"Disgraceful!"

A very much needed and yet still understated bit of emphasis towards the end. And 99.99% of Republicans will deny, obfuscate and yada, yada and... yada!

No Such Thing As White Privilege!

Nope, Uh-uh, never was, never will be- NOT in this country... So let's bury this right here and now!

Any Black underage, teenager could walk down the street at night with a military style assault rifle (which he transported across state lines), have the crowd identify him as the shooter who shot two people- and the police would heartily thank him, give him water and let him merrily be on his way... And then later be praised as a national hero by Conservative pundits- happens all the time!

Any Black bar owner could assault a NYC cop with his SUV and be out in hours... w/o having to post bail (and without a scratch on him or having (him and) his windshield obliterated in a hail of bullets)- only to be praised on national Conservative TV. Happens - All - The - Time! 

And yet, and yet, you still have people to this very day who rant and rave about so called...
"White Privilege!"

 

So Tired Of Winning...

As I'm sure are you! We have a POTUS who says one thing in the AM, reverses in the PM, and then denies the whole damn thing before the day is done, reassuring us that The Sniffles will all disappear... "eventually." Meanwhile, it's every man and woman for themselves as we all scurry about attempting to do what's hopefully best or currently fashionable in whatever city, town or state we occupy- knowing that El Capitan has abandoned ship and has bigger beans to fry. So... sit back, and if you're lucky enough to still have a job and roof over your head, grab a beer and chill- cause with this piecemeal approach, we're in for the long haul... least till next Spring when we hopefully have a vaccine.

Addendum- 80,000 people died of influenza in the US in the winter of 2017/2018- the highest in 4 decades. As of the date above- 140,000 have died of Covid-19 in the US alone...

Irony of... Ironies.

I love all the Yahoos getting their 'I told you so' jollies at the expense of those shot in Chaz/Chop/Whatever... somehow it's meant to prove obvious police superiority. Yet, if one follows exactly what that irony reveals- it's that anarchistic mob rule yields results similar to an officially commissioned and highly funded, equipped and 'well trained' police force...
