(3,471 posts).... lives, maybe they'll soon become members of the white-billionaire club, what would that make 5 persons of color out of 400 white people. Damn! Stop the presses.. better stop those black and brown immigrants ..better do something about that affirmative action better get whites supremacists out there to terrorize them, brutalize them kill them, whip them, remind them of their place OR else they'll take over our Country, then what's next they'll want a black president ..oh wait they got one of those ..damn it .what else do those people want now? .. Can't have any of that, now do we ...besides our white president gave the ok to make america white again...
....now I am not a pop music fan more of a jazz fan--one evening I happened to come across, some music awards, now since I don't liveina a cave or under a rock, I had heard of Beyonce, and saw for her performance during the superbowl, of course racistwhite people criticizee her nonstop..she was toI militant? Meaning too black! I thought it was powerful, a stong confidant falented person...did you see that in her ? So as I'm watching music show, she appeared on stage wonderfully and glowingly pregnant ...showcasing motherhood, womanhood.. Her performance was stunningly beautiful and genius .. That's what I saw ...what did you see? You see we people of color love our beautiful skin tones ..it's racistwhite people that have a problem with that ...ask yourself do I see brown and black person or do I see beyond color?
..... If not, ask--am I influeced by racist stereotypical propaganda, lies about persons of color? Images on tvMsm and movies depicting us as criminals rapists thugs drug dealers gang members ....oh wait that's what that guy in the oval office has said about all of us ...AYE!... I refuse to watch programs/ movies where we are not shown in a positive light .so that leaves out 99.99% of programming and since I don't have cable that leaves minimal choices, for example just consider late night tv ..love all the comedians not one person of color ..though, .not one woman, shite! And, if we are present, we are the side kick or the Mexican side kick used as a pinata --well at least he has a job-- or the band, all wonderful people, yet that's not the point is it? When we are not shown as criminals we are gardeners, servants, janitors all noble jobs, yet look around you we are teachers, professors, engineers politicians, doctor lawyers, public servants, business owners, we are hard working people not all on welfare or medicaid, food stamps as racist republikkklans including eltrumpf want us all to believe.
....now on a different note, yet relative to wealthy Americans, I agree with Bernie Sanders' progressive platform ...and his mantra where it is criminal [my word]that the 1% of the 1% of Americans are billionaires (only 400 Americans) and multi -millionaires benefit from the existing tax code--pay less in taxes ..what was it that trumpf said to the question, as to why he didn't pay federal tax, amounting to appox 900million dollars [is that correct?] well he said it's all legal, that he was smart; and we're quibbling about whether Beyonce or Obama dare buy million dollar estates ...yes, wealthy people should pay their fair share, tax code reform is needed to eliminate tax loopholes, yet what are the republikkklans proposing now? Tax cuts, free money to billionaires and millionaire while the rest of US hard working Americans struggle, blaming the Mexicans, Blacks for abusing programs, taking jobs..which is a lie!
.....if I want a progressive platform as Bernie Sanders supports, I'm called a socialist - a communist ...if I want a fair distribution of wealth by rasing taxes on the very wealthy then..I'm called a socialist communist . yes raise taxes on the very wealthy where we all pay our fair share, really what is wrong with that ? Where we all pay and support social, economic, environmental protections/programs so that all Americans have a fair playing field to prosper, succeed at whatever they choose to do in life ....so with that, I thank you for allowing me to vent ..
Ps.....Bernie Sanders for President 2020!.... Tperrez. Cbooker. KHarris. T.Duckworth. E.Warren. Becerra. D. Archambault (sioux nation ) and L.Gutierrez--any one listed is as qualified, passionate, aggressive as the next to run for vice president .. If we want to win we need someone who can take it to eltrumpf (if he's still around) who doesn't back down, Cara y Cara! Will call a liar, a liar, a racist a racist because that is who we are dealing with right now. Sanders has name recognition, a large base, why invent the wheel? Forego the primaries and nominate Sanders for President..lets get ahead of the race, be proactive..so If we want to win in 2020 we need a progressive platform ---go big or go home --the whole enchilada!
