General Discussion Forum / Gun ownership among Black Americans is soaring

« on: April 10, 2021, 09:08:33 PM »

Black people are buying guns at a high record rate, partially due to fear and anxiety, according to The Guardian.

Black people owning guns have gone up 58.2 percent, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) - and gun groups like the "Not F**king Around Coalition (NFAC)" consist of armed social justice advocates who demand justice for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, visibly strapped with handguns.

The Guardian also noted that gun-ownership amongst Black people spiked both when President Trump lost his reelection campaign and when Ahmaud Arbery, a Black jogger who died after he was inspecting an empty house, was gunned down.

"In times of uncertainty people want to be able to have the means to defend themselves," Robert Cottrol, a law professor at George Washington University told The Guardian. "People are worried that they're not being protected and they'll have to do it themselves."

Politics / IT’S TIME TO LABEL THE GOP FOR WHAT IT IS...

« on: January 28, 2021, 09:29:39 PM »

A terrorist organization.

As you all know, I am not one to mince words. So, let’s take a look at the literal definition for the word Terrorism.

Terrorism: Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R.

Now, let’s look at the attack on the Capitol. Trump supporters, many of them armed, stormed the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power and to overthrow the election. They beat and killed law enforcement, unsuccessfully hunted lawmakers, threatening to hang, shoot and kill them. All to achieve a political outcome, which hit the markers of what is defined by the US as terrorism. If these people were brown and wore turbans, there is no doubt they’d be identified as terrorists. These terrorists, however; wore red MAGA hats and draped themselves with the American flag, and they attacked the US Capitol under the direction of the Republican leadership, including a sitting president and members of Congress.

We all heard the rhetoric and seen the behaviors from the right leading up to the election and to the certification of the Electoral College, and we are painfully aware of their posture since that infamous day. Many are waiting for the “damn to break” where a flood of Republicans finally have an epiphany of some kind, which will allow them to hold those responsible for inciting the attack. It hasn’t happened, and it won’t. Trump’s GOP is no different than Arafat’s PLO. Both are political organizations with a terrorist wing. And both seem okay with it. We just haven’t accepted this reality as a country.

Politics / Trump’s Attempt To Overturn The Election Came Right Out Of The Fascist Handbook

Trump’s Attempt To Overturn The Election Came Right Out Of The Fascist Handbook

Clint Edwards

Just before the November 2020 presidential election, Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at Yale University and author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them was on NPR discussing how the U.S. was losing its democratic status, and mostly because of Donald Trump. He hit on some points that really gave me pause, particularly when he defined fascism as “a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation.”

It was hard to read that definition and not think about Trumpism, a relatively new term that only came into light four years ago. Regardless of the scandals, or the tell-all books from family and former associates, Trump’s base is ready and willing to put blinders on. I remember hearing Stanley’s interview and being fearful that we might very well have four more years of Trumpism.

Politics / The Biden Wave

« on: November 08, 2020, 11:17:32 AM »

Looking over the data for the 2020 election cycle, it became glaringly obvious that there was never going to be a blue wave. But what we did see was a Biden Wave. He won back the states HRC lost while adding two ruby red states to the list. He had support of many Republicans, who did not support Democratic down ballot candidates (Ga is the prime example). This election was a referendum on Trump. Nothing more, nothing less.

So what does it mean? Biden’s mandate is to heal the nation’s wounds, to get this virus under control and to transition the country back, or forward, to some sense of normalcy. Outside of trying to get something done on Health Care, he would be smart to stick to that. Because not only was this a referendum on Trump, it was a repudiation of progressive policies. Otherwise, the Biden wave would’ve been a blue wave.

Politics / The Dam May Be Breaking; Too Little Too Late

« on: October 16, 2020, 02:00:01 PM »

“Where is the responsible governance, the individual liberty, equal justice and opportunity for all? I ask my Republican friends: Is this your party?”

I write this in the hope that Americans who still call themselves Republicans, and plan on voting for Donald Trump, will consider carefully the cost of another Trump presidency to our nation and to our children. As a former Republican state party chair, I understand well how difficult it is to even imagine voting outside the party, and I understand the sense of loyalty to party that decades of activism engenders.

But to pledge allegiance to a political party, void of principle or honor, is an empty oath that will not serve country or conscience. Where once we stood together to advocate for responsible governance, individual liberty, equal justice and opportunity for all, today’s GOP platform is nothing more than a vow to support, protect, defend and defer to Donald Trump.
