Joy Reid was wrong. And yes more attention should be paid to missing black and Latina women too. None of this has to be mutually exclusive. There's a right way and a wrong way to raise legitimate issues. More pressure needs to be applied to mainstream media outlets regarding this issue. At the same time we need a stronger independent black media for news and talk. Furthermore there needs to be more advocacy on behalf of black women. Sometimes our focus on racial and economic injustice is focused on black males. This is our fault as much as white people's.

I think the world as we know it is coming to an end right before our eyes. Computerized technology is enabling artificial intelligence and together they are co-opting society. The covid pandemic provides the perfect matrix for this transformation because it has inhibited and distorted our lifestyles, in addition to making us physically vulnerable. America's political polarization will be the final nail in its coffin. "Retrumpicanism" and the way it has hi-jacked the truth and bastardized reality has created a threatening herd of robotic maggots. Meanwhile, the family feud between progressive Democrats and moderate ones is destroying the party's unity and deflating its power to counteract fascism and maintain democracy. White supremacy is thriving, genocidal black-on-black crime is ongoing, law and order are in shambles, and natural disasters are rampant. Moreover, America is a microcosm of countries all over the globe where internal conflict is never ending. Planet Earth may survive, but its population will have computerized itself out of existence amid an atmosphere of the chaos that will necessitate a return to square one. 🤪

tipsyturv Thank you! That was much appreciated.

for what its worth , i love Pioneer's posts 🥰

************************************************************************************ She wrote a whole book about Blacks not being allowed to bear arms in 1723. Why would they be? Of course whitey was afraid if he gave a Black man a gun he would turn around and shoot him with it. That is probably the sentiment today. I know that I would avoid a Negro that I thought was carrying a gun. And I definitely wouldn't give him one. I disagree with her comment in the video where she says something to the effect of White people being afraid of Blacks just because. No, people are afraid of Blacks because they are running around shooting other people, and each other for no valid reason, and acting crazy in general. I'm so glad that thugs don't read because this book would just give them another excuse to shoot more people. ************************************************************************************
