Before Emmett Till, 23-year-old George Armwood was dragged from jail, hanged and burnt in 1933. My Comment
The examples of racist actions
against persons of color in this nation are heartbreaking. Who could ever perpetrate a
violent act against a human being only because their skin is dictated by
melanin DNA? It's ridiculous on its face. Nonetheless it is the
essence of who some of us are. I did not learn its reality until my
college years. I remembered though a girl in my high school class who
was a person of color and also was running for secretary of the class.
When she told me she was running she said she knew she would not win. I
asked her why. She said at that time because she was black. I was
incredulous because she was extraordinarily smart and nice. She was
also right because she did not win as she knew she would not. It makes
me sad that I did not realize it then but surely I do now. Black
people in this nation have been much sinned against. I can only do what
I can do and vote for those who understand racism's place in US history and make sure I
do not perpetuate the sin!

Pompeo says God may have sent Trump to save Israel from Iran -- My Comment -- Coming soon to a theater near you.
Oh sure God sent a sexual
predator, a liar, an extreme narcissist, a spasmodic antiSemite
and a general racist to this nation to save Israel. Trump knows nothing and reads nothing. The
assassination of the Iranian major force Soleimani will surely not expedite
peace in that region or help Israel. In fact, it will promote more violence. Our Secretary of State is as delusional as
Trump.
The mentally
incompetent unfit-for-the-presidency Trump has ensured the fact that
this nation without democratic allies alienated by Trump will be at war
with a nation
Iran almost 4 times the size of Iraq and with twice as many people.
"Iran has over 5 times as many
military personnel as Iraq" according to Capitol Comments. We
know how swimmingly the war in Iraq went for the US as thousands of
American lives and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were sacrificed for a
lie. The US is still there. The war in Iraq destabilized the entire
Middle East region.
A war with Iran will do the same except by multiples.
After the defeat and removal of Sunni Saddam Hussein, Iraq has been ruled by Shia, the Sunni adversary.
The Iran/Iraq war cost more than a million lives. Iran would be
willing to lose many lives in its war with the US. Iraq has become a
proxy state for Shia Iran and has a caretaker government that will act
on the command of Iran hitting US troops at Iran's will. Iraq may even
kick out all American military personnel.
The
assassination of Soleimani is making and will make the
Middle East world more explosive and will have implications for millions
on every continent. Iran has proxy states all over the Middle East
and, in fact, the world to do Iran's violent bidding wherever it wants
and at a time of its choosing.
The
war weary US cannot and I aver will not endure yet another decades long
endless Middle East war costing trillions with the potential for even
the ultimate involvement of other adversarial world powers such as China
and Russia on the side of Iran. The US by this one careless,
impulsive, foolhardy action by Trump going against, we now know, many of
Trump's advisers to the extent he has any left, assassinating
Soleimani, in Iran a much loved and powerful leader who commanded
insurgents all over the world will do nothing but create more violent
explosions and the US knows not where or when. Indeed, Soleimani has
already been replaced.
