We are in the midst of another @GOP lie. Every call to stop the impeachment process is disingenuous a best, more likely treasonous. Consider this: our nation's Capitol was attacked at the behest and call of the President of the United States. How is it wrong to hold him accountable? Republicans in Congress keep saying … Continue reading Divisive?

This IS Who We Are
"This is not who we are". That statement is false. What happened this week in Washington is exactly who we are, at least when the “we” is white America. We have a long history of mob violence, white mob violence, being directed at either government or people of color. A prime example is the "Wilmington … Continue reading This IS Who We Are
Thoughts on “The Black Family”
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the “Black family”. No, not the “normal” thoughts that seem to prevail. Not the thoughts of Barack Obama when he blamed Black men for not showing up for their families, their children. He’s not the only one. Years ago Bill Cosby said the same thing. There have been … Continue reading Thoughts on “The Black Family”
A Reminder
It's called "Operation Warp Speed", not "Operation Short Cut".#sciencematters#factsmatter#GetVaccinated
We Have Failed
OK. I'm going to be more specific. People who look like me, like most of you will read this, have failed. We as white people have failed to end racism. We could have, but we quit. It got too hard so we walked away. I'm watching a four part documentary by Dr. Henry Louis Gate … Continue reading We Have Failed

This original posting was done to support attacks being directed at her as a Black woman. Her name has been changed to XXXXX. I think that too many people don't … Continue reading Thoughts on Racism…

Thoughts on the Women’s March
It was nearly four years ago, four years of chaos, of hate, of Donald Trump's messed up behavior. I've been thinking a lot about the march lately. I wrote about it before I had a blog. I created this blog as part of my fight against hate, lies, and the presidency of the orange one. … Continue reading Thoughts on the Women’s March
A Poll Worker
I'm tired today. I suspect a lot of us are, life has been like that lately. Yet today, I don't mean the tired in my heart, in my soul, sort of tired. I'm referring to the normal, I didn't get enough sleep, tired. And, no, it wasn't because I stayed up way too late waiting … Continue reading A Poll Worker
Hard Questions
I posted this earlier to an Antiracist chat group I created on Facebook. I'm open to hearing your thoughts. A friend, who is also a member of this group (who can say "it was me" if they choose to), asked on a separate thread: Can Black people be racist? Frankly, it's a hard question and … Continue reading Hard Questions
