I get the point, but I think Jones has accidentally implied that they are the first blacks to get to heaven. Were I one who believed in Heaven, I’d find that quite annoying! What about Martin Luther King, eh?
“Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” (Captain Kirk, the commander of the USS Enterprise) The word black is not mentioned.
Black role models are great and inspirational. Now, if only you didn’t feel like you were in a life and death situation when a cop does a traffic stop for DWB (Driving While Black).
Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Get beyond cultural and racial differences and accept them as part of what makes us all potentially far better than only a steady diet of mayo on Wonderbread dunked in milk is going to be. And call out those xenophobes, racists, misogynists, fear mongerers, and hate-filled closed minded fools every time you see one.
Hey, Comrade Clay! The vet burn pit bill passed yesterday – AFTER THE LIBS WERE SHAMED INTO REMOVING THEIR POISON-PILL PORK SPENDING LANGUAGE! Told ya!
They are, however, far from first along the road all must travel, to “The undiscovered country from whose bourn / No traveler returns.” American slavery and anti-Black racism, like the wrath of Achilles, have sent many strong souls of heroes before their time to the house of Hades.
“Remember, we’ve been maniacally focused that we’re going to kill this Administration in the crib. Hey! I don’t care if Benny Thomson doesn’t like that or Nancy Pelosi doesn’t like or or who doesn’t like it. Justice Department. I don’t care if you don’t like it. Suck on it. We’re destroying this illegitimate regime.”— Steve Bannon, after being convicted of contempt of Congress
