Up oh…Nico is getting deep now.

Okay let’s have a moment of clarity, the talk is about how we act when we encounter law enforcement, not all white Americans. The talk specifically deals with how to avoid law enforcement because it will not go good for you if you are black. We all have stories to tell, Mason had that issue with her daughter in Arizona. I have had many issues driving while black and I’ve also had issues at restaurants just trying to get something to eat. See it starts with a white person causing a confrontation and ends with them calling law enforcement and blaming the whole damn thing on the black person. I was really pissed about the white women who would not give the black woman her purse until they were comfortable it belonged to her. Just what the hell was that all about?

Man WTF!!! This is serious now. I mean it has my attention now. They are killing black people and getting away with it. They have been allowed to treat them this way without consequence to this day. WTF!!!! It’s upsetting that black people live with this kind of constant fear. Can you imagine fearing the very people put in place to protect you? I…I I don’t know how to deal with this kind of anguish. How do you all deal with it? Day after Day after fucking Day?

I will tell you, the only real time I witnessed how badly black Amercian's are treated was at the work place. They aren't paid what their white counterparts are paid and they worked harder. This was done intentionally. I know because I was always on the financial side of the businesses I worked for. It was enough to make me withdraw from working for big organizations which was the beginning of the end of my first marriage. She was all right as long as I was making six figures working for some big company. The minute some of their practices started to make me uncomfortable in my soul she had the nerve to tell me all I should be worried about is the money. That is what keeps many white people from speaking up and out against racism when they witness it even if they don't agree with it. Their love of money outweighs their morality and sense of doing the honorable and right thing.

Casey honey you can’t you just have to make them aware of it and hope they survive. You let them know you love and care about them and they matter to the Most High and that’s who they need to matter not some human being who chooses to devalue them. Then you hope that your words resonant and their sense of self-worth flourishes.

Benji, listen I’ve had several runs ins some with them doing something wrong and some with me speaking my mind. Let me tell you, if that had been me and that was my purse, yeah, the cops would have shown up because that bitch would have needed the law. She would not have had time to verify it with her cronies, bitch give me my purse immediately, but, I would not have left my purse and walked away. So I guess I would never be in that situation.

Well, the talk just seemed to be about how not to get into a position where you had to come into contact with law enforcement. I guess you can say my parents were trying to teach us that only the serve part of law enforcement pertained to us. I must say that is what it seems like to this day. I think it’s a damn shame that we have to basically view officers of the law as public enemy number one being black. That should matter to law enforcement agencies all over this country.

I have to rub my hubbies shoulders he’s getting so upset about this.

Luke, Nico try this on for size, Congress can take steps to change that stipulation for this president. Also, no one is above Treason. I think that is what we are dealing with here. And, this thing with Stormy Daniels and other women, just what he was done to silence them, might send this whole situation in a brand-new direction. No one is above the law, NO ONE! He will be the first president found guilty of treason, and he can be imprisoned for that. Treason nullifies that stipulation young attorneys.

Life has taught me people general do what is easier. If pretending a difficult problem doesn’t exist, especially when it doesn’t affect your life directly, is a route most humans choose to take. So, finding a tribe that you associate with and sticking with them is an easy path. Most white Americans want easy.

I also saw the most racism at work. Yes, there are even judges who are bias and it affects how they pass sentences. This is real. I mean what other reason are black people serving longer, prison sentences for similar crimes committed by white people? Why are laws stricter on black people particularly black males? Racism is a real problem and I really think for any and everyone going into a public service position, some type of psychological test should be required to see where they stand on matters of racial equality. Only people who clearly have the ability to remain un-bias should be in any position where they deal with the public.

Amen Your Honor!!!!

Brad, we walk on pens and needles and we get used to it. I know you all remembered the night I got pulled over driving Jay’s sports car. I got pulled over for nothing and I had my kids with me. I quickly called Jay as the cop was coming to the car. I was trembling and I just knew my kids were going to watch me die that night. I could hardly talk when I rolled the window down. He flat out asked me if I owned the car. I shook my head no and held up the phone and Jay started losing his mind. He also called Nico to come to the scene asap and he did. My kids were crying, we were mortified. There was no reason for him to pull me over. Jay was madder than I’ve ever seen him or heard him. I could hardly speak. I actually cried when Nico arrived. My daughter, who was three at the time, begged him not to hurt her dad. He told me daughter to sit back and relax.

It happened again and I almost pissed on myself. This time it was my car and I hurried and called my dad as I was pulling over. He asked me where I was and I gave him the street I was on and told him what street I had passed last. He told me to remain calm help was on the way. When the officer reached my window, I was a nervous wreck and he asked me why I was so nervous. I told him I’m black and Sandra Blain was dead. It just came out. He nodded and told me to calm down. He asked if the car was mine and I nodded. I held up my hands and he asked me if I could prove it and I nodded again. He told me to take out my paper work and I slowly did. I was so glad when my dad pulled up. I was headed to his office. I just rested my head on the steering wheel and tried to get my breathing in order. I let dad do the talking from that point. He got a call a black man stole a car fitting my car’s description. Someone saw me driving my car and called the police on me. It’s ugly out in the world for black people, ugly and scary.
