Black Lives Matter, and the Black Policeman Who Filed A Lawsuit Against Obama and Clinton

    Since the last post I've been thinking about what to post next. Sorry I haven't been updating like I should, it's just that it's become so hard to hear/read about the latest killings, and not run out and join the nearest Black Lives Matter chapter.  I usually describe myself as an activist... some family members consider me 'revolutionary' and 'rebellious'. (I'm sure if I told them that I'd ever considered joining BLM that would cement their belief about me.) If being sick and tired, not only of black men and women being killed like it's a game, but of the feelings of  helplessness  and despair; if wanting to do something to stop it makes me 'rebellious', then  I'm just going to have to accept that title and wear it with PRIDE!  I don't want to just sit around and commiserate with others about how sad it all is, and then go back to life as usual as if nothing's happened!! It really makes me sick to my stomach to see so many brothers and sisters  just brush it off as if it has nothing to do with them!  No one is going to come along and fight this battle for you ladies and gentlemen, if we don't fight for ourselves and each other, like our ancestors did during the slavery era,  and during the Civil Rights era, then our race is going to be wiped out, either by assimilation or assassination!! It's great to see whites being a part of BLM protests, as they have been over recent shootings, but they're not the ones that NEED to be doing the fighting! At the end of the day, they're going back to suburbia with their big homes  and fancy cars, while we catch the Metro home to our row-houses and apartments. We're the ones who will be left when the police start knocking on the doors in the wee hours of the morning talking about "We have a description of someone...", or "We got an anonymous tip...".  The white folks (and not by their own doing) will all be home chillin'...

white BLM UK protesters

     Read the full story here  about the BLM-UK protesters in London.  It's not the protesters' fault that they were allowed to go free with only what would be, in our country, suspended sentences. It just shows that the attitudes there are very similar to the ones here. What would have happened to nine black people who shut down the airport and made them cancel 160 flights??

     It can be really difficult to want to keep fighting when there are so many people of color who are either apathetic about the situation (since it doesn't affect them) or who completely disagree with BLM and insist that the charge of racism is false, and that the police are only 'doing their jobs' when they shoot unarmed black men  whose vehicle has broken down in the street.   (Read the story of Terence Crutcher here. WARNING: The videos are graphic and disturbing.)

     The absolute worst of these black people (IMO) are the ones who are cops themselves. How do they deal  with having other black people die all around them, knowing that a lot of them are not  justified shootings, and then having to watch the shooter just walk away? I'll show you how one deals with it...

Dallas Police Sgt. Demetrick Pennie Accuses Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama

               of Inciting Race War and Files Lawsuit!!!

Yes folks, you read it here. A black police sergeant in Dallas has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against BLM and against the President of the United States. What do you want to bet he's a Republican? I mean hey, it was Fox News that reported this!

 Here's a little blurb from the story(You can read  it all here.):  

     Demetrick Pennie, a 17-year veteran and the president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, filed the complaint in federal court Friday, naming Black Lives Matter and public figures such as the Rev. Al Sharpton, the New Black Panther Party, and even President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as defendants.

     Yes, President Obama, the first black president, and Hilary Clinton, wife of the white president who was considered an 'honorary black man'(Read Toni Morrison's description in The New Yorker magazine of 1998;  it's the 9th paragraph at this link.) are in cahoots to incite their supporters to violence against the police.  Any violence perpetuated against the police of course has nothing to do with the blacks being killed by them, it's all Obama and Clinton's fault.

     I've seen a lot of trivial lawsuits in my time, but to ask for $500 million to $1.5 billion  because the president and the presidential nominee have incited the public to violence? I'm not only smh"ing, I'm lol'ing as well!! If a black man ever wanted to make himself  look ridiculous and like a pawn of the white man, this guy has done it (excuse the pun, it wasn't intended) IN SPADES! 

     I wish I could go to sleep, and wake up in the morning only to find that all of this has been a bad dream; the deaths of all those people in suspicious circumstances at the hands of the police, as well as the shooting deaths of the police in Dallas; all the protests and the marches, even the campaign of Donald Trump for president (now that is someone who has incited some violence!), I just wish it would all go away.  One thing at least that we can do, is keep this country from getting any worse; don't let Donald Trump in the White House. Make sure you get out and vote! Personally, I don't care if you write in Mickey Mouse when you go to the polls, just VOTE. Can you imagine what the police departments will be like under a Trump/Republican regime???

So This Is Their Next Weapon Against Obama??

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash.

     GOP Taps Its Top Woman, Mom of Three, for Obama Rebuttal  

 By Carrie Dann, Political Reporter, NBC News

After hearing from the leader of the free world at Tuesday’s State of the Union address, Americans will hear a rebuttal from a woman unfamiliar to many of them.
Most of the national television audience hasn’t heard of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the highest-ranking Republican woman in Washington, D.C. and the standard-bearer tasked with delivering the GOP response to President Barack Obama’s address. But Republicans hope that she’ll make an impression with her unapologetically conservative message, her journey from humble origins to the U.S. Capitol, and her family-friendly biography as a busy mother of three young children.
   (To read the article in its entirety, click here. )

     One of the things I truly never liked about the Republican party, other than their total lack of human compassion for anyone other than themselves, is the way they have of believing that money, power, and position make them smarter than everyone else. They think that they can run roughshod over anyone in the country they choose, and they will not only make them accept it but eventually come to think it's a good move!! They think they can take away all the things that to many people are their lifeline, but to them are 'crutches' (Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.) and we are supposed to think it's a great idea. They think they can force women to bear children conceived in rape because 'if it really was rape her body would take care of it' (sound familiar?). Don't forget one of the most recent, they wanted to hold the country hostage until all the poor people who cannot afford health insurance had their one hope of getting it snatched away! There are so many things they have done that I am not even going to try listing them, it would take me two days to get this blog out and then no one would read it because A. It would be too long; and B. It would be too repetitious. I think we're all familiar with their antics. 
     Now, they seem to be under the impression that in order to make women swing to their side of the fence, all they have to do is bring in a woman that most of us have never heard of to respond to President Obama's speech. Oh yes, that's all it will take to make me jump right over into their camp, bring a woman who is "the highest ranking Republican woman in Washington, D.C.", a woman whose income is enough to raise a special needs child and two others comfortably and still work everyday, a woman who obviously doesn't have to worry about affording daycare, a woman who had the choice to do what she wanted with her own body but doesn't want anyone else to have it; listening to this woman is going to make me have an epiphany and suddenly become Republican?? How can the male-dominated society that is the GOP be so stupid? How can they really think that women are going to wholeheartedly jump en masse on the bandwagon behind this woman? How can I relate to her? The answer is, Mr. Republican know-it-all, I can't. You deciding to have this woman do the rebuttal means absolutely nothing to me, other than confirm to me once again, just how out of touch your whole party is with what is really going on in this country. Go back to the drawing room with your cigars boys, and take your "highest ranking Republican woman" with you.
