America The Beautiful, Eh?
Georgia State Representative Erica Thomas was subjected to a vicious racist verbal assault while shopping. Painful to watch, it once againt attests to how primitive our species really can be. Notably, the racist who attacked her quoted Trump:

.. this sounds like a project for bellingcat ..
ReplyDeleteare you familiar with bellingcat ?
Here & there I witness witless losers, losing it
They vent their failures, their imaginary superiority
on random, unsuspecting victims, usually women
Or worse.. it is manifested as a vicious assault.
Frighteningly, it may be upon children as well
Props to the Georgia congresswoman for bearing up
and props to her for stepping forward..
For her advocates, defenders.. the same
For whomever assaulted her, her child..
well.. natural consequences may unfold
and if they do.. it won't be pretty
no, not at all ..
You mentioned bellingcat in an earlier comment, Sal, and I checked it out. It seems they offer some pretty impressive resources for citizen journalists. I wonder how many people are familiar with it. Clearly, mainstream media, with their strapped and always-dwindling resources, can use boost in disseminating important stories.
Delete.. at times, I can be pretty negative.. my comments scathing mayhap.. but I do hope well aimed.. But I really wanna be the guy that sends or lends inspiration.. so here's one for you.. we lost Johnny.. but his music inspires .. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g48_fqX7KJc#fauxfullscreen ..
ReplyDeletecan we not find a 'great heart' .. where the spirit thrives within.. do we have to suffer the thin gruel ? The paltry or putrid offerings ? Can we not have a woman or man who startles our imagination, our belief .. who takes our hand as we take theirs ? I give not a shite for a political party.. I only ask for a 'great heart'
Many thanks for the link to Johnny Clegg, Sal. A timely reminder for souls struggling to stay above water.

ReplyDeleteIt's breathtaking, isn't it, Owen?
