What some politically correct people call bias is really just Artificial Intelligent (AI) observation of the actual environment. So, what’s wrong with that – AI used probability when making decisions – ever heard of it? Everyone should. If a human fails to take into consideration what it experiences in its environment to make its decisions, then one could say; It Isn’t Intelligent.

There was an interesting article in Accelerating Intelligence, the newsletter for the Singularity Institute titled: “The Struggle to Make AI Less Biased than Its Creators,” by Peter Rejcek, published to the Singularity Hub website. The article stated:

“The dirty little secret is out about artificial intelligence. No, not the one about machines taking over the world. That’s an old one. This one is more insidious. Data scientists, AI experts and others have long suspected it would be a problem. AI is prejudiced; Sexism, Ageism, Racism, name an ism, and more likely than not, the results produced by our machines have a bias in one or more ways. But an emerging think tank dubbed: ‘Diversity.AI’ believes our machines can do better than their creators when it comes to breaking down stereotypes and other barriers to inclusion.”

Of course, this article came from a leftist socialist academic skew and POV (point of view) so we can take it for what it’s worth. Yes, the article gave numerous examples of AI outputs on questions asked, and we all remember when Google’s Image AI search labeled Gorillas as Black (African American) Human Beings, which is about as racist as you can get, but it was a simple mistake due to measuring nostril size, head size, jaw bones, facial features, eye color, hair color and skin color. Should we be offended? No, but perhaps work does need to be done on that FRT (Facial Recognition Technology) AI Algorithm.

Besides true machine learning, must learn, that means make mistakes, and have successes and learn from those as it gets ‘smarter’ right? The author of the article cited above stated; “AI is prejudice; Sexism, Ageism, Racism, name an ism,” well I guess we are told so is Donald Trump and we elected him president, maybe we should elect an AI system to run the country in that case? Ah, made you think didn’t I?

Should we really be re-programming AI to be “Artificial Unintelligent” instead? Just as we are dummying down our society to believe what they observe is wrong, for a more politically correct version? I don’t believe that is wise, or intelligent myself. Maybe our AI is smarter than we give it credit for and we are the stupid ones pretending and living a lie from actual and real observations? Maybe we can learn from AI to be better and more intelligent versions of ourselves. Celebrate Diversity – Don’t Ever Force It. Think on this.

The Native American image has always been romanticized and admired for its heroism and bravery. Many see the use of their image as warriors and braves in American sports mascots as a way to pay homage to Native Americans, but many would also argue that these mascots demean their native traditions and rituals.

This opposition to mascots that portray Native Americans in a negative light started out as a campaign during the 1960s by a group called the National Congress of American Indians. They strongly believe that sports teams using mascots with names like the Braves and Redskins only serve as negative stereotypes of their people. They claim that fans wearing war paint, chicken feather headdresses, and waving rubber tomahawks, are offensive, demeaning, and racist.

Those who disagree point out that team names like Warriors and Braves represent fighting men just like those of other cultures. It isn’t unlike the use of team names such as Vikings, Minutemen, or Musketeers. Nicknames like the Fighting Irish, Flying Dutchmen, Trojans, and Spartans (just to name a few) are not regarded as offensive, so the use of Native American nicknames should not be interpreted as having racist or demeaning connotations.

There does seem to be a disconnect between Indian activists opposed to Indian team names and mascots, and the Native American population who are not. Over ninety percent of American Indians and a majority of U.S. sports fans surveyed find the names and mascots to be acceptable.

Some college teams have decided to make changes out of respect to Native American culture. Use of these racial mascots in elementary, middle and high school sports teams has become a concern. The claim is that the youth are not being taught to respect certain ethnic groups and these stereotypes will only promote racism. The lack of sports mascots based on Americans of African, Asian, and Mexican descent only supports claims made by opponent groups that Native Americans are being singled out.

Supporters in the use of Native American mascots insist that they are meant to be respectful and only serve to pay homage to the Indian people. Far from being derogatory, these mascots are seen as ideal for sports teams because they focus on bravery, courage, and fighting skills.

But there is also a financial impact and cost to consider. Changing team names and mascots would affect the merchandise that generates millions of dollars in sales each year. Opponents don’t care about the negative financial cost to the team franchises. All they want is a change in how Americans view real Indian culture and traditions. They believe this change will replace the trivialized way they are seen and hopefully erase the racial stereotyping they feel they have had to endure for too long.

“Life is polarized activity, a dynamic polarity” – Georges Canguilhem

Going far beyond an individual’s behavioral choice (or choices, if the individual has more than one option he/she/they could choose from) the pandemic provides example after example how a person’s life situation can impact his/her/their health. Life.

Health – as we know – is socially determined. Factors known as “social determinants of health” influence beyond the biological processes of a disease. As it is well-known and verifiable, access to health insurance, food security, housing security, transportation, personal safety, structural racism, and other factors contribute to 80 to 90 percent of public health outcomes.

That is, the conditions in which people live, work, laugh, and suffer influence the ways in which individuals give and seek care, heal and die. Life is polarized activity.

In specific communities – particularly marked by poverty and vulnerability – the need to speak about social spaces of instability and turbulence is evident. Is relevant. Is obvious. And how we all must take part in finding solutions through meaning making actions is clear. Is a must. Is overdue. Dynamic polarity.

“It’s important to say, we’re thinking about this. We’re measuring that. We’re capturing this, we have information about it.”

Participation that cannot, should not, need not… only consist of gathering, practicing and transmitting knowledge regarding – for instance – health, hygienic and preventive measures. Real participation entails much more than that. It’s not only partaking. It’s becoming part, even if divisions are felt, were put in place, turn out to be challenging… Life is polarized.

“A study from 2019 found that just 24 percent of hospitals and 16 percent of physician practices asked people about things like food insecurity, housing instability, transportation needs, and violence in their personal lives.”

Participation must also include and prioritize the political and social aspects participating itself entails. Polarized activity.

It’s not only lack, scarcity, absence of money, resources, opportunities, possibilities and options… that lead to inequities, it’s also an inability, a limited possibility, a low probability to socially participate and live a dignified life in which people have control over their circumstances. Life is.

“Addressing social determinants could make a meaningful difference to health if we consider that poverty, racism, and housing aren’t just correlated with poor outcomes, but can actually cause them. COVID-19 is laying that truth bare, and presenting us with an opportunity for policy making that aggressively hones in on social determinants-both to get us out of the pandemic safely, and for future health outcomes.” VICE NEWS

Of all the concepts I have created to help people overcome feeling emotional pain stemming from manipulations by the people you love or have to deal with, this has been the most widely praised.

If a plane flies into a mountain, everyone dies and the mountain gets damaged. If a plane flies through a cloud, no one is hurt, neither the passengers nor the cloud. Thus the goal is to become a cloud instead of a mountain for a pain-free life.

If someone gives you a gift, and you do not accept it, who does it belong to?

It stays with the giver.

Any verbal attack is just a knife put on the table. You have to pick up that knife to take the words personally, in order to feel pain or anger or guilt. If you leave that knife on the table, then it cannot hurt you.

Being a cloud means to allow all attacks to pass through you like the plane, without being affected in any negative way whatsoever. You become totally immune to emotional attacks and manipulation, and simultaneously become pure in heart and filled with compassion that makes you the one everyone admires and loves.

To make my point, let’s talk about dealing with racism. Racism is stupid, there is no other way to put it. So if someone is being racist to you, a random verbal attack, that person is showing they are stupid. So why should you care or be hurt by a stupid person?

Let them attack, they can say what they want, a cloud will never be affected, only a mountain will. Let’s explore in detail how to achieve this emotional freedom.

Before I can present the concept, we first need to have a small preamble of principles to form the framework that we can build the concept on. There is nothing radical in this framework, but you do need to have an open mind and just take it all as an example in case you find yourself resisting any concept. All I can ask, if you disagree with any point, is for you to take each point objectively and think about it. I will state this obvious fact: if you disagree and just shut your mind down before we finish, you have found the cause of all the troubles in your life, you are closed-minded, so of course you are going to get into conflicts.

All your emotions; positive and negative, joy and anger, all reside in one place, which is your mind. They are not physical in the sense of a hammer smashing your toe like a physical attack, or an ice cream you eat that generates a taste sensation. Emotions are experienced by an event that you become aware of in your mind, which then results in an emotional reaction. This is clear because if you are deaf and blind, you could never hear or see anything, being totally oblivious to everything as if you are in a coma, you could not have an emotional reactions to anything anyone says or does, because you would not know it happened.

All humans are exactly the same, except that everyone is different. The basic function of the way the human mind and ego functions is the same, but individuals are different based on how they each formed their personality.

There is one common need in every human being, the need of companionship. This is another topic but if you think about it, everything you and anyone does, ultimately serves the need to be liked. Thus being all the same, we can understand everyone by understanding ourselves.

Being a cloud is based on the analogy that we are all either a mountain or a cloud. Simply put, you can hit a mountain but you cannot hit a cloud.

A mountain can be built through piling rocks upon rocks. However, becoming a cloud is by removing material. What are the ‘rocks’ or ‘materials’ to be removed?

Rocks and materials are metaphors for mental concepts; thoughts, opinions, beliefs, hangups, inhibitions, fears, boundaries, dislikes etc. all combined called in a word, your ego.

Unlike building a house where you would call a supplier to deliver the materials, mental concepts have been force-fed to you, and you willingly gobbled them up without checking if the fruit has been washed from the contaminated box it came in. You have been fed poison and disease thinking you were getting nutritious food. Hepatitis or any virus is often in a droplet of water that is in or on the surface of something you eat and gets into your mental and physical organism.

The source of this mental programming is from both obvious and subtle sources. Your parents and family, religion, books, courses, social media, political movements, activists, movies, TV, advertisements, famous people selling their opinions, etc. Basically, any information that reaches your mind in any way, be you aware of that or not, is material building your mountain. Of course there is material that is presented to help you remove mental material, but it can be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The Cloud concept is not feeding you any material, but rather offering you a simple concept to differentiate what is removing and what is building the mountain. I know, sounds hypocritical, but as I said at the start, just read on with an open mind to the end.

The next concept: The part of your being that ‘eats’ these mental concepts.

To become a cloud isn’t actually becoming anything. It’s removing the opinions and boundaries which make you feel pain.

They are removed through developing true compassion. Compassion is not really about feeling sorry for another person, that just pity.

Compassion means to understand what is really happening within the other person, what they are feeling and why they are doing what they do.

Compassion is Understanding

With understanding, in the deepest sense of understanding, meaning objectively and not just with your opinion of what you think you understand, why another person is attacking you by knowing their pain is causing them to behave that way, your understanding becomes true compassion. This is: ‘becoming selfless’.

Compassion is therefore the same as being humble, being selfless, meaning, it’s not about you. This is mastering the ego.

The exercise to make you able and efficient at this process is to repetitively observe yourself when you are getting angry or attacking anyone. Even if you feel your anger is justified, you must still look for the reason you are really angry. Obviously there are going to be times when you feel justified, but let’s take a couple of examples to show you what to look for.

Your child runs into the street. You scream and yell and get angry. But you are not really angry, you are scared, you do not want to lose the child you love. The other and most important type of expression of negative emotions to observe for the point of this transformation, is when you give shit to someone that is not justified. Everyone has yelled at a server in a café or a co-worker or your partner or child and realized that it was totally unjustified, leaving you wondering why you did such a horrible thing. It is usually caused by something else that is bothering you, often unrelated.

By deliberately observing your own instances of anger, finding what is really bothering you that you are venting, you will understand how the human mind and emotions really function by understanding yourself. Then you will understand what drives another person. This is the way to overcome feeling pain or other negative emotions when you are attacked, as the ancient aphorism says; ‘Know Thyself’.

The problem is you’re self-centred, you’ve got an ego, you love self-pity, you’re the centre of your universe thinking everything revolves around you, and you don’t want to know that because if you admit the truth about yourself, it’s not a pretty site.

It’s not always about you. In fact, it rarely is actually about you.

All the current hype is about loving yourself, accepting yourself as you are, you are perfect, awesome and wonderful as you are. The problem is that means you are going to ignore the truth about yourself. Therefore, you will never truly understand how the human being functions. That means you will never have true compassion for another person, and that means you will always take things personally and feel attacked and hurt. You will be a mountain. It is a poisonous concept.

By observing yourself and accepting that you have these self-centred egoistic defects, and that the cure is to see what drives you when you are expressing anger, you will have the understanding and ability to change simply with the knowledge of the truth. “The truth shall set you free.”

When you become free by observing and acknowledging the truth about yourself, not in the personal sense but in the sense of the human species, because every human being is exactly the same in the self-centredness and self-pity and egoistic feeling of being the centre of the universe, you understand what drives everyone: fear, pain and suffering. The need for companionship.

You don’t have to know what their pain is but you know that their attack is due to their pain. Then you will be more understanding and compassionate to let them vent, without you feeling attacked. The plane flies through the cloud instead of crashing into a mountain.

It’s never really about you. They are just venting their pain.

This is how we become a cloud. The exercise is that simple. Observe yourself every time you are angry, rude, insulting, intimidating, manipulating, and realize or observe yourself to see what drove you to do that.

Admitting the pain and suffering you are in, whether it is money, your job, being single or lonely, a bad relationship, bad health, scared of a hopeless future, and that all of your pains are really what make you lash out to people, whether it’s the person serving you coffee or the ones you love the most – your child, parents, spouse. And that the more you observe your own actions and true feelings from the point of view of a scientist or an alien from another world studying human beings, the more you will understand the species, and that will develop the true sense of compassion and selflessness within you. This in turn removes the magnet which draws pain and suffering into your life. In this way you become a cloud.

To give you a bit more encouragement, the part that feels the pain is not natural like the emotional heart. It is an implant. It gets implanted in your mind through the process of trying to control a child with guilt.

As you grow up, your parents, your religion, your culture make you feel inferior so that you are easy to control. If you observe this objectively you can see how religion obviously does that. Parents do that by telling you that you owe them because they gave birth to you and raised you. This is how that organ is implanted into your mind, so what you’re doing is removing an implant that is not natural to the human being as you were born. You are removing the material that built the mountain.

It is very important to understand that this implant is NOT connected to your ability to love and have attachment and care for anyone. That is totally separate. One is love and the other is guilt. It’s like a pacemaker that limits the heart rate so you can never run.

Removing guilt does not remove love and affection and caring for the people in your life. It merely removes all the negative feelings that you have which causes you the pain and suffering. Guilt is actually suppressing your ability to love and be emotionally free. Removing this allows you to love unconditionally, without being manipulated so that your so-called expressions of love and devotion are actually out of avoiding feeling guilty.

This is not a simple thing. To see change may take months or years, but it doesn’t take any time out of your day, so you can easily practice observing yourself and others without any disruption to your normal life. You must be devoted to this path for at least six months to one year or maybe even two years before you start to feel a significant change.

It takes this acceptance of how long the change will take because it is so gradual. You have to fight your habitual pattern of how you function in order to make this change permanent. If you can make the desire that you really want to end the pains you feel, then it will work, but it will take time.

In summary

It’s just breaking a habitual way of behaving through understanding yourself, which is the key, and thus understanding others. That is the first step which leads to an automatic mastery of the self-centred ego which is the cause of all our troubles and pains, and arrogance.

It’s not actually about you, it never really is.

“I hate covert racism. I always hated guessing whether someone is being mean/rude/nervous because they hate my race or because they are having a bad day. As I got older, I noticed that covert racism is like depression: You know it when you feel it, but it’s hard to explain to someone who has never experienced it. It’s like a sixth sense that God has given people of color that white people don’t believe in. We just know.”

In her memoir “Mixed: My Life in Black and White” (2006), Angela Nissel writes of the struggles she faces while growing up biracial. Nissel’s name may be familiar to fans of the NBC comedy series “Scrubs.” She has been a staff writer for the show for four years and is now consulting producer. As a starving artist (a.k.a. freelance writer), Nissel sold some goods on eBay for extra cash. The winning bidder for one of those items was a television executive who had read her first book “The Broke Diaries” (2001), which was about her days as a broke college student. The eBay winner introduced Nissel to a television literary agent who sent copies of “The Broke Diaries” to shows hiring comedy writers. Nissel had numerous job offers, but chose “Scrubs.”

Her knack for sarcastic, quick-witted humor that is a driving force in “Scrubs” is what makes “Mixed” a must read. When Nissel is in the fourth grade, two of her classmates, Jimmy and Michael, call her a zebra. (That isn’t the humorous part.) Nissel’s father finds out and goes to the boys’ houses with Angela. Jimmy’s parents scold their son. However, Michael’s father slams the door in Angela’s father’s face. That father’s dog has been using the Nissels’ yard as a bathroom, so Angela’s father concocts a hilarious scheme involving an Ex-Lax pill. Angela asks her father whether the Ex-Lax will hurt the dog. “‘No, just Michael’s father’s carpets,'” her dad replies.

Later, though, Angela discovers that her father has been cheating on her mother, but even this situation is steeped in humor. “I already knew my parents were having problems and she suspected my father of cheating. (Note to parents: Trying to have cryptic conversations by spelling words out no longer works once your child is reading.) Then later, “Ever since the first argument about my father c-h-e-a-t-i-n-g with w-h-o-r-e-s, my mother had started working a lot….”

The thing about this book is that the comedic moments are also sad ones. And this is Nissel’s strength: She makes you laugh, but she also makes you think. Comments from people about her looks teach her that there is “good” hair and an “ugly” nose. The features people consider pretty are from her white father.

She went to all-black schools, all-white schools, public, private, schools associated with different religions-yet she never fit in. She was never white enough or black enough, so she was the target of merciless teasing. “Being a mixed child, you get used to people staring at you,” she writes. She immediately follows with humor: “I learned that rolling my eyes or sticking out my tongue was the quickest way to get people to avert their gazes.” She learns that being biracial is no easier in the dating world. She notices that of six black male coworkers at a production company, “five had white wives and one was dating an Asian girl.”

The book is filled with Nissel’s struggles, but she doesn’t want you to feel sorry for her; she is explaining how her experiences (good or bad) made her who she is. She makes you care about the people in her life, particularly her mother, who let her daughter change schools and religions-almost as often as she changed her clothes-in an attempt to find herself. Nissel doesn’t censor herself-or anyone else-which makes for brilliant dialogue and unapologetic honesty.

Nautical star tattoos have caused much controversy and heated discussion regarding the true meaning of the design. Over the years, many groups have attempted to tag the design with their own unique interpretation. In addition to the nautical connection, this popular tattoo design has been connected to the military, punk rockers, the lesbian community and the anti-racism movement in recent years.

But what are the origins of the nautical star tattoo? Where did it come from and what did it originally represent?

Almost everybody, without exception, accepts that sailors were the first group of people to wear nautical star tattoos.

In previous centuries, working at sea was a very dangerous and unpredicatable way of life. Sailors had very little to guide them at night, apart from the stars. And the one that they relied upon most was Polaris, or the North Star. As this star is positioned close to the north pole, it appears to be stationary at all times, unlike other stars which appear to move as time passes. This provided early sailors with a fixed reference point. And once they know where the North Star was, they could position their ships accordingly and be reasonably confident that they were going in the right direction.

Over time the North Star became a symbol for finding your way home safely and symbolically finding your way in life. But beyond that, as many sailors were deeply superstitious with a rich history of lore about life and death at sea, they were always looking for lucky charms. So many sailors began to place nautical star tattoos on their forearms or hands as a symbol of good luck and a desire to get home safely.

Skip forward through the centuries and the meaning of the nautical star tattoo has become broader. Not only is it a symbol of the sea, but also a sign of security and guidance for all sailors and travelers. It has also become a sign of following your dreams and achieving success in your life.

However, these is some disagreement concerning the design of the nautical star. Most people accept that the basic design of the nautical star is a five pointed star. But a minority of people claim that the nautical star represents the traditional design of a ship’s compass. This consists of the four cardinal directions, North, South, East, West, and possibly the intermediate directions of North East, South East, South West and North West. So their idea of the nautical star is a four pointed design or even an eight pointed star.

Personally, I think that the five pointed star best represents the design of the nautical star tattoo, especially when you consider that on many nautical maps, north is shown by a compass style five pointed star.

But whatever style of design is selected, one thing is clear; the nautical star has had a long connection with naval tradition and was originally a symbol of finding your way home safely. And while other groups may attempt to link themselves to the use of the nautical star tattoo, the sailors of bygone centuries will always retain the distinction of representing the original interpretation of this iconic tattoo design.

Right now, peaceful protesters are gathering across this nation to exercise their constitutional rights to freedom of speech, to end racism. They are gathering by the thousands in city streets across the US. These protesters are rightfully decrying racial inequality, and recent multiple incidents of police-related brutality, including the murder of Black citizens. They are working towards putting an end to racial prejudice and discrimination, and the scourge of racism in all its forms. Armed only with good will, mega-phones, and picket signs, they are working diligently to be heard to advance their cause. Sometimes peaceful protests are necessary, and that time would be now.

Anarchy, Marxism & Communism

Though challenging for many public authorities, it is important for non-violent protesters to be able to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights to free speech, so central to our American way of life per the Constitution. For many, peaceful protesting is also about freedom of religion as people of conscience unite for a noble and important cause. With the Christian mandate to: Love one another-especially those who are hurting in any way, it all flows together.

Peaceful Protests & the First Amendment

There are good reasons why freedom of speech, and religious freedom, are both included in the First Amendment. They are closely intertwined. Without those two gateway freedoms, our country could easily lose its way, and risk lawlessness, and, eventually, socialism. Many Americans do not realize that socialism is the gateway, the stepping stone if you will, to Marxist communism. Violent anarchy is the primary tool of Socialism and Communism. Both have disdain for personal freedom, and Christianity, on many different levels. That is, they are inconsistent with the American way of life set out by our forefathers, with Judeo-Christian values and practices, and the freedoms we treasure that are inherent to democracy.

Anarchists: Enemies of the American People

One must only took at communist China or Venezuela to see the devastating effects of socialism, and, the restrictive, militant effects of communism on faith practice, where it is too often forbidden. There is a very fine line between socialism and communism, though socialism is introduced and presented as a Utopian society.

Sadly, peaceful protests have been infiltrated by violent anarchists who only seek destruction. Most of the peaceful gatherings were initially meant to be part of a larger, vitally important civil rights movement to put an end to racism. But that process is being derailed by anarchy. In contrast, peaceful protesters lend a caring, strong voice to the fight for racial equality. Too often, the intentions of these peaceful marches are tainted by peaceful protests gone awry, as anarchists shuffle in to subvert their benevolent efforts. Unwelcome visitors all, these entitled anarchists are agents of destruction; looting, destroying, maiming, and killing anyone, and anything, in their path. In actuality, violent anarchists are the enemies of the American people. Such deviant violence has elicited a strong reaction across this land, and rightly so, leading many to say: Enough is enough…

Your Excellency Ambassador Carl Paschall,

I have just finished reading the text of your message on George Floyd’s death and I must say that I am not the least impressed. Am I surprised, though? No. You just issued an empty and very hollow, dry message devoid of remorse and completely lacking the requisite ambition to correct more than more than 200 years of injustice and outright brutality towards people of colour in your country, the United States of America.

One thing came quite clear from your statement, you seem to share your President Donald Trump’s cold heartedness. Instead of showing us a sense of resolution to upend the racist machinery that is unleashing terror on people like George Floyd, your very condescending message rather conveys a sense of self-righteousness as you showcase your country’s values of allowing people to protest. What about upending the structural racism that creates the need for these protests? Where in the world are protests an end in themselves?

Your Excellency, the inequality and injustice in your country has deep roots and therefore this problem must neither be downplayed like you attempted to do in your very shallow statement; nor must we allow this critical moment of reckoning ushered in by the death of George Floyd to be trivialised by deceptive utterances like yours and the abhorrent ranting of your delusional President Donald Trump on Twitter.

As I told him in another epistle preceding this one “It falls within the period of your reign that the sons and daughters of the crowd solemnly assembled at the National Monument on that fateful day in 1963, when MLK made that historic speech, stand ready and bold to demand that your federal reserves of justice honour that promissory note and no force on earth can stop this movement.”

The demands being presented by the hundreds of thousands of protesters in America are about the sacred promise penned by your founding fathers through the blessed hand of Thomas Jefferson “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” This is the promise America has reneged on and your government must answer to the demands of the times for you to honour this promise.

That quest cannot be fulfilled by trivial utterances from your high offices prevaricating with distracting statements like this one you made in your statement: “we must all as individuals, and as persons united in our determination, act in our daily lives to put into place a world that realizes true equality and justice.”

Ambassador, the structural racism that is the catalyst for the murder of innocent people like George Floyd was not created by individuals; it was deliberately planned and institutionalised by governments like yours; so we do not need any pontification about our individual roles and responsibilities as global citizens. What we want to hear is what steps your government is going to take to obliterate this cancerous tumour out of the American system once and for all.

It was my good fortune to have visited one of the finest artists that The Gambia can ever boast of, last night, and I found that he had just completed a painting depicting the George Floyd murder and its resultant backlash. This painting clearly takes us back to slave ships which brought George Floyd’s forbears unto your soil and the consequent movements that have progressively pushed your racist nation to make amends for your sins.

From this brilliant piece of art the lesson stands clear: that the police officer’s knees that crushed George Floyd’s neck, is nothing but a duplicate of the very chains that your forebears strung around the necks of Kunta Kinteh and many more Africans to ship them to your plantations. It is a work of art worth studying and I strongly recommend that you visit Njogou Touray’s studio.

Meanwhile, I present to you a few verses of encouragement penned for my brothers and sisters under the yoke of Donald Trump in your country. I would be grateful if you could kindly send it over to America since you are the official representative of all Americans in my country. I bid you good reading as I end this epistle and loook forward to your understanding and cooperation:

Unleash Your Inner Kunta Kinteh

Nurture it; that spirit should never decay

The blood and vibe of the great Kunta Kinteh

True yesterday, S.T’s words remain vital today

The cutting of his toe never kept him under their sway

The spirit soared defiant; remains so up to this day

No one could stop the reverse journey of Alex Haley

The mind rules supreme over all matters surely

That is the message of the great Bob Marley

“We’ve got something they could never take away”

That fire burning everything is the spirit of Kunta Kinteh

It lies there, deep down, in every sentient black soul

It never dwindles, forever kindled, never to be old

Like the potent bowels of the Nymabeni Hills volcano

It awaits the moment of fermentation for explosion

We must unleash our inner Kunta Kinteh

The final revolution for our total redemption.

We all know there are tons of dating sites present on the internet that help men and women find their partners. It is not necessary that the partner you find on such a website will be “the one” but it might be your learning experience. Do not get your hopes high and let your dreams shatter deeply.

These days, the online dating sites are facilitating dating regardless of the boundaries of race and color. These websites have also increased the interracial dating trend. These interracial sites are for black and white singles.Now you see, even separate dating sites have been introduced to take this combination up to a major level! And why not so? Nobody can force anyone to do something they have no passion for. Just like that, dating and entering into a relationship are much the same. If a black guy likes a white woman or a white man likes a black woman then their color should not be the factor which stops them from being in a relationship.

Are you one of those individuals who want to learn why do interracial dating sites help black and white singles to find their partners? Due to the racial discrimination in the United States of America, such couples were not much seen to bring up black people equal to the white and eliminate the sense of racism and discrimination among them. These interracial dating sites are giving the black and white singles a chance to build a relationship on their own discrimination. If a black man wants to date a white woman,these interracial sites offer great help.

It doesn’t matter if white men date with black women or black men with white women.Every individual should have the liberty of doing what they like within the limits of the law.

“From illegal abduction to illegal deportation” 400 years of harsh treatment and a hostile environment.

The journey of the Windrush Generations has been long and continuously traumatic. From as early as 1625 the antecedents of these people were illegally abducted from their home lands and sold into slavery, shipped to the Caribbean to work as slaves in the sugar cane fields to enrich the British Empire. They made the country rich, but have never received fair treatment.

They served in the Crimean war 1854-1856. Notably, the famous Jamaica born, mixed race nurse Mary Seacole, who independently cared for the British troops despite being denied a position by the British war office.

They served in the First World War and the Second World War, fighting as British subjects to save Europe from a fascist dictator. As the posters read, “The Motherland Calls”, Britain needed their help and they answered the call.

After the Second World War, Britain needed to replenish its labour force and rebuild its devastated economy, they were invited this time to come and rebuild the country. They came.

They worked as labourers, transport workers and nurses, putting the “Great” in Great Britain and since that time back in 1948, they have worked and paid taxes, bought homes and raised families, continuing to this day.

It has been seventy years since the Windrush arrived in Britain carrying the first of these pioneers and from the day of their arrival by invitation, their existence has been defined by one word “racism”.

Called every derogatory name imaginable, physically abused and vilified, their children made subjects of constant prejudice and bias, cheated on their hard earned wages, overt racism, covert racism, institutional racism, they have endured them all, stood their ground and fought for justice.

Many of them now past retirement age have lived through the rioting, police harassment, brutality and corruption, veterans and heroes, one and all.

They have watched their young people and family members murdered in the streets by police and other malevolent thugs, their athletes insulted, mocked and insulted by hooligans.

Their children terrorized by skinheads and louts.

They have attended the funerals of friends and family members who have died in police custody, inexplicably.

They have cried a river of tears, for both antecedents and descendants alike. Perhaps the Enoch Powell speech should have been called “Rivers of Tears”.

But no one sees their pain, no one sees their suffering, no one feels their loss or laments their mistreatment. And now 2018, they must again endure complete devastation of their lives due to the gross negligence of the government.

Hostile environment! I would say these people have had several life times of brutal and harsh treatment, mainly at the hands of the British establishment.

From 1625 to 2018, the persecution, abuse and exploitation continues.

Compensate that.
