Sen. Tim Scott believes being called a Uncle Tom is equivalent to being called a Nigger . He believes that centuries of White racism is erased once a Black Person is called an Uncle Tom
Sen. Tim Scott is the Negro Minstrel and an Uncle Tom because of racism in America caused by the same White Americans who called him a Nigger
Sen. Scott would prefer being called a Nigger

Just had a fascinating dialogue with a liberal White professor on the issues surrounding the troubling trending spectrum and development of bigotry and contempt in liberal venues not conservative venues but liberal venues
In a nut shell he articulated to me that White Liberals are tired of the constant focus on diversity and race in America and they are getting annoyed and tired of the fixation on Race now in America
After letting him rant I offered my Big Ben Clock metaphor:
There are 24 hours in a day and for 23 hours and 45 minutes America has been consumed with Whiteness in every possible situation in every possible iteration for centuries
Black Americans now have 15 minutes to alter the very essence of this centuries old pathological nature of Whiteness in America
Tic Toc .. Tic Toc ... Tic Toc ...Tic Toc ....

The ‘press’ has the iconic stature of being affirmed with language imbedded in our US Constitution. It has played a truly profound role in the sovereignty of the USA....
It is also one of the most dangerous and destructive institutions in America as well. The media/press has been one of most racist institutions in America since the origins of our nation.....
The press has been a carrier of disinformation, propaganda on behalf of the US Government as well as both the private and public business sectors of America...
Our press has over its existence destroyed the social fabric of neighborhoods and property values of Non White homeowners with reporting that demonized immigrants and minorities seeking to integrate segregated communities....
Media platforms in America have contributed to hijacking our elections with massive political advertising and the checkbooks of politician’s lobbyists...
On topics involving the intersection of race and crime it has polluted discourse with the vile and decisive commentaries of twisted racist and sexist pundits ....
Today it is active in fermenting violence and distrust in our communities as the nation awaits the Floyd verdict. The press continues to allege White Americans are on edge and has all but scripted a violence driven reaction by Black Americans if the verdict is one of Not Guilty .....
The press is not worthy of its iconic status and stature in our US Constitution . The press of late in America is driven not by being guardians of freedom and related speech but by scripted propaganda, disinformation and fiction over facts...

Open Letter to Police of America
We need your help, the relationship between the police and citizens of America especially those of color is in a very fragile and crisis situation...There is fear and apprehension in our collective relationships and interactions . Our trust levels are in a spiral meltdown. We don’t need an ‘uncivil war’ within America between the police and the people of America ....We have to create a not only mutual and impactful respect for each other , We must explore and develop real time narratives and systemic policies that will impact the culture of policing.The way forward must mitigate and end the adversarial breach of trust that currently exists in our nation between the police and our communities.We must create a blueprint that delivers peace and the end to this ‘uncivil war’ that now exists in America between the police and selective communities in America....My community needs the police to police the police. We need those in uniform to stop the hate, fear and unlawful acts of policing in our communities . We know it is futile to ‘fix’ the police from the ‘outside’... We come in peace to create a body of peace otherwise the nation will implode and collapseMy community has a role as well. We must end the behaviour and conduct within our community firewalls that fosters and creates fear , tension and anxiety for the police in America.....Families on both sides of this uncivil war want to go home without the casualties of a ‘uncivil war’. We can’t continue to weather these killings, protests and a state of 24/7 fear and anxiety in the streets of America between those who take and oath to ‘protect and serve ‘ and its citizenry ...Let’s save America together
I am a old school activist, I am the type of activist that will come to your office, house , workplace to condemn, seek and secure Justice . I operate from the premises of making it up close and personal on certain issues and incidents of racism, inequality and the like
With this in mind, my strategy is changing in 2021, I am rolling with Stacey Abrams on her posture to not Boycott Delta Airlines with regards to the GA recent electoral reforms in their elections
I don’t want to punish the employees and workers for the racism created by politicians.
I am taking the same posture with GM and the Black Businesses that are going after GM’s CEO for not doing significant media bys with Black Media platforms etc
I own a GM vehicle and I have many family and friends that work for GM and have pensions
Activists of today must also evolve and ‘old school ‘ strategies don’t fit in this new world of global economies

HATE has consequences ....
Sometimes the impact and influence of Hate is immediate often it has a trajectory when the Hate intersects with Race especially in America .
I loathe the efforts of far too many Americans that seek to silence the condemnation of symbols, tributes, memorials and authors that have produced such Hate into our culture. Efforts to deflect and often make excuses for Hate in our culture are not only counter productive but often accelerate Hate by creating safe harbors under the guise of nuance and context.
I don’t intent to articulate a referendum or a litmus test on the racial character of Dr. Seuss aka Theodore Geisel . Instead I would rather speak to the toxic impact of some of his work that influenced and impacted children and students.
For myself and many children,students ,I read and enjoyed the splendor and beauty of words in many books I often read alone and without any parental oversight , review or permission. Many of my early reads were children books authored by Geisel.
Instinctively I knew his racist caricatures and verbiage that was a staple of many of his children books offended me and challenged the thoughts of my parent’s counsel , that as a Black child I was born with dignity deserving of respect and humanity.
Geisel’s celebrated writings were soaked and baked with deliberate and vicious depictions of people like myself and my family. If there ever was a person whose selective works deserved to be cancelled certainly from my reality and experience in America as a Black person Dr. Suess books fit the profile!
Geisel never issued a public apology to Black families and others. Geisel never authored a book that was aspirational nor elevated Black families.Yet during his career he found the politically correct courage to reject fascism and antisemitism including even finally bigotry.
It is never too late to ‘Right a Wrong’ is the lesson my parents taught me and it was the same lesson I delivered often to my children.
Dr. Seuss aka Theodore Geisel impacted and altered the consciousness and unconscious innocence of children and students with some of his racist books . The ability and capacity of many of us to evolve and not be forever contaminated by some of his ugly and racist books is a testament to our parents, teachers and others.
I welcome this opportunity to insert the lesson my parents taught me with regards to Dr.Seuss. I hope children today who encounter books and libraries that lack inclusion and diverse authors will not be defeated, broken and wounded if they encounter similar books like those written by Geisel.

For many the presence of a beautiful work of art on a canvas or the sound of music helps one navigate in a terrain of negative surroundings and situations.
Often an escape in the landscape of words in a novel or the viewing of a video or performance art helps sooth the persona in presence of negativity both psychological and political.
Yet the presence of Art that seeks to involve pain and contempt and evil is real and also a part of the terrain of life,those that reject the esoteric aspect of Art are often subject to righteous indignation .
From historical photographs of lynchings to twisted racial caricatures or profound paintings of religious figures that exclude the faces of diversity far to often the role of Art is political and destructive when it is weaponised . Politicians used the music of artists to peddle propaganda and disinformation in their political campaigns.
In the words of profound writings there are words and profanity laced with racist epitaphs that have been glorified and celebrated with tributes and awards. Students are compelled to render attention and respect for authors that compose language that is dehumanizing but is protected the canons of Academic Freedom
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is the right to condemn, censor , sanction and even ban Work of Arts that wound and bring pain and sorrow and despair to its audience
