GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country.

RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

WHOOPI GOLDBERG SUSPENDED FROM THE VIEW: JEWS ARE JEWISH, NOT WHITE PEOPLE.

ICHEOKU says Whoopi Goldberg just found out that there are some untouchables in America who she cannot run her wild woke foul mouth against. These people are not President Donald John Trump or members of the Republican Party and other conservatives, who she believes she is at liberty to bad mouth without consequences. They have suspended her from their network for misstating a very crucial important fact of their historical struggles; and lets hope it will be just that two weeks suspension and nothing more. 


Although many people in the black community could relate to Whoopi Goldberg's understanding and interpretation of racism as a skin color based discrimination, with white people dishing it out on black people as in the American context; but Jewish people have now expatiated and explained in lucid detail, that everyone may understand, that racism has nothing to do with the skin pigmentation. Rather, according to this new Jewish theory on race, racism has to do with the feeling of superiority of a people over other people who they see as inferior, regardless of the color of their skin. Hence it is possible for some white people to be racists against other white people and that was their experience under Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. 


So, the Jews are not emphatically denying that they are white people, only that Adolf Hitler felt that the Aryan white race was superior to every other white race including the Jewish white race. This varies in great detail from a typical black person in America understanding of race as mostly predicated on the color of one's skin, black and white; or as with Asians, their unique body type and the slanting of their eyes. But is this why Whoopi Goldberg is being pilloried just because her understanding of race is narrower than the Jews would like her to appreciate. Like Whoopi, so many people did not know before now that race is broader than the color of the skin.


But if what Adolf Hitler did to the estimated six million Jews was caused by racism, why was what Nigeria did to five million Biafrans not similarly also tinged? Both were genocides or was it the underlying feeling behind them that made their designations to be different. How about slave trade and slavery, afterall so many chained black African slaves were thrown off slave cargo ships into the Atlantic to their watery deaths by drowning. Was that racism too or was the fact that they were drowned at sea, instead of being gassed in gas chambers, make all the difference? How about all the wars in Africa, including the Hutu and Tutsi war, would that also qualify as racism since it was the feeling of superiority that made the Hutus decide to wipe out the Tutsis. 


ICHEOKU is seeking some answers and clarifications here and not that anyone is questioning the Jews on how they prefer to tailor their narrative of the holocaust. Yes, Adolf Hitler was a very bad fella and yes, many Jews were killed by him, admitted the number is still subject to debate; but the bottomline is that what he did to the Jews was man's inhumanity to man. This was the exact point which Whoopi Goldberg was trying to make and for which she has now been descended upon by the powerful Jewish lobby group in America. She was not trying to demean or minimize the horrors of the holocaust; no, she was only trying to put it in the context of the evil which man can do to a fellow man, period; or is anyone debating that the holocaust was not man's inhunanity to man? 


A race is a group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of their supposed physical or genetic traits which is shared by only the group. Things like their common ancestry, common historical affiliation, common culture, common language, common nationality, or common geographic distribution and spread. If this is actually the accepted meaning of race, it means that calling Europeans the white race is a misnomer because there are so many different languages in Europe and many of them do  not share common ancestry or historical background; and in some cases, not even the same culture. So why do we still have the word white race or black race or now Jewish race, when race is broader than the color of the skin. 


With the new Jewish expansion of the word racism, it is now possible for racism to even exist in Africa amongst black Africans, as some black Africans feel that they are superior to other black Africans. Xenophobia for example is such feeling coated in dislike for foreigners. This discourse has nothing to do with semantics or syllogisms or nomenclature or even etymology, just that the meaning of race and racism has henceforth changed dramatically because Whoopi Goldberg thought that Jews are white people. So, the next time Black Lives Matter complains that racism is killing black people in America, they should be more specific and identify which micro group of white people are perpetrating the racism. It is no longer acceptable for BLM to bundle all white people together as racists because the skin color is no longer the controlling authority.  


Now, we have all been reeducated that the holocaust was about racism against the Jews and that Adolf Hitler Nazi saw it that way, as his Nazi Germany carried out a systematic annihilation of the Jewish people across Europe with deliberate and ruthless cruelty. We have also been re-informed that although Jewish people don't fit neatly into the Black and White binary view of race in America, the anti-Semitism which Jewish people have long faced is simply another form of racism. We are also told that Adolf Hitler perceived the Jews as a subhuman race, which means that it was not just about their being inferior to the white Aryan race, but that they are inferior to the entire human race, regardless of their hue.


This begs the question, is this why Jews are not liked and are literally hated by so many people throughout the world, including the Palestines, Iranians, Arabs and Africans, whose African Union just recently refused to admit Israel as an honorary observing member. Do all these various people share Adolf Hitler's feeling about the Jews being beneath them as well? Was the biblical account of the Jews torturous enslavement in Egypt also race tinged? It is a fact that Jewish people have suffered untold hardship throughout their history; they have been marginalized, persecuted, enslaved, slaughtered. But why? 


Is it because they are different or is there more to it, otherwise why is their hatred almost universal? Is there something they are doing which rubs other people the wrong way? Their killing of Jesus Christ cannot be the reason as many of their haters are not even Christians nor do they believe in Jesus; this hatred of the Jews preceded the birth of Christ. Will it be a better approach for the Jewish people to fund research to help find out why people don't like them, instead of this perpetually alarm that they are hated. If this many human-beings hate only one amongst their own kind, don't people think that there must be something, a reason behind it? But there is no justifying what the Jewish people are forced to live with.


What exactly does black people everywhere have against the Jewish people? Africans in the motherland loathe them and blacks in America are not any different and Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan have no love lost for the Jews. The other time it was NIck Cannon who was suspended by Viacom and later fired for his anti Jewish views, admitted he has since been recalled. Now, it is Whoopi Goldberg that is on their chopping block for an honest mistake which she made, sincerely believing, like many people, that race is all about the color of the skin. 


As things stand now, not even her Jewish last name seems to be coming to her aid, and the two weeks suspension might end up becoming a permanent termination. The junior Cuomo of the now defunct Cuomo Brothers CNN Comedy Central was initially suspended before it was converted to You're Fired and he was let go, despite being the best rating host on the fake news network. Whoopi should pray that the powerful Jewish lobby group will be satisfied with the two weeks suspension handed to her and determine it as good enough, otherwise she is toast as nobody messes with Jewish people in America. 


But did Whoopi not even remember the people who own ABC and Disney, the parent of the network? Why did she not get the message when her co-hosts on the View were telegraphing to her to stop, in order not to offend the people who write and sign her paychecks? But Whoopi was convinced in the rightness of her argument that the skins of both Germans and Jews are of the same white color, and went on to make her point that they were just two white people, with one visiting man's inhumanity on the other, a fellow man. Now, she has been reeducated through a series of reprimanding private telephone calls, which forced her to hurriedly apologize and make a mea culpa for her "wrong and hurtful" comments. 


Is it already too late for her and will they make an example out of Whoopi Goldberg to send a message that not even being woke will spare anyone who transgresses against the Jewish people. Will this lead to Whoopi changing her last name for an African themed name? As a matter or fact, Whoopi should immediately contact Nick Cannon for a referral to the Rabbi who made him kosher-whole again following his own anti semitic convulsion Jesus moment. Whoopi did not intend to hurt anyone, but since the Jews have determined that her words were hurtful comments and have suspended her from their network, in order to appease their people, colleagues, friends, families, community and owners, she should remain contrite and use every opportunity to express remorse and ask for their forgiveness.  


But the fact of the matter is that the fundamental of what Adolf Hitler did to the estimated six million Jews during the holocaust was very reprehensble man's inhumanity to man, regardless of the prism through which anyone views it. It does not matter the tag, and provided we all agree that it was abominable and condemn it, that is what really counts. But since the Jewish people want everyone to understand that what took place was racism, racism it therefore was, case closed. Everyone should take note of the correction and not make Jewish people mad any more or in any other way, attempt to diminsh or deconstruct the horrific holocaust which their people experienced under Nazi Germany. And of course yes, Whoopi is down with Jewish people and so much so, that she bears their last name, Goldberg. Please Jewish people, forgive Whoopi as that was an honest mistake.
