"The reason the GOP does not condemn and refuses to do anything about the violence of January 6th, 2021 is because they are a big part of the problem, and not a part of the solution." - B-Ellis

When has anyone in Washington ever accepted accountability for their actions? Please allow me to put on my Christian ideological hat for a moment to respond to this and address the glaring religious hypocrisy that is deeply embedded in this issue.

Let's face it the largest portion of people involved in the January 6th insurrection were Evangelical Christians or at the very least individuals whose actions were fueled by Evangelical Christian ideologies.

This country was born also out of a rebellion. A rebellion against the Church. The Church of England but nonetheless the Church. Over the years phrases such as "God Bless America" and "In God we Trust" have become a prevailing part of American culture and identity and signals of patriotism.

As a former Christian of the Evangelical persuasion If I am not mistaken I distinctly recall being taught that the Bible defines rebellion as a sin that is comparable to witchcraft. So whatever "blessings" people claim God has bestowed on America are actually nothing but a ruse according to the Bible. Also If I am not mistaken it is my understanding that Yahweh/Jesus doesn't abide let alone "bless" acts of rebellion. So in fact it stands to reason that whatever "blessings" this country has acquired, has been by nefarious misappropriation and blatant theft.

To my knowledge there weren't any black people on the Mayflower, the Nina, or the Pinta, the ships that were said to have landed here.

If one follows the agricultural parables that Jesus taught, it specifically states that you can't get good fruit from a bad tree. So unless white Americans at some point repented of their original American sin of rebellion, virtually every single act from that point on can be considered nothing but bad fruit. And according to Jesus the whole thing should be cut down and burned.

So I am not sure where those on Jan 6th got the notion that they were doing something noble or righteous in the actions they took. If they actually read the Bible they would already know they were on the wrong side of the issues that ultimately brought them there.

Perhaps in the same spirit the people that fled England were not seeking religious freedom at all, but simply a place where they could do whatever the f**k they wanted without having to be held accountable and the fruit of those rebellious seeds are still producing that narrative today with what we see playing out in the highest levels of American government.

Perhaps this is also why the idea of "Grace", "Forgiveness of Sins" and "Absolution" are so appealing to them. Why would I bother to abstain from doing wrong things if I can just make it alright by asking Jesus to forgive me? Meanwhile the trail of generational damage left along the way continues to persevere.

Did you know that there are over 600,000 undocumented immigrants that have come to the United States from Europe and Canada? I wonder why no one ever pushed for restrictions on the Northern and Eastern borders.

Hmm... Could it beee.... SATAN?!

So I have been thinking about this trend where women are making these lists of places they will not go on a first date with a man. The idea being that they are raising the bar on their value.

I won't pretend that I am any kind of expert on women but I do understand a little about oppressed communities. Women have been under it for a LONG time and in many ways they still are.

In their struggle however it seems they have arrived at the place they have always been. It's not a battle of the s*xes, no. It's a battle between Men's access to p***y and Women's access to Money. If we are honest has it EVER been about love unless those two people made it about love?

By and large I think the advancements Women have made are positive I also think this particular move has the makings of the proverbial "shooting yourselves in the foot" as a potential out come.

I am one who does believe music has an impact on cultural mindsets and affects societal outcomes So I put together a list of songs that I think have contributed to the societal mindset that has allowed us to arrive where we are.

In light of all the music out there that diminishes the value of women I admit these songs pale in comparison but I still think it's worth noting how the contention builds over the decades.

So here we go...

Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt: (1953) This song is about a woman who wants Santa Claus to bring her expensive gifts like a yacht, a sable, and other luxurious items

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend by Marilyn Monroe (1953): This song is from the movie “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and is about a woman who believes that diamonds are more important than love.

Cause I'm a Woman by Peggy Lee (1963) its bold and liberated lyrics depicted a woman who could take care of herself, and her man, at the same time.

I'm every Woman by Chaka Khan (1973) Rerecorded and release by Whitney Houston (1993) Every note of “I'm Every Woman” exudes feminine force;

Material Girl by Madonna (1984): This song is about a woman who wants to be rich and famous and believes that money can buy her happiness. It was a huge hit in the 80s and is still popular today.

Ain't nothing going on but the rent. by Gwen Guthrie (1986) "No romance without finance… got to have a J.O.B if you wanna be with me." its A song about a woman seeking a partner who can financially provide, which at the time was seen by some as pretty gauche.

MAN! I feel like a Woman by Shania Twain (1997) a country pop song with lyrics about female empowerment and their right to dress s*xy, get wild and have fun flirting with men without the mandate of s*x.

No Scrubs by TLC (1999): This song is about women who don’t want to date men who don’t have money or ambition.

Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny’s Child: (1999) This song is about women who are tired of their partners not contributing financially to their relationships

Independent Women Part I by Destiny’s Child (2000): This song is about women who are financially independent and don’t need men to take care of them.

Run the World (Girls) by Beyonce (2011) The song's title and lyrics comprise an unapologetically aggressive message that promotes female empowerment.

Fancy by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX (2014): This song is about a woman who wants to be rich and famous and believes that money can buy her happiness.

Bitch Better Have My Money by Rihanna (2015): This song is about a woman who wants her money back from someone who owes her.

Money by Cardi B (2018): This song is about how Cardi B loves money and how she will do anything to get it.

7 Rings by Ariana Grande (2019): This song is about Ariana Grande buying expensive things for herself and her friends.

Church Girl by Beyonce (2022) Beyonce is celebrates the bodily autonomy of Black Women as a "God-given" right and that no one can say or do anything to take it away from them.

I am sure this is by no means an exhaustive list Maybe there are other you can think of leave a comment. Personally I think monogamy is going extinct and eventually we're all just gonna end up single What do you think are women pushing the envelope with this list of demands? Basically hold men financially hostage to high-end dating scenarios?

Let's talk about it

You may have seen this image floating around the internet.

I have many conversations/debates with people regarding my positions on religion and God beliefs and I encounter with all consistency individuals who even when presented with conclusive evidence that bible based claims are likely untrue their brains will not allow them to process that information as true, likely due to years of religious socialization, culture and or indoctrination.

The illusion this photo creates highlights a flaw in how our brains work - how we can't process an upside-down face because we are programmed to recognise faces a certain way.

We create a mental map by recognising the face in pieces - eyes, mouth, and nose.

So when we're presented with an upside-down, Thatcherised image such as this, it's not processed properly.

We know it's upside down, but because we so rarely encounter upside-down faces, we haven't evolved to interpret the expressions on them.

The facial features look fine, so our brains assume the rest of the face is as well.

That's why we don't see anything out of the ordinary until we turn the face the ‘right way’ up.

I think this flaw in the way our brains work is also responsible for the occurrence of cognitive dissonance in the presence of racism, classism, s*xism, ageism, homophobia, ect

As well as how we become desensitized to violence specifically gun violence against children.

Unfortunately some people are not going to be able to see America or the world as it truly is until the whole place is turned upside down.

So how is Elon Musk not a real life Lex Luthor when he owns and controls the satellites that provide us all with Internet service including the ones that allow Russian and Ukrainian forces respectively to communicate and can from his laptop arbitrarily cut off services in key areas of the region that could significantly determine outcomes of the conflict. And as a private citizen there is nothing any government can do to reign him in?

08/17/2023

Do you think we have crossed back over the threshold? Has what we have labeled as progress been an illusion.

Are we beyond the point of having dialog and does that mean that violence is unavoidable? When it comes to maintaining respect, achieving equality, blocking our erasure and sustaining the truth of history, is what happened in Montgomery AL the new threshold of tolerance.

Will we need to organize parental task forces comprised of people of color willing to coordinate their paid leave to oversee what is happening in schools, what is being taught and raise concerns with school boards on a regular basis to keep these teachers and school boards in line?

It's stories like this that makes me feel like Nat Turner's brand of Social Justice would be a more effective course of action.

While it's good to see white people like this woman speaking up, there really aren't enough.

Every Black American and Family needs a firearm collection and training, Emergency cash and or credit cards, and valid passports. Because you're voting rights are next, and just like last time and forever for that matter, Jesus won't be delivering you out of bo***ge.

I hate to say it but Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached and removed from the bench. I hate to see any black man's legacy destroyed but if you don't care about it neither do I.
