    Power exists in America. All Americans should have access to it, including black people. Black power shouldn’t be relegating to a 1970’s cultural anthem. It’s an attainable idea, TODAY! And it is not about racial dominance, but racial equity. I have a plan. I’m writing a book…

    This is my forever new year’s resolution (and has been for YEARS): I’ve decided to just do me. I’m the only person qualified to do that job and the only one capable of pulling it off!

    No, that’s research. Theories must be tested.

    SCORE! Just locked down an utterly surprising and counterintuitive collection of data about race in America. One that completely supports my central thesis. Made all of today’s work worthwhile.

    MARKETS: The Dow slips more than 600 points after a tumultuous day of trading in the wake of Apple's warning that the company's iPhone sales would come in lower than expected largely due to weak economic growth in China.

    You have to read the minutes from the proceeding. In cases like Louisiana they explain how they are establishing white supremacy without using that specific language in the document. It was diabolical…

    There’s a special place in JAIL waiting for them! As Sam Cooke put it, “I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky.” I want justice in the land of the living.

    The incessant, brazen lying is what will do the most damage to the US, trust me. 40% of the population, the most religious ones, have essentially said that morality is immaterial to leadership. But lying is a gateways sin, after which—or concurrent with—all things are possible

    No more. When I’m reading the minutes of state constitutional conventions and the speakers say on the record that the very purpose of the convention is to establish white supremacy, there is no more doubt. And those constitutions stood for 60+ years, some features even longer!

    Pelosi on vacationing during shutdown. “The fact is we all stood ready and told our members we would give them 24 hours’ notice to be where they need to be. The president may not know this but Hawaii is part of the United States. ... Maybe he does not know that,” she said on NBC

    FYI: I’m not writing a racial history book. Actual historians have done that. I’m writing a liberation plan for right NOW!

    “In the South…the whites had before the [Civil] War no sense of personal repulsion from the Negro.” WHAT?! My head is exploding reading this book.

    Readers like you are the ones who have me petrified. Lol. I’m not a historian, but for this project I must include quite a bit of historical context. Want to make sure that I get it right.

    I have also been reading notes, letters, speaks and minutes from the end of reconstruction period. The degree to which politicians said outright that their intentions were to establish white supremacy is shocking. Shouldn’t be, but it is.

    Currently reading volume II of these massive books. The language is so profoundly disturbing.

    Chased a theory for four hours today only to have it fizzle. Oh well, that’s book writing and research. Onward…
