Impeach Trump? Again?

Impeach Trump? Again?

2 B clear: Donald Trump is an unqualified, unsophisticated patsy. The GOP was already on a downward trend when he entered Presidential Politics. Trump's True Strength, is the Mass Appeal that he built over the last 40Yrs. He resonated w/ the 'grassroots' of White Society- a group that was eager 2 wash the taste of Barack Hussein Obama out their mouths. Republicans collectively propped Trump up as 'El Presidente'- feeding his ego, while Corporate Donors made $$$ hand over fist from the policies of the Trump Administration. Those 'In the Know', understood Donald Trump was being set up 4 a Great Fall...

Congress can move 2 Impeach him again 4 'rabble rousing', but in truth, he was merely the guy w/ the bullhorn. What about the hundreds of flag waving folk that claim Love & Respect 4 their country, but had no problem breaking the Law & killing 5 in the process? What about the number of politicians, police officers, & civil service men & women that took part in the insurrection? What about the Capitol Police Officers that allowed insurgents 2 enter The Capitol; or the Officers that let them in, & gave directions? What about the GOP members cowering in the Chamber that supported Trump's Platform? 4 better or worse, these men & women supported his method throughout his tenure.

Blaming Trump alone makes 4 a nice & neat package, but many R culpable in creating the 'snowball' that crashed into the U.S. Capitol, & other national locations. America collectively has a short memory, so many may have 4gotten that The (recent/latest) rise in White Supremacist activity, was the direct result of Colin Kaepernick taking a knee 2 quietly protest police violence against Black Americans. Donald Trump fanned the flames, but he didn't light the fire.

I'm reminded of the destruction of Black Wall St./ Greenwood nearly 100Yrs ago. The death, destruction, & dislocation of hundreds of families was instigated by a 'phantom' newspaper article. This article was a Call 2 Arms, in defense of a White Woman's honor. The result, was scorched earth & 300 citizens murdered. The Newspaper article didn't start the massacre, it only fed on a sentiment that already existed. People felt motivated 2 act. It's the same w/ Trump. He was just 2 self involved 2 see that he would take the ultimate blame, while GOP Conservatives get 2 slink away & regroup the Republican Party. They shouldn't B allowed 2 pretend their hands R clean.

It's pretty clear that the 'White Supremacist' genie is out the bottle. This effort 2 Impeach Donald Trump a 2nd Time, is not about Trump, but rather his followers. The Establishment blinked! The General Public may not remember, but The Gov't KNOWS that White Supremacist activity rises during Periods of Recession. Destruction of most Black Towns coincided w/ Economic Recessions- 'Separate But Equal' Laws meant separate Economies. The current Recession motivated by COVID 19 has brought on a progression of White Supremacist behavior. 4 his part, Donald Trump has acted more like a Circus Ringleader, than a calculated strategist.

That being said, Republicans fear Trump's rapport w/ this Group. They have been the GOP's foot soldiers @ the Voting Booths 4 the last 40Yrs. They obviously fear his return in 2024. They KNOW that he & his Team will B 4Yrs wiser. He mowed down the GOP's 'Cream of The Crop' as a novice; what he could do in 2024, is probably cringe worthy 4 them. Meanwhile, Dems get 2 finally Slay The Dragon- The Big Bad Boogeyman excommunicated from politics... Mike Pence appears 2 B treading water politically- in a shark tank. I see a man trying 2 keep all of his options open.

-Jeff Sessions could've learned a Thing or 2 from Mike Pence.

Americans R beginning 2 realize The Fact that the U.S. Gov't owes Black America/ ADOS a debt that has gone unpaid 4 roughly 155Yrs. Affirmative Action amounted 2 an 'Interest Payment'. The accrued interest & Cost of Living over the years has pushed The Debt into the tens of Trillions of Dollars. Our call 4 Reparations amounts 2 a lien on that debt, & WE HAVE 1ST POSITION.

-We're NOT letting this go.

Prof. Black Truth makes a point:

Over the years, America has launched a WAR on Communism, Drugs, Poverty, & Terrorism- where is the War on White Supremacy? -Should I hold My breath?

The suicide of U.S. Gymnastics Coach John Geddert exacerbates an ongoing problem in Women's Athletics. It's pretty clear that alot of the men entrusted 2 nurture, protect, & train our girls & young ladies can't handle the responsibility. We need Our Women 2 either take over coaching roles, or act as chaperones. Either way, more women should B assigned 2 watch over these athletes.

We also have 2 find a way 2 motivate Our Female Athletes 2 speak up sooner. As a Society, We MUST create an environment that encourages Our girls & ladies 2 speak up when they R violated. If a 'Man' is defined by the Quality of Life that the Women around him experience, what does THIS say about Us as Men?

The Myth of 'Flat Blackness'

For The Record, Black America is not monolithic. We don't just come in different Shapes, Sizes, Skin Tones, & Hair Textures; We have different Spiritual (Religious), Political, Sexual, & Philosophical beliefs. What we All share in common, is the Cultural Experience of being American Descendants of Chattel Slavery. Despite Our differences, THIS is what binds Us. We can All look back to an Elder Matriarch & Patriarch that dared to dream of a better Life for their Family, & future generations.

Our Family in Afrika, South America, & The Caribbean also share an experience of Slavery, & the atrocities associated w/ it. That said, The Black American/ ADOS Experience is unique. While Our Family throughout the Diaspora experienced Revolution, Freedom, & (some degree of) Sovereignty [i.e. A Flag], Black America did not. While European Immigrants were 'given' Millions of Acres of Land, We received 10Yrs of Reconstruction, followed by 90Yrs of 'Black Codes' & Jim Crow. Then came 10Yrs of Affirmative Action, followed by 45Yrs of Social Engineering & Criminalization. Our Legacy, is one of perpetually fighting the forces of White Supremacy.

Over the last 35- 40Yrs, Society has amalgamated Black Immigrants into Black America; Jesse Jackson's classification of 'Afrikan American' in 1988, only helped the effort to place Us under one umbrella. While the designation is genealogically true, it was a cultural misstep. Black America didn't push back @ this designation, because We were in the midst of a Black Consciousness Movement that celebrated Pan- Afrikanism. Plus, Black Immigrants lived in Black American Communities, & made significant contributions to the Collective over the Years.

Arturo Schomburg, Marcus Garvey, Dr. Yosef Ben- Jochannan, Kwame Ture (Stokley Carmichael), Shirley Chisholm, & Minister Louis Farrakhan are just a few of the Black Immigrants that aligned w/ Black American Culture. They are celebrated & revered by Black America as Icons of Our Culture. The American Government had a problem w/ that. In the mid- 1970s Henry Kissenger used The U.S. Information & Educational Exchange Act, (currently known as The Smith- Mundt Modernization Act of 2012) to put Afrikan, South American, & Caribbean Nations 'On Notice' regarding their relationship w/ Black America.

Using this 'Act', the U.S. Gov't depicted Black Americans globally as uncultured criminals & deadbeats, while simultaneously indoctrinating the immigrants that were issued Visas. By 1980, We began to see a Cultural shift. People that were 'Black & Proud' began to wave flags, & tout where They came from. On College Campuses, Black Student Unions fractured into Black, Caribbean, Latino/ Hispanic, & Afrikan Student Organizations. We celebrated the Cultural Diversity of the Black Diaspora, but over time, competition w/ & critique of Black American Culture grew.

While Black American Communities struggled w/ Unemployment, lack of Resources, & fewer Opportunities under 'Reaganomics'; Immigrant families that already had the financial means to relocate to another Country, were given access to Affirmative Action Programs meant specifically for Black America/ ADOS. These programs meant 2 'level the Playing Field' 4 Black America, now went to newcomers seeking their own 'American Dream'.

By the 1990s, a New Wave of Black Immigrants appeared in America w/ preconceived ideas about Black Americans. They were rude, disrespectful, & wanted nothing to do w/ Us. They began to cluster in enclaves, like European & Asian Immigrants. While this is by No Means the actions of Every Immigrant, it was a Group Collective effort. As Black American/ ADOS Communities suffered from Neo- Liberal 'Benign Neglect' & 'Tough on Crime' measures that:

Incarcerated hundreds of thousands of Black Men

Broke down Family structures, forcing Black Women 2 'Carry the Load'

Caused an 'Exodus' of Black Middle Class families that drained Communities of Mentors, Role Models, & Tax Dollars- creating an environmental & moral cesspool Nationally

Manufactured Poverty, which opened Communities up 2 lawlessness by Cops & Criminals- opening the door 2 gentrification

Elevated Drug & Gang Activity

Created Nutritional (Food) Deserts

Created a Homelessness Epidemic

Immigrant enclaves prospered, as Home & Business Ownership rose. Black Immigrants reinvested in their Communities, & the increase in Tax Dollars ensured proper Services (Roads, Water/ Sewage, Sanitation, ect...) & Political Representation were consistent.

This is NOT a knock on Black Immigrants- They R living 'The American Dream'. What I want to point out, is how skewed the #s get, when Statisticians include Black Immigrants into an overall Black American narrative. Our experiences R different. It makes Black America/ ADOS look better off than We really R. It may B due 2 their sovereignty, but Black Immigrants have more autonomy than We do. The Truth is that Black Immigrants R outperforming ADOS on nearly Every Level. In a 40Yr span, roughly 8 Million Black Immigrants have amassed more assets than 20- 30 Million American Descendants of Chattal Slavery have in 144Yrs. THIS didn't happen by accident, or because they 'work harder' than the people that literally built America.

The disrespect comes from those Black Immigrants that believe that They R somehow superior 2 ADOS, when in fact, They stand on Our shoulders. They call Us Lazy, Stupid, 'Cotton picking N-s' [Akata], & say that We lack Discipline & Culture. All of this, while taking advantage of 'Diversity Initiatives' that were never meant 4 Them. Black Immigrants were less than 1% of the [Black] population during the Jim Crow Era; most came after 1980, so what exactly R They being rewarded 4? They R conveniently 'Black' when it's time 2 take advantage of what is meant 4 ADOS; but R flag waving, hyphenated Americans the rest of the Time. Truth IS Truth.

As ADOS demands Reparations from the American Gov't, (some) Black Immigrants feel that They R also entitled 2 whatever We receive. Black Immigrants dominate the Congressional Black Caucaus, so politicians like Sheila Jackson Lee R trying 2 shift Reparations talk 2 a Trans Atlantic discussion. ADOS has No Standing in CARICOM, so why should others get a position in what We R due? They R living 'The American Dream', while We continue 2 experience the American Nightmare. Where is the solidarity?

Barack Obama & Kamala Harris R touted as 'The 1st Black President' & 'The 1st Black Vice President', but neither have a Black American Experience. Both R more aligned w/ the aspirations of many Black Immigrants- Suburban Life, Private Schooling, & little 2 no contact w/ Everyday Blackfolk. Again, this type of amalgamation skews the data of Black American Life. Black America/ ADOS has a Culture of 'Fighting The Power', while the majority of Black Immigrants gravitate 2 the Mainstream Culture. They 'get in where They fit in'. As a result, 2nd & 3rd Generation Black Immigrants R the 'Black' faces that We see the most in Mainstream Media.

As a result, too many 2nd & 3rd Generation Immigrants try 2 speak 4 Black America/ ADOS; but they lack the Cultural Experience 2 do so. People like Roland Martin, Candice Owens, Stephen A Smith, & Joy Reid R accomodationists, that care more 4 their personal well being, than the Black American Collective. They R condescending when speaking 2 Blackfolk, taking their cues from White Racists that they try 2 impress. This is not 2 say that every Black Immigrant behaves this way, or that there aren't ADOS out there that behave the same way. It just seems that over the last 30Yrs, America has only allowed this personality type entry into the country.

The concept of 'Flat Blackness' is simply false, because ADOS & Black Family from Afrika, South America, & the Caribbean R All Culturally different. By virtue of Our 'Region', We have different perspectives. White Supremacy understands that 'diamond cuts diamond', so Flat Blackness is a tool used 2 dilute the ADOS Experience, & Our ultimate demand 4 Reparations. It appears that The Goal, is 2 replace Us w/ immigrants, who R simply happy 2 live the American Dream that we have been denied. They seem 2 B unaware that once we're nullified, They will become The Target.

ADOS have tried the 'Kumbaya Coalition' time & time again, only 2 get disrespected by Our 'Partners'. I say, let Black Immigrants B 'Minorities', & POC/ BIPOC. ADOS needs 2 stand alone, so EVERYONE can clearly see what Our Experience looks like. The Black Immigrant experience, resembles the experience of other immigrants more than it does ADOS. Flat Blackness diminishes their accomplishments as much as it diminishes Our perceived Oppression. Contrary 2 what is being said, Black America/ ADOS has a rich Culture that The World mimics, but doesn't acknowledge. We also have a legitimate demand 4 Reparations that can't B ignored. Shame on Everyone that dares 2 deny Us.
