Movement

I shall host for MoveOn.org an event this Saturday at the Capitol in Jackson MS. I am moved to action not out of fear or anger but because it is time for action. I have watched media manipulation since the Reagan years. Even as a child I was able to discern media stories from real life. However I have encountered those who are victims of the hype. The sad part is those people have been elected to office. Governor Walker was upfront during his campaign about what he would,yet, he was elected anyway. He was elected due to a low voter turnout for mid-term elections. Those who did turnout to vote were also victims of media hype in the United States.

Media hype states:
Blacks have special programs that give free things to them

A woman is too dumb to make a decision regarding her own body but is smart enough to rear a child alone in silence.

Pre-emptive wars are a must to ensure our safety.

American corporations will trickle-down profits to employees and the communities that host the corporations. There will be no massive disparity in wages between management and hourly workers. The corporation will not relocate outside the United States to save money on health insurance and labor costs.

The biggest piece of hype today is the general American public is too stupid to govern itself and must have the aid if political insiders to understand what is needed by the public.

Such hype has become so accepted that it has taken Gov Walker to awaken the sleeping American public. I am moved to keep this movement going not out of fear or anger but out of love for my country. I love my country and I am just tired of the lies used to keep us fighting each other. As long as we vote against our best interest ( ie Gov Walker) we will not improve our lives. Only the lives of those who in power will be financially improved and in some cases the status quo will remain untouched.

We must do something now. Act out of love not fear to show those who would oppress us that we will not take it anymore. We are too smart for such low level thinking. Get up get out do something

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
