Racist America Its Psychological Backfire
As I dive deeper into my analysis of the racial disparities that plague American soil, I see more evidence of the hated rhetoric as a falsified psychological reality of what life is in America and other diplomatic driving countries. This sense of reality is congruent to the modernized process of what makes the world habitable by the progressive measures utilized thru trade and government affairs, ideally for life sufficiency and the technical evolution necessary to meet the need for agricultural cultivation. Ironically, in general, agrarian practices also suffered from historical racial calamity driven by rendezvous moments that promoted vicious acts of greed and unlawful ownership. Almost everyone defines racism as an irrational projection of hatred towards another due to their ethnicity. In all actuality, racism is a classified approach to a way of life, not the standard definition, which is to hate. Racism expands through the determination of facts and rational methods. This notation of controlled perception dictates a person's general sensibility of rationalism. Racism is the conscious and sub-conscious variable set by how we conduct ourselves as appropriate. The stipulations set by society determine the rulings we must customize ourselves to, a mandatory one-way process we take to reach our career goals. We validate acceptance and personal influences we wish to share with the world stigmatized by derogatory, biased racial appropriateness.

Martin Luther king Jr didn’t help the black community. If anything , he destroyed it.
As children we are taught to be kind and respectful to everybody. We learn these lessons as a basis for our everyday lives and meant to carry them into adulthood and even pass these lessons down to our Own children. However as a child we also learn how to deal with conflict and learn very early on that as nice as we are to people sometimes people just won’t like you and there’s not enough kindness in the world to kill an idea that someone has about You. When these situations happen our parents hug us and tell us that everyone’s not going to like you and sometimes there won’t be a reason but not to worry about it and that the best thing to do is focus on the people who do. And that’s basically how school works , hanging out with the people who enjoy having you around and avoiding the ones who don’t . I mean how ridiculous would it be for someone to walk up to their bully and beg them to be their friend and then add fuel to the fire by begging the bully to sell some weed to them , especially when there are other people who are more than willing to do so but you for some reason really want the bully’s weed as if no one else’s is worthy. That ridiculous example is exactly what Martin Luther king did and it’s how he destroyed the black community. Once upon a time African Americans had no choice but to support black businesses because white people wouldn't sell their products to us. The push for integration instead of actual equality snatched billions of dollars from the African American community. White people had a field day when they realized they could still bully us and take our money . Now we are in 2020 trying to force companies to recognize the billions African Americans contribute to their businesses when we could have black conglomerates had martin Luther king pushed Supporting black businesses and equality for black schools and neighborhoods rather than intergration. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but intergration did not work and honestly it will probably never work . This country was built on hate and oppression and so it surprises me when people are actually surprised by the hate and oppression that exist in this country. Intergration has allowed African Americans the opportunity as a whole to make white people richer while still suffering the effects of a society rooted in racism. In my opinion we should start pushing for actual change because a few black lives matter shows on Netflix and some Colin kaepernick sneakers from Nike is not enough . We need to destroy the very foundation of the country and start from scratch. We need to rewrite the constitution and reconstruct the justice system to truly represent and protect all citizens. Until that happens then these businesses aren’t doing anything but slapping a band aid on institutional racism and Martin Luther king jr helped them do it .

HUMAN RELATIONS BOTTLE-NECKS
HRC In Atlanta [1975] The middle aged woman struggled to stay on her feet. She jerked and staggered between two larger women. They ushered her away from the auditorium with polite civility. Yet, these two women could not keep the twisting lady, though firmly in their grasp, from vocally shouting. The uncooperative captive ranted.

Countdown: COVID & The Election At 60 Days Out
Is there a particular way you imagined that you would feel leading up to the days where everything will change? It’s hard to imagine things changing more than they already have - we are entering the sixth month of quarantine brought on by an unprecedented global pandemic that has ravaged the United States, I can’t remember the last time I hugged someone, I truly miss lounging at a bar and hate-listening to conversations around me, and I look forward to doctor’s appointments and blood draws for human contact. Shit is weird. Shit has changed so laughably drastically that none of us would have been able to comprehend it this time last year.

Get Out
I’ve been processing and coming to terms with several different things lately. One of them is the realization that I have (unknowingly) been in the presence of people who did not like me because of the colour of my skin; or worst, people who didn’t like Black people in general but made an “exception” for me. Now at first glance depending on who is reading this, that may not sound like that big of a deal or revelation. Most Black people know at any given time that if they are in a room full of people who do not predominantly look like them no matter the ethnicity, there is going to be a strong likelihood that there will be a significant amount of said people who do not like them. These are microaggressions that Black people experience literally every day and as a whole, we’ve developed a pretty thick skin in dealing with it.

Why The Court Ruled The Way It Did In the Dreadlock Hair Case
ZV, a minor and her parents wear dreadlocks. They do so outside of any adherence to religion. Her school has an unwritten policy of ‘no braids, no beads, no locking of hair’. Placement at the school is dependent on adherence to this policy. Reason: parents do not wash their dreadlocked children’s hair, “in a timely manner, and the hair gets junjo” (mildew) and has created serious lice infestation issues in the past prompting administrative intervention.

Is the divisive culture in the US arming our adversaries?
Dear Fellow Americans, As I sit here in my apartment room across from the beautiful and sunny campus of Coastal Carolina, and I sit and began to think, what has led a country founded on the idea of unity, peace, strength can be so divided and broken. I also sit and think about how this looks to the rest of the world. How does someone in the United Kingdom see this? How does someone living in the Russian Federation see this? How does someone in Hong Kong see this?

New Rochelle’s Nick Trotta Comes Home to Honor After Distinguished Career as Secret Service Agent
Photo by Radek Kucharski The mystique of being a Secret Service Agent can almost be encapsulated in the dark glare of the signature sunglasses. On the other hand, the optics definitely serve a function beyond just looking cool, according to 30 year Secret Service Agent Nick Trotta. “The one thing I don’t think you want us to do is to come up to that rope line with the President and squint,” he says. But while his recent honoring at St. Joseph’s Church in New Rochelle wasn’t a matter of trying to spot dry eyes among an abundance of tears, the affair certainly hit home for the New Rochelle native and recently retired Assistant Director of the service.

Continued Riots Will Destroy the Black Lives Matter Movement (and Democrats' Chances)
What is necessarily true when someone says a thing is "mostly peaceful?" That it is somewhat violent. Mass destruction in a civil society should never be tolerated, and Democratic politicians' overwhelming silence on the violence witnessed in recent months is complicity.
