Let me go on record July 11, 2020, if Joe Biden wins the presidency this November, (we should know one way or the other in December if national mail-in voting is encouraged), suddenly about 70 to 80% of the current policies will become correct, and be fully supported.

Why is this? One word. Obfuscation. The blue party is obfuscating. If you do not see that, then you have your blue colored glasses on. Ask yourself why policy after policy was okay eight years ago, but since a red colored president was elected those same actions are ‘racist, bigoted, xenophobic, homophobic, and any other garden-variety degrading adjective that can be dug up from the depths of Roget’s Thesaurus.

‘That’s not true! Name just one!’

Okay, President Obama was for stronger border protection, and not letting illegal crossers jump ahead of the law-abiding immigrants. He said it was clearly unfair and he would stop it. If you don’t believe it look it up, hurry Google may sanitize those videos as they do not play well with the current blue narrative. I have seen President Obama clearly stating that.

I suspect that ‘open borders’ chant will die a sudden death when President Joe Biden takes office, because that was never real. It was an attempt to ‘obfuscate’. Just as a three-year-old will refuse ice cream from a parent that angers them, the party of blue is so doing, knowing full well, at the expense of our country’s stability.

Some have said it out loud, although most think it quietly, the worst we can make this country while a red party president is on office, the better for the blue party. They feel it’s like a ‘chemotherapy’. You must lose some healthy tissue to ultimately excise the cancerous infection.

So, if we cause, stimulate, chaos, make little or no attempt to even try to support a red party solution, we will most likely, re-gain the White House. Ohhhh! They missed that one. They could have tied Donald Trump to the racist term ‘White House’! Does that sound silly to you? It will, until it actually happens! LOL

No one thought Hamilton (the play revered by blue party members country wide) would ever be the target of statue-removal. And how loud they laughed when red party members cried, ‘Next, they will be wanting to topple George Washington and Abraham Lincoln!’

The blue party has a very short memory. And the red party is like a sleepy old dog that just lies there while the cat slaps him on his floppy ears non-stop.

We have a big problem in this country. We are headed for a train-wreck. Thank you, Google. Your actions have had the unintended consequences of hurrying us toward that collision. Twitter, you also either deliberately or unknowingly assisted.

I have no doubt that 85% of the ‘news’ media knew full well what they were doing. Stirring the pot. Some for the viewers, to bolster ad dollars, and some because they were owned by Billionaires that ordered them to.

Another example that Google may wipe away soon is Don Lemon. Several years ago, he gave a frank analysis of the problems holding back black progress in America. Today he would vehemently disagree with every word he said because it is virtually the same thing the red party is saying today!

Watch this Don Lemon video on YouTube (owned and very much controlled by Google’s umbrella company, if they haven’t yet removed it, as I am certain they will!) https://youtu.be/YyFrvyqQd6w

I think this was 2012? When CNN actually allowed it’s ‘opinion hosts’ to have opinions. Don Lemon gives five good strategies to restore the respect and power to the black community.

Every one would be supported by every red colored voter and should also be by the blue, but thanks to a long decisive game plan by the most powerful social media in concert with the vast majority ‘news’ media, the blue party has slammed itself against the left wall, next stop: Marxism.

There will be many casualties when this train-wreck occurs. I just hope our Democracy survives.

This is a story of a man that proclaims ‘white privilege is a myth’. Let’s hear his story.

He started with no great advantage in a poor neighborhood. He believed Marxism was best for our country. He left school at the age of 16 and took a menial dead-end job delivering messages. He had two good eyes, and he watched how things worked. He would see how the rich parts of New York lived and then the tenements in poverty. Surely Marxism was a better way!

For one year eleven months and five days he was a United States Marine! Following the short stint in the military he went back to school. He went to Harvard University, got a Masters at Columbia, and a Doctorate in Chicago, and was still a devout Marxist!

During his summer vacation, he got a job at the U.S. Dept of Labor. There he got to see how the government’s goodwill sometimes went wrong. He began to see everyone seemed to have an angle. There did not seem to be a pure effort to solve anything.

He noticed when the Dept of Labor jacked up the minimum wage in Puerto Rico, the results were many Puerto Ricans lost their jobs! But the Dept of Labor seemed to be blind to that. Maybe not blind, as also one third of the government jobs depended on administering the minimum wage laws! So, their government jobs were at stake if there was no minimum wage!

Now he has lost faith in Marxism and government, in general! Many years later, he wrote in one of his dozen books, ‘The constrained vision ‘sees the evils of the World as deriving from the limited and unhappy choices available, given the inherent moral and intellectual limitations of human beings.’

What a mouthful, from a 16-year-old dropout! Can you see this mans ‘white privilege’ showing through? Did he make it, strictly because of the color of his skin? Today he still streams to Millions of viewers (many fans, really), about unintended consequences when we ‘try’ to ‘fix’ a problem.

Today, he spouts, ‘the Myths of Economic Inequality’, and this blockbuster rebuttal to a New York Times journalist remarking that the gaps in wealth and educational achievement between blacks and whites is due to the lingering effects of slavery.

Our man of privilege wrote: If we wanted to be serious about the evidence, we might compare where blacks stood a hundred years after the end of slavery with where they stood after 30 years of the liberal welfare state. In other words, we could compare hard evidence the ‘legacy of slavery’ with hard evidence of the ‘legacy of liberals’.

One problem though. Our man of white privilege, is, not white! Whaaat? Nope he is black. And now it is time, in the great tradition of Paul Harvey, (if you don’t know who that is, google him), for ‘the rest of the story’. This is the life of Thomas Sowell, one of the least political and best educated men in the World!

His ability to stand back and see the ‘big picture’ has awakened Millions of viewers all over the World. Understanding the unintended consequences of trying to fix everything especially using a divisive government, (more often than not trying to keep their own jobs at everyone else’s expense), is part of the problem, not the solution. The real solution will come from men like Thomas, and people that learn from them.

Sometimes you need to step back and see the big picture. If doctors relied on our own diagnoses, we would often ‘die on the table’! What has occurred for the last forty years is proof positive that we, (the patient) do not know what is wrong and will never be able to fix it until discovery is made. elimigator may very well have put his finger on the elusive problem making it possible for a real solution.

To provide as the rationale behind the levels of nihilism/anarchy on exhibit across the country as resulting from the latest instance of police brutality, no matter how evidenced or shocking to everyone’s conscious it was, seems simpleton to me.

History and ample empirical evidence would indicate that the angst is more about a ineffective and further deteriorating process that engenders aeolian equity imbalances as they are meted out to minorities. Especially African Americans.

In getting to this point over the last many decades, we have managed to snatch sectarian defeat from the jaws of valuable civil rights victories.

There were hard fought and humanly costly civil rights victories achieved/won in the 60s. In the succeeding decades the subsequent gains focused largely on granting and protection of the rights to access .( restrooms, water fountains, schools, voting booths, employment, private businesses, legal systems, interracial marriage etc..) The thought that equal access would lead to equal opportunity, equality and and the biggest prize of all (equity for all) were always misguided.

A blue ribbon panel called by LBJ (Kerner Commission 1967-68) in effect predicted current and proposed policies would lead to a racially divided / apartheid like society .  “Our nation is moving toward 2 societies one black one white, separate and unequal”.  We didn’t listen or couldn’t comprehend, and we now have racial enclaves high in crime with little hope , poor education etc.

In those ensuing years process and politics have constructed and maintained various programs/policies/prescriptions that that 1st provide then withdraw fundamental aide from the needy if/when/as they make even minor temporary, transitional, ephemeral progress from poverty toward equity. Such delineated, circumscribed assistance(s) has the effect of subsidizing the poor and the lineaments of the disparate.

Similar policies were/are enabling, even encouraging and subsidizing those without hope to reside in enclaves with those of similar circumstances for generations. (similarly policies exist  that maintain a system and processes that escorts immigrants into a perpetual subclass of labor for our naturalized citizens to exploit) .

These well intentioned but poorly thought out and implemented (maybe no accident) programs came post hard fought for bipartisan legal changes that gave minorities “new” improved legal rights and access to what GOD and the Constitution had already given, but obdurate prejudices  have since continually and always circumvented and stayed any significant permeation into society as a whole. 

I guess the thought was the ancient implacable engrams of racial biases would naturally evolve or be replaced/balanced/offset with new engrams more reasoned , absent preconceptions. Then a more organic universal equity would evolve . 

While in my generation segregation has been legislated away and in a narrow way , the process has encouraged succeeding years to have passed without substantial, effective action that actually improves minority access to the ladder that leads to equity, which would in turn leads to equality. Not equality as merely a word or concept but as a intellection that gives way to a realization . 

To add fuel to the chronic equity/equality tribulations the lack of competent leadership ,while not new , is currently particularly egregious in that authority is more interested in putting the  political opposition in a synthetic unacceptable light rather than engaging in a Socratic problem solving process.  

Even worse the language of leadership gives a pass to illegal bad behaviors including violations  of individual and human rights as long as it serves a ( always political) purpose.  Ironic ? While the objective is political and likely not the propagation of racism, the actual effects are to engender generational inequalities. 

So, Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd . That single event spawned a excellent motivation and climate for change. Massive peaceful protest (worldwide !) bolstered by egregious violence certainly would assure chronic issues of inequity could no longer be neglected or relegated to the political dust bin called oblivious.

Almost like the good old 60s huh?  Maybe or elected leaders would put together non bias Blue Ribbon Panel(s) for ideas that address disparities in job opportunities, access to and quality of education and job training, access to and quality of healthcare and outcomes, access to investment capital,  improve community protection from crime and its consequences ( including police violence and black on black violence) , etc…

We could recognize the good work of the Panel by how it incentivizes the successful  ( say good grades and a community service record guarantees a full ride to collage or trade school)  yet provides a equitable alternative path to the less fortunate that enables an imitation of the opportunities a non minority is born with. Surely this moment in time is going to necessitate a new political puissance , right?

Well maybe not. It seems to me the 2 top elected leaders in the Senate and the Speaker of the House ( all totaled well over a hundred years in politics) have created a small insignificant yet opposition legislations  re: police training et. al.  that if passed will ( read as sarcasm) clear up the whole mess that the orange guy has managed to make in just three _ing years! 

Amazing, while the good people the Kerner panel spoke to us about decades ago still wait, the persons always present and that have overseen the decades old debacle of inaction, disingenuous action and action for political gain have done it again . They have legislation at the ready… you just have to re-elect them .

Maybe if you the electorate are so angry ( along with a certain skosh of limited capacity) you might not recognize the legislation is tiny , not significant to the larger issue of justice, parity, and equitable actions creating equitable reactions but more suited for political gain than seizing the momentum on the issue of generational unfairness and injustices
