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

Confederacy and Slave Owning Presidents in America

The public domain in America is a profound space in our nation,this space is sacred in our nation, for most Americans the public domain is where the face of America is observed not only by its citizens but others from around the world.For centuries it has paid respect and tribute to America’s icons from presidents and inventors to social justice warriors.

Far too often the public domain is missing women, minorities and others who shaped America and its history, in truth many  public spaces in our nation  don’t capture the achievements of Non Whites and others. In fact many states today in America don’t have any public tributes and memorials or statues of Native Americans as well as Black and Brown heroes and heroines .

This betrayal of the public domain is often intentional and expressed to intimidate , discount and express contempt for the contributions to America by people of color and women. It is a public expression of exclusion and the affirmation of only the history of White Americans yet ignoring the genius and profound contributions of Non- Whites and Women of America.

The Confederacy memorials , street and building names do just that especially on the souls and humanity of Black Americans. Every memorial to the Confederacy erases the history of Black Americans while glorifying the very essence of the twisted Confederacy in our public domain.

The sheer volume of these Confederate statutes and the majestic stature of these monuments dictate and depict a state of worship and adoration for an America that would never respect the humanity of Black people in America.

Yet in the same breath so does the memorials ,  statues , buildings and street names of our presidents that owned and raped slaves. These offensive monuments don’t belong in the public domain any more than the Confederate tributes. In fact the hypocrisy of our presidents who owned slaves dwarfs that of any Confederate hero given the endless and hollow grand declarations of freedom, liberty and individual rights often articulated by these hypocritical presidents.

Apologists for these offensive presidential statutes hold no quarter nor standing when they proclaim the evil and racism of our presidents who owned and raped slaves deserve immunity and a pass because they were honorable figures and national heroes despite their twisted and inhumane legacies on Slavery. Many who deflect and make excuses for our slave owning presidents seek to make them deities and not subject to criticism and objective reviews and nor accountable for their moral deprivation.

Even now in America far too many want to sanitize their individual and collective inhumanity and engage in the worst of historical revisionist narratives. The script of racial amnesia in the portrayals of flawed human beings like our slave owning presidents is not worthy of being celebrated nor displayed in the public domain

Never too late to Right Wrongs

Remove them all ...

Considerations

When the racial grievance accountants complete their annual inventory of acts of bigotry, racism, disparate treatment etc towards Black Americans it will have to be inclusive and comprehensive

The debits and credits must include the behaviors and activities of immigrants and other minorities . White Americans certainly will have their own column on the ledger and the footnotes must include the self hate acts of Black Americans

I welcome the new age software that will provide individual audits , I know I will have some debits and credits

I pray my final audit will be in the Black:-)

Perspective

So many revelations and discoveries of late regarding the massive scope and depth of racism in America sometimes it staggers me ..

From the granular to its systemic and structural pervasiveness of the disease of racism, it is astounding how Black folks are so humane  in the abyss of such inhumane depravity.....

When I meet and observe my brothers and sisters I am in awe. What a majestic people with such incredible capacities to  forgive to live and let live.....

I am so proud of Black Americans... I admire all that you are and all that is you .. I know the smiles can’t comfort all the pains and wounds of living while Black in America......

I know every word nor story can heal the broken ones . I know this, I will forever reach out and give you all of my soul my brothers and sisters.....

I luv you Black America
