Man oh man!!!! It has been a rough week and here it is only
Wednesday. I have a few things to put on blast…I’m usually completely done by
Tuesday so let’s just thank our Higher Power that it took an extra day…I guess
I’m practicing restraint and using discernment although you might not think so
after you read a bit.
First let me talk about Orlando…..I’m sick of hearing people
say “I don’t want to hear about it or think about it” because they are
overwhelmed by the media coverage. The media is spoon feeding you lies, bias
and hate in a very subtle manner. Please pay attention to what is being said
and how it’s being said.
The real tragedy of the situation is that they keep
reporting “gay” nightclub in order to discriminate. Well, I’ll have you know
that I have several very straight, very Christian, very hetero family members
who live in the area and who have been to the club and they all report that ALL
are welcomed in the club and it was just a place to have a good time. The music
wasn’t gay or straight. The drinks weren’t gay or straight. The welcome wasn’t
gay or straight….yet all we hear is gay nightclub because the shooter was
homophobic and self-loathing. Funny we
never hear the term racist cop unless it’s by the victims of brutality or a
victim’s family. We only hear terrorist when someone is Muslim or professes
Islam. We only hear immigration or Mexican when some Republican wants to
exclude a group but will court the hell out of Latinos/Hispanics in Texas and
Florida for a vote.
This country’s “isms” has no boundaries and it spread as
smooth as Nutella (whoops that’s brown ….should I use that analogy? Maybe I
should say snow….that’s white and only spreads in certain states)
That being said where in the hell is the conversation about
guns? Gun control? Mental Health care? Save all the bullshit rhetoric about the
Constitution and patriotism…..people are dying! Don’t even come for me on that “I
have a right bullshit” the Constitution was written for and by rich old White
men trying to figure out a way to remain rich old White men….It did not include
“Uncle Peckerwood and them boys” …look at your history son, your own history.
Most people did not get white privilege until they were outnumbered by some
type of minority….then and only then did the “passes” get extended.
It’s time to stop the madness and have some real dialogue
about the way we do and say things in this country…stop hiding behind God and
wrapping ourselves in the flag. We’re a sick society and it’s time for some
health and healing!
How ya livin’ ?
