Very troubling phone call from daughter

[WokeAintWhatIAm]

23. Words cannot offer solace, but now is not the time for that.

I apologize for the length, but it has it's purpose.

I would like to tell you that all will be alright, and things are going to change for the better, but I will not do that.
I will not do that because uncertainty has become the norm and certainty has become now a lingering memory, perhaps an illusion.
Every classification has deemed now to categorize and separate people from people to create division and spread disinformation.

It is to my regret that my view on history is now unfolding before all our eyes, which is what has been the suppression and subjugation and second class status of the categorized minorities of this nation was always intended to be distributed to the general population under this premise. "If the diverse groups can be subjugated, suppressed and oppressed without push back, the greater similar whole cannot be far behind."

You have the benefit of cultural and familial connections around the world, I have at the age of 54 only become deeply aware of family connections going back to 1855 within the United States. But I have been deepening in my belief since I have first learned about the issue class and designation have on the exercise of basic civil and human rights.

America was not founded on Freedom, Liberty or Justice. It was founded on specific lines of privilege for the class of the founding members of the United States. White males were property holders for whom the law was meant to protect. The law was the hedge the privileged class built to suppress the possibility that the 'rabble' overthrew the 'gentry'.

In my study of history, psychological and sociological - the tyranny of the majority (the rabble) was meant to prevent the commoner from creating political power which suppressed the minority (the wealth holding class). Working people had been referred to as Wage Slaves when they were seeking a means of income and enslavement was a method of alleviating the burden of Wage Slave existence.

Enslavement became a means to profit from the labor of an individual while making no effort oneself. After the political war between the slave holding class and the burgeoning industrial, production class - two monied interests, war began on the basis of who controlled the wealth of the nation and by what means that wealth would become the possession of one class or the other.

Slavery wished to be spread to where slavery was not wanted, remember this.
Those who wished not to be exposed to enslavement fought to contain it - but not eliminate it in it's existent form.
One monied class wished to dominate the other on the basis of profit.
The other monied class wished to compartmentalize the slave economy and culture to where it was already established.

Six hundred thousand would die before the violence would end. But the tension did not dissipate - but fester, change form, find other outlets. Represented by 100 years ago the United States having pockets of great wealth, and areas where running water and sanitation was as mythical as the unicorn.

How does this apply to you.

Men, often white men, who accumulate wealth and resources needed by most of humanity see themselves as a benefactor, a provider to the 'lower' class of people. Often see themselves as able to exert their will against those who do not hold; 1) financial wealth, 2) political influence, 3) connection to power and thus do not have the means to exert their will against others.

These men do not believe they are part of the human race, people. People who think, cry, experience conflict and find the means to resolve conflict in a human and mutually beneficial way. They have left their humanity at the alter of materialism and power. They believe others are to perform and function at their demand and will not speak above a soft tone to get the behavior they are seeking from others.

This is not humanity. Empathy does not condescend from them, it is weakness. Error does not occur by them to be corrected - it exists to be obscured or justified by superior social order. They have their supporters who are the remora swimming along to do whatever instructed to catch the crumbs of their latest victim which they gladly help to attract and place in harms way.

Until the mass of people - all people make a declaration. That every person, on this planet, regardless of their origin or location, ethnicity or culture is deserving of the respect of their humanity. The right to be unharmed, left alone and respected in the sanctity of their person as long as they are exercising that same respect for others. And if they fail to respect those rights of others, they become subject to the law - equally, mutually and fully in the same regard from the lowest to the highest in our society and our world.

It is only when people are made uncomfortable do they choose to grow. Shoes too tight? You get a bigger size. Clothes don't fit? You get more comfortable fitting clothing - circumstances demonstrating to you that the government merely relied on the willingness of people to be respectful for the sake of living peacefully with one another, because that is American?

What has been American has been those with wealth using that wealth to gain more wealth at the cost of life if need be without regard to the future. I do not disagree it is nice to have 'things'. But when people become the 'thing', human need - the 'thing', human suffering, health and welfare - the thing of profit and control, it means that the system which function this way are unsustainable and work to serve a highly fortunate few, and to disregard a semi-conscious mass.

It is time to stop being comfortable with what has been and work to make a sustainable world for every man, woman, child, and being on this planet. This does not mean Socialism, Communism, or seek to eliminate Capitalism. It is essentially the tower of Babel in regard. Nimrod sought to build a tower to heaven on the backs of his subjects so that he could conquer it for himself.

This time it is not up to God to scatter this foolishness to the winds. But the people to learn to speak a language of unification regardless of difference. Find common ground of humanity without trying to destroy each other on minutia.

I want for you and yours what I want for me and mine - Peace, opportunity and the respect of safety, caring as much for yours as I do for my own. We're not going to get there until we join the human race, and recognize the need for unity at critical points even if we disagree.

Let's get freedom and justice for all finally.
