Like everyone who voted for Hillary Clinton, I was in shock on November 8th- 2016. I give it to the Trump Campaign and the RNC for running a great planned out strategy to win the Presidency. The very fact that the Republicans use voter repression in North Carolina, by eliminating 158 polling places in the African American Community was ethically not right but brilliant. They also calculated that most European Americans, with 30% Asian Americans, 30% non Mexican Latino, Other Americans % ? and 8% of the African American Community voted for Trump's Economics regardless of his other right wing agendas.
Like deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants, build a wall, over turn Obama care, over turn abortion rights, over turn LGBT rights, keep minimum wage as is,eliminate overtime, ban immigrants who come from terrorist nations ( Muslims ), return stop and frisk, ignore climate change and many more draconian right wing nationalist agendas ! Donald Trump gambled on peoples " LOVE OF MONEY " or should I say " Money Is There God " over human beings. Those who voted for Donald Trump also have to take responsibility for breaking up and destroying millions of peoples lives and families forever, hope yall can sleep at night. Also if yall don't see your pay checks and wealth rise from Donald Trump presidency, then the joke, scam and con is on you, THE BIGGEST SUCKERS !

Politics Is A Dirty Game !
A couple weeks ago, I reminded a Brother who is running for mayor in the near future, to watch out for " Opposition Research " ? He later posted that he is not going to run a traditional campaign, he is going to be himself. My unsolicited advice was to let him know that less is more, when it comes to social media postings. That what ever you say publicly will be used against you in your campaign ( Opposite Research ), he basically let it be known that he did not care, he is going to run it the way he wants too. My friendly advice was just to help him but maybe I offended him ? One thing I do know is if a person is serious about running for office, expect your past, secrets and any and all dirt will be exposed publicly. Once a politician's dirt is exposed, his or her life and families life will never be the same again ! I wish this Brother well in his pursuit of being a " Mayor ", I hope he takes it seriously, because once you start running ,make sure you always think about the people first because if not, then people will feel used for a publicity stunt !

My Theory of The Death Of Keith Lamont Scott ?
I am sitting in my car rolling a blunt, when I look to my left or right and see two suspicious " European American " men staring at me, ( This is the South ) ! I get scared and show them I have a gun, too let them know " I A'int The One." They leave and come back and now there are " Police " yelling and banging on my windows, they are so close I could have shot threw my window. I don't and do the right thing by leaving the gun in the car while exiting with my hands by my side. As I am slowly walking backwards, I am shot 4 times by a African American officer who is standing by my car door. The African American officer reaches in my car and takes out the gun. He is the the last man to appear in one of the videos released, mostly you see his legs but he is clearly seen holding a gun in his shadow. He then is clearly seen handing something to a fellow " Police " officer wearing a red shirt under his bullet proof vest, who then put's it on the ground ? The gun was falsely planted ! Also, why only release the shooter's name ( Officer
Vincent ) ? What are the names of the other 4 officers involved ?

To Dissent is An American Constitutional Right ( Colin Kapernick ) !
I think people easily forget that as Americans, we have the right to our opinions and beliefs ! That is why it shocked me in the year 2016 that some people showed there hatred for Colin Kapernick ? This is nothing
new in our American History, that to dissent is a political way of standing up for our beliefs. Muhammad Ali in his boxing prime in 1967 refused to be drafted, and paid a heavy price being banned from boxing for 3 and a half years ! Not only that, he was looking at 5 year federal prison sentence for his beliefs and the Supreme Court reversed his conviction, based on his American Constitutional rights ! There are countless more Americans who have lost lives, money, careers and family for there Constitutional rights ! When I hear people say that Colin Kapernick should be punished for using his rights, I remind them that Colin Kapernick is an American and not a " Slave " !

What Makes An African American ?
The other day I was thinking about what makes us who we are ? Yes we are descendants of African King and Queens sold in to slavery by our own people then brought to Jamestown, Virginia in 1619! Yes its also true that we were stripped of our names, religion ( Islam ) and language, but what I am talking about is our unique way on how we see our selves ? I found out that many of our African Brothers and Sisters from other countries look at us as spoiled people who does not take advantage of opportunities we have in America ? And truly, I believe in some ways they are right but I remind those Brothers and Sisters, that if it was not for us, they also would not be able to have those rights. Since 1619 to 1865 us slaves contribute a minimum of 22 Trillion dollars of free labor to our country and if we ever got paid back, we would be the richest so call minority community in America ! My point is that we have come a long way and we have a long way to go, so let's celebrate our collective achievements instead of focusing on what is still wrong ! We have many problems still but " Keep Your Head Up " because know one can judge us collectively, until they lived our " History " !

Compliance To Police and Police Accountability ?
As a 49 year old Black Man, my experience dealing with Police are mixed because I was taught to always comply with them out of respect, not because I feared for my life. Most of my inter actions with them have been peaceful but there are several times I have run in conflict with them ! After 9-11, I was jumped by four under cover Police men because of my Islamic last name in a southern state . I believed they would of killed me if it was not for GOD sending this old man out of his house, turning on his house spot lights. I defended my self and broke a officer jaw in the process according to them, but they jumped in there white unmarked and sped off ! I had to leave this Southern state for fear of my life, but even though this happened to me I never felt hatred for Police in my heart, I live with my 5 fractures. I also remember being 16 years old riding through a " European American " neighborhood at night with other Black friends as my self, being pulled over IDeed and asked real nasty by a drunk cop, " Why are you " NIGGERS " in this neighborhood ? I felt fear in my heart but he let us go ! And also I had a business conflict with a major casino mogul out here in Las Vegas in 2002 and he had people follow me and a under cover cop pulled up to me and pointed his fingers like a gun to the side of his head and pulled an imaginary trigger ! Needless to say, I reported this incident to a US ATTORNEY and ever since then I never had a problem with Police again ? MY point is, if bad Police are never convicted and sent to prison for there abuse and deadly force, then nothing will change with out a " Police Man " being made as an " Example " !
