Uncivil War in America

 Our nation is preparing for a War but not with a foreign nation or enemy. This is a GD  shame on many levels .

The reason of course is solely on Americans, those Americans that are Domestic Terrorists and Traitors . 

It is also the failure of our politicians and elected officials in every space and place in America who have failed the citizens of America and created far too often a platform for this contempt of so many Americans for America .

Finally every American today can challenge themselves with this mission 

 “It is not what your country can do for You but what You can do for your country “

God Bless America

Media Supremacy

 Major Media Platforms Monopoly of Discourse. 

It is critical and incumbent among Americans especially minorities to explore an array of media outlets and their presentations and coverage of the insurrection and related topics

Far too often the major media platforms are lacking diversity in pundits, journalists , editors and reporters as they roll out post analysis coverage on the spectrum of the insurrection so much is generic and redundant 

From PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, FOX as well as major print publications like NYT, WAPO, LA Times, WSJ and other major regional media outlets this script in being played out daily 

There is a disproportionate volume of White Talking Heads and Guests offering nothing more than uniform inferences, opinions  , speculation and scripted narratives with political agendas 

When the reality of Race intersects with these media platforms there is also a vacuum of diverse perspectives and insights as well as people of color on these platforms 

It is rare indeed to observe Black, Hispanic, Asians and Native Americans on these platforms including of course also the presence of gender gaps 

At the end of the day our voices , stories , opinions and insights must not be allowed to be compromised and Whitewashed and marginalized by these media platforms 

We must find venues, platforms and other spaces to express our voices especially now after this insurrection and the reality of a new POTUS in 2021

Leadership is MIA in America

This era of leadership in America in our executive branch is without question the worst of recent decades. From the truly dismal contempt of democracy by Trump to the collective cowardice of Obama, Bush and Carter former presidents that have not condemned Trump or our Congress for their failures during this pandemic . 

 Trump has allowed Americans to die from the COVID-19 Virus with his almost criminal malfeasance in handling the pandemic .

 Obama, Bush, Clinton and Carter have said nothing to condemn nor reject the leadership and governance of America by Trump during both this pandemic and failure of Congress to pass a stimulus package to provide extended unemployment benefits to loans for small business to survive . 

 GD Trump, Obama, Bush and Carter all have let America down during our most critical time since WWII.

Vaccines and Black Folks

It is incumbent on Black Americans to condemn, reject and dismiss the disinformation and propaganda about vaccines in Black America It is disturbing observing major White Media platforms in America promoting this propaganda about vaccines in Black America It is insulting to observe so many White Media platforms and prominent Black Americans endorsing this backward and destructive messaging and fiction about vaccines in this pandemic It is truly offensive to observe so many in America purchase this low and bigoted views about Black Americans and medical science The fact is the overwhelming majority of Black Americans are eager and ready to take these vaccines BLM

Vaccines and Black Folks

 As a Black Activist for over 5 decades in America , I will always speak truth to power regardless of race or politics 

Regarding Black Americans and Covid -19 vaccines here and now in America

The overwhelming majority of Black Americans are not reluctant to take these vaccines 

The media especially continues to send this racist messaging based solely on polls and racial assumptions 

This destructive narrative insults the basic intelligence of Black Americans and our instinctive capacity to recognise the reality of lethal infections like Covid -19

This is America 2020 not America during the years of the Tuskegee Experiment on Black Americans 

The fact remains Black Americans know that the worse adverse effects of a vaccine is not death yet death comes with lethal adverse infections of the Covid virus 

Now is the time to demand by any and all means necessary the equitable distribution of these vaccines to Covid’s most vulnerable communities clearly Black America is one of these communities

Vaccines and Tuskegee

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment was inhumane. The deception and treatment of its Black  patients was truly evil. Its impact on the moral and ethical implications of medical research in our society is profound 

In reality as human beings, We have a moral and ethical duty to save and preserve our life and others.

The development and creation of the Covid-19 vaccines is nothing remotely like the horrific research done in the Tuskegee study which only used Black people to conduct experiments and research 

Covid -19 has targeted the most vulnerable in our nation including a disproportionate health care calamity of infections and deaths for Black Americans with Covid-19

Black America has a moral and ethical duty to save and preserve our lives and others. History provides us with profound knowledge Yet we can’t allow it to handcuff our considerations in saving and preserving life in this pandemic
