"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

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

A friend read what I posted earlier, asked if I am safe, well. I am. I'll ask his forgiveness for this statement: I think he knew I was well and recognized that we had been out of touch for a while and needed to reconnect. And we'll meet soon. I am well. And thank you … Continue reading I am well

I'm just fucking tired of people using disconnected facts to prove things that are not true. Just listened to CNN and Kamau Bell do this Larry Bird, the Celtics, Magic Johnson thing about racism. Tired. Yeah, Larry was white. Still is, near as I can tell. But a white guy on the Celtics to prove … Continue reading Tired

I don't know how else to say it. Let it happen. Let COVID-19 run rampant, run wild. Yes, protect yourself. Wear a mask. Socially distance. Bubble, protect your family. Sanitize. And endure. Because Darwin is at work. Think about this: a handful of states are doing well. They, we, rejected Trump's ignorance, his rejection of … Continue reading Let It Happen

So apparently the #asswipeinchief, you know who I mean, said that #BLM is about hate. I've said enough. I don't need say more about his stupidity and disgusting behavior. I will say this: I am tired of hearing that Black Lives Matter. Yeah, get over it. I just wrote that. And someone will use that … Continue reading Black Lives Matter

I was a bit offended today. I stood on a corner, holding my sign that includes #BLM. There was a woman, in her 70's, seemed lost, confused. Later I flagged down a police officer, said please look, this woman may need help. Then we talked, for almost an hour. The takeaway? He is as disgusted … Continue reading Who the fuck is David (first installment)?

Not words. One word. I am white. Male. 59 years old. Want to break down racism to a simple term? There is NO word that can be used to denigrate, to hurt, to belittle me like that word. You know the one. Simple thing: racism is about power and control. Anyone, not black/AA, is there … Continue reading Racism, Words

David is angry. Live with it. If it bothers you? Unfollow. If you are too? Ask a friend to join, to add to my list, to share. And.... I am an angry white man. Old, fucking, I feel old. Ask yourself this: why did I hold a sign today that said "I will not turn … Continue reading Sorry
