Time to march on DC

People of color, LGBTQ, women, undocumented people, workers, and numerous other people who are oppressed and have extra hurdles to overcome to attain the "American Dream"are tired of doing it alone. The brunt of responsibility to remove these barriers is upon the shoulders of white men. We have created a society of inequity and called it equality. We are lying to ourselves. When we say we want equality I believe most of us are lying to ourselves again. What would true equality look like? We wouldn't recognize it because we have no idea what that concept even means. Having a few people in powerful positions or with celebrity status does not represent equality. In fact it doesn't represent shit.



So as I sit in my stucco mcmansion while Mexicans are blowing leaves around in my white neigborhood before the extreme heat of the day I realize that I'm not really doing enough to make real change. Real change may be very uncomfortable for me. Why change then? Simple. There is no god and therefore the judgement of my life presides within me. The other reason is that my life will be better (Stay tuned for a blog on how).I am my executioner and the time has come to shit or...well you know. SO I propose that white men march on Washington DC and demand equality for all. Who better to make real change than those who created the status quo? More to come...

POV

One's perception is everything. Is it reality? Yes! Your perception is your reality and that's the problem. The time has come to bring reality back and crush perception. The reality is our country is a fraud. We are all hypocrites. We live on the perception that freedom is our founding principle. Yet we continue to deny even the most basic freedoms to all of our citizens. We celebrate holidays like Independence Day and Thanksgiving but both are built from myths and lies that we continue to perpetuate today. Our founding fathers were men who began the myth of meritocracy and freedom for all and we still hold them up like gods. These men are responsible for the biggest farce since organized religion. They rival one another for top dog of planetary destruction.

Reality check!

We killed millions of native peoples and stole their land.

We kidnapped, enslaved, and murdered millions of Africans for free/cheap labor.

We tell ourselves we are the beacon of freedom and democracy...see above.

We live by meritocracy when reality reflects nothing of the sort....see every statistic available.

We invade other countries (and call it liberation) without being attacked or threatened...see every war since WWII.

We deny our bloody past with a vengeance.

We care more about consumption than lives...see the third world.

So get off your ass and ask some questions, read some books, and listen to the oppressed.
