Friend of mine today is being completely dragged by a group she is a member of because she dare state that she supports the police and military. Their irrational position is that if you don't support BLM then you must be racist or if you Back-the-Blue, you must be racist.

How do you reconcile black americans that support police and that support for police is racist? How do you reconcile black/latino/asian police officers as being racist? Left of center is a mental disorder.

I can't speak for any of you really, but after witnessing the last three weeks of burning, rioting, and looting. And seeing the rise of a new political movement in the form of BLM. I do not find it mysterious any longer as to how the Nazis came into power. We are witnessing it real time, but with some twists. Certainly they don't have the homogeneity of race but they are organized and starting to become militant.

They have selected an enemy of the country in the police and white people. They aren't shy about it and have been talking about eliminating white people for years now. Cenk Unger cackled gleefully at whites becoming a minority in the USA. In the upper echelon of state government HR in Washington State, their spoken policy is not hiring "cis-white males". They know well enough to not put that statement in writing due to record retention requirements but all policy can be crafted around that same idea.

They've been incensing the nation with bat shit crazy ideas like systemic racism and white privileged. They utilize intersectionality to create artificial power dynamics.

But it gets woefully worse when companies like Google ally with them. Just today Google began their process of deplatforming The Federalist and ZeroHedge at the behest of NBC. They censor or outright ban any voices on the right by creating baseline policies like not being able to criticize trans people by putting it under the brand of "hate speech" or "not following community guidelines."

And this all becomes our current lived reality with the weakness of all leaders willing to bend the knee. We don't have any strong leaders. In any organization at any level except the presidency, but one man can only do so much. All of our churches, schools, police, mayors, governors, businesses, etc... all of them failed miserably. Yesterday the Supreme Court fucked all of us on 2A rights and they might have fucked us all on 1A rights as well.

So let me get the the point...

What I'm bracing myself for is who is their Adolf Hitler that hasn't risen yet. There isn't a leader as of yet that is their clarion call. And that is where my prediction comes in. I might be wrong but I have this notion that Michelle Obama will be Joe Biden's running mate. She is well liked according to all polling and adds a veneer to Biden's campaign that he lacks.

He's already stated that is probably going to be a woman and I can think if no one better to solidify the democratic base with BLM. And with all of Joe Biden's apparent mental problems, he is ripe for stepping aside early in his presidency due to health concerns so we can have our first African American Female President.

Spez: To add a final thought on my last sentence. That is the distilled appeal of having Michelle on the ticket and with that all of the policies that are anathema.

I work in state government and received an email from the secretary of our department. Below are his words, not mine.

Our fellow XXXXX employees who are black or are people of color, or who are also affected by the tragic, senseless murders of Black Americans are not ok. It’s not just the events of the last week that are traumatizing; it’s a pervasive legacy of generational trauma and systemic racism that makes these recent events a painful reminder that we are all not yet equal as people. It’s acknowledging that while many things unite us as co-workers, there are very real lived experiences tied directly to the color of one’s skin that some of us can’t begin to comprehend.

Without question, exercising our right to peacefully assemble to voice our concerns is raising awareness globally. That said, the violence we see in our communities is hard to watch. Please reserve judgement about the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to protest. Let’s not have that be yet another thing that divides us. At the core, I believe we are seeing grief and for anyone that has or is grieving, we each express grief differently.

What can each of us do today? Start with kindness and listen to the experiences of people of color. Listen and pause. Don’t react or debate or make these experiences about you, if you are white. Commit to learning about experiences different than your own and avail yourself of resources and trainings personally and professionally. Take the time to learn what privilege means, how to be a better ally and to understand your own biases. I will share a list of resources and trainings that I and others have used in a future, separate message. Encourage and be part of respectful dialogue. These conversations are not easy, but we can and must talk about racism to be part of the solutions. These are just a few actions we can each take to dismantle the racism that endures in our nation.
