It's really that bad....

I don't know anyone who is involved with QAnon. I cannot fathom it.

HOWEVER, I do believe in one particular conspiracy theory. I believe that there is a "conspiracy" to keep people of color from being considered equal to white people on every level and in every arena. I honestly believe that there are some people within the 1% who think - how can we squash people of color. And then, how can we convince all of the white people in America to go along with it.

We have dealt with Jim Crow, forced incarceration, lynching, redlining, police brutality and out and out murder. We have been parodied, mocked, insulted, made the butt of jokes, twisted, caricatured and misrepresented. And the people who did it, and who do it, often have an agenda. The continuation of white supremacy.

Am I crazy to believe that there is a conspiracy? I don't think so.

I just don't know what to do about it. Black Lives Matter, Black Votes Matter, self-education, get the ball rolling, but not so far. Because the conspiracy has very, very deep roots. Over half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had slaves, and believed that black people were inferior. Very, very deep roots.
