A Message to White America

Image
A segment of white America was moved by the lynching of George Floyd. Organic protests spawned all over the country only to graduate to international protests. Many whites, particularly the younger generation, are crying out for change. Any human being who witnessed Floyd’s lynching on video should have been moved to act. A segment of White America has expressed a sincere interest in helping the cause. They want to help eradicate racism and live in a state of peace with everyone but seek guidance. In order for the latter to be achieved there are some hard truths that must be embraced by white America. The euphoria and momentum that’s been built based upon the lynching of George Floyd can be sustained, but it must be carried forward based upon truth, adopting an open mind and rallying around a common goal. Floyd’s lynching, while tragic, has provided the impetus to change moving forward. For those who truly want to adopt change below is a road map. I don’t expect to reach everyone.

Trump: The Devout Racist Declares War on America

Image
Donald Trump has hijacked the lynching of George Floyd the germinate the societal seeds of white supremacy and racism to create mass chaos. He has stoked the racial coals in creating a fiery and dangerous climate of hate that is so grave that civil unrest is inevitable once those seeds come full bloom. In the home children are socialized to abide by and respect parental authority. In sports, franchises and athletes are expected to exercise decorum to respect their fellow competitors irrespective of the outcome. American citizens are expected to show deference and respect to the office of the President of the United States irrespective of their politics. My apologies in advance. I do not show deference to the racist ilk of Donald Trump. I do not vibe with or associate with known bigots because I detest racism and vile scum like Trump. Time-and-time again Trump has consistently demonstrated to has the intellect of a doorknob and the compassion of an assassin. Without qu

George Floyd: Karma Suggests Minneapolis Must Burn

Image
There is a growing narrative that is being ignorantly embraced by a large segment of the masses. A segment of people have utilized energy condemning protesters/looters/rioters for “destroying their own communities.” If the city of Minneapolis burns to the ground, it burns. It is a small price to pay for the 401-years of suffering African-Americans have endured in this country. Now, allow me to explain. The lynching of George Floyd   lit the stem of the collective frustration with Americas unwillingness to extend the collective privilege whites have enjoyed in this country since they conquered the aboriginal people in the name of racism white supremacy. Now the bomb of frustration has exploded across the country and rightfully so. To breed a refined clarity of what we are witnessing can only be comprehended by delving into the historical development of this country. It is the only way to understand who is responsible for planting the initial seeds of violence and uprisin

The Lynching of George Floyd

Image
May 25, 2020 George Floyd was lynched in Minneapolis Minnesota at the hands of law enforcement for the whole world to see by way of video. Floyd was detained by four Minneapolis police officers upon leaving a store. It was alleged he had counterfeit currency. Based on various video accounts Floyd was not shown to be unruly nor did said accounts demonstrate Floyd ever resisted arrest. The only resistance that’s clear to a large segment of the world was former officer Derek Chauvin forcibly kneeling on Floyd’s neck that ultimately resulted in his death. This afternoon, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. As of this writing the other three officers have not been charged. It’s a damn shame that Chauvin was arrested so late in the game yet CNN Reporter, Omar Jimenez, a man of color mind you, was arrested yesterday on live television for merely doing his job. February 23, 2020 Ahmaud Arbery was murdered while jogging. March 13, 2020

2018 World Series: Revelations of Truth That Must be Acknowledged

Image
Los Angeles In life many often arrive at conclusions based on what we see with our eyes while ignoring what the heart and spirit attempts to reveal. Truth often resides beyond what we see. As a journalist covering the World Series I am acutely aware of what many of the story lines will be. Can Clayton Kershaw win a meaningful game and improve upon his 9-9 post season record? Will the Boston Red Sox win another World Series and lay claim as being a legitimate dynasty over the last 15-years? Will the Los Angeles Dodgers, after a 30-year hiatus from winning it all, finally lay claim to another World Series Crown to avenge last year’s loss to the Houston Astros? While the latter are all noteworthy topics for discussion one can reasonably conclude other topics are worthy of note. In life we often arrive at conclusions based on what we see with our eyes while ignoring what the heart and spirit attempts to reveal. Truth often resides beyond what we see. My eyes

Remembering 9/11: The Time Has Come to Change the Narrative from Fiction to Fact

Image
Prescott Bush shaking hands with Adolf Hitler As many people reflect and remember what happened September 11, 2001 there are some items the American people need to consider that’s largely remained hidden. Quite frankly the world has been seriously duped into believing the terrorists ascended from abroad when actuality they were born and bred on American soil. George W. Bush has long been relaxing in his new spread in Texas knowing he pulled a fast one on the American people. Bush managed to ride off into the sunset after destroying this country by socially engineering people that 9/11 was perpetrated by outsiders when it was an inside job by the American government. Perhaps if you knew the Bush family legacy and how they operated you’d likely conclude many have indeed been seriously duped. The time has come for the people to stop embracing the fictitious narratives and embrace the truth. In 1966 George W. Bush’s grandfather Prescott Bush , stated the following, “There's

Ray Rice: Has the Media Destroyed Ray Rice’s Career?

Image
Ray Rice was given his walking papers by the Baltimore Ravens after video released by TMZ showed Rice punching his wife Janay Rice in the elevator of an Atlantic City in February. Soon after the incident Rice married his then fiancé, took his punishment in stride and began to move on with his life. Rice was set to serve a two-game suspension handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell but, amid the recent video, Goodell amended his verdict by suspending Rice indefinitely. After watching the video several times over it’s unquestionably damning and revealing. Seeing Rice’s wife face down after being struck was alarming indeed. But were the Ravens and the NFL justified in stripping Rice of his ability to make a living as a result? I find it hard to believe the recent video that just surfaced wasn’t already viewed by the NFL. The timing of its release doesn’t feel right nor does it pass the smell test in my opinion. Furthermore, I don’t believe Rice should be stripped of
