Time travel” is still, sadly, considered far-fetched in the 21st century, however if you ever have a twisted, morbid desire to “see,” to “feel” to “witness” a 1857 Mississippi plantation master torture, torment and abuse a slave, to death, well look no further than the police officers we see on our television mistreating Black people on what is a weekly, if not daily, basis.

Same relative demented mindset, just a different “time n’ place.” The names and faces have been changed to protect the barbarous White men who, as I’ve maintained, haven’t really changed much in their intellectual depth: Fred Flintstone with a cell phone... plantation overseers in police uniforms...

The helpless people on the street corner were as helpless as the slaves who witnessed the inhumanity - the endless and ceaseless beatings, rapes, tortures and murders.

Only the stage has changed.

Check it:

Derrick Chauvin, the former police officer who tortured to death George Floyd, is an example of what that horrific scene looked like, the cold-hearted reptilian actions of a weasel of a man who, minus the badge and gun, would never have been able to recklessly weld lethal power. Tell me why he and likeminded officers should not be referred to as “pigs?”

I’m insulted by the defense’s attempt to “justify this lynching” - by bringing in their own “use of force” expert who arrogantly planted the scientific seed that the barbarity we witnessed wasn’t barbarity but was rational and proportionate, and that at times during the execution Floyd was resting peacefully.

It’s almost tongue in cheek sarcasm; it can’t be on the level and legit because it’s so ludicrous and ridiculous, but if only one person finds it conceivable, believable, then the killer cop, 17 infractions/complaints in 18 years of “service” gets off.

What in the world demands that the police be treated with respect?

Today, the cavemen now live-in prefabricated houses and drive electric cars instead of hay-propelled horses. I keep saying White America is in desperate need of a coming-to-Jesus moment, a reformation and awakening because this barbaric culture of theirs is straight out of medieval times. The behavior of the police isn’t about training, about sensitivity training – no, it’s more about how deep-seated, ingrained and inherent these attitudes and perceptions are in the minds of White folks. The WASP mainstream, the masses, the rank n’ file support and their collective, monolithic defense of these inhuman actions isn’t something that can be “trained” away.

White racism, discrimination and check this - their brutality can’t be trained nor prayed away - it seems, as a monolithic culture, all they understand and fear is a more brutal force - akin to the thinking of their ancestors, the Neanderthals.

Boy, how long has the world been waiting on White men to change. It’s a good thing we ain’t holdin’ our breath!

We’ve all seen the Windsor Virginia Officer Joe Gutierrez aim his weapon at Lt. Caron Nazario during a traffic stop. Nazario is suing Gutierrez and the other officer, Daniel Crocker, for violation of his constitutional rights. Take a long look at how Lieutenant Caron Nazario was mistreated by the two white bullies, gunmen, hitmen, terrorist, assassins, pick-one, they’re all apropos and fitting... like a white sheet and hood. The Medical Officer was treated in a mean, cruel and nasty manner - insulted and slighted, belittled and intentionally disrespected in a patronizing and condescending all American way - in what is a deliberate desire to add insult to injury. Are you going to suggest these men were not behaving as animalistic dirty “pigs?”

The “execution of Daunte Wright was an “accident?” Please, if nothing else, it was reckless and careless behavior, i.e., “manslaughter.” They slaughtered a man because of their rash, irresponsible and hot-headed behavior which pushed this questionable “traffic stop” over the top. Perhaps it was an “accident” but I don’t believe it. I think it was business as usual.

How is this acceptable, tolerable, justifiable and yes applaudable to mainstream White America?

I must ask: Who are you people?!

Chauvin is draped in some blue blanket of immunity, dignity and nobility - innocent until proven guilty, while Floyd was considered guilty from the womb if not Jump-street and then arrested, tried, convicted and executed by this slug of a man. The Lieutenant and Daunte Wright were … “uppity” and defiant.”

Both of which would have got you beat, whipped or killed in 1920 America.

Has White America, TRump’s America really changed? No, White folks have simply been on their “best behavior” since about 1970 or so, and now, with the browning of America, they just can’t “fake the funk” no more and their true colors are showing.

What’s so typical of the Floyd murder, the mistreatment of Lt. Caron Nazario and young Mr. Wright and the reactionary reactions of White America is - it embodies and reflects this harsh reality: the vast majority of European Americans (White folks) consider the vast, vast, vast majority of all black folks to be “guilty.” We are, have most White folks tell it - forever incompetent - pick one of the many synonyms: inept, unskillful, unskilled, amateurish, unprofessional, lacking ability, bungling, blundering, clumsy, inadequate, substandard, inferior, ineffective, deficient, inefficient, ineffectual, no good, not good enough, wanting, lacking, leaving much to be desired, incapable, unfitted, unfit, unsuitable, unqualified, useless, pathetic, not up to it, a dead loss, not up to scratch, not up to snuff…

But seldom are we innocent until proven otherwise. Seldom, if ever, are we competent, skillful, and “as honest as the day is long.”

That’s just the way it is in White America’s little mind…

Look at it like this: most white people, undeniably at least 51% - if not 75% or more of White people - Trump’s America - support a mean, nasty, heartless and cruel bully - Trump himself, thus making them mean, nasty, heartless and cruel. This is a “bloody” empire composed of historically verified heartless bullies. “Might makes right” and oppression and genocide are tools of their primitive trade. I’d like to say otherwise, but I’m just being both sharp n’ blunt, I wouldn’t have it any other way my friend.
