So. I'm Black. Or am I African-American? Am I half Black / half African-American? I'll have to ponder on that one.
I like Donald Trump.
Conservatives: "YAY!"
Liberals: "Rabble Rabble!!!" "Why? How?"
Some Blacks: "MAGA!"
Other Blacks: "Rabble Rabble!!!" "Why? How?"
Usually, I try explaining myself, which admittedly usually isn't short-winded (and pours gasoline on the triggered-new-age-liberal's burning attention span). I can say I am genuinely interested in bridging the divide. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the fringe-elements of either side.
And that's the problem; there are sides. The world doesn't HAVE sides...it's ROUND! But I digress.
Was the United States stolen from Indians? Yes.
What's an Indian? Hell if I know.
Can you steal the sky from a bird? Maybe. But it'd take one hell of an effort.
Do people need help? Absolutely.
Do people skirt the system? Absolutely.
Do I like systems? No.
Are humans perfect? No.
The point I'm making is this, our tribal nature has been turned against us by foxes that have unmasked themselves and raided the hen house. We live in an inverted reality where up is down, left is right, in is out, black is white, and day is night.
What if I told you real, flower-child, free-love liberals, ran with Dr. King?
What if I told you Dr. King was a conservative?
What if I told you Democrats fought the abolition of slavery?
What if I told you blood-letting (George Washington) was a satanic ritual?
What if I told you Planned Parenthood's founder idolized Adolf Hitler?
What if I told you "Conspiracy Theorist" was created by those JFK wanted to "scatter into the wind"?
Who teaches you what you know? Why did you consent?
I learned a priceless lesson this week. To condemn those different from me, is to sever the ties of communication, compromise, understanding, and resolution.
Question everything you know.
