I am White. I have spoken let it be done. So says NY Post editorial board

Blessing hearts daily is what I do. Bless you NY Post Editorial Board

Time for Black Lives Matter to grow-up. Dear ones, bless your hearts. You desire for this non-violent movement to grow into what? More Black males shooting officers? Black Lives Matter has been ridiculed and jailed in city after city. Black people (male/female) have been killed continuously without due process of law. Even audio and video of police officers not adhering to standard rules of engagement have not swayed court decisions.

Sunday after the shooting of officers in Baton Rouge I heard the term “radicalization” in regards to Black males. There was a desire to pin the blame on ISIS or Black Lives Matter rather than on the lack of due process of law. Person after person was mystified as to why two Black veterans would become so upset they would shoot police officers. This “radicalization” was a mystery. No one in any mainstream media stated the obvious truths; “Maybe, just maybe, these two young Black males were tired of watching the police kill other Black people without any redress.”

Rather than own to the fact there are racists wearing badges, the media continues to pump up a narrative that All cops are good. No, they are not. I have stated several times rouge cops make policing harder for actual “do their jobs without prejudice” police officers. These rouge officers allowed to do as they please radicalize the communities they are killing.

Black Lives Matter, has been very non-violent. There are some Black people who do wish to “fuck the police”. Yet, those people are not Black Lives Matter. Those working to ensure due process of law is given to every person understand violence begets more violence. They also understand the history of movements in America. NY Post editorial board you have it wrong Black Lives Matter is grown. You will not be allowed to spread the fake narrative that the ideology of Black Lives Matter is behind the killing of the police. No. Just stop.

If you wish to do something other than increase the existing fear of Black people, I suggest:

· Remove from the force members of KKK , neo-Nazi, etc
· Remove Billy Bad Ass from the force. He isn’t helping either.
· Allow for civil non-union suit against officers who commit these crimes
· Allow for civil suit against departments who hire or maintain officers no longer fit for duty
· Mandate officers must live in the communities they patrol.
· Precincts should be staffed accordingly to the number of citizens in the area.

It is time for White Americans to be honest. You, White America, know the history of the United States. You, White America, have audio and video of current day racism by law enforcement across the United States. When I call you, White Americans, out for being afraid, you say you are not. However, each time a cop murders an unarmed non-White person, the first words are “I was afraid”. Own your fear. Resolve your fear.

I don’t snap in the wind although this nation has shown me and my kind nothing but violence and oppression. As a Black lesbian mother I should a nervous wreck but I am not. I love those who would hate me as I love those who love me. I wake each morning to be more loving event though persecution will meet me at some point in my day. Stay loving in all things.

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes. I say take me over the cliff. I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold. Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living. It is time for a reality check across the board in America. If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all. The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families. Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state. If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
