Interesting turn of events right??  We know without a doubt that black people are now occupying the most powerful offices in the United States.  This is actually good, I’m sure we will make something of these offices in the future, maybe not now, we are just getting used to it. On the featured image of this post, we have a very interesting picture, one of the most outspoken black women of the republican party,  has a white husband, and then we have Kamala Harris who is a vice presidential nominee, and a democrat, who also has a white husband.  I want to know where the outcry for the black man is ???  For me, you can be with who you love, but when black men do it, it’s almost as if we have betrayed our women when black women do it, it’s love.  It is almost as if to say black men don’t understand love,  but black women do ……. I believe in proof and facts, and go with what I see, of course, we all believe in some theories, but they will remain so till proven.

As far as we know, when the first black man occupied the most powerful office in the world,  he had a black woman by his side,  why can’t we expect the same courtesy from the black woman?  Imagine if President Obama’s wife had been white, we would never hear the end of it. At least he gets some points for bringing the black woman into one of the most powerful offices in the world and not only did he do that he actually brought his mother-in-law, a black woman to the white house.   Here we have two women with very different political ideologies, yet have one thing in common, So let us say by some strange miracle, one of them gets to be president,  they are saying loud and clear, who they would have on their side.   I don’t know about you but if a black woman were to become president of the United States,  should we expect her husband to be white ??? Again  I believe you love who you love, but we make a big deal about race, usually when it favors us.

A lot of black women aspire to be like Michelle Obama but have forgotten that she got to be the first lady or got to be this famous because of a black man, so if black women say they stand by our side all the time like they say they do, then we should have undeniable proof like we do when it came to occupying the most powerful office in the United States, we did not leave the black woman behind. Hopefully, a lot of black women see my argument and not use any mental gymnastics to justify this, they won’t win this one,  Kamala Harris is a heartbeat away from the presidency and if Joe Biden should win, she becomes the president of the Senate.

To be fair, a lot of powerful black men have wives who aren’t of our race but different races,  of course, we black men have done that, and we will admit to it,  AGAIN, when it came to the most powerful position… we went to our black women and said ” come with me”  We black men made sure the white house had a BLACK FAMILY!!.  PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!. How is that for loyalty?

I agree with  Candace Owens sometimes…. but on this, I don’t agree with her, if we have black republicans like Michael Steel and Herman Cain, sure she could have found a nice black Conservative,  same goes for Kamala Harris there is no shortage of black democrats. To me, it says a lot about how the black woman has viewed the black man for a long time.  She will only march for him when he is dead, if he is alive, well, child support will be knocking on his door. Where are women like Coretta Scott King when you need them,  her loyalty was One in a Million.

Oh and save your conspiracy theories, we are going with what we can prove.

Let us take a look I agree with her that our community which is the black community always uplifts the wrong people, it is almost as if our heroes are the ones who have gone against the “system”. We like to listen to our entertainers, and we glorify the people who are actually engaging in destructive behavior.  I also agree with her on the point that, once the officer was arrested for killing an unarmed man, all this should have stopped. That showed that someone sat down and said “ wait a minute” this isn’t right”. The looting doesn’t help anyone, we have actually ended gentrifying our own neighborhoods. We almost always turn around and say “ why can’t we have nice things like white people?” we forget that looting and breaking into stores doesn’t really hurt the business, the big businesses have cash on hand, and they have insurance,  after all this, they are going to pack up and leave because their insurance premiums might be too high for being in a high-risk neighborhood. Burning Target or any other big store doesn’t hurt them all.  Their CFO’s actually have a budget for these things.

I also agree with what she said about  Derick Chavin, being a killer,  because of that, he is not being uplifted in the white communities.

Here is where I disagree with her,  she brought up George Floyd’s criminal record, and the mental state he was in during his arrest. My question to her would be So ???? His past doesn’t mean he should die like that or die by the hands of the law,  So to that point, I will say the fact that he wasn’t a good person in his community doesn’t mean he deserved to die. Actually, when Police officers found out he was high at the time of the “arrest” that was the more reason to handle him with extreme caution because he might not be responsible for his actions, his judgment would extremely be impaired. So him being intoxicated doesn’t mean he deserved to die. ( I can’t say that enough).

True he has a criminal record. He has done somethings that he shouldn’t have done, but the fact is he was murdered right in his own neighborhood, AND that is not right !!!. She is right that we go too far and only say good things about people who might not deserve it, but she is overlooking the fact that when someone dies, remembering the good things they do helps loved ones get some closure, he was still a human being and still had people who loved him.  I can’t say I agree with her, everyone has a good side and a bad side. The hypocrisy is the problem,  as black people, we love being hypocrites when it comes to things like this, it is almost as if we like to pretend we don’t kill each other on a daily basis.  I agree with the fact that she is calling out the hypocrisy. That being said it still doesn’t mean he deserved to die.  To me murder is murder. So black on black crime should get the same attention from black leaders, entertainers like George Floyd got. He has a gofundme set up that has almost $12 million and still going. Do you mean to tell me the death of this man has people pooling money together for one man ??? All in the name of Police Brutality???  We can’t do it for any other reason but tragedy?? My question is that didn’t police brutality exist before ??  Now we have our so-called entertainers, donating, setting up college funds, etc. Extreme virtual signaling!!

Let us do some math,  Oprah, Jay Z, Kanye West, Michael Jordan,  are all billionaires, they can actually put a college fund for a whole lot of kids, but that doesn’t happen,  I’m not asking them just to give money out, but it is just funny that they are doing that now.

Coming back to Candace, the criminal record doesn’t justify what happened to him.  The man shouldn’t have died at the hands of the law. The law was supposed to protect him in the first place. Let us be honest here if George Floyd had not died the way he did and just died at the hands of another black man, no one would have cared, its just another black man they will say.  She asked why are we pretending George Floyd was a good man?  Well here is where it gets a little tricky, if you go into his history, of course, he wasn’t a good man, but I have never seen the law take a record of someone’s “goodness”, it’s the bad things that one does, those are the things that are recorded.  George Floyd may have done some good things, but we might never know what those are because authorities are not interested in the good things people do. I think there is something larger at play here, for example, George Floyd knew that police officer, so why isn’t anyone talking about that?  they worked together for a year and no one is asking more questions about this.

She went on to say Police Brutality is a myth, well I disagree and agree at the same time if we are looking at the numbers alone it seems like a myth, secondly, if something appears on the news, just by default it means it doesn’t happen every day that is why it is on the news, example when killing became normal in the black neighborhoods, the media stopped reporting on the killings and murders because It became so normal that reporting on them will be a waste of time.  Most people cannot tell you, 5 people, who they know, who have been a victim of police brutality. Considering the fact that we are just  13% of the population. In fact, they are more likely to tell you about someone who they know, who got killed by another black person than killed by the police.

To end this I’ll ask, is everything happening really about Police Brutality, or is it about killing or about both, ?? If it is about Police Brutality then we have our priorities misplaced because that doesn’t happen as much as they would want us to believe, if it is about killing, then where is the outrage for David Dorn? David Dorn was a 77-year-old ex-police officer who was shot in cold blood by a black man while he was trying to protect a store from looters, you know the same looting that the death of George Floyd caused???  , I’m yet to see any protest and outrage about him. In fact, since he left behind 5 children and 10 grandchildren I think the Floyd family should donate some of the money they got from gofundme to Mr. Dorn’s family.  If this is a fight against systemic racism then they can join hands in solidarity can’t they ??? They got $12 Million, I stand corrected, they have broken gofundme donation record, it has surpassed $13 million, so what’s a million to this man’s family right ??? I doubt that will ever happen,  Minneapolis government just asked the federal government for $45 million, you know to help with all the damage, here is a strange idea, since everyone is claiming to stand in solidarity, everyone somehow cares about each other almost instantaneously,  the Floyd family can donate let’s say $2 million, they can even ask that the money is used to help those who lost their jobs due to this protest/riots/looting.  They can actually make provisions, so that police get nothing from their donation… Ha, once again I doubt that will ever happen. It is safe to say it was and will never be about George Floyd.

Speaking of gofundme Candace Owens put one up to raise funds for a Café in Birmingham,  Alabama, she got $200,000.00 Gofundme suspended her gofundme over her “opinion”!!!!
