The Privilege to Create History
The attack at the Capital was a dystopian imagery that was predictable. It is the evolution of capitalism in the spirit of free trade with the Indigenous and Aboriginal. The spirit to travel to someones home land and name it; can only result in both the Trans-Pacific and Trans-Atlantic Slave trades, restitution to slavers, Dred Scott, redlining and denial of the G.I. Bill benefits, and segregation.
With the surveillance state being ramped; we have culminated in a nearly four to five year campaign of televising black genocide; the flashpoint through which excessive militarization was required even before the verdict for Breonna Taylor’s killers were released.
The government and the Federal reserve produced 1 trillion dollars on March 12th, an extra 2.3 trillion for the C.A.R.E.S. package in late April; in which 908 billion was allocated from our December 21st stimulus.
It is now within a weeks retrospect that as a nation; the free speech from Dr. King echoes and haunts even the staunchest of “Black” people’s allies. This being how the white moderate was more of an obstacle than the “Ku Klux Klanner.” This disposition for black Americans to somehow be silent in a court of public opinion in fear of unpopular positions; vs. many other identifiable people of color whom can benefit from “white privilege” can grow into being complicit of the political struggle as a piece of their American dream. While very well denying that Socialist institutions are revered all throughout Europe; the only exception being Nazi Germany. What does it say about our leading constituencies that we preserve the worst parts of “National Socialism” and dismiss it as the solution to providing healthcare in a pandemic? That one black man would use free speech and be on the F.B.I. watchlist?
There is a clear image of what is patriotic and what isn’t based on imagery of our pasts vs. the “politically correct” context. An example can be found in the Black Panthers being on the steps of the Capital. At that time, even the N.R.A. was for gun control; and under the terminology, they were against the Black Panthers’ “right to bare arms.”
So why didn’t they storm the Capital for health-care? Why didn’t a Q’Anon (from the right) or Wikileaks (honest/independent prosecuted by the left) just waltz in switch some 1’s and 0’s and liberate the people? This because I subjectively/historically have belief that race is weaponized by the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to keep the status quo.
Sure the mainstream media doesn’t help; but despite honest respect for those in uniform; I am appalled and shocked that networks like OAN or Fox would be so determined to martyr an Ashli Babbitt. As though she stormed the Capital solely to act and protect me from my own domestic enemies. It is insulting to me; but some people terrifyingly identify. Who is to say what is their reality; but why traditionally must they be afraid of living ours that they double down?
Ultimately, I must call the impeachment for what it is; an opportunity to deflect from the truly catastrophic amounts of power our federal government has in lobbying for monopolies; as we socially work to uphold them. Allies; please ask oneself; what will this Democratic super majority do? Will I hold them accountable? Would I see the power of the purse and support a call for restitution for slavery? Would I change this system if I had the power?
Will Kamala Harris work within a 1.9 Trillion dollar budget with Bernie Sanders to follow through on their $2,000 a month until the remainder of the pandemic bill together?
The power to create history is within the people; but we mustn’t be coalesced to forgetting who the true enemy is. The invisible domestic enemy of poverty, hunger, and sicknesses that we never eradicated because we have been socially spooked into protecting the war for profit model to survive socially.
To create history; one must speak honestly and truthfully to power, not only exercise the privilege to hold it.
As for our politicians; they remain Bi-Partisan in fearing the fragility of the system being exposed by Trump’s inability to uphold the peaceful transition of power from one moderately Conservative party to another. Call it subjective; but if the super-majority of Democrats fails to represent the people whom are suffering; we’re stuck in the same climate that emboldened a base to endorse Trump.
