And...   as far as I am concerned, I was hospitalized for 6 days with what was later discovered to be an undetermined source that cause a staph infection in my bloodstream and the need for me to take infused antibiotics through a PICC line every 8 hours for another 28 days after being released...

The CONTRAST is apparent in my concern and the nation's concern(s)...  I would rather be concerned over myself than over the nation...

WHY IS THAT???

For my 72 years of life and my 50 years of really paying attention to politics, I have come to the conclusion that POLITICIANS DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AMERICANS BY THEIR ACTIONS...  but, Americans keep believing in the dreams of their words...

For instance, let's take the BLM Movement:

• Some police departments will be restructured to remove racist employees
• Some police departments will be defunded because of racist employees
• The Congress will try and pass more gun restriction legislation
• Some companies will hire more blacks

But, by the end of the next Presidential Term or 4 years...  most everything will be forgotten...  the BLM movement will be relegated to the back pages of the news...  and,, RACISM in America will continue...  because RACISM cannot be eliminated by government decrees, laws, and enforcement.

RACISM will always exist in countries where there are different races or statuses of people...  and in America, blacks only represent 13% of the population...  so, they will always be a minority and will always be treated like a minority, not matter how much they bitch, complain, protest, or use violence to get their points across.

AS INTELLECTUALS, WE MAY BELIEVE OR WANT TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE, BUT HISTORY ALWAYS SEEMS TO REPEAT ITSELF AND WILL SLAVERY WILL NOT BE REPEATED THE RACISM OF SLAVERY WILL BE... IN HEARTS AND SOULS OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT BLACK.
