 Obviously, nothing is disqualifying any longer if mediocre why tees with marginal experiences in the departments they were imprudently nominated to run (into the ground) are allowed to skirt FBI national security background checks (an exhaustive process that normally takes upwards of six months) in chump the brain dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown's zeal wreak havoc on the administrative state: a vast, sprawling, and complex federal bureaucracy, poised to hinder his wacky schemes. Instead of pointing out the obvious hypocrisy, we must insist on criminal justice reform as it relates to criminal history reporting requirements. If undereducated Black men who have been trying to turn around their lives after a criminal conviction for a non-violent crime in their distant past cannot pass a criminal background (forget about a national security) check for an entry-level job paying roughly $50k/annum, activists need to affirmatively be demanding criminal background check r...

I do not care about immigrants, period. I do not care about white women, period. I do not care about Latinos who identify as either "white" or white adjacent, period. No other progressive Black ought to either. And until the Democrats understand this fact, we will continue trying to court these ungrateful constituencies. Ones that showed their collective asses on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, by overwhelming voting for chump the brain dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown. I am more concerned about the federal merit system (civil service) where Blacks over index in GS-03 through GS-18 items; Article III court judge appointments (and centrist Democrat senators like Fetterman cross party lines to confirm radical, right wing ideologues because the "country must move forward" or some other rationalization), the Attorney General, DOJ, Department of Education and the social safety net. Those cabinet level appointments will directly and adversely impact our commun...

Accommodationists [Negroes] are as bad if not worse than white Liberals. These compromised blacks see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil; or, realize any dichotomy accommodating white supremacy (no moral ambiguity or contradictions in how institutional racism plays out perniciously on the broader African American community). They personally benefit from being good boys and girls (no self-respecting person would chemically bleach their skin or straighten their 'locs; looking ridiculous with unnatural, pastel-colored hair, to meet some impossible, implausible Eurocentric standard of beauty... They slavishly crave adoration, affection, and affirmation ("you're different from the rest...") from whitey. And they greedily slop at the trough of white supremacy, raising their nappy (or "processed") heads and thick, greasy lips dripping with whitey's largesse, only long enough to gaze longingly, fondly at Massa who has allowed him or her access to urine, spitt...

...these embittered alabaster relics of bygone days clinging to their waning privilege like a drowning man to a life raft have brought so much opprobrium to our institutions, (i.e., the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches of government), it has ceased to function equitably for "the people." And it's a sad testament to the entrenched racism that drives realpolitik in these United States ...
