I Am So Fucking Sick Of This World

I am so fucking sick of this world: The bullshit from all sides and the pretense that we live in some sort of democracy where everyone is treated equally or has equal access to basic justice.   I am so fucking sick of the bullshit I hear coming from so-called pundits and experts who fortify the foundation of lies, denials and inequality.

In the eyes of those that benefit from the status quo, racism is non-existent.  Black people are not denied basic access to decent housing or healthcare.  Police brutality doesn’t exist.  It is justified for cops to drive up to a playground and without communication and within seconds shoot and kill a 13-year-old kid playing with his toy gun.

This in a country where the NRA exalts the rights of white men and women to own guns but remains silent when such rights are denied to black men and women.  Philandro Castile murdered for owning a gun legally. I am so fucking sick of this world of bullshit, racism and hypocrisy.

The real terrorism in this world is the status quo.  It’s pervasive, nuanced, overt, structural and deeply embedded as it terrorizes and kills those who are different or refuse to swallow bullshit.  It kills the soul and the heart follows as more people live dead.  It denies targeted ethnic groups safety then blames them for their deaths. Denies those groups decent education, funneling them to prisons and forced servitude then label them lazy and violent.

I am so fucking sick of the status quo. I understand why someone tired of this world would say, I am going but not alone.  That is a person defeated by a ruthless system where recourse or justice is an illusion, not accessible in this life or world.

Yes, I am so fucking sick of this world and I don’t give a fuck whether what I write is proper or not.

Fuck this world!!! #FUCKTHISWORLD #IAmSoFuckingSickOfThisWorld

Food For Thought: How do we protect those with distinct voices?

How will we protect the frontlines of freedom from retaliation?


How do we protect those with distinct voices? That is a question worthy of careful thought. Police are powerful branches of government and retaliation can come in different forms , when it is least expected  and can be fatal.  How do we protect those on the frontline?

 

 

Let’s figure out:

1.  Ways to help avert retaliation —TRAINING & EDUCATION

2.  Offer  technical assistance—LEGAL SERVICES

3.  Offer monetary assistance to families for legal defense —CROWDSOURCING

 

Valuing the  inalienable rights of ALL people, means helping those fight  when necessary.  Need varies with context so finding ways to communicate and identify safety needs.   How do we help spread the fight and increase support for Individual Rights?  

 

Too many “Recognized”  well-funded organizations for human rights do not do their jobs well.   Many lost opportunities  because of  pre-occupation with busy.   

 

Ramsey Orta and Calvin Bryant, I believe are still imprisoned.   Are they still imprisoned? How are they? They  and the protestors in #Ferguson are  soldiers  of  the infantry of freedom, fighting on the frontlines.  

 

So, how do we protect the distinct voices of freedom from American tyranny?

 

Create an infrastructure of protection capable of  tracking  data and detecting corruption….. Let us brainstorm….

AWESOME Tribute: His Hands Were in the Air

Beautiful  song dedicated to Mike Brown.  TY David Rovics

His Hands Were in the Air

RIP Michael Brown. Unarmed teen executed in broad daylight by racist cop.

Lyrics:

His Hands Were In The Air

The town is mostly black, almost all the cops are white
You can see it right away, something isn’t right
There’s no funding for the schools and they’re being shut down
The powers that be don’t give a shit about the town

They were walking in the street, it’s the safest place to be
In case someone comes shooting, you got a better view to see
They were walking in the street, they weren’t hurting anyone
Then came a white man with a badge and a gun

His hands were in the air (4x)

“Get the fuck off the sidewalk,” that’s what the cop said
He cut them off in his car, fat face, blood red
The cop says he was attacked, and from a cursory check
It seems his fingers were assaulted by Michael Brown’s neck

There were witnesses who saw it, it was recorded on a phone
But the police couldn’t handle the light that would’ve shone
She was forced to hand it over so they could try to hide away
A racist execution in the middle of the day

He had just finished high school and was off to college next
Instead he was shot and killed with no pretext
The media joined in, called the community a mob
A cop called them animals while Michael’s mother sobbed

Malcolm X : Stand For Something or Fall For Anything

Malcolm X : Stand For Something or Fall For Anything

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.

– Malcolm X

***

 Our objective is complete freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary.

– Malcolm X

***

You show me a capitalist, and I’ll show you a bloodsucker.
– Malcolm X

***

In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.
– Malcolm X

***

Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world.
– Malcolm X

***

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.
– Malcolm X

***

If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.
– Malcolm X

***

If you have no critics you’ll likely have no success.
– Malcolm X

***

The day that the black man takes an uncompromising step and realizes that he’s within his rights, when his own freedom is being jeopardized, to use any means necessary to bring about his freedom or put a halt to that injustice, I don’t think he’ll be by himself.
– Malcolm X

***

There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
– Malcolm X

***

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
– Malcolm X

***

I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he’s wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.
– Malcolm X
