Truth: How Sweeping it Under the rug will hurt us all.

Understanding and acknowledging the importance of the racist component in the history of the USA is crucial for ensuring that the mistakes and injustices of the past are not repeated.

Fact : The history of the USA is marked by colonization, slavery, displacement, and systemic oppression, which have had far-reaching consequences for generations of individuals.

Fact : The experiences of indigenous peoples the African descendants and nonwhite Spanish-speaking individuals who for the most part are also indigenous to the now-called Americas have been characterized by violence, exploitation, cultural erasure, and institutionalized discrimination.

Fact:  By learning about and recognizing these histories, people can gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing impacts of colonization and slavery, as well as the resilience and resistance of these communities in the face of adversity.

FACT:  Racism can be taught thus it can be learned and was created to specifically to take away and or deny the human rights of certain individuals and or groups.

FACT:  It's also important to recognize that racism can exist in any group of people,
As such it is important as well to acknowledge that racism and bigotry can manifest in various forms and can be perpetuated by individuals of any background, including people of color.
As racism is a deeply entrenched and systemic issue that affects individuals and communities in multifaceted ways.

So it is by recognizing the existence of racism in all its forms, that we can work towards dismantling these harmful ideologies and promoting inclusivity, equality, and true justice for all.

By remembering and learning from the mistakes of the past, we can strive to create a more inclusive and compassionate society that values the dignity and rights of all individuals.
 
Failure to heed the lessons of history risks perpetuating patterns of oppression and violence that can have devastating consequences for humanity as a whole. It is only by confronting the truths of the past and working toward reconciliation and justice that we can hope to build a better future for all.

As such when it is your turn to engage in the political processes such as voting, please consider the candidates and policies that align with the principles of true equality, justice, and respect for all individuals.

You must understand !!! for a nation, it is crucial to ensure that elected officials are held accountable for failing to support policies that confront historical injustices and foster equity for everyone.
Therefore,  EDUCATE !!!  yourself and others before casting your vote for perpetuating outdated ideologies that have led us into a harmful cycle of hatred and potentially human extinction.

Prayers alone without corresponding actions will not suffice to advance peace and compassion for humanity.

The Antique Road Show

The Antique Road Show

Most if not all of the so-called antiques are soaked in the blood and pain of people of color …. No different than all the gold that adorns the Vatican.

The antique roadshow at times can make one throw up.

It's disheartening to witness on shows like the Antique Roadshow that the vast majority of participants, who are predominantly of Euro-descendant heritage now identifying as Americans, proudly display their so-called antiques with smiles, oblivious to the troubling histories behind their prized possessions. Many of these items were likely obtained through theft, colonialism, or exploitation, with almost all possibly linked to the dark legacy of slavery.

This is evident as well when individuals bring in Indigenous tribal items claiming them as their heirlooms, clearly highlighting the stark disconnect from reality that many people exhibit. The disparity in how many if not all of these items are perceived and valued sheds light on the systemic inequalities that have marginalized people of color for generations in this country, denying them the opportunity to preserve and celebrate their own cultural heritage, as well as stealing and erasing their truth.

It's troubling to witness how the pursuit of money often overshadows the ethical implications and historical injustices tied to these objects.

Such displays on shows like The Antique Roadshow serve as a stark reminder of the deep-rooted inequalities and injustices that continue to persist in our society, perpetuating a narrative that erases the voices and experiences of marginalized communities.

Racism in WAR

IN A JUST SOCIETY EVERYONE COUNTS NO MATTER WHAT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN IS ...WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE GOODNESS OF THE SOUL.

https://www.brookings.edu/.../the-russian-invasion-of.../

Need I say anything... Racism to the core.

There are many reports of Black people being refused at border crossings in favor of white Ukrainians, leaving them stuck at borders for days in brutal conditions. Ukraine stated they would first allow women and children on trains and transport out of the country to flee the Russian invasion. However, it seems they meant Ukrainian and European women and children. Videos show Black people being pushed off trains and Black drivers being reprimanded and stalled by Ukrainians as they try to flee. There are even reports of animals being allowed on trains before Africans.

Dead White Mans Clothes An Environmental Disaster / And what some deem as a Blessing from God ???

My Vent 😡

One thing that stands out and is even sadder in this report is those who are making the most money from the sale of used clothing coming into this part of Africa seem to show very little concern if any for the environment.
They also seem oblivious to the fact that used clothing can be a transporter of some dangerous if not deadly diseases.
Add to this the fact that this business is yet another contributor to the total loss of their cultures in so many ways.
This is especially true for those who embrace Christianity ... They actually think God is Blessing them because they are making money..... Once again religion and a white God has screwed up the mindset of a people. 

Now in their Christian beliefs, they ignore the damage and the pollution of their precious natural rivers, streams, flora, and fauna.
This environmental disaster if left unchecked and unregulated can very well destroy all that is truly important for the life of their people.
To add insult to injury what this is doing to their cultures, their homelands is genocide of the land. They are abusing earth's mother and in so doing are destroying themselves... If their lands become unlivable how will they survive ???
Mother earth can not give life much longer in this land if this practice of using the country of Ghana as a dumping ground for the textile waste that is produced from Europe continues.
For sure it is also not a Blessing for anyone.

The dark side of the world’s fashion addiction is more of a Nitemare. 

Again the fire of greed, ignorance, religion, and stupidity is raging.
Man-made destruction can cloud the mind.

I will keep to the medicine of my people. 

Think native, walk-in balance mi gente, and never forget the first instructions. 

There are insane minds all around us, and we will live to see how they self-destruct.

Over and Out Ina :)

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+👇

The following is a very short excerpt from the article accompanying the video on the
YouTube Australian Chanel. Click on the video to see and read the entire report. 

The dumped textiles also get swept up in the monsoonal rains and end up choking the city’s

waterways and beaches, posing a danger to fishermen and aquatic life. Liz Ricketts, who runs

an NGO campaigning for awareness of Ghana's textile waste crisis, lays the blame at the feet

of international fashion houses.

While 60 percent of imported fashion items are reused and resold, 40 percent are rubbish,

creating an environmental catastrophe for this poor nation.

The debacle that is Afghanistan

Now I am not opposed to President Biden's removal of US troops from Afghanistan, but for sure he was not well advised. His hands were tied due to an agreement the nut case Trump made with the Taliban in February 2020 to remove US troops within 14 months. (See article https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-blames-biden-for-afghanistan-withdrawal-but-trump-brokered-the-deal-2021-8) This agreement made without the Afgani government freed 5,000 prisoners held in US military bases in that country. Was this done with the hope that the Afgani government being created would have a chance to stabilize their country? That was a huge mistake.

Now what about the US Defense Secretary— is he a joke? .Imagine if we were attacked by crazy, insane, religious, and/or other radicals with this Secretary in office. Why could he not come up with a good plan to get American civilians and others out of Afghanistan? He has impressive credentials. Lloyd J. Austin III is the 28th Secretary of Defense, sworn in on Jan. 22, 2021. A graduate of West Point, Austin served 41 years in uniform, retiring as a four-star Army general after three years as commander of U.S. Central Command. So why was this scenario so botched???

Also after 20 years of training, the so-called Afghan Army collapsed in less than a week and lost their country. Looks like the training did not go well, or the training was really bad. Twenty years of training is a long time.

So many innocent lives have been lost —thanks to cowboy actor Reagan, Papa Bush, Baby Bush and Obama. As for Biden, well clearly he is having a hard time handling the problem. Who is advising Biden?—the Roadrunner, a guru from India, Joel Olstein ??? Who ???

As for the Taliban, they are religious maniacs who will in the future try to destroy all of the countries in that area in the name of Islam. As well as they will instill and put into action terror wherever and whenever they get a chance to do it.

So watch out world.

Now President Biden is stuttering trying to feed the public more bull.

The fact is Afghanistan se jodio (Got fu---)!!. For sure we will see even more war refugees around the world running behind military transport planes on airport runways.

Does this not really remind you of Viet Nam, another corner of the world with an insane war scenario that ruined the lives of many in the US and Viet Nam with death, dying, suffering, and movie scripts glorifying it.

WAR, GREED, THE QUEST FOR POWER, THE SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN, AND RELIGIOUS TERRORISM NEVER NEVER ACHIEVES PEACE FOR ANYONE ANYWHERE.

WATCH OUT GOOD PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BECAUSE THE TALIBAN IS YET ANOTHER DANGEROUS DESTRUCTIVE NIGHTMARE. 

IT IS ONE AMONG ALL THE OTHERS MADE BY INSANE HUMAN MINDS ALREADY BEING IMPOSED ON ALL THAT IS LEFT OF GOODNESS, PEACE, AND LIFE ON THIS PLANET!!

Check out the interview with Biden on ABC. After watching it, I started wondering about all this and where are all those Afghans going to live who now have no homeland???

I then woke up my handsome son, my firstborn, with a call and reminded him how much I love him. I then decided to play a word game on my phone to distract myself from the smoke of the fires of man-made destruction that can cloud the mind.

I will keep to the medicine of my people. Think native, walk in balance mi gente, and never forget the first instructions. 

There are insane minds all around us, and we will live to see how they self-destruct.
