It's A Strategy

Politics as they say is hardball. From the Willie Horton ad to "lock her up". What we are witnessing now is a deliberate strategy designed to use race again as a tactic of fear. Forget the fact of the many crises that have been mismanaged or lied about. That's for you to assess. Now, however, the purposeful starving of States for Covid relief funds is a political attempt to frustrate large cities, spur some violence and show images of lots of black and brown people, those with different eyes and accents that are often the center of any large urban area. Keep financial assistance away from their homes and flames are lit. It's a strategy. Where are you Americans for Reason and Truth?

President Houdini

Harry Houdini was a famous escape artist know for spectacular events where he could challenge police to keep him shackled or to put himself inside water filled milk containers with handcuffs and getting out without drowning. The current President is very much like Houdini having escaped the IRS, Removal, Access Hollywood tapes, mocking disabled people, lying about treatments for Covid, ignoring the real pain of the virus and on and on. I figure there are 62 million voters that will continue to allow his escapes from responsibility, from truth and from decency. They will rally around the false narrative and disrespect of Biden as a demented fool. They will rally around FOX news and its 3 nightly horror shows and they will rally around a new caravan, scaring us about black people in our cities and soon to be destroyed suburbs, hoping white "housewives" will repel the left wing extremist Antifa rabblerousing Democrats. Ok. Good for them. Houdini is dead. Hopefully so too will be the trump Presidency. He's no Houdini. Where are you Americans for Reason and Truth?

Nasty

Whenever the current 

occupant of the White House is faced with a strong woman he brings out his playbook. "She's Nasty".

Assumption Racism

Joe Biden will be picking a Veep candidate and his choice will not alter my Presidential voting decision in the least. I am however disturbed by something and that is a less discussed form of racism. I call it Assumption Racism. Many assume that people are unable to support candidates based on views but only based on race. 100 leading black leaders are saying that blacks will only be enthused about voting if Biden picks a black woman. That offends me. Blacks do not vote in lock step with that view any more than whites who voted for Obama, or whites who voted against him based on policy, not race. To assume this about a group of people implies prejudicial and yes, racist attitudes. Amongst black voters, in fact, Senator Warren's positions actually poll higher than do any of the black candidates. I'm not saying whom I support but I am saying that Assumption Racism is insulting to the black voter.
