Discrimination and Racism IS A PROBLEM
He (President Donald Trump) is a problem for black people. It is bad when overt racism is given any cover or given any credibility. That is always bad for us. I know people who say they would rather have than an overt racist than a covert racist because you know where they’re coming from, but I don’t agree with that. I think it’s always dangerous when they feel safe. Because then they’re emboldened. That’s why you had Charlottesville last year.
So that’s very dangerous to us. But having said that, all the Democrats offer is “we’re not like that.” It’s like, we’re just not overtly racist crackers, and I’m like, that’s it? That’s all you have to stand on?- MARGARET KIMBERLY, Editor- The Black Agenda Report. -source
The reality is that Bill Clinton was the last President to begin a national dialogue on racism. Now the problem which had been festering under disregarding eyes has risen to become an immense roadblock for many Americans. With Donald Trump unapologetic in his white supremacist approach and the judiciary shying away from asserting human rights, Racism is here to stay- And all the common people are responsible for this mess. So we- the common citizens of the world need to say NO to racism.

Czerwony salut! Struggle towards the end for an ideal we can all proactice towards and judgement of the character of the person over the skins of their character! And let's find courage in our hopeless times.
People can devolve to fear as they see how hopeless their situation is. But let us never forget this: the courage of hopelessness that people often overlook. Yes, we are royally screwed, yes we aren't a significant force for change and yes we will be sent to Hell, but I say this is our lowest point and we got nowhere lower to go than this. For we know we will burning in Hell, but what better place than that? Courage for us today isn't just a denial of the neoliberal claim that our reality is and was always eternal, but it is also the radical acceptance of fighting against these giants that has been crushing our radical movements - even if it means death for us.
But my insincere question is this: what is the point to live in a World dominated by them if you still call yourself a Revolutionary today? Even beyond that naïve question: why live in and why not to fight against a World that cares not for you and shall never care for you? For we must know what we must face before we can fight it, but I say that wasn't our problem for we all are in an agreement of what it is. The actual problem is that of our perception - especially the ones that dares to call themselves Revolutionary. For that troubled perception blinds us to what we can really do, and fear derived from hopelessness is definitely a problem.
For we cannot hope to win - for that'll never get us anywhere if we just think gracefully without acting upon it - to actually win our damned war. We must be courageous to struggle a war that we cannot possibly win to even indulge in the thought of killing this beast and winning the actual war. As the French revolutionary mass knew they could've landed in the Bastille or worse if their revolution was halted by the national army. Or the BPP against the COINTELPRO and USA Gov't in the times of and after the '68 Rev, knowing full well the steam for change ended but the problems were still unresolved. Or even now where the environment hath gone to shit, the farce of yesterday's tragedy keeps repeating itself without stop and we still face the problems, though in a different form, that the '68 and BPP faced. They all knew how hopeless their situation was, yet they had the courage that was derived from their hopelessness to strike against their enemies and press onwards to a World better than the one they currently lived in. For the only thing we have to lose is our chains! Agitate! Educate! Organize!
Great post!
Thanks for tasting the eden!
