Now, it must be said that neither DeVos nor Carson have expressed anything remotely radical: Their attitudes fall within the paradigm that the best way to fix the Negro Problem is to vehemently ignore it.Long before DeVos was ever considered for the position as Secretary of Education, states like Texas have long tried to put a spin on the atrocities of slavery by referring to it as “unpaid work” or a simple side issue of the War of Northern Aggression. This is to say nothing of the way U.S. History is taught in so many classrooms across the country—apparently Black folks dropped off the face of the Earth from 1865 to 1955. What were we doing? Sitting around eating watermelon while White folks made America great until Rosa Parks decided she was too lazy to move to her ass to the back of the bus? That’s what we do, according to White America, act divisive when we don’t feel like doing any hard work.Whether this nation admits it or not, our country lives and dies by the parameter of White savior, the Lazy Negro, and everything in between. It plays out in how we view ourselves as well as how we view one another. Non-Black American POCs measure their success by their proximity to whiteness—just how far can one distance themself from the those gosh-darn Negroes and their yucky African slave blood? It’s how a White person has the audacity to claim their immigrant ancestors have showed strength and resolve that the enslaved ancestors could not because all my Black ancestors had to do was “a little bit of manual labor for a bit” and they couldn’t even do that right.It is this narrative that allows, and even encourages, the exclusion of Black communities and any group unfortunate enough to fall within its spectrum from American perks. Because it is our insolence and aversion to hard work that states that we do not deserve the opportunities that the land of opportunity offers, and it was this narrative that drove Ben Carson to not only claim enslaved Africans were immigrants, but in the very same speech, to make this simple statement: “We do no favors for anybody. There are no extras for anybody.”
A briefing by a Burundian activist to the United Nations Security Council was cancelled at the last minute on Thursday after Russia objected to her participation, diplomats said.Rights activist Carine Kaneza was scheduled to brief the Council on the devastating crisis in her homeland as the Council discussed a damning report by the new UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, on the situation in Burundi. Diplomatic sources told FRANCE 24 that Russia objected to her participation and her intervention was cancelled.
Trump, Farage, Mercer, And Assange Sittin’ In A Tree?
Donald Trump’s mate Nigel Farage visited the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Thursday, Buzzfeed reported, publishing a photograph of the United Kingdom Independent Party politician leaving the building. Buzzfeed reporter Marie Le Conte apparently surprised Farage as he exited the embassy from what was supposed to be a secret meeting. Le Conte asked Farage why he had visited the Ecuadorian embassy where Wikileaks curator Julian Assange has dodged extradition for sexual assault charges in Sweden since 2012. Farage responded that “he couldn’t remember” what he had been doing in the building that he was exiting after being there for 40 minutes. So Farage’s trip to the embassy where a self-made pro-Russian international saboteur is hiding was like when you open the refrigerator and stare at all your food asking yourself why you opened the fridge.
Like many Republicans, DeSantis either does not know or does not care that 73 percent of Medicaid recipients do, in fact, work, or that the whole point of medical insurance is that even “able-bodied” people like Tiffany Koehler are only “able-bodied” until they are not.Neither the current GOP plan nor the potentially harsher options waiting in the wings recognize the fundamental fact that under repeal, millions of Americans will lose insurance — a life or death prospect for thousands of people.
Let us be clear.1. 20 million people will lose healthcare2. The bad old days will be back3. You will be bankrupt once again from one illness4. The working poor, who got access to healthcare because of Medicaid Expansion – THEY ARE SCREWED5. Grandma and Grandpa in the nursing home paid by Medicaid-you better have a place in your house when they’re kicked out of the nursing home6. Preventive care measures – those wellness measures that have been so popular – GONE7. The subsidies which help the working class/middle class get Obamacare – GONE8. This WILL make Medicare insolvent, which folds into the plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system9. THIS IS A HUGE TAX CUT-$600 BILLION- FOR THE WEALTHY. THEY ARE TAKING AWAY FUNDS FROM THE POOR AND GIVING THEM TO THE WEALTHY.10. GOP health bill includes tax break for insurance execs making $500,000+11. Health insurance isn’t the end goal of #TrumpCare. Tax cuts for the rich is.And, for those of you who are smug, because you don’t think that Trumpcare will affect your Employer Given Healthcare?
Now that the U.S. is being faced with a racist Trump regime, American Jews are being reminded of their own history of oppression, forcing them to make a choice: which side are we on when it comes to Israel? By Michael Sidman Blind support for Israel has kept American Jews from supporting Palestinian liberation for too long – but the Trump administration, in one of its accidental silver linings, has finally created the perfect incubator to bring American Jews and Palestinians together. For decades American Jews, guided in no small part by mainstream Jewish organizations, have actively and vocally lent their support to far-right…
Germany’s Federal Foreign Office accused the far-right nationalist Alternative für Deutschland party (AfD) of peddling fake news when it claimed the department had issued a “serious travel warning” for Sweden.”There is no travel warning for Sweden,” the Foreign Office wrote on its Facebook page. “For one year, (the department) has written in its travel and safety notes for Sweden that there is a terror alert level three – ‘Increased danger’. Prior to this, the terrorism warning was level 4 – ‘High risk.'”It suggested using the headline “The Federal Foreign Office has pointed out a year ago that the Swedish government has lowered the level of terrorism,” saying “we’re sorry, if that sounds less interesting.”
To communicate, they used the messaging app KakaoTalk and exchanged hateful slogans like: “We are Nazis until the bitter end”.They even referred to themselves as “terrorists”, while disparaging refugees as Untermenschen (subhumans), “wretched parasites”, “cattle” and “biologically deficient units”. They said such people must be “annihilated”, “slain”, or “hanged at the next lamp post”.
Enslaved Africans were, of course, not immigrants, and were transported in the cramped, disease-infested holds of ships while shackled stationary as property of “new world” and European corporations. The enslaved had virtually no knowledge of where they were being taken, and less than 10% of the tens of millions of Africans transported wound up on the shores of the US, with a majority landing in South America and the Caribbean. Carson earned instant and biting ridicule for his remarks, with many online poking fun at the former neurosurgeon.
“We can’t be polite about this. We can’t be casual or cavalier,” Barber told a reporter. “We have more voter suppression in recent years than we’ve seen since Jim Crow.”He said that Merrill’s promotion of the voter ID law was “another lie.””I don’t care if you came as secretary of state, to stand up and tell another lie, to push the lie of voter ID and confuse people, normalize it, on a day when the nation is watching,” Barber said. “You cannot come and stand in that pulpit and promote a voter suppression tactic and then we just sit there.”He said that “democracy is at stake.””You cannot have a democracy where voter suppression is normalized, where people will politely let people say to them what they’re doing, in their face and in their church, and it’s okay,” Barber said. “To respect injustice is to be a part of it.””If you undermine voting,” he added, “everything else falls apart.”
