STRAITJACKET IDEOLOGUES CRITICAL RACE BALONY...
RENT IN TOW, IN ESCROW...
Rent Escrow: When the Landlord Fails to Make critical Repairs. Rent escrow typically provides a process through which a tenant pays rent into a "court account", instead of to the landlord, until the landlord makes needed repairs.
You can file a petition to establish a rent escrow account in your local District Court by filling out a "Petition in Action of Rent Escrow" form.
After initiating this form, you will definitely get the attention of the landlord, and maybe settle something out of court, otherwise The Beat Goes On.

WE WERE ROBBED BY REPUBLICANS
WE WERE ROBBED BY REPUBLICANS:
With inflation for a fact, on the rise, American's have become more and more dependent on financial relief.
And straitjacket ideologue Republicans are likely to oppose the sending of another direct payment (stimulus) based on what? An evil, voo-doo economic theory of, increase in prices!
All the more reason to implement the stimulus!
So their reasoning is questionable, unacceptable and makes no sense what-so-ever.
Mean-while, the number to Capitol hill is (202)226-8000 maybe Republicans want to hear from you, because mainstream media keep saying if the Republicans take the house, which is code for, they want the Republicans to take the house!
But Republicans denying Americans (Republican and Democrat), pandemic relief, should be in no such position.
In the real world, Republican writers probably dominate mainstream media, because you hear that code a lot: "if Republicans win the house"! Moreover, where it concerns one's political affiliation, in most instances, there's no confession, just the evidence before you.
And when the Democrats win the House and Senate it will be because of how heartless and mindless the Republicans are, because Americans Republicans or Democrats will not soon forget a stimulus that was not, the traitors, took money out of our freaking pocket, it's like we were robbed!

LIMPING INTO THE MIDTERMS
LIMPING INTO THE MIDTERMS Republicans are running on January 6th and anti-stimulus fumes for the midterms.
We've been viewing the commercials concerning the anti American January 6th insurrection, but nothing pertaining to Republicans sabotaging more stimulus for the American people.
Republicans have absolutely no leg to stand on and Democrats can ill afford, to extend them a crutch to limp and lie themselves into prominence, in the house and senate races, shall we say, no way Jose!

CHECKS TO EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN
CHECKS TO EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN... Every single Congressional Republican suck, voting against the American Rescue Plan, that was to administer checks to every single American between $1400, $2000, $4500 in stimulus relief, for the duration of covid-19 it was to be a major component of President Biden's Build Back Better American Rescue Plan, it would have tentacles to cleverly reach the impoverished, and progressively rebuild the middle class.
If blocking a stimulus payment of between $1400-$4500 by Republicans is okay by you, then you need your head examined!
Is this political mischief?
Are these Republicans the enemy of the State?
Are they a threat to Homeland Security?
Why are people not mad as hell, taking it to the streets?
Why?
Why do Republicans hate the US Capitol and US government?
Are their actions most daring or most unpatriotic?
Was their act a political gamble, a stunt gone wrong?
Why did they take the American people to the cleaners?
Why do Republicans have their hand in our pocket?

$4500, LEFT ON THE TABLE...
REPUBLICANS ROBBED, JACKED, BEAT, RIPPED-OFF "WE THE PEOPLE", THERE'S $4500 LEFT ON THE TABLE WITH CONSEQUENCES.
REPUBLICANS MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THERE'S A PRICE TO PAY, THIS IS SO, NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL.
AND THEY'RE SO CAREFREE ABOUT IT, IT'S LIKE NO BIG DEAL, IT'S LIKE LIKE THE REPERCUSSIONS DON'T FAZE THEM AT ALL, TOTALLY DISREGARDING AND DISRESPECTING THE WELL-BEING OF WE THE PEOPLE.
REPUBLICANS NEED A WAKE-UP CALL STARTING 2022, FROM THIS POINT ON!
PURE-D BULLSHYT...
PURE-D BULLSHYT... We must remember Republicans denied (We the People) recurring monthly payments for the pandemic duration.
There were three Democratic initiatives or proposals for economic stimulus, relief $1400, $2000 and the other amout was $4500, let's say, for the sake of pay-back perspective, Republicans sold out the American people for $7500.
And then Democrats dumb us down with their silence, as though the non-issuance of the 4th stimulus check somehow is a non-issue, and that's pure-d bullshyt!
The point is, none of this Republican obstruction and denial of stimulus is made mentioned in any of the democratic ads, for governorship or House and Senate.
WHY?
POPULAR PUBLIC OPINION...
POPULAR PUBLIC OPINION... Whom in their right mind is thinking about rewarding Republicans in midterm elections after obstructing much needed stimulus relief, during a pandemic, not one Republican voted for the American Rescue Plan, which pretty-much took $1400-$2000 even as much as $4500 out of every American's pocket!
They attacked the US Capitol, and refused to take part in a congressional "Democrat/Republican" inquiry, to "investigate (the january, 6, 2021 attack) as Republicans" are indicted charged and sentenced.
Then for shock value, even Republican supporters were shunned for stimulus, financial support by these anti American misfits, that's right not one Republican member wanted to stick a few dollars in the Bank account of suffering and hungry American's.
Payback is a bytch should be the mindset, of the average American Independent, Republican, Democrat it doesn't matter, it goes beyond politics, it's strictly in the court of popular, public opinion, where it concerns stimulus checks!
The American people deserve $1400-$2000 a month until the pandemic ends as the Democrats concluded, and Vice President Kamala Harris is on record with a remarkable $4500 per month stimulus.
So you can imagine the many frustrated souls with rent due, mortgages on the brink of fore closure, people desperately trying to feed their families, some facing eviction, and many others just facing Financial hardship. Moreover, Democrats are foolish not to use the Republicans blocking stimulus number 4 in their campaign ads for governor, house and senate, should not this be a recurring theme?
Why not?
So if you're going to deny (we the people), $1400-$2000 or a possible $4500 "how in four hells", can you expect anything but defeat in the midterms?
Are Democrats that stupid to let them get away with it?
Because I'm looking at these commercials and not once, do a Democrat mention Republicans blocking stimulus number 4.
But of course, this is out of the realm of politics, so maybe the private sector should be more involved, as far as getting out the message that Republicans obstructed stimulus number 4 and have to pay midterm day!

Pandemic Economic Stimulus is a Republican joke, that is so, not funny, because do to their obstruction, stimulus check #4 is, dead on arrival.
So I want to see, Moscow Mitch playing Jim Jones, in the movie Mid-Term Kool-Aid (you want some)!
It's the story of a bunch of neanderthal politicians, (in a new World Through the Curve, miles behind with their antiquated, delusional, dangerous and insurrectionist thought patterns.
In a new world order, (they wish they could control), because conservatism is out of order, Democracy is in sync, and they are portrayed rightously, as mental midgets, politically on the brink...and so intellectually overwhelmed they shrink, and so full of bullshyt, they stink!

THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM...
THE ADULTS IN THE ROOM...Hypocritical Republican Obstruction not to Raise Debt Limit and Avoid Government Shutdown is designed to hurt President Biden.
And there are those who believe it will backfire because it also hurts Republicans own supporters, who know full well, that the American Rescue plan will build back better, finances for the average Republican, Independent, or Democrat with a monthly stimulus payment between $2000 and $4500 for the duration of the virus.
Moreover, this lame tactic with no merit, is unethical and will doom the Republicans chances to take Congressional seats in the midterms, in which case the Democrats, would be the adults in the room, thus control both the house and the Senate.
In this case scenario, President Biden's American Rescue plan wouldn't be obstructed again.
And each and every American citizen would finally get stimulus checks until the end of this pandemic nightmare, and not have to worry about food, gasoline, rent, eviction and things of this nature.
All Americans, Republicans, Independents, Democrats will be ridin-high, but more importantly they all will be (Ridin With Biden)!
And the spiteful, devious, unpatriotic Republicans would be on the sideline where they belong.

PLAYING ON YO INTELL...
GREAT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ON CAPITOL HILL ARE WORKING THIS WEEK TO UNITE THEIR PARTY AROUND A MASSIVE SPENDING BILL THAT FUNDS PRESIDENT BIDEN'S PRIORITIES.
THEY'RE SELLING IT AS THE LARGEST REMAKING OF THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET SINCE THE NEW DEAL.
SO MANY BOUGHT INTO IT TOO, BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN IN UNCLE SAM'S LAND OF MILK AND HONEY WOULD RECEIVE $2000 CHECKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE PANDEMIC.
YES, REPUBLICANS TOOK THAT AWAY FROM US, AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR HEARTLESS, MINDLESS, ODD BEHAVIOR, AND BAD INTENTIONS IN A TIME OF NEED, WITH SUCH WIDESPREAD HUNGER, PAIN AND SUFFERING, THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
AND GET THIS, CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS ARE POISED (TO PLAY ON YOUR INTELLIGENCE) IN THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS, AS IF ALL OF THIS NEVER HAPPENED.
WE CAN NEVER FORGET THEIR FRIVOLOUS CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, THAT WOULD'VE STIPULATED $2000 STIMULUS CHECKS, UNTIL THE ENDING OF THE PANDEMIC.
IT IS SAID BY SOME INSIDERS ON CAPITOL HILL, REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THEY CAN HOOD-WINK, SMOKE AND MIRRORS AND BAM-BOOZLE, THEIR WAY TO VICTORY IN THE MIDTERMS.
PLAYING ON OUR INTELLIGENCE, LIKE A VIOLIN WITH A PHONY CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN'S AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, ALL THE WHILE, HOPING AMERICAN'S WILL OVER-LOOK THEIR CONGRESSIONAL OBSTRUCTION OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S AMERICAN RESCUE STIMULUS PLAN, THAT'S THEIR MIDTERM PLAN.
WHAT'S YOURS?
BECAUSE THEY'RE THINKING THEY CAN PLAY US, LIKE A B-FLAT TUBA, BUT WE'LL BUILD BACK BETTER, RIDIN WITH MAESTRO BIDEN. .

BUILD BACK BETTER MIDTERMS...
BUILD BACK BETTER MIDTERMS...President Biden and the Democrats were smart to ensure every American Democrat and Republican, got economic relief byway of the (pandemic stimulus), so there's no reason, and it's just not smart politics, to obstruct the next round of financial aid (stimulus) for the American people.
But the GOP Republicans, threw the American people under the bus, and in so doing, committed political suicide, the back story to unfold with the Democrats gaining political capital, in the midterms! In this moment of pandemic politics in the political Arena, the Republicans have terribly underestimated the power of, We the People, and are poised to be annihilated!
Time and time again Republicans shoot themselves on the left foot, and now they must limp into the midterms with the dubious distinction of denying their own supporters financial aid (stimulus) in a pandemic.
Some things transcend politics and are just popular, and I don't think the Republicans are too popular with the American people at this stage, the Democrats become the good guys, and the Republicans just the opposite.
SOME THINGS TRANSCEND POLITICS...
SOME THINGS TRANSCEND POLITICS!...We all could have more money in the bank, if not for seceding republican politicians.
Any time there's an (opportunity, for normal politicians) to provide financial help to the American people, they realize it's their appointed duty to do so, and not to do so, is not only secession it's mean, odious, unacceptable, anti government, unpatriotic and un-American, it's damn-near criminal!
Drafters of the American Rescue Plan said "Dollars Are Coming". And they are to be commended because they wanted to invest in the American people, be it employee, business, Democrat or Republican because some things transcend politcs!
Thus Stimulus checks are checks sent by the U.S. government to taxpayers to boost their spending power and spur economic activity.
These stimulus payments were to provide relief for economic hardships caused by COVID-19. I suppose the question is, are the Republicans committing political suicide by voting against pandemic relief for all Americans?
Every single Republican is on record in opposition to The American Rescue Plan and the plan is so popular with all Americans, Republicans are feeling the heat, and a few just might lose their seat.
#Because stimulus dollars, from The American Rescue Plan was financial help in a devastating pandemic, for all Americans Democrats, Independents, Republicans alike!

THE GOP WOULD RATHER HURT BIDEN THAN HELP DEMOCRATS AND THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS...
THE GOP WOULD RATHER HURT BIDEN, THAN HELP THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS... Unpatriotic, anti-government Republicans block $2000 stimulus package proposed by the House of Representatives.
Shame, shame, sham!
Political suicide, by policy a concept by which a regressive political party loses mass appeal and confidence from the progressive voting public, in proposing a obstructionist anti stimulus bill, nullifying direct payments to the American people, making the GOP bill seen as unfavourable, that goes against popular demand
As people struggle with rent mortgage, homelessness, and feeding their families, I don't think many will forget the sheer lack of compassion and consideration by the regressives, who'd rather hurt President Biden than help the American people, and their own constiuents.
So hopefully this gives their anti government, anti American voter suppression efforts, a much-needed shot in the foot (arm) for the mid-terms.
Seriously, the regressives are actually trying to commit Political suicide?
Because it is (mid term) mind-boggling how regressives can care less how much a $2,000 a month stimulus would help a multitude of American families, instead Republican and Democrat voters and tax payers alike, are thrown under the bus.
Moreover, a $2,000 a month stimulus, until the end of the pandemic would go a long way towards rebuilding the middle class and eradicating poverty, on the #BuildBackBetter platform!

HEALTH INSURANCE REBATES...
HEALTH INSURANCE REBATES... Some Americans could be eligible for financial compensation via health insurance rebates through a provision of the Affordable Care Act that covers “medical loss ratio” requirements.
According to Yahoo News, insurance companies are required to spend 80% of their premiums on “claims and other activities of value to policyholders.”
The remaining 20% goes to overhead costs.
The numbers are slightly different for large group insurance plans with 50 employees or more – 85% of the premiums go to activities of value with overhead capped at 15%.
If an insurance provider does not meet these rules, the difference has to go back to participants in the form of a rebate credit or check.
And the expected rebate amounts vary by market, but a Kaiser Family Foundation estimate puts this year’s rebates for individual markets at $1.5 billion with small group market insurers issuing $308 million in rebates and large group market insurers issuing $310 million in rebates.
Some 10.7 million people are expected to qualify Make sure you check with your carrier, concerning available rebates.
MUSICIANS ROYALTIES A-Z
ROYALTIES... Musicians get paid a percentage of each album sold. This percentage is known as a royalty.
There are other methods for musicians to make money.
How do royalties work? — Music royalties are compensatory payments received by rights holders (songwriters, composers, recording artists, and their partners.
But royalties on the sales of albums is the main stream of money coming from a standard, recording contract.
Mechanical royalties are paid to songwriters or publishers. Songs can be licensed for audio products, including (CDs, digital recordings, vinyl or even cassettes).
These products generate royalties when they are sold.
A distributor collects royalties directly from stores/streaming platforms on behalf of labels.
An artist's label will then collect the recording royalties and distribute them to the appropriate artist.
If an artist is not with a label, the artist will collect the recording royalties directly from the distributor.
Unlike most countries, which base mechanical royalties on percentages, US mechanical royalties are calculated on a penny (¢) basis per song. ... This negotiated or “reduced” mechanical royalty rate is generally a percentage of the minimum compulsory license rate, up to a maximum number of songs.
In most markets, both songwriters and recording artists are typically paid royalties any time their music is played on the radio. ... So, for the American-based music industry, only songwriters and their publishers (owners of the composition copyright) are paid performance royalties for airplay.
Publishing Rights organization SoundExc... American Society of Composers and Publishers... Songtrust PRS for Music Harry Fox Agency Broadcast Music SESAC SOCAN (CANADIAN) SESAC, originally the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers, is a for-profit performance-rights organization in the United States.

Where is the (corporate welfare/tax cut for the rich) GOP poll, opposing the 4th stimulus for the people?
They wouldn't dare produce such suicidal polling, so the propaganda against the stimulus is vindictive, regressive and expected, because the voting public is more Progressive, moving forward.
Moreover, change dot org has nearly 3 million endorsements on a greatly admissible and tangible 4th stimulus proposal, inspired by The Honorable Kamala Harris of $2,000 until the end of the Japandemic!
After all, it was vice president Kamala Harris who previously stated prior to being selected VP, that that stimulus might be $4500, until the end of the Japandemic!

RESTITUTION RIVER...
Talk of Reparations for Slavery Moves to State Capitols Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, a Democrat, announced plans last month to introduce sweeping legislation that would award reparations to African American state residents.
As the nation debates the merits of reparations, lawmakers in California, New York, Texas and Vermont have introduced legislation exploring compensation to the descendants of slaves.
Courtesy of Democratic Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb updated to clarify Rep. Chris Rabb's position on REPARATION.
Four centuries after the first African slaves landed on Virginia shores, state lawmakers across the country are taking up the debate over how to atone for what’s been called “AMERICA'S ORIGINAL SIN.” DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS IN CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK AND VERMONT — STATES THAT EITHER OUTLAWED SLAVERY BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR OR NEVER ALLOWED IT — HAVE INTRODUCED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR STATES ROLE IN THE ECONOMIC INEQUALITIES SLAVERY RENDERED AND; RECOGNIZE THE LASTING, NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SLAVERY ON CURRENT GENERATIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN'S; AND EXPLORE MONETARY REPARATIONS.
In April, Democratic lawmakers in Texas introduced a bill urging the passage of a federal reparations bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, also a Democrat, that same month.
(Sponsors did not return Stateline calls for comment.)
And in September, Florida lawmakers introduced a $10 million reparations bill for the descendants of victims of a specific, 1920 racial atrocity, the Ocoee massacre.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE REP. CHRIS RABB announced plans to introduce a reparations bill this legislative session that would entitle African Americans in the Keystone State to remuneration. But first, the Democrat said, HE'S ORGANIZED A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS TO IDENTIFY EVERY STATE LAW SINCE 1776 THAT'S HAD A “RACIST IMPACT” ON THE STATE'S AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION.
He proposes a statewide reparations plan for Pennsylvania that would involve multiple tiers of compensation, with the greatest awards going to residents who can prove they descended from generations of black Pennsylvanians.
To qualify for reparations, residents would have to prove they’ve lived as African Americans through government records such as census records or birth certificates. “WHEN WE WONDER WHY THESE RACIAL DISPARITIES CONTINUED TO ENDURE, WE HAVE TO LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE ORIGIN,” IT'S POLICY. THERE'S NO CULTURAL DEFICIT. IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR, SYSTEMIC RACISM” To be sure, except for one California resolution that passed with bipartisan support, none of the state bills has yet made it past committee.
All were introduced by Democrats. But as the United States wrestles with rising incidents of hate crimes and policymakers become increasingly conscious of slavery’s long-term effects on issues ranging from criminal justice policy to educational achievement gaps, this year’s legislative activity marks the first time that states have explored reparations in a significant way.
“I’m surprised to see the action going on at the state level,” said Thomas Craemer, associate professor of public policy at the University of Connecticut, who became interested in reparations because of the history of the Holocaust and the postwar reparations program in his native Germany.
SUDDENLY REPARATIONS HAS HIT THE MAINSTREAM,” said Craemer, who is part of a national team of academics organized by Duke University professor William Darity crafting a proposal that OUTLINES THE ARGUMENT FOR REPARATIONS and how they would be implemented. Critics of state reparations, meanwhile, argue the issue should be handled at the federal level, and they wonder how the proposals would be paid for and who would qualify to receive the money.
“It’s a weird sense of accountability,” said Walter Williams, an economics professor at George Mason University in Virginia who opposes all reparations.
“What people are suggesting is that we help a black person of today by punishing a white person of today for what a white person of yesterday did to a black of yesterday,” said Williams, who is black.
“That’s a perverse sense of justice in my opinion.” ‘Hotbed of Slavery’ The state bills seem designed to ignite conversation about systemic racial injustices at a time when the nation is sharply divided over issues of race.
Like the federal bill currently being considered in the U.S. House, the state measures would create commissions to study reparations and propose solutions.
For example, New York Democrats in January introduced bills in both the General Assembly and the state Senate that would create a commission to study reparations and racial and economic discrimination against African Americans.
The bills also would acknowledge “the FUNDAMENTAL INJUSTICE, CRUELTY, BRUTALITY, AND INHUMANITY OF SLAVERY in the city of New York and the state of New York.” New York state Sen. James Sanders Jr., the lead sponsor of the Senate bill, declined Stateline’s request for comment; state Assemblyman Charles Barron, who introduced that chamber’s bill, did not respond. California Democrats introduced two measures this year.
One, which both the state Assembly and Senate approved overwhelmingly, was a resolution acknowledging California’s role in chattel slavery and recognizing “the need to pursue avenues to implement proposed reparations for the descendants of African slaves in the United States.”
A second resolution, introduced in June, would formally apologize for California’s “past complicity in slavery” and encourage Congress to enact the federal reparations bill.
That resolution is currently in committee. California state Assemblyman James Gallagher, a Republican who voted against the pending resolution, said, “Certainly slavery is a grievous injustice in our country’s history that we absolutely as a country need to recognize and apologize for.”
But reparations is the wrong approach, he said. “It’s a typical Democratic solution: Let’s figure out how to allocate more taxpayer dollars and throw more money at something, but it doesn’t necessarily get at the root issues.”
State lawmakers' efforts recognize the complexity of slavery’s history and repercussions, said Cornell Brooks, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and former president of the NAACP.
Brooks and a team of researchers at the Kennedy School have been asked by a New Jersey advocacy organization to craft a reparations bill for that state.
If successful, the team hopes to replicate those efforts in other states, Brooks said.
“We need a morally ambitious strategy, but on a state and local-sized platform,” Brooks said.
“To just relegate the responsibility to Congress ignores the role of state capitols and city halls in slavery.”
STATELINE STORY March 29, 2019 ‘A Pileup of Inequities’: Why People of Color Are Hit Hardest by Homelessness It makes sense for states, in addition to the federal government, to address reparations because even non-slave-states benefitted from the institution, said Vermont state Rep. Brian Cina, a member of the Progressive Party who sponsored the Vermont bill.
“It’s easy for people to say we didn’t have slaves in Vermont, but were you buying cotton from the South?
Tobacco?” said Cina, who identifies as multiracial THE BLACK POPULATION STILL STRUGGLES UNDER THE ODIOUS LEGACY OF SLAVERY TODAY!
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE ADOPT A PROPOSAL FOR REPARATIONS. HALF-HEARTED TALK OF REPARATIONS HAS CROPPED UP AGAIN AND AGAIN SINCE THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.
AS THE CIVIL WAR WAS NEARING AN END, UNION LEADER GEN. WILLIAM SHERMAN WROTE AN ORDER SETTING ASIDE LAND CONFISCATED ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST FOR THE FORMERLY ENSLAVED! THE “40 ACRES AND A MULE” DECLARATION, ONLY TO HAVE IT SCANDALOUSLY REVERSED BY CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON, THE SOLE MOTIVATION FOR PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION, LINCOLN FLAT-OUT REFUSED TO RESEND GEN. SHERMAN'S 40 ACRES AND A MULE DECLARATION.
STATELINE STORY AUGUST 15, 2018 WHERE BLACK HOMEOWNERSHIP IS THE NORM THOSE WHO SUPPORT REPARATIONS DON'T AGREE ON WHAT THAT SHOULD LOOK LIKE, AND WHAT ROLE, IF ANY, THE FED, STATES AND CORPORATIONS SHOULD PLAY. STATE RESOLUTIONS SHOULD ENDORSE AND CONCEIVE A NATIONAL AGENDA, “THE CULPABLE PARTY IS THE CONFEDERATE INFLUENCED UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,” AND BIG BUSINESS “CONFEDERATES CREATED THE LEGAL SYSTEMIC RACISM AUTHORITY STRUCTURE TO ALLOW FOR THESE ATROCITIES, NEFARIOUSLY DESIGNED WITH PEOPLE OF COLOR IN MIND.”
Darity and other supporters of reparations argue it’s not just THE INSTITUTION OF CONFEDERATE SPONSORED SLAVERY FOR WHICH THE NATION SHOULD BE ATONING FOR, ALSO STATE-SANCTIONED DISCRIMINATION IN THE FORM OF POST-SLAVERY JIM CROW LAWS, REAL ESTATE REDLINING, HAMPERING BLACK WEALTH BUILDING. AND WITH IT, MASS INCARCERATION, SERVED TO HANDICAPPED BLACK AMERICA!

UFO'S DON'T LAND!!!
THE SECRET COVID-19 SCHEME...
Finally FBI arrested a professor from Boston university who was in connection with Chinese university and research lab in Wuhan, and was highly paid by China...
Now it is very close to clear that CORONA VIRUS IS A BIO ATTACK PLANNED AND CONDUCTED BY CHINA. -
A Chinese expert assures everybody that inhalation of a steam from hot water kills Corona virus 100 percent. Even if the virus entered the Nose, throat or Lungs.
Corona Virus can not stand the hot water steam... PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.
States talk about reparations...
RED LINING...

CAN'T PUT REPARATIONS IN THE REAR VIEW...
CAN'T PUT REPARATIONS IN THE HANDS OF FATE, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME TO WAIT... CAN'T PUT REPARATIONS IN THE REAR VIEW, IT'S NOW OR NEVER, SO THAT WILL NEVER DO...
WHY INCOME INEQUALITY SUCK!
LIT...
(71.) FIRST AND FOREMOST WE MUST PRAY, THAT GOD HAS OPENED OUR EYES, AND WANT US TO STAY WOKE!
SO SUPPORT THE ACLU, NAACP, THE URBAN LEAGUE, AARP, NATO, WORLD COURT, AND THE UN.
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE CANDLES LIT THAN BEFORE, IN SUPPORT OF [BLACK LIVES MATTER] BECAUSE, WHITE PEOPLES CANDLES ARE LIT!
AND JUST AS THEY DID DURING SLAVERY, THEY WELCOME BLACKS IN THEIR HOUSE-HOLD, AND FULLY SUPPORT BLACKS EQUALITY EFFORTS!
WAL THEMSELVES OFF FROM THE WORLD...
(72.) AMERICAN'S WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT RISING INCOME INEQUALITY and who speak out in favor of policies traditionally considered to be antithetical to their economic interest have begun to promote higher taxes on the wealthy.
And they're quick to point out, there's no Envy or jealousy just common sense, pay your a share tax measures!
And walling themselves off from the world is a personal choice, but we have no choice, we all must pay Uncle Sam's taxes.
SHAVING BENEFITS...
(71.) IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE WHOLE GOP IS ENGAGED IN—SHAVING EVERY BENEFIT OFF WORKERS’ AND RETIREES LIVES, MAKING SURE THEY ARE LIVING IN POVERTY OR CLOSE TO IT, AS IS ODIOUSLY POSSIBLE.
ABIGGAL DISNEY
ALL BY HIS LONESOME...
(68.) ANY GUY WHO HAS A CONFEDERATE FLAG PAINTED ON THE BACK OF HIS PICK-UP, ALONG WITH A ROPE NOOSE IS ONLY REMINDING HIMSELF, OF THE 10/20 COWARD RULE FOR HANGING, HE COULD NEVER HANG A MAN, ALL BY HIS LONESOME, HE'D BE IN FOR THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE! HE HIMSELF, MIGHT GET THE NOOSE! YOU SEE COWARD COPS KILL BLACKS WITH GUNS, OR FIVE/SIX COPS MURDER A SINGLE BLACK MAN, BECAUSE SOME COPS FEAR A ONE-ON-ONE CONFRONTATION, ONLY A FEW DON'T!
ANCESTORS...
WHO'S COUNTING?
(65.) SLAVERY REPARATIONS COULD CARRY A $17.1 TRILLION PRICE TAG. OR $51 TRILLION. IT DEPENDS ON WHO'S DOING THE MATH.
WOE WHOA...
(65.) WOE TO THOSE WHO MAKE UNJUST LAWS, WHO ISSUE OPPRESSIVE DECREES, TO DEPRIVE THE POOR AND OTHERS OF THEIR INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND WITHHOLD JUSTICE FROM THE OPPRESSED OF MY PEOPLE, MAKING WIDOWS THEIR PREY AND ROBBING THE FATHERLESS. ISAIAH 10:1-2
WHITE PRIVILEGE, REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD PERIODICALLY...
(64.) WHITE PEOPLE IN AMERICA WANT THE [SYSTEMIC RACIST] POLICE STATE TO PROTECT THEIR [WHITE PRIVILEGE] INTERESTS OVER THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND IN FAR TOO MANY CASES, BROWN INDIGENOUS AND ASIAN POPULATIONS TOO.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY IS WOKE, ARTICULATING ANSWERS TO THIS PREDICAMENT OF BRUTALITY, GEORGE FLOYD WAS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK!
LET'S BE CLEAR, WE WANT NOTHING YOU'VE GOT FOR REAL, WE'RE JUST OUT, TO EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD WE DON'T GO AROUND FOOLING OURSELVES, [YOU'RE TOO FAR GONE], THAT TRAIN, HAS LEFT THE STATION!
AND WE'RE NOT PLAYING CATCH-UP, IT'S NOT THAT TYPE OF PARTY. ALL WE WANT IS OUR PIECE OF THE ROCK! OUR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE IS TO THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE, BUILDING EQUITY IN OUR COMMUNITY PARADIGM, IS WHAT OUR ANCESTORS ALWAYS ENVISIONED FOR THEMSELVES, AND THEIR CHILDREN, GRAND CHILDREN AND GENERATIONS TO COME!
SYSTEMIC WHITE SUPREMACY, SUPPRESSION AND DISCRIMINATION HINDERED THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS. AND RACIAL INEQUITIES HAVE DEVASTATED BLACK COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE, AS IT RELATES TO AN INEQUITABLE CASH FLOW FOR CRITICAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND UPGRADING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN BLACK COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE.
WEALTH BUILDING THROUGH HOME OWNERSHIP IS A GIVEN, BUT THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WAY TOO MUCH BIAS, PREJUDICE AND BIGOTRY, IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, COMBINE THAT WITH SYSTEMIC RACISM, YOU HAVE A RUN-AWAY FREIGHT TRAIN, THAT HAS JUMPED THE TRACKS.
NOW WE HAVE TO CALL IN THE OFFICIAL HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AND FIND OUT WHY, SUCH A NEFARIOUS CONFEDERATE AGENDA WAS NOT INTERCEPTED, AND TAKEN THE OTHER WAY, TO KEEP THE SCORE EVEN?
OUR ANCESTORS WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY, TO JOIN FORCES WITH THE GREAT NORTHERN UNION [USA] AND DESERVED BETTER. CONFEDERATES SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DOMINATE THEIR EX-SLAVES, ALSO CIVIL WAR FOES, IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE WHAT THE NORTHERN UNION'S BENIGN NEGLECTION ALLOWED THE VINDICTIVE CONFEDERATES TO CONCEIVE AND LEGISLATE.
THEY WOULD UNLEASH AN OPPRESSIVE, OFFENSIVE AND ODIOUS SUPPRESSIVE OPERATION CALLED, SYSTEMIC RACISM, EXPRESSLY TO HARASS, HINDER AND HUMULIATE BLACK PEOPLE!
AND NOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED, PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY WOKE, BUT WILL STAY WOKE UNTIL THERE'S RESOLUTION, [NO JUSTICE, NO SLEEP]!
TODAY'S GENERATION IS DOING ALL THE THINGS NECESSARY FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CHANGE PLATFORM. AND THE MEASURES THE REPUBLICANS TOOK TO SUPPRESS THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA WAS CRIMINAL, UNPATRIOTIC AND UN-AMERICAN.
PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE ARE ON TO CONFEDERATES, AND ON TO REPUBLICANS AND ON TO THE HEINOUS PARADIGM OF CONFEDERATE, SYSTEMIC RACISM! SO MAKE NO MISTAKE, PRESIDENT OBAMA EMBODIES THE EXAMPLE OF A PROTOTYPE PHENOMENAL BLACK MAN, AND THIS WHOLE-WIDE WORLD GOT TO SEE WHAT A GREAT GUY HE IS, WHAT A GREAT HUSBAND HE IS, GREAT FATHER BOND, GREAT LEADER AND GREAT COMMMUNITY CONNECTION. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ALSO EXEMPLIFIES ALL THE QUALITIES IT TAKES, TO BE A BONA-FIDE WORLD LEADER, AND LEAVES A LASTING IMPRESSION ON PEOPLE, WHEREEVER GOES!
AND SURE HE'S AN HISTORICAL AND LEGENDARY FIGURE, BUT THE WORLD COMMUNITY WAS ADDRESSED AS NO MODERN DAY AMERICAN LEADER HAS EVER DONE BEFORE, HE GAVE PEOPLE HOPE, IN SOME WALKS OF LIFE, HE BECAME [THE OPPOSITE] OF A FALSE PROPHET!
SO IN DONALD TRUMP YOU HAVE A CORRUPT, JELLY AND DIVISIVE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS SO NAIVE AND INCOMPETENT IT'S PATHETIC.
AND JUST PRIOR TO THE 2020 PANDEMIC, HE ABOLISHED THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC UNIT, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD ESTABLISHED, IN A JUVENILE-LIKE DISPLAY OF ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE, AS THE PANDEMIC RAVAGES UNCONTROLLABLY ACROSS THE NATION, THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION, HAS NO NATIONAL, OR RATIONAL PLAN! AFTER TRUMP, JOE BIDEN BECAME A GOD SEND! AT A POINT, TRUMP THOUGHT HE WAS ABOVE THE LAW, BEFORE THE [SCOTUS RULED OTHERWISE].
IT SHOULD BE DULY NOTED, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HAS NO SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET, CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR TRUMP.
OBAMACARE, SLIPPERY SLOPE...
(63.) THE STAGE WAS SET, FOR SCOTUS TO PERFORM THE AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE ACT, THE THOUGHT OF ABOLISHMENT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK, AS OF 2020 MILLIONS HAD HEALTHCARE, STILL INTACT!
OBAMACARE HAS MANY PROGRESSIVE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS, WHICH THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WERE SOON TO DISCOVER.
SO THE DEGREE OF SOPHISTICATION FOR THE GOP AND SCOTUS WAS ASTONISHING, PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS ACA LAW IS TIGHT, AND PROVED TO BE A VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE!
BLACK AND WHITE, NOW IS LIT, HOGWASH, BULLSHYT...
(62.) IOT CIVIL WAR PARADIGM, IT'S VERY SIMPLE THE GOP/REPUBLICAN ALGORITHM IS LIKE THE CARTOON ON PBS WITH THE DINOSAUR TRAIN, A TROGLODYTE TRAIN FULL OF CONFEDERATE LOONEY TUNE REJECTS.
ON THE OTHER TRACK GOOGLE, AMAZON, LINKEDIN, PINTEREST, WORDPRESS, SMASHWORDS AND SO MANY OTHERS, THROUGH THE CURVE, ARE PROGRESSIVELY ENGINEERING AUTONOMOUS JEEPS, TANKS, HEAVY ARTILLERY TRUCKS, DRONES AND LEVITATION TRAINS!
ALL IS FAIR IN WAR!
NOTHING HAS CHANGED SENCE THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY, HIGHER-GROUND IS MORE THAN AN ALGORITHM, IT IS THE KEY TO VISTORY IN ALMOST ANY BATTLE FOUGHT.
THE CYBERSPAGE CIVIL WAR ON THE IOT IS ONE THE CONFEDERATES ONCE AGAIN, CAN NOT WIN, TYRANNY, SCANDALS, AND FOREIGN INTERFERENCE, MEDDLING, REGULATING AND TROLLING WON'T CUT THE MUSTARD.
WORLD-WIDE THE POPULATION IS WOKE, DO IN NO SMALL PART TO PRESIDENT OBAMA.
EACH AND EVERY TIME TRUMP TRIED TO DISCREDIT HIM, ONLY REMINDED PEOPLE OF HOW BRILLIANT, DYNAMIC AND ARTICULATE THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN, NOT ONLY HERE IN AMERICA BUT SPANDING THE GLOBE!
PRESIDENT OBAMA JUST HAS A CHARMING, MAGNETIC PERSONALITY, AND HE'S A VERY DIGNIFIED COMMUNITY WORKER TO BOOT.
SO THE MENTAL DISORDER THAT WAS EVIDENT IN A FEW KLAN MEMBERS AND OTHERS, WHO PUBLICLY WOULD SAY BLACK AND WHITES WERE A TOXIC MIX, AND HERE YOU HAD A WORLD LEADER, WITH BLACK AND WHITE PARENTS, FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE.
THE PRESIDENT'S PARENTS [THANK GOD] DEBUNKED THAT RACIST NARRATIVE!
AND WE MUST REMEMBER TO PROTECT OURSELVES AT ALL TIMES.
SO IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND A COP PULLS YOU OVER, BEAR IN MIND, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING, YOU CAN STATE, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY!
TRUST ME, IT REALLY KILLS THEM [CONFEDERATES] THAT THE IOT IS A PROGRESSIVE ENTITY, AND THEY CAN GAIN NO MAJORITY FOOTING, IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE THE INTERNET [TAKING THE HIGHER-GROUND, HENCE CIVIL WAR IOT! AND THAT PARADIGM IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANY TIME SOON.
WHEN YOU WITNESS ARMED INDIVIDUALS, CONFEDERATE [MILITIA], REMEMBER THEY ARE A BUNCH OF RACIST MENTALLY DISTURBED, PROVOCATIVE MINIONS, OUT TO GET ATTENTION AND FOIL PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION.
THEY MIGHT PUSH OR SHOVE TO PROVOKE A CONFRONTATION, THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN YOUR TYPICAL TROUBLE MAKER THUGS!
SO BEWARE AND PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.
THE WORLD HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT OF GOVERNMENT ACKNOWLEDGING SYSTEMIC RACISM AND GOVERNING ACCORDINGLY.
INDIVIDUALS WHO DISAGREE, STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB, AS WE WITNESS THEM AT GATHERINGS, SUPPOSEDLY HOPPING MAD ABOUT THE REVOLUTION UNFOLDING BEFORE THEM, AS BECOME THE MINORITY!
AND THERE AIN'T A DAMN THING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THIS MIND-SET IS NO MORE THAN SEVENTEENTH CENTURY REGRESSION, [THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR SLAVES] ONLY NOW, IT'S POLICY, THEY WANT SYSTEMIC RACISM TO CONTINUE, NO MATTER HOW UNFAIR, HOW DISCRIMINATORY IT'S DISADVANTAGES MANIFEST, THESE SELF-SERVING HOOLIGANS CAN BE A PAIN, BECAUSE THEY NEVER THINK AHEAD, NEVER THINK OF OTHERS, SO OTHERS HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING ON THEIR MIND!
SOCIAL CHANGE, AS PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID, WON'T BE EASY, BOY IS HE RIGHT.
THE ONLY THING HE DIDN'T MENTION, CHANGE IS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN, NOTHING CAN STOP IT.
THEY JUST MAY HAVE TO REINVENT PD AND SUPPLIMENT THE COP-SHOP BY HIRING PSYCHOLOGIST AND PSYCHIATRIST TO MONITOR AND ACTUALLY ANSWER CALLS, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH POLICE DUTY, AT THE SAME TIME, EXAMINE PATROL OFFICERS AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, WITH RED FLAGS!
MILLENNIALS ARE MOVING FORWARD, SO THE ONES ON THAT DINOSAUR TRAIN, ARE GETTING LEFT BEHIND, AND THEY HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES!
YES, THE WHOLE WORLD WHITES, BLACKS, IMMIGRANTS, LGBTQ, AFRICANS, FRENCH, BRAZILIANS POLITICIAN'S EVEN INMATES ARE MOVING FORWARD, RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND CONFEDERATE STATUE GEEKS WHO STAND-ALONE IN THEIR REGRESSION ZONE!
HOW SOON THEY TRIP, AND FORGET THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES, IN THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY. THE FUNNY THING IS CONFEDERATES THINK WE WANT THEIR GUNS AND GOLD, TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, GUNS AND GOLD IS NOT IMPRESSING US.
WHAT WE SEEK IS GOOD PAYING JOBS, TO AVOID SUB-STANDARD HOUSING, AND THE END TO SYSTEMIC RACISM!
AND REMEMBER IF I TOOK YOUR GUNS AND GOLD, THAT WOULD MAKE IT A CRIME, SO YOU'RE INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE TO UTTER SUCH NON-SENSE.
WE'RE ONLY OUT FOR JUSTICE, NO JUSTICE, NO SLEEP!
IOT CIVIL WAR... PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A GOD-SEND, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE GOT TO WITNESS A BRILLIANT, INGENIOUS, WORLD RENOWNED, ATTORNEY ARTICULATE, DIGNIFIED AND HONORABLE PERSON OF COLOR, WHAT A GOD SEND!
BECAUSE THE MEDIA HAVE FOR SO LONG DEPICTED US IN A VERY NEGATIVE LIGHT, AS DRUG DEALERS, ROBBERS, PIMPS AND THIEVES.
THE MEDIA HAVE BLOOD ON IT'S HANDS AS WILLING PARTICIPANTS IN THE CARNAGE OF PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND NEFARIOUS DESIGNED NARRATIVES AND IMAGES IN THE WORLD OF SYSTEMIC RACISM!
SO INSTITUTIONAL RACISM BENEFITS WHITE PEOPLE, AND DENIES BLACK PEOPLE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR FAR TOO LONG!
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
IS THE ANSWER REFORM?
SHOULD WE REVISIT THE CONSTITUTION?
ARE WE HEADED FOR IOT CIVIL WAR?
HOW LONG DID CONFEDERATES THINK THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH SYSTEMIC RACISM?
IS THE NORTH GUILTY OF KICKING ASS?
WAS IT DESIGNED WITH VENGEANCE IN MIND, FOR THE NORTHERN UNION ENDING SLAVERY?
WAS THE ENDING OF SLAVERY, THE BEGINNING OF SYSTEMIC RACISM?
IS SYSTEMIC RACISM A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CONFEDERACY?
WERE THEY [CONFEDERATES] REPATRIATED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CIVIL WAR?
IF NOT, WHY? IS THAT WHY MILITARY BASES ARE NAMED IN HONOR OF ENEMY, COMBATANTS?
ARE CONFEDERATES BEING PROPERLY PREPARED FOR LOOMING CHANGE?
WILL THE LAND OF MILK AND MONEY FOR CONFEDERATES NOW BECOME THE REAL LAND OF MILK AND HONEY FOR ALL?
WHY DO CONFEDERATES REBEL, AGAINST THE CURRENT OF INEQUALITIES AND INEVITABLE CHANGE?
SO, MAYBE CONFEDERATES NEED THEIR OWN COUNTRY, BECAUSE THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS, WHITE PRIVILEGE BENEFITS FROM THE SYSTEMIC RACISM PARADIGM, AND SOME WHITES (NOT CONFEDERATE) ARE UNWILLING TO BUDGE, UNWILLING TO SHARE THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY.
CONFEDERATES NEVER DID LIKE U.S GOVERNMENT POLICY, BECAUSE THERE WAS LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ABOLISH THEIR SLAVERY, SO THE NARROW MINDED CREEPS, WENT TO WAR ABOUT IT AND LOST, BIG TIME!
WHY DON'T THEY JUST JET?
THAT'S RIGHT, THEY'RE TAKING, [THE DINOSAUR TRAIN!
UNPATRIOTIC ACTS...

AND BOOTSY HAD A VERY UNIQUE AUDIO THANKS TO GEORGE CLINTON, WHO HAD PURCHASED, SOMETHING CALLED [MUTRON II] CREATING A SIGNATURE SOUND!
GEORGE CLINTON KNEW IT WOULD BE A SMASH, AND BLAST THE FUNK AND BOOTSY TO NEW HEIGHTS.
GEORGE CLINTON WAS RIGHT, THE "MOTHERSHIP HAS LANDED" RIGHT SMACK DAB IN THE PAGES OF HISTORY, AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE IN WASHINGTON, DC.
HOUSING CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY...
(5?.) IN THE WAKE OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DEVELOPED A SYSTEM OF FEDERAL AGENCIES AIMED AT BUILDING COMMUNITY WEALTH THROUGH HOMEOWNERSHIP.
THIS VAST NETWORK BUILT WEALTH AT THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY LEVEL FOR MILLIONS OF WHITE PEOPLE — YES ONLY IF THEY WERE WHITE.
BUILDING ON CENTURIES OF INEQUALITIES, THESE DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES AND SYSTEMIC RACIST PRACTICES LED TO RAMPANT SEGREGATION. AN ANNAL REPORT RELEASED BY THE NATIONAL FAIR HOUSING ALLIANCE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPACT SEGREGATION HAS HAD ON FAIR HOUSING, AS WELL AS THE WAYS IN WHICH [CURRENT POLICIES] AND PRACTICES CONTINUE TO REINFORCE AND PERPETRATE SEGREGATION AND INEQUALITY.
“THE CASE FOR FAIR HOUSING,” COMPILES DATA FROM A LARGE SWATH OF FAIR HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PROVIDE A CONTEMPORARY SNAPSHOT OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION. HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST STRIKING FINDINGS FROM THE REPORT.
THERE WERE 28,181 COMPLAINTS OF HOUSING DISCRIMINATION IN 2016. THESE COMPLAINTS TOOK MANY FORMS: A COLLEGE DENYING A STUDENT OF A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS; DENIAL OF MOBILE HOME RENTALS TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN APPLICANTS; DISCRIMINATORY CONCENTRATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING; REFUSAL TO RENT TO PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES; HOUSING DISCRIMINATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND SITES LIKE AIRBNB; DISCRIMINATORY TARGETING OF PREDATORY LENDING AGAINST BORROWERS REFINANCING THEIR MORTGAGES; OR DISCRIMINATORY MAINTENANCE AND MARKETING OF BANK-OWNED, POST-FORECLOSURE PROPERTIES.
THIS NUMBER LIKELY IS WAY LOW. MOST PEOPLE DON’T REPORT RACIAL, ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS HOUSING DISCRIMINATION. NFHA ESTIMATES THAT MORE THAN 4 MILLION CASES OF SYSTEMIC RACIST HOUSING DISCRIMINATION OCCUR EACH YEAR.
TIME WE PIGGY-BACKED THESE CASES, OF PURPORTED [CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY].
NO MORE DRUNK DRIVING...
(55.) WITH AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, THERE IS ZERO POSSIBILITY OF ROAD-RAGE, DRUNKEN DRIVING, DIZZINESS, TAIL-GATING, RUNNING REDS, WRECKLESS-SPEEDING, WRECKLESS-DRIVING, EXCESSIVE HORN BLOWS OR THE DRIVER GETTING DROWSY, ALL OF THE ABOVE, CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS.
REMOVING THE MARGIN OF HUMAN ERROR, UNDOUBTEDLY WOULD LEAD TO A MARKED DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS AND MAKE THE ROADS SAFER, LESS CONGESTED, CONSERVE GAS AND SAVE MANY LIVES, INSTANTLY REINVENTING A FUEL-EFFICIENT REVOLUTION IN DRIVING CULTURE.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES USE TURN SIGNALS 100% OF THE TIME. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ELEMINATE TEXT AND DRIVE, DRUNK AND DRIVE INCIDENTS.
THEY ARE PROGRAMMED TO ALLOW EMERGENCY VEHICLES SAFE PASSAGE.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ARE PROGRAMMED NOT TO RUSH THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT, BUT TO DETECT RED LIGHT RUNNERS, THEN PROCEED THROUGH CROSSING TRAFFIC.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AT A FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN, WILL OUT PERFORM HUMANS, BECAUSE THE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ARE PROGRAMED TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT, FIRST PASSAGE AT ALL TIMES!
AUTONOMOUS SAFETY, LESS FATALIES...
(54.) HOW SAFE ARE AUTONOMOUS CARS? SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING THE USE OF SELF-DRIVING TECHNOLOGY IS A HOTLY CONTESTED AND DIVISIVE ISSUE.
AT A TIME WHEN PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES IS STILL LOW, IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT THE APPREHENSION WOULD STILL LINGER.
THIS WOULD MAKE THE POPULARIZING AUTONOMOUS TECHNOLOGY A MORE DIFFICULT TASK.
LET'S TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW SAFE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES REALLY ARE.
IT IS WORTH ASKING AT THIS POINT WHETHER DISTRUST OF AUTONOMOUS TECHNOLOGY HAS A SEMBLANCE OF THE REAL TRUTH AND IS IT BACKED BY SOME AUTHORITATIVE RESEARCH, OR JUST A NATURAL APPREHENSION ACCORDING TO THE [WHO], APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION PEOPLE DIE DUE TO ROAD ACCIDENTS EVERY YEAR.
AND MOST OF THE ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED DUE TO [AVOIDABLE] REASONS.
CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MORE THAN 90% OF FATAL CAR CRASHES ARE CAUSED DUE TO HUMAN NEGLIGENCE, THE ASSERTION THAT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WOULD NOT LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF CAR CRASHES, IS SIMPLY ABSURD, AND DEFIES EVEN THE MOST ELEMENTARY LOGIC.
WITH AUTONOMOUS CARS, THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF DRUNKEN DRIVING, DIZZINESS OR THE DRIVER GETTING DROWSY, WHICH CAUSES A LOT OF ACCIDENTS.
ALSO, IN THE CASE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE COLLISIONS, STUDIES HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT OFTEN THE CASE OF A TECHNICAL GLITCH OR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, BUT HUMAN BEINGS, DARTING ACROSS THE STREETS, CHANGING LANES SUDDENLY, TEXTING WHILE WALKING AND NOT OBSERVING ALL THE TRAFFIC RULES, OR SIMPLY BEING STUPEFIED BY THE SIGHT OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE.
IN THE FUTURE, AS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EVOLVES, AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WOULD BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS OF THE PEDESTRIANS AND PREPARE THEMSELVES ACCORDINGLY.
THE MONITORING SYSTEM OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES THAT CONSISTS OF POWERFUL SENSORS AND LIDARS VIEW THE OBJECTS AHEAD, WITH MUCH MORE CLARITY, PRECISION AND A 360-DEGREE VIEW THAN THE HUMAN EYE AND THEN CHART THE ROUTE OF THE CAR ACCORDINGLY.
While autonomous cars are good at identifying hurdles ahead, it cannot distinguish between pedestrians and inanimate objects.
Also Read: What is the role of LiDAR in autonomous vehicles?
Nevertheless, the metrics of safety considerations cannot overrule autonomous cars because, in any given time and situation, they are statistically safer than human-driven cars, and intelligent AI-powered systems are immune to the foibles and temperamental indiscretions of humans.
What is needed is setting public expectations and gradually erasing doubts that the citizens have.
Along with companies like Waymo, governments should also step in to allay the fears and disseminate the advantages of autonomous cars — that range from reduction in fuel consumption, less traffic congestion to the decreased probability of a collision.
A framework conducive to emerging enterprises and minimal regulations that promote and incentivize innovation is needed, in addition to a dedicated task force and participatory approach between governments and private industry.
No system is engineered to be absolutely free from the probability of error margin.
The error margin can only be made negligible and then the cause of the error can be identified and rectified with a permanent effect.
In autonomous cars, because of extensive research and cutting-edge technical equipment used, the error margin is already very low, and it is possible that it may be obliterated altogether once the test phase is over and the technology incorporates new innovations.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ENORMOUS POTENTIAL OF AUTONOMOUS CAR TECHNOLOGY AND THE BENEFITS IT HAS IN STORE FOR THE SOCIETY, TO WRITE IT OFF AND SPELL DOOM IS AKIN TO THROWING AWAY THE BABY'S PACIFIER ALONG WITH THE BATHWATER!
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES COULD IMPACT OUR LIVES INTRIGUED BY THE INTERSECTIONS OF SOCIETY, POLITICS, POPULAR CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY, THE KEY TO UNRAVELING PRESENT COMPLEXITIES LIE IN THE WISDOM OF THE PAST.
HOUSING DISCRIMINATION, ACROSS THE NATION...
MOUNT RUSHMORE TRUTH...
(52.) THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF MOUNT RUSHMORE: A KKK SYMPATHIZER/MEMBER BUILT THE MONUMENT ON SACRED LAKOTA LAND.
As tribal governments call on President Trump to cancel his Mount Rushmore Independence Day celebration, we look at why Native Americans have long pushed for the removal of the monument carved into the sacred Black Hills and designed by a sculptor with ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
“This place is very, very sacred to our people,” says Nick Tilsen, president and CEO of the NDN Collective.
“Stealing our land and then carving the faces of four white men who were colonizers, who committed genocide against Indigenous people, is an egregious act of violence.”

THE SLAVERY SYSTEMIC RACISM...
(42.) HOW SLAVERY HELPED BUILD A WORLD ECONOMY!
THE SLAVERY SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES WAS A NATIONAL SYSTEM THAT TOUCHED THE VERY SOUL OF IT'S ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LIFE.
AFRICAN PEOPLE'S WERE CAPTURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE AMERICAS TO WORK.
Most European colonial economies in the Americas from the 16th through the 19th century were dependent on enslaved African labor for their survival.
According to European colonial officials, the abundant land they had "discovered" in the Americas was useless without sufficient labor to exploit it.
Slavery systems of labor exploitation were preferred, but neither European nor Native American sources proved adequate to the task.
The trans-Saharan slave trade had long supplied enslaved African labor to work on sugar plantations in the Mediterranean alongside white slaves from Russia and the Balkans.
This same trade also sent as many as 10,000 slaves a year to serve owners in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Iberian Peninsula.
Having proved themselves competent workers in Europe and on nascent sugar plantations on the Madeira and Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, enslaved Africans became the labor force of choice in the Western Hemisphere—so much so that they became the overwhelming majority of the colonial populations of the Americas.
The remaining 5.5 million were African. An average of 80 percent of these enslaved Africans—men, women, and children—were employed, mostly as field-workers.
Women as well as children worked in some capacity.
Only very young children (under six), the elderly, the sick, and the infirm escaped the day-to-day work routine.
More than half of the enslaved African captives in the Americas were employed on sugar plantations.
Sugar developed into the leading slave-produced commodity in the Americas.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Brazil dominated the production of sugarcane.
One of the earliest large-scale manufacturing industries was established to convert the juice from the sugarcane into sugar, molasses, and eventually rum, the alcoholic beverage of choice of the triangular trade.
Ironically, the profits made from the sale of these goods in Europe, as well as the trade in these commodities in Africa, were used to purchase more slaves.
During the 18th century, Saint Domingue (Haiti) surpassed Brazil as the leading sugar-producing colony.
The number of slaves brought to the tiny island of Haiti equaled more than twice the number imported into the United States. The vast majority came during the 18th century to work in the expanding sugar plantation economy.
The Haitian Revolution abolished slavery there and led to the establishment of the first black republic in the Americas.
It also ended Haiti's dominance of world sugar production.
Cuba assumed this position during the 19th century, and even after slavery was abolished there in 1886, sugar remained the foundation of its economy and its primary export commodity throughout the 20th century. Sugar was also produced by slave labor in the other Caribbean islands as well as in Louisiana in the United States.
During the colonial period in the United States, tobacco was the dominant slave-produced commodity.
Concentrated in Virginia and Maryland, tobacco plantations utilized the largest percentage of enslaved Africans imported into the United States prior to the American Revolution. Rice and indigo plantations in South Carolina also employed enslaved African labor.
The American Revolution cost Virginia and Maryland their principal European tobacco markets, and for a brief period of time after the Revolution, the future of slavery in the United States was in jeopardy.
Most of the northern states abolished it, and even Virginia debated abolition in the Virginia Assembly.
The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 gave slavery a new life in the United States.
Between 1800 and 1860, slave-produced cotton expanded from South Carolina and Georgia to newly colonized lands west of the Mississippi.
This shift of the slave economy from the upper South (Virginia and Maryland) to the lower South was accompanied by a comparable shift of the enslaved African population to the lower South and West.
After the abolition of the slave trade in 1808, the principal source of the expansion of slavery into the lower South was the domestic slave trade from the upper South.
By 1850, 1.8 million of the 2.5 million enslaved Africans employed in agriculture in the United States were working on cotton plantations.
The vast majority of enslaved Africans employed in plantation agriculture were field hands. Even on plantations, however, they worked in other capacities. Some were domestics and worked as butlers, waiters, maids, seamstresses, and launderers.
Others were assigned as carriage drivers, hostlers, and stable boys. Artisans—carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, millers, coopers, spinners, and weavers—were also employed as part of plantation labor forces.
Enslaved Africans also worked in urban areas.
Upward of ten percent of the enslaved African population in the United States lived in cities. Charleston, Richmond, Savannah, Mobile, New York, Philadelphia, and New Orleans all had sizable slave populations.
In the southern cities they totaled approximately a third of the population.
The range of slave occupations in cities was vast.
Domestic servants dominated, but there were carpenters, fishermen, coopers, draymen, sailors, masons, bricklayers, blacksmiths, bakers, tailors, peddlers, painters, and porters.
Although most worked directly for their owners, others were hired out to work as skilled laborers on plantations, on public works projects, and in industrial enterprises.
A small percentage hired themselves out and paid their owners a percentage of their earnings.
Each plantation economy was part of a larger national and international political economy. The cotton plantation economy, for instance, is generally seen as part of the regional economy of the American South.
By the 1830s, "cotton was king" indeed in the South. It was also king in the United States, which was competing for economic leadership in the global political economy.
Plantation-grown cotton was the foundation of the antebellum southern economy. But the American financial and shipping industries were also dependent on slave-produced cotton. So was the British textile industry.
Cotton was not shipped directly to Europe from the South.
Rather, it was shipped to New York and then transshipped to England and other centers of cotton manufacturing in the United States and Europe.
As the cotton plantation economy expanded throughout the southern region, banks and financial houses in New York supplied the loan capital and/or investment capital to purchase land and slaves.
Recruited as an inexpensive source of labor, enslaved Africans in the United States also became important economic and political capital in the American political economy.
Enslaved Africans were legally a form of property—a commodity. Individually and collectively, they were frequently used as collateral in all kinds of business transactions.
They were also traded for other kinds of goods and services.
The value of the investments slaveholders held in their slaves was often used to secure loans to purchase additional land or slaves.
Slaves were also used to pay off outstanding debts.
When calculating the value of estates, the estimated value of each slave was included.
This became the source of tax revenue for local and state governments.
Taxes were also levied on slave transactions.
Politically, THE U.S. CONSTITUTION INCORPORATED A FEATURE THAT MADE ENSLAVED AFRICANS POLITICAL CAPITOL—TO THE BENEFIT OF SOUTHERN STATES.
The nefarious three-fifths compromise allowed the southern states to count their slaves as three-fifths of a person for purposes of calculating states' representation in the U.S. Congress.
Thus the balance of power between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states turned, in part, on the three-fifths presence of enslaved Africans in the census.
Slaveholders were taxed on the same three-fifths principle, and no taxes paid on slaves supported the national treasury. In sum, the slavery system in the United States was a national "systemic racist" system that touched the very soul of its economic and political life.
