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. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


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

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

KAMALA HARRIS NOT BLACK: PRETENDING OTHERWISE AN INSULT TO BLACK PEOPLE.

ICHEOKU says once again the Democratic Party has shown that they are not comfortable with having black people in positions of power and authority. They did it with Ron Brown and Jesse Jackson when they refused either men the ticket but settled for Barack Obama, a Kenyan American, who was not down with the struggle. They have now chosen a Jamaican American Kamala Harris who personally does not even identify herself as black, in place of real black people such as Susan Rice and Val Demings and wants black people to accept her as good enough for the purposes of having a black vice presidential candidate for Joe Biden. ICHEOKU says why settle for a person who is colored when there are millions of real black people in America or has an imitation now become better than the original. 

Of all the black women in America, it is dishearteningly very insulting that the Democratic Party could not and did not find any of them worthy of being chosen, for the purposes of having a black female, as Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate. But instead of doing right for and by black people this time, the Democratic Party once again bypassed a real black female and settled for a Jamaican and Indian byproduct and passed her off for a black female. The Democratic Party believes that black people lacks the capacity to think for themselves and will not understand the difference, to which ICHEOKU says really? It is akin to passing off a Latino as a white person simply because their skin is equally pale or  presenting a Japanese as a Chinese just because both of them are Asians and somewhat have similar appearance. 

It is a condescension and an insult to the millions of black people who call America home and they must in unison reject Kamala Harris as not one of them and let the Democratic Party understand that they know the game which they play. Black people will not and refuses to accept an imitation black female for the purposes of having a black female Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate. They will therefore not be hoodwinked into voting for the BIden/Harris ticket as representative of them because it does not represent black people. There is no way in hell a Jamaican father and an Indian mother can produce a black person, especially in the context of American blackness and such their offspring cannot satisfy the need of blackness in Joe Biden's vice presidential candidacy. Kamala Harris is not black and cannot represent black people and it is very insulting to even suggest that she is black and/or represents black people. 

Kamala Harris is an American, she was born in Oakland California before her mother took her and moved away to Canada where she was raised. To that extent she is absolutely and eminently qualified to run for the presidency of the United States of America and that automatically qualifies her for the vice presidential run. She is also a member of the minority class in America, being of Jamaican and Indian background. But to stretch her attributes any further by presenting her as black or as a candidate of black people who is entitled to black votes is intellectually dubious, because she is by no definition howsoever construed, black. Even her mother's native India discriminates against black people and Jamaicans also think that they are superior to black people and therefore technically not blacks but Caribbeans. 

ICHEOKU says it is therefore acceptable for the Democratic Party to chose her as a minority female vice presidential candidate, but it is not acceptable to call her a black female vice presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is not black and therefore does not represent black people in Joe Biden's presidential run.There are a lot of highly qualified black females who would have easily filled the position on behalf of black people but the Democratic Party once again decided not to have anything to do with black people and settled for a Jamaican Indian. The anti black forces in the Democratic Party who could not stand black people because of their threatening  attitude, once again made sure that Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate was not a black person. They chose a colored person and trying to pass her off as a black person in order to satisfy black people. 

It is insulting to the intelligence of black people and it is an arrogant statement that there is no competent black female to chose as Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate, hence they have to improvise by picking a none black person to role play a black person. Why choose an imitation when there is an original or has leather and imitation leather become the same thing? Why improvise for an original when the original is available and not impossible to obtain? Why does the Democratic Party always treat black people with such contemptuous disregard and disdain and more comfortable just seeing them but not hearing them or having them in positions of authority and power. It did not start with the selection of Kamala Harris over other qualified black people, it is a long running pattern and conduct ingrained in the Democratic Party where they only use black people to maintain power but never allowed them inside the power house. 

The Democratic Party's presidential candidate Joe Biden once said that he never saw a smart, bright and articulate black person in America until Barack Obama arrived on the scene and Barack Obama is not even a black person in the strict sense of the word. Barack Obama is a hybrid white and Kenyan, a person of color and therefore not black. But the Democratic Party imposed him on black people as a black person and you wonder what happened to his other 50% white building block which was contributed by his white mother. If Barack Obama can be a black person, why can't he also be a white person afterall he is half and half. But American Democrats classified him as black to satisfy the need of having elected a black president regardless of how real black people, who were down with the struggle, felt about it. 

But the case of blackness is even stronger with Barack Obama as his father came from Africa mainland; unlike Kamala Harris whose father is from Caribbean Jamaica. So why these pseudo black people instead of the real black people one may ask or are the original slave ancestry black people anathema to Democratic Party as a taboo who nobody should ever consider for leadership positions in America? But why should real black people continue to accept these substitutes as a good alternatives in place of themselves. If a substitute teacher only comes to class when the main teacher is not available, why should the case be reversed as it appertains to real black people and colored people in America. Why should these substitute blacks be allowed to supplant and overshadow real black people when real black people are abundantly available? 

It is disrespectful and it is a continuation of the mistreatment which black people have been made to endure in America and for too long. Why must black people always be told that they are not good enough and must be improvised for. And if told, why must they always accept the narrative as an obedient slaves would to a master? It is time this given narrative is changed or resisted. Enough is enough and it should start with this November 3rd election 2020 when black people must vote conscientiously and not as told or that a Jamaican is representing them on the Joe Biden's ticket. Black people needs to reinvent themselves by reasserting themselves in a meaningful way in order to command the respect due to them. They must rise up and reject the substitution of them by a Jamaican Indian and let the Democratic Party know that oranges and lemons are not the same thing, the fact that they are both citrus notwithstanding. 

If Mexicans and White Americans are not the same people, why then should a Jamaican and a black person be the same thing? What is for black people must go to black people and not a colored person, period. If the Democratic Party wanted to have a black female vice presidential candidate for Joe Biden, they would have done so but didn't. Kamala Harris is not black nor does she represents black people. Black people will not accept the brazen attempt to beguile them once again by passing off a Jamaican Indian person as black. Black people rejects Kamala Harris as not one of them and will not be led by the nose to vote for Joe Biden because she is on the ticket. She represents Jamaicans and South Asian folks but definitely not black people. 

It is only by sending such a resounding telegram to the Democratic Party in this election, by rejecting the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket that the Democratic Party will learn to stop treating black people so scornfully. Black people must treat the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket as any other ticket and not one in which they are represented because they are not. Kamala Harris is not black and therefore does not represent black people on Joe Biden's ticket. Therefore, black people will reclaim their rightful place and position in the Democratic Party politics by being heard with a thunderous vote against Joe Biden for disrespecting them with his choice of a Jamaican South Asian in place of a black person. It is about time the shoddy treatment ended and it will end in this election. Enough of the disrespect. Don't vote for Joe Biden because Kamala Harris in not black.
