Anything you done to me, already done to you

Unfortunately, this country’s race healing is suffering a sustaining blow when the Supreme Court ruled that school systems cannot use race to promote diversity within the school district. Many of today are too ignorant, willfully or unwillfully, of the past. Most people want to forget over 250 years of FREE labor of African enslaved peoples. Many people would like to gloss over 100 plus years of Jim Crow or codes/laws that only applied to Black people which relegated Black people to second class citizenship (funny enough they paid the same taxes). Twenty-five years of court supervision to create diversity is a drop in the bucket. It’s nothing really. It’s less than nothing. This country is no longer interested, willing, or concerned with making Black people whole. The people of the country want to forget history, ignore history, erase history because it is uncomfortable and unpleasant. And, yeah, I’m talking about the past again. All Christians talk about is the “good old days” why can’t I mention “the bad old days.”??? I’ve said it before: when every other man and woman’s name is Juan or Maria, maybe some people will see the point of diversity. Then some people will see that anything you done to me, already done to you.

Uh, Bush is a punk for commuting the sentence of his boy, Scooter. But, it’s Re-PUKE-blican politics as usual: power plays, rationalization, and hypocrisy.

You can’t compare Clinton’s pardons to this. All his people served some time. All his people did their criminal acts to benefit themselves not Clinton.

How many days till this PUNK is out office?
