothing but conduits and carriers of misinformation, disinformation and scripted curated propaganda 

The first casualty of War is the Truth

Our war mongering Presidents

Fact: There was no demonstrable threat by IRAN against the USA of America which allowed per our Constitution the insertion of military action 

Many Presidents including Bush’s , Obama, Biden, Trump have unfortunately engaged in false narratives to justify their flawed use of our military in foreign wars

The impotency of our Congress has contributed to our war mongering presidency’s

Our Congress is not trustworthy in fact they attack the government’s of Venezuela and Iran with the same venom as Trump

War Mongering Lunatic is Trump

 Trump is a clear and present danger to our country and it is imperative that the 25th Amendment be implemented ASAP

The families of our troops now have to experience the trauma of their sons and daughters involved in another foreign war triggered solely by Trump a draft dodger 

The country simply cannot weather the leadership of Trump and his insanity 

US Constitution: Racist Manifesto

Observing the frustration and endless  behavior of so many in White America that resent Non-Whites engaged in the pursuits of life , liberty and justice for all is tiresome 

America is not just about the selfish egomaniac manifest destiny of White Americans, their twisted narrative  of privilege and entitlement beliefs and the lie that being an American is solely their providence is not true in fact it was never true

 

Patriotism is not White Nationalism and nothing in the dogma and political ideology of any White politicians, MAGAS and the partisan politics of the Republican Party will make this a fact 

The US Constitution was constructed in racism and disregard for Non-Whites especially for Indigenous and Black people.The constitution sanctioned Slavery, defined Black people as fractional human beings ignored Women and only referred to Indigenous peoples as Indians

The US Constitution is a flawed and mediocre manifesto ,  its  construction and trajectory even now imperils the liberties of many citizens just as it did for Indigenous people,Black people , Women and others 

Trump does not define America nor the citizenship of Americans , no president in the history of America has that power or authority

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 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 ….

Baldwin & Me

 James Baldwin and Me(c) 

Baldwin for me is my icon muse, the thoughts that flow from his writings are breathtaking  as well as brilliant in the context of being Black in America.

I often feel I am in surreal racial bubble , when in fact none of life  in racial bubbles for Black folks is new at all .

Life in the 50’s  was not all that different in many respects  for Black Folks than this current Era in some respects on a variety of issues and concerns 

The current  interactions with America and ‘Whiteness’ in 2026 is not that transformative on certain issues in our society which is disturbing and Yet not defining nor defeating 

I am more in Baldwin’s camp certainly with regards to valuing the full nature of my character rather than just the experiences one has with a society that is inherently adverse to my existence 

Black Americans are far more expansive and evolved than just the personas  and trauma  of having survived slavery , jim crow , and contemporary race issues 

Grievance is certainly a critical and functioning aspect of being human.Yet for me now is resistance in many  endless iterations is what I have always strived for as an Activist, but I also understand its limitations  it can handcuff and handicap your personal development 

In my earlier years I defined myself as a Black Activist which spoke to the moment as I got older and evolved , I defined myself as an Activist

Racist Law Enforcement Responses

 My activism over the past decades allowed me to interact with Federal, State and Local Enforcement Agencies which frequently involved Black Law Enforcement Officers 

Some were asswipes and frequently went out of their way to antagonize me I viewed many as modern day Slave Catchers and I reacted accordingly 

In America there is a deliberate strategic hierarchical level of police response to threats to communities and schools , churches , temples and mosques 

Of course Race is a factor as well as religion in the deployment of law enforcement responses to threats to specific  communities in our country 

Despite Black Americans being the # 1 targeted group of Hate Crimes in America , We rank behind White Jewish Americans in the hierarchy of Law Enforcement Deployment responses to targeted threats 

The history of law enforcement racism towards Black Americans is deplorable as is the racist hierarchy of responses to threats against Black American communities

The Deportation Agenda by ICE against Hispanics reflects this same racist response there is no ICE deployment on undocumented people in America from Europe and Canada as examples

Psst … Racial Profiling Deportations

 Psst….There are plenty of White undocumented Europeans, Canadians, Middle Eastern, and others in America 

Yet Trump, MAGA and the goons from ICE only target Hispanics/Latinos/Haitians & others that are Non-White

How come these White people are not targeted , dragged out of cars , kidnapped , afraid to go to work etc etc 

Targeting only Non-White people for selective deportations is Un American

Civil Disobedience???

 In certain situations where an ‘ act of injustice ‘ by government agents leads to the potential loss of innocent life and injury ‘civil disobedience’ is appropriate 

It is critical to understand context and in this situation sometimes allowing an ‘unlawful ‘ process where the loss of innocent lives is not at stake it is more effective to not engaged than inserting an act of ‘civil disobedience’

The courts frequently will dismiss matters where ‘due process’ and violation of the ‘rule of law’ will create dismissal of a case against a protester 

Protesters must be ‘armed’ with knowledge of the law in the context of the actions being committed and then act accordingly
