Anita HILL: "IF only", she were "BELIEVED" (in 1991)??

No "Justice" Clarence Thomas; NO Dubya?

NO Dubya: NO Iraq War? NO Financial Collapse?

NO IRAQ war: NO ISIS/ISIL? NO "Syria"? NO Migrant Crisis in Europe?

NO TRUMP/CRUZ Tragedy Looming?

NO "Hillary" first-woman OPPORTUNITY?

No "Justice" Thomas: No "Money is Speech"? No "Mute" support for Scalia?

No "gutting" of Voting Rights? No Alito!! (Scalia would not have succeeded in driving Justice O'Connor from the Court)? No "collaboration" for the Tea Party (Ms. Thomas)?

I shared the dread expressed by Justice Marshall, in 1991, when he spoke of the dangers ahead, should the "black snake" be placed on our Supreme Court. Thomas, and his appointment to our Supreme Court by Daddy Bush, succeeded in stopping all progress toward Civil Rights and Human Rights for marginalized citizens of Color, in the United States. The Racist Senators, like Hatch and Thurmond, were amply-served by the Timid Senators; who were quite comfortable with the "Old (white) Boys Club the Senate was operating in 1991. Senator Danforth and Daddy Bush "put a cork" in American Social-Economic Progress!

Anita Hill was a "gift" offered to our Nation, that time has proved would have been far more valuable than Rosa Parks, and all she achieved! Our Senate threw that "gift" away. Who Benefited? (mostly White) Women in our Nation's work-force!!

By exposing the expertly-hidden cancer of on-the-job sexual harassment; Anita Hill almost certainly did more, singlehandedly, for the Women's Movement, than anything else that comes to mind. I'm sure that our female population, below the age of 25 (all colors) does NOT recognize this!!

Stay Vigilant! Last night's HBO Special (4/16/16), shows clearly the maniacal dedication of our Racist Right, the persistent pain the Bushes have inflicted upon us all, AND the clay feet of Liberals!

The use and abuse of Anita Hill by the Feminist Movement was nothing short of Criminal! Treat YOUR Vote for President, like the Lethal Weapon it can turn out to be!!

should BLACKS "re-focus" on "WEST-INDIES"??

A Puerto-Rican Leads the Way??

A Puerto-Rican, exploiting Black RAP, from the Mainland USA, has achieved quite a feat! He got tacit admission from the White Establishment, that Alexander Hamilton was BLACK; according to the standards of that time!! An infectiously exciting and informative Play on Broadway: "Kudos" for HAMILTON! http://variety.com/2016/legit/news/hamilton-actors-profit-sharing-deal-1201755004/

Hamilton, a Founding "Father", and, first Secretary of the Treasury, came to us from the WEST-Indies.

We all learned in White History, as taught in our Public School System, about the Dutch and British EAST India Trading Companies. Mentioned, only in passing, were the corresponding WEST India Trading efforts. Turning to Wikipedia for a "refresher", we learn that the French, British, Danish, Spanish, AND Dutch (Netherlands, today), formed the WEST Indies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Indies

The Greater Antilles (Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos); and Lesser Antilles ( the smaller Islands, from the Virgin Islands, down to Trinidad). The region also includes Venezuela, Columbia, Panama, what is now Central America, Can-Cun, and Cayman Islands -- ALL of the PRETTY PLACES!

WHY should BLACKS be interested? Because, shortly after Columbus landed there, the Catholics inspired the establishment of the African Slave Trade. As Herskovits clearly documents in his 1941 book: The Myth of the NEGRO Past; The TRADE failed to erase AFRICAN roots of New World Cultures. The multiple forms of Genocide practiced in what is now the United States, from 1619 until 2016, failed to turn Blacks in the USA into what Drucker called "White Americans with dark skins"! The Republican Party makes that fact evident in their choices for President in 2016.
As the entire world enters into Global Identity Crises; Persons with African Roots, traceable back to the WEST INDIES, may find this region a treasure trove of customs, beliefs, and wisdom; as well as enlightenment, regarding the ways Whites brought about the tragedies "we" (all races) suffer from in 2016!
Stay Vigilant! The Herskovits work, was part of the larger Gunnar Myrdal project commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation, and announced in its Annual Report of 1938. All Blacks should read it!

"Contempt" (of) CONGRESS? OR (for) CONGRESS??

Check Gallup:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/183128/five-months-gop-congress-approval-remains-low.aspx

Want to live a life ABOVE THE LAW?? Run for Congress! Want to use LAW to punish people you don't like, or want to SCREW, for some reason? Run for Congress! Want to destroy our Democracy (from within)?? Run for Congress! Want to get RICH and Powerful, while fully lacking any virtue or real talent? Run for Congress!

As every child knows: when everybody's guilty, NOBODY is guilty!! Therein lies the dirty little secret of Congress. The People believe that the People are represented by Congress; so, whatever they do, we ALL, somehow, are responsible!

Since 1970, Congress, through committee action, and the power of Committee Chairpersons, has steadily undermined the Executive and Judicial Branches of our Government; producing the horrible mess we have on our hands in 2016. We waste too much time blaming Wall Street, or Silicon Valley, or the Health Industry, or Doctors, Lawyers, (I guess Indian Chiefs are next?)!!

Sometimes single individuals distinguish themselves as the lowest of the low, within Congress. Since McCarthy, this phenomenon has only grown. Orrin Hatch (Judiciary) doesn't fare so well in an up-coming HBO documentary http://www.sltrib.com/home/3769858-155/scott-d-pierce-orrin-hatch-is

Want to change the way Globilization impacts on your Job and your Life? Change Congress by getting rid of those Law-Makers who made it possible! Hate the Do-Nothing "theft" that is taking place as these folk, highly-paid (by the People, AND by the Lobbyists), SCREW the entire Country?? Vote them ALL out of office! Tom Delay and Dennis Hastert have made it very difficult; but NOT impossible to do!

Stay Vigilant! In their never-ending game of Old Maid, Republicans now are pushing Ted Cruz as their "Hail Mary" missile. Look into the details that show how Terrible Teddy made it into our Senate. Pay careful attention to his activities to undermine Speaker Boehner in the House of Representatives. Why would ANYONE want him to become President of the United States, if they love and respect this Country!! Don't say you haven't been WARNED!!

how "Slavery" AND "Genocide" (produced) HISPANICS; in the Americas!!

HISTORY "reveals" ITSELF??

White America, in the USA, in 2016, still insists on teaching "Dime-Store Novels" as HISTORY, to its children!! That version of U.S. History is backed up by poorly-written Hollywood and Television scripts, and "re-enactments". Our Military learned the hazards of doing this, from the fate of our POW's in Korea; but, nothing much changed; except for Military Training.

The 2016 Election, as pursued by our more Racist Republicans, is forcing to the surface the "Genocide" part of our History. How-so? By repeating the "Genocide Era" initiated under the Administration of President Andrew Jackson. From 1830 to 1870, when Jim Crow was invented to return our nation to a new form of Slavery, without chains, Genocide among Native Indian Tribes flourished in the United States. From the time before the arrival of Catholic Clergy, Genocide flourished throughout Spanish Territories in the Americas; both, among African Slaves AND Native Indian Tribes.

Sam Houston, an ass-hole buddy of Jackson, claimed that the "Hispanic" was created by a blend of Poor European Clergy, and Poor European "Overseers", with Slave and Native women. Many survivors of this HISTORY, in my Generation, were taught these facts as children! Only white kids, then, were "mind-f*cked" with the Dime-Store and Hollywood versions of that period in our History.

TEXAS, to this day, tells the Alamo Story, without surfacing the "Tejano" Role in that Event. Live on Lies long enough, and they engulf everything you care about?? There is a line that connects Conquistadors, the Inquisition in the Americas, the Spanish Military, Cracker "Overseers of Slaves" and killer Cops on Police Forces and inside Sheriff Offices throughout the United States, today!! Ignore real HISTORY, and face disastrous duplication??

Stay Vigilant! Will American Citizens, once again, retreat into the Past, rather than embrace a FUTURE that genuinely offers Freedom with Dignity, for EVERYONE??

R "WE" a Nation?, a TRIBE?, a "Community"??; or, "None of the ABOVE"??? ...

... OR: "ALL" of the ABOVE"??

If you listen to the verbiage emanating from the carnage on the RIGHT, or, from the "more civilized" spatting on the LEFT; you will hear the word "WE"; as much, or more than any other.

We're all left to deduce, on our own, (with the not-so-subtle shoving from the likes of Scarborough, little "Chuckie" Todd, or, Anderson Cooper); just who in Hell are 'WE"?? TRUMP and CRUZ make it easier for us. We simply compare ourselves to the Cro-Mangnon's they have on display at their Rallies. We see a great deal of inferences to RACE, Class, COLOR, Education, Intelligence, and Gender; but not a lot about PLACE! That indicates that COMMUNITY is an empty word; whenever its used. Community almost always implies some kind of Geography! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon

No matter what patch of Geography you, and those you care about, occupy; all HELL is breaking loose around you, as the Global Economy continues to do what it has been doing since the Multinational Corporations were invented by our Congress (1973). Later, (1989), the collapse of the old Soviet Union accelerated the collapse of Governments around the World. Long-buried animosities surfaced to new Strongman "wannabee's". The Politicians who serve their bidding, all resort to FEAR and suspicion of some "Other".

Triangulators were best at this, whether in Elected Office, or serving within Agencies or Institutions. The best Politicians in my lifetime to fit this designation, for good or for ill, have been figures like Churchill, FDR, LBJ, and Bill Clinton. Then, there are the outright Dictators, who lack the skill or patience to work their prey into a posture of participation in their own downfall!

Then there are people, like American Blacks, and the Catholic Faithful, who have been groomed for hundreds of years to participate in their own Degradation. Regardless of your view of yourself as a Predator, or as Prey; you are being seduced by Media, and skillful Politicians to envision yourself within one or more of the proclamations of "We" ; as it tumbles from the lips of TRUMP, or CRUZ! Both of these Demagogues are relying on the Mirror, and the TV Camera to fill in Color, or other Cultural ingredients!

Stay Vigilant! The COMMUNITY word may be the most important, even if it is also the most vague. When you hear the word, ask yourself, WHERE is the "Community"? Can I visit it?? Are the people there really of the same Mind-Set? Pray to GOD there is NO Such Place, like those referred to by the likes of TRUMP or CRUZ. If you elect either, I'm sure they would be very happy to CREATE such places. (Electronic, or Social, "Communities" are most likely Potemkin Villages??)

R "we" LOCKED IN "Civil War"; and ...

...too Brain-Dead to NOTICE??

What can be said for a Nation that bans from utterance, the one, four-letter English Word, that best describes what is happening to its BRAINS??

Misery (Missouri) chooses TRUMP; by a "hair"! (surprise, surprise!) Misery barely, as it did 150 years ago, chooses the old North (TRUMP); over, the new SOUTH (TEXAS, aka CRUZ)! TRUMP offers a kinder/gentler Putin (or, Netanyahu); while CRUZ offers us our very own TALIBAN.

Ever since the day, in 1962, when the Air Force landed me in WACO; I've been aware of the power that STATE holds over the USA. I didn't understand, before then, what Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson wanted us to learn from their film: GIANT! It only took me 4 months to get the HELL out of that HELL, for a much better assignment! I learned, in my first year in the Air Force, how to become a damned good "jail-house lawyer"! It stood me in good stead throughout my 20-year military career.

TEXAS, the Lone-Star State, is on the precipice of becoming the Lone-Star Nation! It never did accept its "place" among those other 49 Stars (the White-folk, in Texas, that is)! From the School Books Texas controlled for our Nation, to the Depository, from which President Kennedy encountered his Murderer, the darker, and whitest, element in the Lone-Star State remained steadfast in its desire to rule the Nation.

2003 found me, once again, resident in Texas! Dennis Hastert was on the throne as Speaker of the House, and Cheney was busy running the Administration for "W". Texas, lacking the brain-power it needed to build the high-tech Empire they dreamed of, starting with Texas Instruments, had spent years buying brains from California. Under Cheney/Bush, Texas, with the help of Enron and Cheney, was caught extorting funds from California, through its "management" of access to the Power it needed to keep things running. We were kept guessing (like Speaker Ryan?) as to whether "W" would invade Iraq. In February of that year, I stepped out my back door, and, looking up, could see fiery streaks of debris on their way to locations near Bush's Ranch. It was a disaster much worse than 51-L in 1986, when we lost the Nation's School Teacher, but, somehow, the Nation didn't care as much! (Never understood why) ...

In that same year, with the assistance of Cheney/Bush, and overseen by Hastert; Tom Delay was busily chasing Texas Democrats out of their Power in the Texas Legislature, and hunting them down, from their hiding places in Oklahoma! What resulted was the beginning of the Frankenstein Gerrymandering that has made America Safe tor Republican Shenanigans.

Stay Vigilant! Get the Picture?? Who really controls YOUR State? Considering the intellectual level, and the economic resources of the typical Delegate for the up-coming Republican Convention; I suspect TEXAS is feeling pretty confident right now. How about you??

"SUPER-PREDATORS": "Black", or, "White"??

Dylaan takes the "prize"???

"Bubba" Clinton, in his argument with "Black Lives", points to the crux of what ails our Planet: "disintegration" -- on every level, in every culture, among rich and poor! As things fall apart, violence rises to fill-in for the massive sense of loss that results. Robin Wright, in 1982, pointed to the fact that people were retreating to the "Pillars" of their cultures as their faith in the collapsing Order was shaken. She made this observation, when Sharon, the Israeli General, was destroying Lebanon as he pursued the Palestinians, and Arafat. The trend has accelerated, and become Global, since. Europe hangs in the balance, in 2016! The World may never again experience the social or economic stability it knew in the middle of the last Century.

"Bubba" referred to Black Youth in the Hell Holes, designed for them by White Legislators, and White "Policy-Wonks"! They were called "Super-Predators". The "real" Super-Predators are those peiple who design, police, and maintain these death traps into which black and brown babies are born. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/clinton-super-predators-sanders_us_570a67a2e4b0836057a17d1e

For those Blacks, of the Southern and Conservative Mind-Set, who think white women will be somehow "different or better" than white males on this issue; I strongly suggest they re-visit the film: The HELP. No white woman stood openly to defend the ill-treated black maids, or stood against the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission that was obliquely referenced. That was the normal state of affairs in th 1950s, Any Progress since then, is being reversed, today. Whites in South Carolina have produced their own Super-Predator!!

Stay Vigilant! I defy anyone who suggests that Whites don't have a fundamental, asymmetric,view of Racial Integration! Blacks see "Acceptance", while Whites see "Divide and Conquer". The Election of President in 2016 will not change that fact. What it can do is keeping an already dangerous threat from growing worse under TRUMP, or CRUZ! They model themselves on Super-Predators like the Conquistadors, or the Catholic Leaders who set loose the Transatlantic Slave Trade!
