While some people will say former president Trump deserved what is happening to him, others see it as a weaponization of the justice department.  The amazing thing happening is that a lot of black people can now relate to Trump.  Remember those days when black people said the justice system is used against “us” by making up charges???  The funny thing is that other races didn’t believe “us”.  

        The 1994 Crime authored by Joe Biden our current president, put a lot of black people in jail, and kept them there,  so for a long time black people have been saying that the justice system isn’t fair, never has been, you are guilty because they say you are guilty, they don’t need any evidence….they can make up charges right now ,. what do they call it ???, YES TRUMPED up charges.  Now permit me to say that President Trump has this in common with the average black man, not even President Obama ( America’s first black president) has this in common with the average black man. They are charging him for something he didn’t even do,  and this resonates with the average black man, black men are saying,  See, we have been telling you this for years, that they can make up charges.

Above is Archie Williams was in Jail for 37 years for something he didn’t do.

Hillary Clinton ran around for 4 years saying Trump was an illegitimate president, the same system that Trump is questioning,  I guess it is okay for her to question the system that put Trump in office, but Trump cannot do the same.  Black people understand fake charges all too well

Big Payday Coming !!!!! http://selfequanimity.com/big-payday-coming/ Sat, 25 Feb 2023 14:19:56 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=2063      Malcolm X’s family is suing the FBI, CIA, NYPD, New York City, and the New York District Attorney’s office for their involvement in  Malcolm X’s death. They are suing for $100 million. New York State and New York City paid out $36 million to two men who were wrongly convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X, this happened 3 years ago. When I read this I was not too surprised but something just didn’t sit right with me about this whole issue. Number 1 is the timing,  if these two institutions, namely New York State and New York City paid out this amount only 3 years ago, that means someone is asking, where is my cut? Then I saw Ben Crump.  As much as admire Malcolm X for his fight for justice, I don’t think there will be another like him, I also think there is something wrong here, I listened to Ben Crump’s speech and in the speech, he did not say anything about bringing the ones responsible for his death to justice, he is talking about compensation and settlements. This is what he said and I quote, ” if the government compensated the two victims then what is to be the compensation for the daughters of Malcolm X, ? Again is almost like, where is my cut? Now to be fair to them, the government did conceal evidence in the case. Again he is talking about Compensation, he never seems to tell us how much his law firm will make from all these “settlements and compensations”.   I understand the family being compensated, a few questions  I have are, Who killed Malcolm X and why ??? That will be the greatest Justice of all!!. Was it a collective effort by just these organizations? who was their inside man or woman???

This money will come from the taxpayers of New York State, and New York City,  it won’t be from anyone’s pocket which means none of them will lose anything, the most important question of all will be, is this really justice?? . Instead of just suing for money, shouldn’t there be an open investigation, including all organizations that Malcolm X was associated with ??? 

A few people will attach themselves to this and see it as some sort of justice or victory for black people, I already see a few people saying this will be on behalf of FBA/ADOS when Malcolm X wasn’t born from an FBA/ADOS womb. That couldn’t be further from the truth!!!!.

Boy????? Really???? http://selfequanimity.com/boy-really/ Sat, 18 Feb 2023 06:13:27 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=2024 I want Biden supporters to tell me this,  I may have misinterpreted this, but what did Joe Biden mean when he called, the newly elected Governor of Maryland, BOY????  I would like to know. How does Joe Biden keep getting away with this?  I want to know his secret!!!  I would like to get away with a few of these myself, clearly, President Joe Biden never gets in trouble when he says things like this, I mean the author of the 1994 crime bill, the man responsible for over-policing, the man who didn’t want his kids growing up in a racial jungle, yet he keeps getting a pass. I wonder why??.   I don’t see the outrage, I actually don’t see anything.

Some may say he is talking about something else or trying to give More a compliment, but then I should ask what would have happened if this was said by Trump, even if he didn’t mean it in a racist way. what would have happened?? This is why  I need some of his supporters to explain this to me, OUTRAGE !! OUTRAGE!!!!! but of course, I’m sure he didn’t mean it.  We will do what we always do, forgive Joe Biden, Oh another law Biden created is the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse ACT. This specifically punishes black people for minor offenses, I’m not advocating for drugs here, but I’m pointing out the hypocrisy, it is amazing how we have a Fentanyl epidemic and no laws or Acts have been enacted to address this problem when black people do it however, laws have to be written and we have to be thrown in jail. Oh let us see who were the co-sponsors of that bill,

Oh,  Sen Robert Byrd, and Strom Thurmond, if you don’t know these 2 ,I will advise you to do some research.

“You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore, I tell ya,” Biden said, eliciting applause. “He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play. He got some guns on him.”

A$AP Rocky vs Brittney Griner http://selfequanimity.com/aap-rocky-vs-brittney-griner/ Sat, 18 Feb 2023 05:25:04 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=2011 After watching the Superbowl, this idea came to me, it is an interesting idea but I do believe in the world of cause and effect.  I also came across a nice picture of a couple with their cute baby.

in the past months, we have had a few things happen that might be of interest but one has to wonder, or let us say I asked the question what if?  I saw a picture of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky and their baby and couldn’t help but smile. This is where I started to wonder what if, you see in July 2019 A$AP Rocky was arrested in Stockholm Sweden because his entourage got into a fight with someone on the street. Silly him, he recorded the incident and posted it on Instagram. He was arrested and detained in Stockholm.  The interesting thing is that Al Sharpton was initially contacted by Rocky’s family to help with his release, yes the same Al Sharpton who is always first on the scene to talk about racism, Police Brutality, etc. The same one who didn’t know Trump was racist. You would think he would be able to do something (Ha ha).  we all know how that turned out.

Then-president Trump Tweeted his support for A$AP Rocky, the former US Ambassador to Sweden asked the US government to do something,  well after a few days, Rocky was released and was given a  suspended sentence, although he was asked to pay $12,000  in damages. Then deputy Prime Minster of Sweden said that President Trump threatened Sweden with sanctions if Rocky wasn’t released.  I thought Whoa!!!! but Trump is a racist!!!!!!! , he couldn’t have done this to help a rapper who kept getting into trouble, could he ?? Moreover, he didn’t have to……….  Up until Today Trump hasn’t said anything about that, much like he didn’t say anything about what he did for Jennifer Hudson, they came out to say it.   As much as Trump is blamed for everything, even the balloon that was shot out of the sky a few days ago, he has been out of office for a few years and still getting the blame .. interesting!!!!!

I couldn’t help but think, had Trump not done this, A$AP Rocky wouldn’t have been released, and the union between Rihanna and Rocky wouldn’t have happened. When it comes to Biden, only God knows what he would have done. The women Biden chooses have interesting similarities.

At the end of the day, I don’t demand love from my politicians/representatives,  for I don’t know them  I only know what they show me or tell me, I only ask that they do right by me.

Black People built America, Trump said it out loud!!!! http://selfequanimity.com/black-people-built-america-trump-said-it-out-loud/ Sun, 12 Feb 2023 01:16:12 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1992 This will be a short one,  I was surprised this wasn’t a hit on the mainstream media,  this wasn’t repeated over and over again, just the narrative that he was a racist.  if we are looking for any proof that the mainstream media shapes the narrative by using very emotional arguments.

The fact is that not even the Democratic darling Joe Biden has said this, coming to think of it not even the first black president said this, he said he wanted to be the president for ALL  Americans. it’s been two years since the election and I’m only finding this out. if we all are, to be honest, it was us black people who help Joe Biden win the election, even though Joe Biden openly insulted us, and he chose a confused lady to be her vice president, one who kept black men in jail for big business, oh Biden did the same thing, I guess everyone was more emotional than factual.

For anyone who doubts this, I have attached the audio, you can listen to it yourself.

Now the difficult question…… Who is more likely to pay reparations?? Biden or Trump?????

Welcome to Black History Month! http://selfequanimity.com/welcome-to-black-history-month/ Sun, 05 Feb 2023 01:00:16 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1964 What a great start to black history month, We couldn’t ask for anything better.  WOW, we started Black history month with a bang.  There was a big church funeral/service. Our beloved civil rights leader Al Sharpton, gave the Eulogy, Eric Garner, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor’s families were invited, and Kamala Harris decided she was black that day.  Hmmmmmm It was almost like a celebration of some sort.

Let’s remember Rev Al is the same one who didn’t know Trump was racist until he became President.

Trump and Al Sharpton
Trump and Al Sharpton

You couldn’t ask for a perfect start to black history month, This whole event was perfectly put together to the point where one has to wonder if this whole thing was a celebration or a political event of some sort.

Al Sharpton &  Kamala Harris

It might sound crazy but it seems to me that we only identify ourselves through misery and pain. Almost as if we only identify blackness with pain, after all, misery does love company.  Make no mistake I’m not justifying what happened, in no way will any sane person do that, but we cannot say the end justifies the means in this case. What we do know is someone is going to get a big payout at the end, we just don’t know who yet.

Do you know what will be very interesting?  If the family had asked, all, including the politicians that this event is made private, and also the prevention of making this a political affair. Now,  that would have been a shocker to the people who attended, especially, the politicians. They didn’t Tyre Nichols, so I’m finding it hard to believe they were that sympathetic.

It is funny how Kamala Harris used the occasion to tell people that the George Floyd act should be passed as if to say that if that act had been in place,  this wouldn’t have happened, let us not forget these officers had body cams. Moreover, if this was as important to her as she makes It out to be, she should be talking to her boss, not to the family who just lost a loved one.

Tyre Nichols

May this Gentleman Rest in Peace, he didn’t have to die, and the fact that we always have to use someone’s death to make a political statement is strange, also these are people who should have been politically responsible… The funny thing is that we don’t want to be treated as disposable, hell we cry every day and every night about being treated as though we are disposable, after everything we have been through, but then we treat each other just like the way we hate to be treated!

The Economics of Police Brutality http://selfequanimity.com/the-economics-of-police-brutality/ http://selfequanimity.com/the-economics-of-police-brutality/#respond Wed, 01 Feb 2023 01:44:11 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1953 What is this the 1000th time?  Is anyone tired of this , like I am ?  another black man was brutally beaten by the police, this time all the officers who committed this terrible act were black, although they just fired a 6th person , he was white.

Now correct me if I’m wrong , but the usual will happen. First there is the protest, then the family will put up a gofundme, Ben Crump will move swiftly to settle the case. The president will call the family and even invite them to the white house, and here comes Ben Crump’s favorite part, The City/State will pay out a lump sum usually in the millions. Then everyone will go about their daily  lives like nothing happened. Does this sound familiar?

Its almost as if we want these things to happen so we get a big pay out. These settlements are tax payers money. I don’t know who we think we are punishing by taking this money? the white man ? white supremacy?  the Police ? the state ? we have to learn that you cannot punish an entity or  an institution, you can punish individuals though,  sure a few individuals will go to jail but the system remains the same.  let us remember this is not money from wall street, not money from big pharma, not money from big tech , not money from corporations, basically its not money from institution that systematically oppressed black people.  I will say it again , it is tax payers money.

This simply means money from some resource will have to be diverted to pay for this,  some family will be become very rich . These states are usually impoverished and yet somehow we will squeeze out millions just to give to one family as if to say it will bring their family back. lets take a look at some numbers shall we

  1. Tamir Rice $6 Million
  2. Freddie Gray $6.4 Million
  3. Laquan Mcdonald $5 Million
  4. Eric Garner-$5.9 Million
  5. Sandra Bland-$1.9 Million
  6. Mike Brown-$1.5 Million
  7. Trayvon Martin $1 Million ( undisclosed)
  8. Philando Castile  $3Million
  9. Sean Bell-$7 million
  10. Koryn Gaines (was supposed to $32 Million but a settlement was reached for $3 million)
  11. Alton Sterling $3 million
  12. Oscar Grant $1.5 million
  13. George Floyd $27 Million
  14. Breonna Taylor $12 Million

Yes brothers and sisters , $88 Million and counting , let us not forget, black lives matter founder Patrice Cullors became a millionaire by starting an organization for activism. Black lives matter got more than $90 million. Yes they got more money than the sum total of what the Victims got. Let us not forget Rodney King who was awarded $3.8 Million  who died of a drug overdose

Brothers and sisters, it is getting to a point where the difficult question has to be asked

Do We really want Justice ? Or a Pay out ????
