No one doubts that racial miscegenation between different racial groups results in cultural miscegenation or cultural mixing between different groups, creating the conditions for the birth of a new racial identity, but also a new cultural identity. Just as different racial mixtures produce a genetically hybrid person, they also produce a person with a hybrid culture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as a new racial identity is born as a result of the mixture of race, a new mixture of culture is also born among these groups, a process of cultural mixing from which a new culture emerges that is different from the primary culture in which the biracial mulattoes have a different from their parents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Subculture of people of mixed race which is part of two cultures in the same way that the biracial mulatto identity is part of two dominant racial groups. This is where deeply analyzing how this hybrid culture, which is part of the mentality, affects the behavior, aspirations, sense of belonging, personal value, personality, intelligence and sense of identity of biracial mulattoes. as extremely important to understand the origin of the racial identity crisis that some biracial mulattoes have.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a way to stop racial miscegenation between different racial groups, whites people created the black code, Jim Crow laws and racial segregation, but they also dehumanized biracial mulattoes from the right to racial self-identification, which deprived them of create a new community of people different from both dominant racial groups, which attempted against the idea of racial superiority of whites over blacks.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a way to stop cultural mixing, blacks used emotional manipulation and family exclusion in which self-hatred of being black or being anti-black is the weapon used to stop the right to self-determination of biracial mulattoes as a way to stop the supposed negative effects that the hybrid sub culture of the biracial mulattoes could produce in the "culture of the blacks".</p><p><br /></p><p>Many social science scholars, when they analyze social behavior, population migration and cultural integration processes, know that when two cultures collide, there is the possibility that one culture absorbs another culture (assimilation), there is also the possibility that the combination of both cultures (amalgamation) produces another culture different from the original one and let's not talk about when a culture takes elements from other cultures (transculturation).</p><p><br /></p><p>When a process of miscegenation occurs between two different racial groups who culturally have some notable differences, apart from producing a new racial identity, it also produces a new cultural identity. The union of a white American with a European mindset with a black woman with an African-American mindset. You must assume that the racial results will be different but also the cultural result of intercultural mixing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of young biracial mulatto boys or girls have a behavior, personal value, racial identity and vision of themselves which is different from both parents. In the same way that black youth feel out of place when raised by a white family, white youth raised by a black family feel the same way. That tells you that biracial mulatto boys or girls feel the same when they are raised by couples from different racial groups in which the sense of belonging is compromised..</p><p><br /></p><p>Many psychologists who study cognitive development conclude that infants tend to imitate the behavior of their caregivers, which is later an element that can determine the type of behavior, personality and personal assessment that the male or female infant has of himself or her itself imitating, assimilating and learning the cultural customs of the main caregiver. </p><p><br /></p><p>When a family of people of mixed race have a child, racial miscegenation is inevitable, contrary to cultural miscegenation or cultural mixing which is associated with the upbringing and presence of both parents culturally different for this to be a reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of a biracial child, the racial identity and culture of the primary caregiver greatly conditions the development of the biracial mulatto child's personality, but also cultural exposure. If the black mother is the first caregiver of the biracial child, this biracial child, as part of the development process during childhood, will imitate all that is related to the mother's personality, but also cultural customs.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When the mother is white and the father is black, the reverse effect is produced in the cultural miscegenation process of the biracial child, in which the biracial child tends to identify with the culture of the white mother, more than that of the black father. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If the white father or the black father is part of the process of emotional and cognitive development of the biracial child, this diminishes the cultural influence of the black mother during upbringing, creating the conditions so that apart from being a biracial child genetically speaking, this child will also have a mixed culture, which is a subculture to those of their parents. </p><p><br /></p><p>Young biracial boys and girls, product of racial miscegenation as a form of adaptation mechanism and acceptance with family, tend to create a vision of themselves which is a hybrid of both parents, where apart from accepting an identity with the dominant race, they also tend without knowing it. , to integrate in a single cultural identity, the cultural differences of both parents. Children of mixed-race parents tend to have a different culture than their parents, which is the result of the integration of the parent's primary culture.</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">How much can the mulatto culture impact the black community? </h2><p><br /></p><p>In order to know the impact of a culture, we must first recognize it. If it has been difficult to recognize the racial differences within the United States between a biracial mulatto, a light-skinned black person, and a white person, that tells you that recognizing the existence of a culture that is the product of this racial miscegenation is almost impossible.</p><p><br /></p><p>The biracial mulattoes have never seen themselves as part of an independent community on its own. Product of the emotional, family and historical connection that exists between a biracial mulatto and black parents, biracial mulattoes have always been included and seen by whites as part of the black community, which integrates the mulatto culture with the culture black.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now there are many biracial mulatto historians, scientists, politicians, business owners, entrepreneurs, famous writers and artistic figures who are seen as part of the black community, which diminishes the visibility and recognition of mulatto culture in the United States, which limits the mulattos in the creation of their own community. Creation of a community which may or may not weaken the black community in general, but it is one of the political blackmails that black leaders have always used against biracial mulattoes to keep them in line.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many would say that black culture is only a subculture within American culture dominated by whites. The mulatto culture would also become one more subculture in the United States which is dominated by the white culture and the black subculture. Just as many cannot distinguish the Afro-American culture from the American culture, so many do not know how to distinguish the biracial mulatto culture from the black culture.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you look at the behavior of biracial mulattoes and compare them to the behavior of dark-skinned blacks and whites in tone how they talk, what topics they talk about, what kind of clothes they wear, what kind of music they listen to, what they enjoy doing , attitudes towards life, but also the way they see themselves. You can clearly observe the differences between these three racial groups, which translates into cultural differences, within the same culture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some time in the future African-Americans and whites will recognize the contributions and existence of biracial mulattoes in the construction of American society. This process is inevitable and more so when you recognize the contributions of other subcultures in American culture. Biracial mulattoes cannot live forever under the shadow of the black community.</p><p><br /></p><p>The racial identity and cultural contribution of biracial mulattoes is something that will be a reality in the future, regardless of whether or not blacks and whites recognize biracial mulattoes as an independent community, where biracial can find a place where each of the Members have the same racial mix, personal experience, self-respect, self-acceptance, goals, dreams, and sense of identity that they can embrace and not be forced to pretend to be who they are not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now, biracial mulattoes do not possess the sense of identity associated with a community that represents them as a racial group of people of mixed race, but also, a biracial mulatto community where biracial mulattoes can use as a forum for discussion, social support, economic advice, emotional assistance, support group and political vision that promotes the ideas, dreams, needs, culture, lifestyle, problems and challenges facing biracial mulattoes in the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have always believed that racism, discrimination or exclusion and lack of access to opportunities are not the main reasons for the situation of inequality in which blacks find themselves, compared to whites. Until you analyze how the black subculture is part of the reason for this racial disparity between blacks and whites, there will be no recognizable changes, especially the ghetto culture in the most impoverished black neighborhoods. Negative elements of the black subculture that can only be neutralized through education.</p><p><br /></p><p>Racial miscegenation between blacks and whites is not the solution to the problems of inequality facing blacks right now. There are elements of the black subculture which are holding blacks back in achieving economic and social goals which can be considered as responsible for the situation. Biracial children tend not to be negatively influenced by negative elements of the black subculture to the same extent as children with both black parents, product of cultural mixing between parents of different racial groups.</p><p><br /></p><p>In another future work we will focus on analyzing what are the elements of the black subculture (ghetto culture) which are partly responsible for the economic inequality that exists between blacks and whites. black poverty some sociologists consider that it is associated with the "ghetto culture," failure to marry, but also the problems faced by the black population such as absent fathers, single mothers and problems associated with non-standard family structure.</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-91974851679597331822023-09-18T15:20:00.001-07:002023-09-18T15:20:49.132-07:00What are the challenges facing interracial marriages right now?<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRhGnqLffgZQNm43tRXNKSHbSZxvodWhxOzGYJ0prTypbRSycLyEiye4xYRlFBIJ1gdug9ifSL6f6Z1l20zlvfojOHUdAtm16LIOXxhKLEFOQoTPkGGd8bItv5Ou3aL2RjbrdAh3xucAbEi-PsK0lgoxYJiedTRidlDCnNM9SqAcZf94d82kr25ErVqg/s1920/ugly%20%20black%20woman%2006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="interracial marriages" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRhGnqLffgZQNm43tRXNKSHbSZxvodWhxOzGYJ0prTypbRSycLyEiye4xYRlFBIJ1gdug9ifSL6f6Z1l20zlvfojOHUdAtm16LIOXxhKLEFOQoTPkGGd8bItv5Ou3aL2RjbrdAh3xucAbEi-PsK0lgoxYJiedTRidlDCnNM9SqAcZf94d82kr25ErVqg/s16000/ugly%20%20black%20woman%2006.jpg" title="interracial marriages" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>When we talk about marriages between people of different racial groups, we must first accept that the concept of marriage is only a traditional act in many cultures which implies the union of two people based on social and religious customs that a society considers normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marriage is also considered as the legal union of two people in which both have rights and duties under this marriage contract based on the laws of each nation. The marital union or concubinage were always considered as immoral unions because they break with the established social norms for the unit between a man and a woman considered morally accepted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marriage between people of different races (mixed-race marriage) is new, but marital unions between different racial groups are not. If we look at it within a historical context we will realize that racial mixing has been going on long before the concept of race was a source of contention in modern societies.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the era of slavery, the post-racial era and right now the concept of race is being used as a synonym for the superiority of one race over another, especially when we talk about the superiority of the white race over the black. This idea of racial superiority is one of the reasons that justifies racial discrimination against blacks in many nations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marriages between blacks and whites in many Latin American nations, although legally accepted, were morally criticized by the white elites of these nations as a result of racism and religious beliefs. On the contrary, in the United States, interracial marriages were legally prohibited until 1967, when the Supreme Court of the United States ruled unanimously in Loving v. Virginia that anti-miscegenation laws were unconstitutional.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prejudices and taboos of interracial marriages Interracial marriages have their pros and cons is something that we cannot deny and even more so if this union occurs between a person of white race and another of black race. The negative attitudes, taboos, emotions and stereotypes associated with this marriage union is something that modern society still does not overcome despite the fact that marital unions and concubinage have always been part of the social behavior of many multiracial nations for centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>"In the case of the United States and a large majority of nations in Latin America in which blacks, whites and the indigenous population predominate, this type of relationship has existed since the foundation of these nations that have a slave-owning past."</p><p><br /></p><p>When you analyze the different racial mixtures in many nations in Latin America and the Caribbean where miscegenation is notable, in the inhabitants of these nations we realize that the unions between different racial groups is the reason for the racial diversity that we all know. The mestizo, mulatto and sambo population are the most recognized by all historians and sociologists when they speak of population growth in Latin America and the Caribbean.</p><p><br /></p><p>"Sexual relations between different racial ethnic groups have existed since the moment these groups were formed in all inhabited regions of planet Earth, and more so at this time in which all societies are part of the phenomenon of globalization which pushes more different racial groups to integration."</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What are the challenges of an interracial marriage in the USA?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p>Every marital relationship between two people always has its challenges and the union between a black person and a white person is no exception. If we add racial differences as an element that hinders the social acceptance of this type of union in a racially divided society, it increases the challenges of this relationship, and more so when we talk about individuals who seek social approval in everything they do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Racial differences (phenotypes) that in many cases are closely associated with ethnic and cultural differences, which would also be ingredients that would create more difficulties in the long-term maintenance of this interracial relationship. "If individuals with different racial characteristics know the real reasons why they choose outside their group, in all cases these racial differences do not determine the success or failure of the relationship."</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the criticism and social opposition of marriages between people of different racial groups, in recent times there has been an increase in this type of interracial unions in many nations of the world. In many Western nations, due to the multiracial and ethnic nature of the population, they are the ones that most present this new phenomenon of racial integration through the marriages of people from different racial groups.</p><p><br /></p><p>People at this time are more willing to face the social prejudices, criticisms and challenges associated with this type of interracial relationship. Especially the new generations, which are not subject to rules imposed by social norms of a post-slavery past that they do not know. The preference of individuals to choose a partner from another racial group, which breaks a little the traditional customs that people have of looking for a partner within the same racial ethnic group is something that is changing at the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>How difficult is it to be in a biracial union right now?</b> That depends on the reasons for this union, in which the good things (pros) that bring this couple together outweigh the bad things (cons) that separate them. How strong the emotional connection between both individuals is is one of the most important factors that determines the failure or success of this type of relationship.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also believe that the type of cultural traditions, social activities, personal tastes, vision towards the future, common interests, type of religious beliefs and lifestyle will ultimately determine the quality, duration and possibility of success of this type of marital relationship. , not the racial or cultural differences that exist between the individuals who form this new type of marriage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">How are children affected when they have parents of different races?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p>Another thing that every interracial marriage (people of different races) must take into account is the type of education they will give their children, who will be considered mixed race by society and the prejudices they will have to face against children whose parents possess a well-defined breed type.</p><p><br /></p><p>But also take into consideration that racially these children will not be able to self-identify by choosing a particular racial group that reflects one of the parents to the detriment of the other. These children will have a different racial category than the parents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing how it will affect the self-esteem of mixed-race children of parents of different races is something that must be taken into account, many before they come into the world, as a way of having an adequate handling of this reality as a way of preventing any type of emotional damage. or of behavior that the racial differences of the parents can have in the psyche of these children.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another situation that we also have to take into account when we talk about the upbringing of mixed-race children, apart from racial differences, is the cultural differences that may exist between both parents (religious beliefs, type of language, folk traditions, etc.). ), to establish from the beginning which cultural elements will be dominant in this family nucleus, as a way to create an environment of consistency in terms of the cultural identification of mixed-race children.</p><p><br /></p><p>Conclusion: If you are a person of black, white, indigenous, Asian or Middle Eastern race and you plan to marry a person of a different race than yours, the geographic location, and how important are for you the cultural norms of Your parents in many situations will determine the success or failure of this relationship.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing is the levels of social and cultural acceptance of interracial or biracial marriages in a multiracial society, such as the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and another thing is the acceptance of this type of marriage in a homogeneous society where a single group Racial is the predominant one, as is the case in many Eastern nations such as China and Japan.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-33260225054555437342022-05-24T07:31:00.004-07:002024-02-07T14:31:46.675-08:00Analysis of the myth behind blacks passing for whites, from a biracial perspective<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8w6wRAaJP3dD3jMv5LBPSO3_-L2k_B3H-G0wCBVxGeB027AtrkcaTRwpgRTs6SRP7AUd4_v_WESPhKsVZwb94sZoS4mk3jfk9PwLLhXUpaelikeCsI4kRA2JVPHxmNSWVeoDW-k6RLYVKZd89PbCADBKFZ4RhBrJaeijDQxD3wuaD1y0H59IwO1mG/s1280/passing%20withe%2003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8w6wRAaJP3dD3jMv5LBPSO3_-L2k_B3H-G0wCBVxGeB027AtrkcaTRwpgRTs6SRP7AUd4_v_WESPhKsVZwb94sZoS4mk3jfk9PwLLhXUpaelikeCsI4kRA2JVPHxmNSWVeoDW-k6RLYVKZd89PbCADBKFZ4RhBrJaeijDQxD3wuaD1y0H59IwO1mG/s16000/passing%20withe%2003.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Many people when analyzing historical events, sometimes make the mistake of seeing it from a perspective associated with the expectations of the present, where behavior, values, knowledge, morality, personal experience and human aspirations are considered different from the past. Some academics, are creating the narrative of a slave past applying the modern concept as a way to justify ideas that do not correspond with the reality of that particular moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ask a simple question!! can a black really pass as white? Can a biracial or mulatto pass as white? Can a Quadroon or optorron pass as a white person? What might be the reasons why some people with black or biracial ancestors (grandparents or great-grandparents?) preferred to identify as white? In this video we will analyze the reasons behind the myth of a black person passing as white.</p><p><br /></p><p>How to debunk the myth of blacks passing as white? Knowing the historical facts from an objective perspective, using the census data of the time is the only way to understand this false narrative when some academics allege that some black people pass as white, an idea which is associated with the application of a racial classification based in the One drop rule, on event in which this racial classification was not the norm. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some scholars use this narrative to promote the one drop rule as a way to shame those biracial who preferred to identify with the white side of their racial heritage by making them feel like they hate the black side. This behavior of making biracial feel bad when they chose an identity other than black as emotional blackmail and the narrative myth of black passing as white falls within this behavior.</p><p><br /></p><p>When talking about blacks who passed as white during the era of racial segregation and reconstruction in the Unites States, it falls into that category of applying ideas of the present to events of the past. A black never passed as white during racial segregation unless we apply the one drop rule retroactively, which creates this false narrative that a black passed as white, during slavery, racial segregation but also during the post-emancipation period. In reality no black person passed as white, unless we remove from American history the mulatto, quadron and optorron identity.</p><p><br /></p><p>To understand the mystique associated with blacks passing as whites, we must know a little about the origin of these racial classifications. The very first census sorted the population into three racialized citizenship categories: “Free white males [and] females”; “All other free persons”; and “Slaves.” In 1820, “All other free persons” was later altered to “Free colored males and females.” However, the biggest change was the division between “black” and “mulatto” a few decades later.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is particularly evident when looking at censuses taken between 1850 and 1930, a period of rapid change that saw the end of slavery and the beginning of Jim Crow. "The category 'mulatto' was added in 1850 at the request of a 'racial scientist,' Josiah Nott," says Melissa Nobles, professor of political science at MIT and author of Shades of Citizenship: Race and the Census in Modern Politics. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is where the revision of historical facts to fill a narrative when the nature of these facts changes falls within what some define as historically fabricated falsehood which distorts historical events to conform the narrative of a particular group which benefits with the promotion of these black-centric narratives.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1890 two new categories appeared: "quadroon" and "octoroon", indicating a quarter and an eighth of African descent, respectively. According to the white supremacist concept of the “one drop rule”, a person of African descent could not access the same social, legal and economic privileges reserved for whites. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1930, white statisticians recognized that deciding whether someone is "black," "mulatto," "quadroon," or "octoroon" on a census form is subjective, and replaced all of these categories with "black" (that census also included " Other." "Indian," "Mexican," and five categories for people from South or East Asia). </p><p><br /></p><p>When you analyze historical data on different racial groups, this is where the mystique of black passing as white collapses. This census data reinforces the argument that black passing as white is just a fictionalized narrative of black centrist ideas. </p><p><br /></p><p>If this narrative speaks of mulattoes, quadroon and octoroon passing as white, it is something that can be credible, but not when a black passes as white, This type of story which often dramatizes the life of those people with a black ancestor whose desire to be white is questioned, negatively portrayed, without analyzing the family, social, economic and emotional reasons for this choice. </p><p><br /></p><p> For these academics, making those who choose to identify or live as white, despite having some black ancestor, feel guilty or shameful is an emotional tool used to force mixed-race and biracial people to identify as black right now by those who promote this false narratives..</p><p><br /></p><p>Many historians who support the use of the one drop rule when making any analysis, when they speak of blacks passing as white, look at the historical facts from a subjective perspective, not from an objective perspective, concluding with these stories which perpetuates the narrative that everyone who has a drop of black blood is black with the reason behind that false conclusion. This is where analyzing historical facts with a modern perspective almost always ends up with a conclusion based on an incorrect assumption.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where, the label of black It is used for a person with African heritage in which the of one drop rule is used as a political tolls, to guarantee the strengthening of that black ideal, But at the same time deny rights and access to wealth to people of mixed race by whites with ideas of race supremacy. that they try to sell when it comes to the narrative of blacks passing as white. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is an idea that offends both blacks and whites who listen to this narrative. .Logical thinking tells you that a black has a 0% chance of passing as a white, a mulatto cannot pass as a white either, a quadroon has a 25% chance of passing as a white, but an octorron has an 80% chance of passing as a white.</p><p><br /></p><p>How can a black pass as white? This is only possible by applying the one drop of blood rule to a mixed race individual such as the mulatto, quadroon and octoroon. Being a bit realistic knowing the different racial phenotype product of racial miscegenation, that tells you, that if you are mulattos you could not pass as white, Contrary to a quadroon and octorron. </p><p>This is where applying contemporary ideas to past events is a mistake and applying the one drop of blood rule retroactively when blacks passing as whites is a myth historically created by those blacks who are mentally enslaved by a white-created narrative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quadroon: A person who is thought to be of one-quarter African descent and three-quarters European descent. Octoroon: A person who is of one-eighth African descent and seven-eighths European descent. Both the Quadroon and the octorron have a genetic inheritance which has large Possibilities of creating Caucasian phenotypic characteristics of white people, who can actually pass as white during racial segregation, but also at this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Black only passes as white, if that black is seen from a racial perspective of this moment, applying the one drop blood rule retroactively to past events which creates this kind of historically misleading narrative. There are many people who promote the rule of one drop of blood, who look at the identity of the quadroon and octorron not from a historical perspective, but from a political perspective creating a narrative based on subjective conclusions, not on the facts. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many black-centric mindsets based on the one drop of blood rule look at the quadroon and octorron as black as a way of promoting that false narrative of some blacks passing as white, When in fact they were people considered as colure, having African descent who for some reason passed as white. The problem with this type of false narrative is that it creates the feeling that those people who were passing as white were denying their true racial classification, out of shame for their African heritage. This is where the term black is used as a way to exclude people of mixed race or color from history during racial segregation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Those same people who promote the narrative of black passing as white, are the same people who say that Barack Obama was the first black president of the United States, even though his mother was white. The existence of people of mixed race doesn't matter when you use the one drop of blood rule to maintain a narrative that defies reality. That's what happens when we talk about blacks passing as white and Barack Obama as the first black president.</p><p><br /></p><p>Blacks in the United States are so conditioned by the propaganda of white supremacy that right now they are promoting, defending and applying the one drop of blood rule retroactively when they analyze the historical facts about the existence of mulattoes , Quadroon and octorron or person of color with an African ancestor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many analysts of human behavior recognize that the most difficult chains to break are not the ones we see, but the ones in our minds. Many blacks in the United States have not been able to break mental slavery that controls their minds.</p><p><br /></p><p>That a member of a racial or ethnic group passes as a member of another grace or ethnic group is not a new social phenomenon. When we talk about passing as a member of a different racial group than the one you belong to. Within the context of the history of the United States passing is something that many document mostly when we talk about blacks passing as white, but the same effort is never made when a person of mixed race passes as black as the case of mulattoes and biracial.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why do we never hear stories of mulattoes passing as black or people of mixed race passing as white? Because such a story does not produce the same interest as when a black person passes as white, even though we all know that this is impossible unless we apply the one-drop rule to historical actors accused of passing as white, denying their African heritage. This is where the history associated with passing is used as a mechanism to shame those who dare deny their black heritage and embrace their white heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The moment you stop applying the one drop of blood rule retroactively to people of mixed race or mulattoes, quadroon or octorron at that moment the myth of blacks passing as whites disappears. One thing is a black person passing as white and another thing is a biracial or mixed race person passing as white. That a person of mixed race passes as white is expected, just as a mulatto is expected to pass as black, and this type of passing story does not produce the emotional drama associated with a black passing as white.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why is the story of passing relevant in the United States when we talk about black people acting as if they were white? Because there is a part of the black community who do not want to give up that idea of a single drop of blood makes you black or if you have an African ancestor it makes you black. </p><p><br /></p><p>Racial classification based on Rule one drop of blood which, despite the fact that biologically speaking it is impossible, is part of the narrative introduced by whites to solidify in the mentality of blacks that they are less than whites, but also guaranteed the purity of the white race .</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-30559430282993258182022-05-23T18:57:00.002-07:002022-05-23T19:02:58.038-07:00Is Trump the cause of the rise in racism, Antisemitism and anti-immigrant sentiments in the US?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInreUjurgECRdwFxV0mmH2jRLq4jGmiuXH70XfHYldDaImkzyRKWlH9wQzCXhRheGPX_0IDBmm6vTDVJalp3khUKMlCPgzlv2Dwp9iL_SM7rkFNLuFllcbrUG9hmh0ZDdfriIdt36ejpNSq_xfFHdVKjC-OU3rP37DI020X2pqRWu9atQT1c1aHIx/s1280/black%20people%204.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInreUjurgECRdwFxV0mmH2jRLq4jGmiuXH70XfHYldDaImkzyRKWlH9wQzCXhRheGPX_0IDBmm6vTDVJalp3khUKMlCPgzlv2Dwp9iL_SM7rkFNLuFllcbrUG9hmh0ZDdfriIdt36ejpNSq_xfFHdVKjC-OU3rP37DI020X2pqRWu9atQT1c1aHIx/s16000/black%20people%204.png" title="Donald Trump" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><p> <span face=""Work Sans", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">When you observe the rise in racism, anti-semitism, and anti-immigrant behavior of Donald Trump, many times we come to the conclusion that the president is responsible for these feelings in a part of the population which shares this type of thinking.

An idea that forces some to pretend to be a good boy, when seeking acceptance from others. It is one thing to seek the acceptance of a coworker and another thing to seek the acceptance of that girl that you are pursuing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only problem with this kind of good boy upbringing is that when it comes to winning the love of a girl, being a good boy may not be the best solution to impress a girl's heart right now. Studies have shown that girls, when choosing a partner, look for something from their future partner; A sense of security, self-control, a good sense of humor, and personal ambitions are characteristics that impress women when a man possesses these qualities.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the guys to reach the heart of a girl they like, they must understand that the many at this moment expect more than good manners and respect towards girls. For some reasons that many who study human behavior, when choosing a partner in a loving relationship, being a good guy is not the quality that most attracts a girl.</p><p><br /></p><p>That old idea that girls expect to be treated like princes when you're falling in love with her is a strategy that doesn't work right now. If you want to attract the attention of that girl that you like, treat her with respect, but above all, try to fill the expectations that she has and that can only be achieved by knowing that particular girl. Every girl likes to consider herself as unique and special, not like a princess who is waiting for that blue prince from<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fairy_tales" rel="nofollow"> fairy tales</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The faster you understand this reality, as a boy chasing a girl, to succeed in making her fall in love with you, being yourself is your best weapon. Girls like originality, boys who know want it and do what they want, one when society criticizes it, maybe that's why bad boys are very lucky to get the attention of the girl they like. .</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, we have the general idea that girls like nice, polite and well-mannered guys, guys who treat them like princesses, which may be a mistake on your part if you want that girl to pay attention. How much of this is fiction or reality? In my case, I think I have an answer to this dilemma that girls and boys face right now when they talk about this syndrome, "Be a nice guy" to get the girl you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>When we talk about this issue we have a difference between a boy who is genuinely a good boy and those who simply pretend to be a good boy as a strategy to get the heart of the girl he likes. When it comes to conquering a girl's heart, any strategy is good if you get the results you expect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any relationship expert will always tell you that the best way to get to the heart of the girl you like is to be yourself. We must accept that this formula sometimes does not work when you are trying to impress a girl, who expects you to meet her expectations on the first meeting. </p><p><br /></p><p>They both show their best selves and in some cases many of them exaggerate who they really are to impress the person of the opposite sex. Some scholars of human behavior think that a guy with a bad reputation or what society considers a "bad guy" has a much better chance of getting girls against a nice guy.</p><p><br /></p><p> I think this idea is a popular speculation product of the characters in dramatic movies offered to those who consume it. The true expectation a girl has when she thinks of that ideal boyfriend is that he treat her with respect, love, and consideration. In short as queen.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a false belief on social media that good guys are always last when it comes to getting girls. As a boy who is in love with a girl you should never fall for the mystique of the "nice guy" because his chances of having a stable relationship are greatly diminished.</p><p><br /></p><p>Girls are attracted to guys who are in control of their lives and know how to handle any situation and many times the good guy does not meet these expectations. You can be a good boy, but at the same time showing confidence in yourself, demanding what you want or expect from her as a girlfriend and not accepting all her wishes, many times it is your best strategy for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really want that girl you like to fall in love with you? Don't use the nice guy strategy, much less using the princess syndrome who needs to be rescued by a blue prince. Girls right now, influenced by social media, that good boy attitude and demeanor with a hero mentality is considered a thing of the past and boring.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a young man chasing a girl, something you must understand, when you chase the love or attention of a girl, many of them just want to have a good time and enjoy the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are a guy who is looking for a long-term love relationship, being yourself should be your first option, but as a guy, you are so interested in that girl that many of you use as a technique to get girls, you pretend to be who you don't you really are and that almost always ends in failure, like love relationships supported by the "nice guys" syndrome.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-65314987194274181622021-11-27T09:02:00.007-08:002022-05-23T16:19:53.551-07:00Black entrepreneurs: How the wrong mindset prevents you from being successful in your business?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZqI8M9LCUKE/YaJkUK4okAI/AAAAAAAALgM/GNmGixE-4TE2v4-1rdNiftSKdBMzSA3zQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/pexels-fauxels-3184292%2B%25286%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="black small business owners in the US" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZqI8M9LCUKE/YaJkUK4okAI/AAAAAAAALgM/GNmGixE-4TE2v4-1rdNiftSKdBMzSA3zQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/pexels-fauxels-3184292%2B%25286%2529.png" title="black small business owners in the US" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> As a new African-American entrepreneur who wants to open your first business, there are a series of challenges that you must face if you want to be successful in your first business. Lack of experience, lack of financing, a good business idea, geographical location, ignorance of the market, bad credit, fear of leaving a stable job, are many reasons that prevent you from making the decision to start your own business.</p><p>I have the belief that for many decades, one of the great problems that you face as an Afro-American to produce wealth by starting your own business, your greatest challenge is to understand how the mindset that you have about business is the real reasons that prevent you start your own business. As a way to begin to diminish this disparity in the ability to produce wealth that exists between Afro-Americans and whites in the United States, changing the mindset should be the first step.</p><p>When you analyze the impact of a question such as, why do whites produce more wealth than African Americans? Usually many people will automatically associate the answer to two variables to consider; where the first is always associated with a historical past of slavers in which blacks were property, which prevented them from producing wealth, much less accumulating the fruit of their work and let alone transferring that wealth to new generations.</p><p>The second variable to consider is that, white people who were slave owners, black slaves who were used as production tools whose work was mostly free, when we talk about transferring "capital" money from employers to employees. Slave owners who also owned the means of production, but also the commodity produced, unlike black slaves who did not have the ability to produce wealth, much less the ability to accumulate it. But, they were not able to produce the transfer of wealth to the new generations.</p><p>In the past, black slaves did not have the ability to produce wealth, much less pass that wealth on to their children, but right now, what prevents African Americans from producing wealth? It is the topic that we will try to analyze trying to find answers to this question.</p><p>This is where the change of mindset is an element to understand, to create in the minds of the new generations the possibilities that they have in front of them if they understand how a mindset of the past is limiting the decisions that young African Americans must make in the present, to create the conditions of producing wealth in the United States.</p><p>When you look at the huge disparity in wealth possession and let's not talk about the inequality in annual earnings among African Americans compared to the white population, these figures are numbers that can be considered alarming. Numbers which create in you the idea that whites are more likely to produce wealth than blacks. But, this is trend in the accumulation of wealth which can change.</p><p>I believe that this change is in the hands of African Americans, if they really want to stop this economic trend. It all starts with a change in mindset in the way Afro-Americans view themselves in a market economy. Changing old mental habits is difficult, but everything is possible if you identify which are those bad mental habits that are stopping your economic growth.</p><p>As an African American, as a way to change your mindset, there are a number of questions that you must answer. A) Do you consider yourself a leader or a follower?. B) Do you have a buyer or seller mentality?. C) Do you have an employee or business owner mindset?. D) Do you consider yourself a winner or a loser?.</p><p>As a last question, are you afraid of failure or success? The answer to each of these questions will give you an idea, if you have a mentality of poor people conditioned not to produce wealth or a mentality of rich people conditioned to produce money.</p><p>Something that you have to understand when talking about how to produce wealth, If being successful and making money in business is easy, everyone would be doing it. In order to produce wealth there are a series of steps that you must know as a way to be successful whatever the business you want to establish. </p><p>The answers you gave in the previous questions will give you an idea of your emotional health, personality type, good or bad mental habits, and the good or bad attitudes that can limit the decisions you must make if you want to earn money as a new entrepreneur. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What are the reasons for not starting a business? </h2><p>Regardless of your racial group, something you must understand starting a new business is not an easy task. What are the fears that have you paralyzing your decision? Unfounded fears or fear of failure, lack of experience, you do not have the support of your friends or family, you do not like to deal with people, you do not have money, you do not have the right idea, you have bad credit, you do not have experience in business, fear of doing something new are some of the reasons why you don't start your own business? These reasons are based on reality or old mental habits are controlling your decision..</p><p>As African Americans, if you want to accumulate wealth, having your own business is the best strategy to use to achieve this economic goal. You can use all the excuses for not starting your own business or being an entrepreneur, but those excuses are what is stopping your progress, not who your business idea is aimed at. I have the belief that a business is not built with an excuse, it is built with action.</p><p>The best way to overcome a fear is to face it and starting a business paralyzes you, just start that business. If you are inexperienced, there are thousands of courses on the internet that teach you how to run a small business. If your fears are not real or imagined, consult a professional behaviorist and you will find the answers.</p><p>If you think that your ideas will be a failure, look for a market analyst and they will know how good your business idea is. If you don't have the money to start your business, start small to see if your idea is profitable. As an African American, don't use your skin color as an excuse to start a business, but neither to look for an economic partner in a business idea in which you really believe. Believe me, if your business ideas are good and produce profits for white investors, the least they care about is your skin color.</p><p>As an African American you have to break with that loser mentality that is part of the black community. How to break with the mentality of losers that some African Americans have? Understanding the origin of this defeatist mentality in a slavery past may help you, but right now you are a free man or woman who makes your own decisions. </p><p>You may have grown up with the mentality of not trusting what white people say or do or the system is against people like you. On that side, Don't be afraid to learn something new, even from people you consider your enemy.</p><p> Right now, if you want to break the cycle of poverty, something you must understand is that you must leave behind those old attitudes associated with racial inequality in America and not be afraid to learn new economic strategies that benefit you, as a person. .</p><p>Learning how to accumulate and produce wealth should be your goal right now, not spending all your time looking for solutions to old problems that have kept blacks in poverty for centuries. As African Americans something that you should always have in your mind if you want to have exist, Don't worry about things you don't control.</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">As an African American business owner, what can you learn from Foreigners in the US?</h2><p>If for historical reasons you can break with the feeling of mistrust that white people represent to you as black, something that is important when talking about the United States is that you can learn from foreigners in the way they establish their businesses. Foreigners who many times do not speak the language and those who speak it do not understand it. What is the difference between these foreigners and African Americans? It is that these foreigners have a business mindset.</p><p>As African Americans, you can observe that in many black neighborhoods in large cities, on one corner you have a small supermarket run by Dominicans or Boricuas, on another corner you have a Jewish store that sells household items, in Another corner you have an Indian store that sells liquor or lottery tickets, Italians who have restaurants, Koreans selling wigs and extensions to black women and let's not talk about the Chinese selling fast food. As you see, you have a lot of business opportunity, everything is a matter of visualizing that business idea and implementing it.</p><p>Right now, as a product of the enormous power that online businesses represent, no one doubts that this has increased the possibilities of owning your own business, but also greater possibilities of selling a business idea that you as an entrepreneur see many possibilities. </p><p>As African Americans, that will also open up new opportunities and possibilities to create the type of business that you envision, taking into account your budget, your talent, the type of product or service that you sell to consumers, but also your experience as an entrepreneur starting a business. new business.</p><p>With the popularity of online stores right now, something you should understand is that, Accept the things that you are not good at, and take advantage of what you are good at. One of the best strategies to be successful in a business is not what you know, but the knowledge and experience of the people around you. </p><p>Success comes not from the smartest entrepreneur, but how this entrepreneur uses the intelligence of others. An attitude that you must have as an African American, Whatever you do, try to be better than everyone else, does not matter the type of work you do or the type of business you run.</p><p>If you are an African American Entrepreneur, Which Mindset Should You Avoid If You Want To Be Successful In Your Business? It is a question that many ask, but </p><p>few know the answer to this question. Many times, some people have problems leaving behind those old mental habits, which limit their growth as an entrepreneur, but the problem is not in the bad habits, but in identifying what these bad habits are.</p><p>When you always do the same and you have the same results, it is time to analyze the strategy you are using if you want to change the results. change the mindset that the success of others, is an example of the failure of what you do and want is a simple way to understand the problem. You can learn from your failures, but also from the successes of others including those who are your competitors. As a business owner, never let your personal ego interfere with the way you run your business.</p><p>As an African American entrepreneur, one of the characteristics that define the success of your business is based on three elements: Sense of direction, strategies to use, and goals. You should have a feeling for where your business is heading, what your short and long-term goals are, but also what are the strategies to follow to achieve those goals that you have as a business owner. </p><p>These business goals will be supported by the meaning of the word success for you. The moment you have a definition of what is success for you? Each of your personal effort, mental energy, creativity, persistence, and business strategy will be in focus, in which persistence will be the engine that will lead you to achieve your goal, starting from that idea of success that is part of your life as an entrepreneur or business owner.</p><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-91268635936554583412021-11-06T06:58:00.009-07:002022-05-23T16:18:39.023-07:00How deep is the political divide in the American people right now?<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YwJXz7id5Hk/YYaJn3B0ieI/AAAAAAAALfk/hdddT_Pd9Zkyln5ITOZQftxyHNIDV4OmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/washington%2B1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="extremist groups protesting in front of capital hill in washington" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YwJXz7id5Hk/YYaJn3B0ieI/AAAAAAAALfk/hdddT_Pd9Zkyln5ITOZQftxyHNIDV4OmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/washington%2B1.png" title="extremist groups protesting in front of capital hill in washington" /></a></div><br /><p>If you listen to the headlines of the newspapers, the big national news networks as in the case of NBC, CBSN, CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, and all the traditional media, you have the impression, that The United States is on the brink of a civil war. It's all the product of the Tabloid headlines coming out of the mainstream media. as a way to attract the attention of listeners and viewers and also promote a narrative that meets the expectations of the owners, and advertisers of these media.</p><p>Is this division real, or does it emerge as a fiction created by the editors of the national press? Here we talk about what is real, and we will reject irrelevant news that does not contribute anything to the search for solutions, for the great challenges facing the American people at this time.</p><p>Many political analysts think that the future of the nation is at stake right now, as a result of this political crisis that is destroying the fabric of the democratic system. What some fail to say, that this political division has always existed since the founding of the American nation. The democratic system, when the opposing factions are divided, is when they produce better results for the people, because they have to learn to compromise.</p><p>From my point of view, about the seriousness of this division, is that at this moment, there are many media that amplify these political divisions, and let's not talk about the role that social media have in their ability to distort the severity of this division, contrary to in the past, in the form, limitations, and scope that the media had, when people received the news through newspapers, television and radio stations.</p><p>Throughout history there has always been division in the United States. There has always been a political division over the future of the American nation, between liberals and conservatives. Also between the different social groups; between the rich and the poor, between the blacks and the whites, between the power of the states and the federal power.</p><p>There has also been a division between the people of the rural area and the urban area. Between educated workers and not educated, between the workers with white collars and those with blue collars. Right now what we are witnessing is a division over the future of the American nation.</p><p>We must also talk about the division between pro-immigrant groups and anti-immigrant groups. And let's not talk about the division between pro-life groups and pro-abortion groups. No one doubts that in the face of a health crisis or an economic crisis, the division in terms of strategies to be used between political and economic groups becomes the center of attention. It is what we are observing at the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you observe the lack of support ,from Republican leaders in Congress, for economic relief to combat the coronavirus crisis, It could be a sign of a division that is deepening to the detriment of the American people, and more so when Republicans are not in control of the lower house, much less the senate, both of which are controlled by Democrats in both houses of Congress in Washington DC.</p><p>Many political analysts say, that the arrival of Joe Biden to power, and the departure of Donald has exacerbated these political crises between political parties. Change of president which awakened the passion of groups extremists who hate the term compromise, in the face of the profound challenges facing the nation right now. </p><p>Donald Trump has not accepted his electoral defeat against Joe Biden, which has further polarized this division between Republicans and Democrats. Joe Biden received a country in crisis, but also a more politically divided nation. </p><p>On the one hand, the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, pushes Joe Biden towards more progressive policies, and on the other hand, you have Republican in Congress and pro-Trump supporters pressuring minority leaders in the senate and lower houses to take more radical positions driven by far-right conservatives, who are against the presidency of Joe Biden.</p><p>No one doubts either, and even more so when one observes the lack of agreement in the congress dominated by a narrow margin by the Democrats, with the counterpart Republicans, who don't want to pass new legislation. That tells you that the ideological divide between conservative Republicans and progressive Democrats, makes the job much more difficult, when we talk about the presidential agenda of Joe Biden, who can only count on the support of the Democrats in Congress.</p><p>The stalemate in Congress is what dominates Washington at the moment, and more so when these political organizations are controlled, by the more extreme of both parties. This pessimistic view in Congress, gives the impression, that we are facing a nation deeply divided, at a time, when the nation is going through an economic crisis, but also the worst pandemic in the last hundred years.</p><p>Just look at, as an example, the division that exists at this time between the liberal side of the Democratic party, whose leader Senate Bernie Sanders and in the lower house Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who are behind passing a three trillion dollar legislation bill, to improve the infrastructure of the nation, which is in crisis of not being approved, due to the lack of support of the Conservative sector of the Democratic Party, even though Joe Biden favors this type of legislation.</p><p>Who benefits more from the Democrats plan, in the three trillion bill, to improve the infrastructure of the nation,? Families with children, social safety net for families through programs and services such as an expanded child tax credit, child care benefits for working parents, free pre-kindergarten. Under the American Family Plan, the federal government would invest $ 200 billion in universal preschool for all 3- and 4-year-olds through a national partnership with the states.</p><p>Also Investments in working families, the elderly and the environment, It would also Extend the tax credit for children, tax credit for earned income, child and dependent care tax credit, and paid family and medical leave. The resolution calls for the creation of a new federal healthcare program for Americans living in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.</p><p>The instruction also calls for lowering the price of prescription drugs, saying it will save hundreds of billions of dollars. The democrats have long lobbied to lower drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices, although some of their Peers in the party, as well as Republican lawmakers and the pharmaceutical industry, have opposed it.</p><p>Legislations which are being held in Congress by the intransigence of the most conservative Democratic senators; Joe Manchin from West Virginia and Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, because they are controlled by economic interests who invest money in their campaigns. Even though 85% of the American people; Democrats and Republicans agree to this legislation.</p><p>But, these senators are listening more to the group interests in Washington, the great donors of their political campaign and those economic sectors. who are against the progressive agenda Joe Biden is proposing. Creating the false feeling that Washington is divided, and that Congressmen, and Senators never agree to produce a bill that benefits the American people. The great divide right now is not between the American people, it is between the people who have and the people who have not.</p><p>Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who have Joe Biden's agenda stopped at this time, due to pressure from the interest groups and donors of these senators who They represent the most conservative section of the Democratic Party. Take the example of Senator Manchin who opposes a key part of the climate agenda of President Biden, which will affect coal production in Virginia in the future, or the case of an Arizona senator who does not agree, that the government discuss with the drug manufacturers to lower the cost of medicine.</p><p>I have always believed that one thing is the deep division of the national political leadership and another is the division of the American people. Often, the tabloid press doesn't make that difference. Politically the leaders in Washington are divided, but the vast majority of Americans, are united on the support what Joe Biden is trying to do to face the economic crisis, that the nation is going through right now.</p><p>Political leaders of both parties, who often don't act in the best interests of the American people, who are always at the service of economic interests, of the lobbying groups in Washington and power group that control the national political class both in the Democratic Party as in the Republican Party.</p><p>When the national press speaks many times of the division of the American people, it creates the impression that people are represented by political leaders in Washington DC. National press who really accept the stagnation they observe in Congress</p><p>as the norm which is perpetrated by politicians, but also by journalists and correspondents cover the news in Washington. History has shown that leaders in Congress don't care what the American people think or want, until such time com, when they need the votes of the electorate.</p><p>Based on the results of congressional and presidential elections, we all know that the American people hate the stalemate in Washington DC. One of the reasons for the lack of commitment in Congress to pass new legislation that benefits the American people is the ambition of the congressmen to stay in power and Groups of congressmen who represent economic groups ,who benefit from the lack of action in Washington.</p><p>Right now the Republican Congress is not looking for a solution to the problems of Covid-19 and the economic crisis, its eyes are on how to recover the majority in the midterm parliamentary elections.</p><p>No one doubts that, as a mechanism to regain control of Congress, opposing Joe Biden's political agenda is the practice he will use. the Republican leadership in the lower house not supporting the initiatives proposed by the Democrats, but also in the Senate and more when 60 votes are needed to pass major legislation.</p><p>Which stops all initiative in Capital Hill, and creates a feeling that Washington is divided and a product of this division, nothing happens in Washington, producing frustration against the establishment in Capital Hill.</p><p>Analyzing the Behavior obstructionist of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Create Impression that we are facing a divided nation, when what we are seeing is a policy of stagnation promoted by the opposition in Washington as mechanism to regain lost power. Right now, everything in Congress is about political impact on the votes they cast and the laws they make or approve.</p><p>One year away from the midterm elections, President Joe Biden's political options for his agenda are being finalized, which should be approved by the congress, in one where all the decisions that are made have a political meaning. We all know that during an election year, Congressmen spend more time doing politics than legislating for the American people.</p><p>The desire of the republicans, at this time, is to stop any attempt by Joe Biden to solve the great challenges of his presidency, because this would give the Democrats a bellwether argument for the congressional elections in the midterm elections, something that does not favor the aspirations of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCartiy from taking control of both houses in the midterm elections in 2022, maybe that's why everything is stuck in Washington right now ..</p><p>No one doubts that the division we see in Washington right now is the product of the greed for power of the Republicans party, imposed in part by the big lie of Donald Trump and the most conservative groups of the extreme right, not the American people. </p><p> The only problem is that the big national television news networks have always been playing at creating the narrative of a division that does not exist. And more when everyone knows that those who are really divided is the political leadership in Washington DC. who don't want to use the word compromise.</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-28651721722075823642021-11-06T06:30:00.014-07:002022-05-23T16:18:59.148-07:00Dilemmas of Christians in the US.

But also, we must speak of those religious leaders, who use religious faith to promote a political ideology that does not follow Christian teaching.</div><div><br /></div><div>When you analyze the unconditional support of Christian leaders in the United States, despite the fact that Donald Trump was morally an immoral man, one of the questions one asks is: What is happening to the nationalistic white Christians in the United States? Perhaps, many religious leaders in positions of leadership, closed their eyes and ears to support the anti-human policy of Donald Trump, for a political exchange.</div><div><br /></div><div>So great was the desire of Christian leaders to win the debate on abortion, as a way to legally destroy Roe v. Wade, in the supreme court, that these religious leaders made an agreement with Donald Trump: You appoint pro-life conservative judges in the high courts and we will forget all the immoralities of your presidency, which violated the most fundamental elements of human beings.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why are most of Donald Trump's supporters white Christians? It is possible that the reason, because many of them follow the conservative ideology of the party, when it comes to protecting unborn children.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This type of contradictory behavior of pro-Trumpism Christians is a social phenomenon whose results will impact the image of all Christian denominations when we talk about the United States. What is the priority of Christians? follow the teachings of the scriptures or follow a political ideology.</div><div><br /></div><div>White Christians who, as a result of racism, intra-migrant ideas, and the far-right conservative ideologies that they follow, have attitudes that can be considered as Christians driven by unhealthy nationalism because of their religious beliefs. Christians many of whom are part of the American white extreme right, a hate movement that is against all who are different from them.</div><div><br /></div><div>This failure to follow the teachings of the biblical and spiritual leader Jesus, is a sample of the contradictions of the Christians in the United States, many of whom are pro Trump, in the way they unconditionally supported one of the most lying and most deceitful leaders. inconceivable.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unconditional support of many Christians for former President Donald Trump, creates the idea that Christians in the United States are living in a dilemma because of the loss of religious values, especially when observing the behavior of many evangelical leaders who supported extreme policies. Right promoted by President Donald Trump that violated the human rights of many Americans, but also thousands of migrant children on the Mexican-American border.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyone who has read and understood the biblical message comes to the conclusion that anyone who supports a movement of hatred against others cannot be considered a Christian. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is where some "Christian nationalists" use the doctrines of Christianity to promote their anti-immigrant, anti-Jewish, antigovernmental sentiments and all for being part of extreme right-wing extremist groups that are only interested in staying in power since I mean, no it matters if they sell their souls to the devil to achieve their political goals.</div><div><br /></div><div>Many Christian fanatic followers of Donald Trump who claim to practice Christianity have not really understood the teaching of the life of Jesus, especially white Christians, especially Christian leaders who follow the words of that false messiah known as Donald Trump, although when everyone knows that he is a pathological liar, but also an anti-democratic character.</div><div><br /></div><div>For many Christians, what Donald Trump says outweighs God's word according to scripture. On that side, Donald Trump is the new messiah of Christians </div><div>in the United States.</div><div><br /></div><div>Many Christians who worship the personality of Donald Trump don't really know what it means to be a Christian. That is why many wonder what is happening to Christian believers in the United States who blindly follow the figure of Donald Trump, a Donald Trump, who is considered a pathological liar with </div><div>an autocratic mentality.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, many Christians look the other way at Donald Trump's immoral conduct as long as Donald Trump implements undemocratic measures that meet the expectations of some fundamentalist Christians who wish to limit the right to abortion as the center of their life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Right now, many Christians still support all the lies of Donald Trump, which tells you that Christians in the United States have abandoned their Christian faith to follow a conservative ideology that is against the teachings of Jesus. But the worst thing is that they follow a false prophet, a product of the cult of personality that surrounds the figure of Donald Trump.</div><div><br /></div><div> When talking about the history of Christian churches in the United States in the future, the presidency of Donald Trump will always be a black event that will be associated with many Christians, who forgot their Christian faith, but support one of the worst, corrupt, anti democratic, liars, without feeling, egocentric and more inhumane president of the United States until now.</div><div><br /></div><div>What is happening to Christians in America right now? What is happening to Christian leaders in times of political crisis? Why did many Christians abandon their Christian faith and support Donald Trump's anti-human policies? Some Christians sold their souls to the devil to win the favors of an earthly leader</div><div> like Donald Trump. An error that could damage the image of morality that Christians in America try to present.</div><div><br /></div><div>What are the problems that Christians will face in the future as a result of the political decisions made in the past during the administration of Donald Trump? Did Christians lose their morality when they unconditionally supported Donald Trump?

Rather, it was a crucial piece in the early stages of the formation of world capitalism and the beginning of accumulation in Britain.</p><p>Building a business enterprise from nature required a lot of labor. For much of the seventeenth century, the colonies Americans functioned as agricultural economies, driven in large part by indentured servitude. Most of the workers were poor and unemployed workers from Europe who, like others, had traveled to North America in search of a new life. In exchange for their work, they received food and shelter, a rudimentary education, and sometimes a trade.</p><p>In 1680, the British economy improved and more jobs were available in Britain. During this time, slavery had become a morally, legally, and socially acceptable institution in the colonies. As the number of European workers arriving in the colonies declined, enslaving Africans became a more acceptable and commercial necessity.</p><p>Between the mid-sixteenth century and the abolition in 1888 of trafficking in Brazil, and in 1865, the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/13th-amendment" rel="nofollow">Thirteenth Amendment to the United States </a>Constitution was approved, officially abolishing slavery.</p><p>Thus, on January 1, 1863, the Slave Emancipation Proclamation came into force, affecting only the Confederate states that had announced their separation from the United States (other slave states had declared loyalty to the Union). With this measure, Lincoln weakened the workforce and the economic and political strength of the rogue states.</p><p>More than 14 million people, mainly from West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea, were uprooted from their communities of origin to be deported to the European colonies of America. The "black cattle" allowed to promote what we could call the first export agriculture: the plantation economy.</p><p>Without a doubt, without the riches of America and without African slaves and without trade, the economic, political and military take-off of the states Europeans, and especially Great Britain, would have been limited to a smaller scale; maybe definitely minor.</p><p>Something that we must understand when analyzing slavery in all the colonies of the American continent, whether they are Spanish, Portuguese, French or British. In slavery, the black slave was seen as a commodity mainly when we talked about the British colonies and what we all know today as the United States.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vDtsS_PchSs/YTP6tw2-aCI/AAAAAAAALd0/2aIVvK-yQnk1KuVNtQ0uVibAVEtAYTcZgCLcBGAsYHQ/s449/5fa91af44eb29.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="220" data-original-width="449" height="314" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vDtsS_PchSs/YTP6tw2-aCI/AAAAAAAALd0/2aIVvK-yQnk1KuVNtQ0uVibAVEtAYTcZgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h314/5fa91af44eb29.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h1><h2>The Origin of Black Slavery by Eric Williams</h2><p><a href="https://uncpress.org/book/9780807844885/capitalism-and-slavery/" rel="nofollow">Eric Williams</a> (1911-1981) in the first chapter of his book Slavery and<a href="https://www.kribie.com/2018/05/capitalism-and-illusion-of-freedom-in.html" rel="nofollow"> Capitalism</a> (2011) and entitled The Origin of Black Slavery. Williams' approach is that black slavery has its origin on the basis of white servitude and that the former was generated by a purely economic and non-racial motivation. In other words, black slavery was the mechanism that a plantation system found to save costs and maximize its benefits; In this regard, the historian tells us:</p><p>“Here, then, is the origin of black slavery. The reason was economic, not racial; It had nothing to do with the color of the worker, but with the low cost of his labor. Compared to the work of the Indians and whites, that of the black slave was eminently superior ”(p. 49).</p><p>Along the same lines, Williams states the following: “Black slavery, then, had nothing to do with the weather. Its origin can be expressed in three words: in the Caribbean, sugar; on the mainland, tobacco and cotton. A change in the economic structure produced a change in the supply of labor.</p><p>The fundamental fact was "the creation of an inferior economic and social organization, of the exploited and exploiters." Sugar, tobacco, and cotton required large plantations and hordes of cheap laborers.</p><p>Thus, the former white hired servant's small farm had no chance of survival.

Only in this way would the plantation system bear the expected fruits and could sustain the colonial economic system, based on its beginnings in the Indian encomienda system and nucleated on the basis of the rendering of tributes to the Crown.</p><p>He also wrote that: This is how, from the slave plantation model, the accumulation of capital is gestated in the New Continent.</p><p>America was not only the territory for the exploitation of the natural wealth that it housed in its fertile soil, it was also the space where the accumulation of capital is carried out from the slave model since the exploitation of blacks will only be possible, through The Williams Trial, under the pre-existing slave model and not under the wage-earning model.</p><p>Although <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_slavery" rel="nofollow">white slavery</a> also occurred on plantations, it did not have the same economic effect because of the costs it represented for the Crown and because black labor "was cheaper and better" (p. 50).</p><p>I want to dig a little deeper. a commodity which means that products are produced on a large scale for sale and cheap labor is needed to produce these products, but in the case of slavery, labor was mostly free. as was the case with the millions of slaves brought to America between the 16th and 19th centuries.</p><p>Large-scale mass production occurs most of the time when there were conflicts, and the captive individual almost always ended up becoming a slave; This relates mainly to the rights and limited tribalism of the colonial era in Africa in which many of these black African prisoners from other tribes were sold as merchandise to slave traders and transported in slave ships to the lands of the new world. what is known as the American continent.</p><p>In the case of slavery in the United States, however, there was a great demand for cheap labor in the market and slavery is institutionalized mainly because of this. That is the only difference compared to other types of slavery, and that is why I have said before that there is a connection between capitalism and American slavery.</p><p>Analyzing past events is an important part of making positive changes for the future. If you believe that American slavery did not leave any legacy in the historical and unconscious memory of those who were involved and their descendants, you are in a kind of life in a fantasy world.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzHOB5WBdkY/YTP74eJHMdI/AAAAAAAALeI/GnICBVwjgwIlIYV49EidCiHYhkj2Yg9AQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Z2CPYL4HE5HCLONUQYRXAT6GFI.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pzHOB5WBdkY/YTP74eJHMdI/AAAAAAAALeI/GnICBVwjgwIlIYV49EidCiHYhkj2Yg9AQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/Z2CPYL4HE5HCLONUQYRXAT6GFI.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What is the difference between slavery in the USA and other nations in America?</h2><p>The only thing common to American slavery and other slavery is limited law. One of the main differences is the economic aspect of American slavery (which is strongly intertwined with the capital model). This can help to understand why blacks tend to be poorer than whites in a post-slavery society.</p><p>Why the<a href="https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/slavery" rel="nofollow"> slave system in America</a> is so different from other slavery. The main factor is that other types of slavery are not combined with capitalism, while American slavery was fueled by capitalist greed for profit, be it Spanish, Portuguese, or English.</p><p>Although slavery in the United States "" disappeared, the capital system and the psychological and social consequences of the slave system still exist in American society. I want to remind you that work in general is still treated today as a type of merchandise under the law of supply and demand.</p><p>Before the civil war in the southern United States of America, it is a legitimate argument that the human being was used as property, as a basic product, black men their value was that they were slaves because the owners took care of them. in the same way that they dealt with their tools, whereas in the industrialized northern part of the United States the capitalists only dealt with "renting" the tools and this created an incentive to squeeze both the "free" slave and the other. your descendants as possible.</p><p>In other words, the capitalist system kept renting cheap tools in third world countries and squeezing these "tools" as much as possible.</p><p>The Europeans came and exterminated most of the indigenous population (Native Americans). They did not have enough manpower to cultivate the land and therefore they often have to bring in other Europeans. Due to the harsh conditions, the top of the hierarchy has to pay the lowest of the hierarchy quite a bit to create incentives; And these new arriving Europeans can often go to the border to make their own land. As a result, American capitalists always had to face a shortage of workers.</p><p>European workers have a lot of bargaining power. However, slavery solved all of that. In other words, slavery was an important part of the American capitalist engine for good performance in America's earliest phase. Given the degree of influence that the culture of capital has in contemporary America.</p><p>The system is rigged against the poor, against blacks and minorities in general. We have seen this with bank lending practices where minorities pay higher rates or are less likely to be approved for loans. We see it with stop and search.</p><p>We see it every day in the United States, but the problem is that most of the people in the United States are not black and they (the white population) are not affected, it is not a priority, so it will never be addressed. at once. . in a significative way.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_eFcpNjFNQk/YTP7JXCMLaI/AAAAAAAALd8/vSOm3BjWbeotTLRMex0Ji4JdRu-9Z8VUQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/708131641_1920x1080.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_eFcpNjFNQk/YTP7JXCMLaI/AAAAAAAALd8/vSOm3BjWbeotTLRMex0Ji4JdRu-9Z8VUQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/708131641_1920x1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Origin of institutionalized racism in the United States</h2><p>I'm glad the issue of race is becoming more apparent, because race is still a problem for some people; racism against blacks, by whites and everyone else. And this issue of racism is derived to a great extent, in modern times, since the class difference is part of a hierarchical structure, race is almost always a real factor of hatred, but it is also an excuse to maintain status. quo by both factions. . But don't take my word for it, just look at the data and facts.</p><p>To get rid of racism and any type of discrimination, we have to end the absolute dominance of money and its influence in our governments, because until this happens, we cannot legislate for the good of all people. Racism and its consequences end when it no longer benefits those responsible financially, and at this time that is not the case.</p><p>When you look at the inequality of wealth, the difference in wages between blacks and whites Americans, but also those who occupy the highest executive positions, that tells you that American society is still run under a system based on race where the black descendants of the slaves occupy a low position, while the descendants of the white slave owners occupy a high position.</p><p>Many will say that slavery no longer exists in the United States that they are things of the past, but they fail to point out that the hierarchical system established during the slavery system still exists in the United States in practice and the mentality of many</p><p>Americans, which gives rise to that<a href="https://time.com/5851864/institutional-racism-america/" rel="nofollow"> institutional racism</a> that we all know. Society which is still managed under the same capitalist laws of supply and demand in which blacks were and are seen as merchandise, not as people who are part of American society.</p><p>Black slaves under a capitalist system supported by slavery did not have the opportunity to accumulate wealth. In a capitalist system controlled by white money, the possibilities of blacks to obtain wealth face the same challenges as their ancestors.</p><p>The slave system is still part of the collective mentality of white people, but also, unfortunately, of many black people and even more so when capital is controlled by whites.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-2032403598146477502021-08-14T07:27:00.001-07:002022-05-23T16:04:46.096-07:00How does the census data change the political reality of the white population in the United States?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdfe1nOEOdI/YRfPQjwajOI/AAAAAAAALc8/al5hy3UCVpgL2_ioc77R_fzzuhboA2_9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s840/CENSUS%2BUSA.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="United States Census data" border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="840" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdfe1nOEOdI/YRfPQjwajOI/AAAAAAAALc8/al5hy3UCVpgL2_ioc77R_fzzuhboA2_9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/CENSUS%2BUSA.jpg" /></a></div><br /> The white population in the United States declined for the first time in history in the last decade, with significant increases among people who identify as multiracial, Hispanic and Asian that drove much of the population growth between 2010 and 2020, according to data from the census released Thursday.<p></p><p>New census data released Thursday takes a look at unprecedented multiracial population growth, as well as a decline in the white population, something that is coming for the first time in the nation's history.</p><p>According to US Census officials, racial and ethnic makeup has become more diverse and urban over the past decade with large increases in populations of people who identify as Hispanic, Asian, and more than one race.</p><p>In fact, the increase in the number of people identifying as white plus another race increased by roughly 300 percent. Meanwhile, the white population fell from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020, the lowest on record, although whites remain the most prevalent racial or ethnic group.</p><p>People who identify as multiracial increased by 276%, from 9 million in 2010 to 33.8 million in 2020.</p><p>People who identify as African-American, Latino, Asian, or Mixed race have risen in the country with the most diverse demographics in its history, especially reflected among those under 18 years of age.</p><p>The figures also reveal the strength of large cities and the flight of inhabitants from rural areas: more than half of the counties have reduced their population compared to 2010.</p><p>The five largest cities in the country are now New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix. Philadelphia is now the sixth-largest city, overtaken by Phoenix, which was the fastest-growing of the 20 largest cities. Its population increased by 9.4 percent.</p><p>More than half of all counties in the United States lost population between 2010 and 2020, census officials said, and almost all of the growth occurred in metropolitan areas.</p><p>For the first time as a US state, California's largest ethnic group is Hispanic, with 39.4% of the population, according to the data. In Texas, another large state, the non-Hispanic white population stood at 39.7%, just slightly larger than the Hispanic population, which stood at 39.3%.</p><p>The population of the United States has grown by 7.4% since 2010 (year of the last census), standing at 331,449,281, according to the first data advanced as early as April. It is the lowest population growth since the Great Depression in 1930 and the second lowest in US history.</p><p>Figures from the new census released will be used by state legislatures or independent panels to redraw electoral maps. The official goal is to ensure that each district has roughly the same number of population and to ensure the representativeness of what has hitherto been understood as racial minorities.</p><p>Currently, the House of Representatives is controlled by the Democrats by a narrow margin: 220 seats to 212 Republicans. Mid-term legislative elections will be held in November next year, where control of Congress could be decided on the new map emerged from the census. With the figures released this Thursday, a tough battle to redraw the constituencies is expected to begin.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-11704082300848455442021-02-09T11:47:00.006-08:002022-05-23T16:05:04.031-07:00Trump impeachment trial: How powerful is Donald Trump in the Republican Party?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DzZGn8iyzmY/YCLmpgn_XTI/AAAAAAAALT8/BlOcdmLptCYwdLn6CBHr7vF501WkmP7tQCLcBGAsYHQ/s620/donald%2BTrump%2Bmaga.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Donald Trump supporters at a rally to stop election theft" border="0" data-original-height="464" data-original-width="620" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DzZGn8iyzmY/YCLmpgn_XTI/AAAAAAAALT8/BlOcdmLptCYwdLn6CBHr7vF501WkmP7tQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/donald%2BTrump%2Bmaga.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Traditionally, when a president is defeated in elections, the exit from power and the voluntary dismissal is the political response that everyone expects from this former president, someone who never respects the norm but in the case of Donald Trump that is something that you should not expect from a person with autocratic ideas.</p><p>Although Donald Trump is accused of inciting an insurrection in Congress by the most conservative wing of the extreme right of the Republican party, reasons for which he is being subjected to a second impeachment trial, this former president has under his total control the leaders of the Republican Party.</p><p><b>Is Donald Trump responsible for the insurrection on Capitol Hill by a radicalized mob of the more conservative extreme right?</b></p><p>We all witnessed through the image in all the main national news channels the events that occurred hours before the attack on <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/06/how-capitol-hill-riots-started-455654" rel="nofollow">Capitol Hill </a>in which Donald Trump in a march of pro-Trump supporters who claimed for the alleged steal of the elections product of Irregularities in the process prompted his followers to march towards the congress building, which ended in a violent attack against the democratic system in the United States, a historic event that no one will forget.</p><p>When Donald Trump, despite his electoral defeat by<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/president-biden/" rel="nofollow"> Joe Biden</a>, a product of authoritarian attitudes, a pathological liar and a psychotic mentality, created the idea in his mind and his followers that the Democratic Party stole his presidential elections, reasons why he never has acknowledged defeat.

White radicalized groups led by a mentally unstable president like Donald Trump who participated in this apt anti-democratic with the complacency of police authorities in Washington DC who failed to defend the institutions of the state.</div><div><br /></div><div>But what if this insurrection against the democratic system had been planned by a politically intelligent leader than Donald Trump with a real ambition to establish an autocratic dictatorial government? This is where all political analysts, democratic institutions, a student of political science, the liberal or conservative national press, all pro-democratic groups and historian of the different dictatorial governments, have to see this event promoted by anti-democratic by<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/slideshow/trump-supporters-converge-d-c-protest-election-n1253018" rel="nofollow"> pro-Trump supporters </a>of the radical right with great concern. You want to accept it or not, but democracy as we know it in the United States is in danger right now.</div><div><br /></div><div>To understand the reasons behind the insurgency against the democratic system by supporters of Donald Trump, but also the desire to discredit the electoral victory of Joe Biden by Republican leaders in Congress such as Texas <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/01/10/955384336/senator-ted-cruz-faces-backlash-for-his-role-in-the-capitol-violence" rel="nofollow">Senate Ted Cruz</a>, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-josh-hawley-becomes-public-enemy-no-1-capitol-hill-n1253470" rel="nofollow">Senator Hawley </a>of Missouri and hundreds of disputed Republicans, we must recognize the levels of political manipulation, lies of the conservative right on social media, control of information by pro-Trump national networks such as Fox News, who feed these differences and are responsible for the deep division that exists in the nation right now, which may be the origin of the insurrection on Capital Hill by pro-Trump groups.</div><div><br /></div><div>Something that all American people must understand, whether liberal or conservative, moderate or independent, the attack on the capitol by radicalized extreme right groups, threatening the stability of the democratic system, but also against the economic system is an embarrassing act that affects to all. Apart from the loss of freedom that everyone enjoys right now, and also will lose the right to choose or be elected, therefore, no matter your political party, it is an anti-democratic act that you must repudiate as a message to these groups of extreme right who are attacking the American democratic system.</div><div><br /></div><div>Groups of radicalized far-right rioters that with their vandalism actions desecrated the institutions of American democracy without any type of resistance by the authorities whose job was to protect the institutions of Congress, creating an impression of complicity with these anarchist groups. Perhaps next time democracy will not be so lucky and we will find ourselves ruled by an autocratic far-right leader who will suppress all the freedoms we enjoy right now.</div><div><br /></div><div> "Nobody knows what they have until they lose", is a popular expression that all those who promote extreme ideas should understand right now and even more when we talk about the American people who do not really know what it is to be living under an autocratic government of the extreme right or extreme left.</div><div><br /></div><div>Will pro-Trump groups continue to protest and create instability in the future against the democratic system? You can be sure of that, because <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2021/01/is-donald-trump-solely-responsible-for.html" rel="nofollow">Donald Trump </a>simply exposed to the American people a problem of political, cultural, racial division ignored by the political class. Lack of seeking a solution to these fundamental problems that will always threaten the stability of the democratic system, and the inequality of the economic system must be the center of attention. Problems of economic and social inequality that politicians do not have the courage to face, creating the conditions that led to the insurrection in Capital Hill by far-right groups that feel they are left behind.</div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-73935523688151380402021-01-09T08:14:00.029-08:002021-01-19T19:02:44.172-08:00Is Donald Trump solely responsible for the insurrection against a democratically elected government?<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fVDty2AsUms/X_m4wkNXwpI/AAAAAAAALOs/q2qx8bNzGN4z09QApJIOmZG_eUXyq0bKQCLcBGAsYHQ/s420/A%2B-%2BAMERICA.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="maga trump follower" border="0" data-original-height="279" data-original-width="420" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fVDty2AsUms/X_m4wkNXwpI/AAAAAAAALOs/q2qx8bNzGN4z09QApJIOmZG_eUXyq0bKQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/A%2B-%2BAMERICA.jpg" title="Maga trump follower" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The failed coup attempt against a democratically elected government by supporters of Donald Trump, who through an act considered a violent insurrection tried to prevent the confirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the electoral college in the congress building on<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/us-capitol-hill-siege-explained-7136632/" rel="nofollow"> Capitol Hill</a>. Politically motivated protests in which the death of several people, including a member of the police, will change the way Americans will see the institution of democracy, but also the image of all the radicalized anarchist groups that participated in this anti-democratic atrocity against the democratic system .</div><div><br /></div><div>We have to be responsible as an American citizen and accept that not only Donald Trump is responsible for the insurrection in Congress by radicalized white groups, we must also blame the leaders of the republican party who unconditionally supported the breaking of presidential norms, racist attitudes, the anti-immigrant rhetoric, the support for the lies of President Donald Trump, but above all the propaganda and misinformation of the extreme rights media that fed this anti-democratic sentiment in a part of the population that follows these media and are pro-Maga Trump.</div><div><br /></div><div>This act of insurrection by radicalized groups considered terrorists against the democratic system whose vandalism interrupted, endangered the lives of the congressmen, but also destroyed a symbol of American democracy by these racist, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant and anti-democratic groups, is a type of anarchic anti-democratic movement, to find the solution we must analyze the causes of the growth of these radicalized groups in American society. Radicalized groups who were incited and motivated by Donald Trump when he asked them to march towards the congress building.</div><div><br /></div><div>No one can doubt after observing with amazement, shame and fear the images in all the national news networks and international press about the insurrection by pro <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/01/06/dc-protests-trump-rally-live-updates/" rel="nofollow">Trump supporters</a>, it is a historic event that will forever be in the collective consciousness of the American people, especially American whites who never believed that white anarchist groups were capable of destroying or attacking the nation's democratic institutions for two centuries were respected. Maga Trump supporters who just want to hear any lie that justifies what they think. You have to understand that republican leaders who do not have the courage to tell you the truth about Donald Trump's electoral defeat are also responsible for the insurrection on capital hill.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pro-Trump anarchist groups who accept as truth the lies, compiratory theories and propaganda repeated over and over again by <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/people/donald-j-trump/" rel="nofollow">Donald Trump</a> that there was electoral fraud against him, members of these radicalized groups more than victims of demagoguery and lies are also responsible of the atrocities and attacks that happened against a symbol of American democracy. How did these anarchist groups break through Capitol Hill security, turning it into an anarchy zone? It is a type of investigation that all Americans should demand right now. We must also consider that those responsible and everyone who participated in this type of anti-democratic action in Capital Hill should be brought to justice as an example of preventing this type of vandalized act from being repeated in the future by extremist groups.</div><div><br /></div><div>As observers of the events to which we have all witnessed with horror and some uncertainty about the future of American society, no one can doubt that the future of the American nation is entering an unpredictable terrain in which democratic institutions will always be in danger. Something that we must understand that while these radicalized far-right nationalist extremist groups feel supported by conservative pro-Trump Republican leaders they will always feel that they can do whatever they want because they have the support of the state and will never accept an electoral defeat in the future, claiming that there was fraud when the results are not in your favor.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another element to consider is the enormous influence that the ideology of Trumpism has on the fanatical minds and behavior of the members of these radicalized groups who accept the lies of Donald Trump as truth. We must also talk of a conservative Pro Trump press which supports with disinformation, lies, manipulation of the facts and the disinformation associated with news associated with the anti-democratic activities of these extreme right-wing groups.</div><div><br /></div><div>Something that Americans should be clear about, regardless of whether you are Democratic, Republican, Independent, Liberal, or Conservative, the anti-democratic behavior of these radicalized White Pro Trump groups who are alleged to fear multiracial demographic change in the American society, the economic insecurity of the changes, the loss of the racial hegemony of the whites and the <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2020/12/dear-white-people-as-black-i-understand.html" rel="nofollow">fears of cultural changes </a>. The members of these radicalized groups must understand that these are changes that no one can stop, but neither can they use anarchy and insurrection to stop these changes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe you as an American citizen want to accept it or not, the anti-democratic activities of these nationalist, racist, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant and anti-democratic groups will endanger the stability of the democratic system in the future. That is the reason why the federal state security agency such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and state agencies take the necessary steps to bring to justice those responsible for this act of insurrection against the democratic system in the United States and treat it as a group of terrorists who are attacking national security.</div><div><br /></div><div>From my point of view, creating a mechanism to calm or appease the concerns of the voters of Donald Trump trying to hide the reality about the existence and anti-democratic activities of these groups, perhaps is the reason behind the insurrection that we all witnessed in which an attempt was made to stop the democratic process by these radicalized groups or <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/election-us-2020-54922927" rel="nofollow">Trump Maga supporter</a> simply because they are white, people who fear the arrival of change that is irreversible.

Perhaps that is why, when we speak of the<a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/slavery-or-slave-owners/" rel="nofollow"> slave owners</a> we must speak of the enslaved, when we speak colonizers we must speak of the colonized, if we speak of the rich we must speak of the poor, when we speak of white people we must speak of black people, when we speak of the oppressors we must speak of the oppressed, when we speak of the one who has we must speak of the one who does not have.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, right now, we must unintentionally speak of a new term that produces fear in the hearts of people in a white America which was erased from American history, popularly known as multiracial identity, which breaks with that binary mentality that for centuries has been part of American history in which you are either black or white, ignoring the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/racial-discrimination-and-miscegenation-experience-brazil" rel="nofollow">racial miscegenation</a> between both groups. An American story where the fear of change in white people is something I understand as a black person in an America that is turning increasingly brown, challenging that idea of an America that only exists in the mind of white Americans.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dear white people, I am going to explain some reasons why you should not be afraid of the change that living in a brown America means. Different from you as black people, black or brown Latino, mestizo, biracial and American Indian, the superiority of the brown, black or <a href="https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2015/06/11/multiracial-in-america/" rel="nofollow">multiracial race</a> is not part of our mentality different from how you think. As part of the multiracial or colored community in America we only seek racial equality, economic equality, social equality, political equality and equality in opportunity to achieve the American dream in an equal way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear white people, as black and brown american, I understand your fear of a multiracial nation. As white people in America, another things that you should understand as a white person in a brown America, it does not mean that you should be afraid of dying at the hands of the police because you are white, much to be discriminated against because of your white skin color, because of your social position, much less because you can be considered as<a href="https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/immigrants-in-the-united-states" rel="nofollow"> immigrants</a> in your own land. Finally, being arrested by the police for walking in a neighborhood of people of color or multiracial it will never be your concern. Being part of a multiracial nation as a white person will guarantee the same rights as a person of color.</p><p><br /></p>
<p>My dear white people let me tell you what your future could be in a multiracial and multicultural nation where all all people will be equal in the eyes of God, and the laws. In a brown nation, as a white person you will never suffer from racism or racial exclusion, and you will have an equal chance of achieving the American dream. In short, in a brown nation, you will not have to fight for civil rights, least of all in an affirmative action plan that benefits whites people, because like everyone else you will have the right to a college education..</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear white people, as black people I understand your fear in a new America in which a racial group will not receive privileges for their skin color. In a brown multiracial nation you will not be afraid because you are part of the minority, you will not have to feel inferior because the superiority of one race over another will cease to exist, and you will not be afraid of suffering discrimination because you are white. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing to consider, people with brown skin will never see you less because you are white, and above all they will never feel the negative effects of racial segregation in public schools, public places, public transport, the segregation of bathrooms and restaurants. Believe me when I tell you, you will not live under Jim Crow laws, and you can be assured that you will never be lynched for being white, much less you will have to fear the hatred of any racist group dressed in white in the dark of night like the one represented by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan" rel="nofollow">Ku Klux Klan</a>, because as part of a multiracial nation one racial group is not superior to another.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear white people, as people of color I understand your fear in a brown America. In a multiracial nation as a white person, people of color will never feel fear when you approach it, nor will they feel the fear of being robbed because you are a white person, in many public places no one will deny you entry or look at you suspiciously because you are white. In a nation where whites are considered a minority, you will have the opportunity to run for any elective office without the interference of people with brown skin, much less people of color will create obstacles for you to vote without restrictions for the candidate that you like the most, independently whether it is white, black or colored.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dear white people, let me tell you why you should not be afraid of living in a multiracial and multicultural brown nation. In a multiracial nation you will not be discriminated against for being poor, homeless, uneducated, nor will you have to live in neighborhoods full of drugs, prostitution and where crime prevents you from living a quiet life. Nor will you be afraid for you or your children when they walk through the unsafe streets as a result of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gangs_in_the_United_States" rel="nofollow">street gangs.</a> But above all you will not be afraid of being killed by a brown policeman because you are white.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dear white people, I will try to explain a different way of seeing an American nation where multiracial relationships, whether you want to accept it or not, is changing how Americans will look at the future of an American nation where brown skin color will not be a novelty or something that should embarrass people. A society where black and brown people will not have to deny their skin color, much less bleach their skin to be accepted by a white minority.</p><p><br /></p><p>A multiracial society where in the same way that you feel pride in being white, those who identify as multiracial, black, or brown feel pride in who they are as a person. A multiracial society where the phrase "equal but separate" is a thing of the past. A society where a black, white or brown child can play without looking at their skin color and accept themselves as equals. An American society where we can all aspire to be part of the <a href="https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-the-american-dream-quotes-and-history-3306009" rel="nofollow">American dream</a> without looking at skin color, because in a multiracial society skin color is the least important when it comes to being American.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dear white people, I know that you fear demographic change, cultural change, new way of doing things, customs that seem foreign, a language that you do not understand, a global integration that you do not control and above all realize that you live in a more competitive and demanding world where your skin color is not a guarantee of anything, reasons why you cling to the old way and avoid the new for not understanding that America is changing and there is nothing you can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dear white people it is time to let go of the hatred of the past and look to the future. It is time to throw the fear of change aside and look at the future of America with optimism, because our strength is in the differences that we have. My dear white people, it is time to look at the things that unite us, not the things that make us different, distrustful of each other, but above all to understand that it does not matter your skin color, <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2018/03/the-tribal-behavior-of-voters-and-loss.html" rel="nofollow">political ideology</a>, possession of wealth, religious belief, preference. sexual, in the end each one of us ending up being an American in the eyes of God.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-87025066053282792752020-12-30T08:53:00.021-08:002021-01-12T17:29:07.080-08:00President Joe Biden's delusion: solving today's problems using old ideas<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8QS8lfaID9U/X-yRrR9u9OI/AAAAAAAALN8/UcUh1eqMEO4ejF98si7aKF_pD1Ad2z4RQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/joe%2Bbiden.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="President Joe Biden" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8QS8lfaID9U/X-yRrR9u9OI/AAAAAAAALN8/UcUh1eqMEO4ejF98si7aKF_pD1Ad2z4RQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/joe%2Bbiden.jpg" title="President Joe Biden" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Several weeks before the inauguration of Joe Biden's administration as the 46th president of the United States, many Americans await with enthusiasm, impatience, relief, a certain skepticism of change, and more when you speak of what the presidency of Joe Biden compared to what has been the presidency of Donald Trump until now. What will be the difference between the delusion of Joe Biden talking about unity and the madness of the four years of <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2018/12/is-president-donald-trump-pathological.html" rel="nofollow">Donald Trump</a>? Nobody knows that yet.</p><p>No one doubts that in terms of how to manage the federal government, the search for solutions to the great problems of the nation, the return to normality in the institutions of the federal government, and also a change in the behavior of the US president compared to the unpredictable outgoing President Donald Trump is something that many Americans will celebrate after January 20. No one doubts that the American people will be calmer, less anxious and happy with the return of normality.</p><p>When it comes to what would be the difference between the presidency of Joe Biden and Donald Trump some of them could be: implement a new style of government, recover the credibility of the presidency, appointment of new ministers with governmental experience, the correct management of the federal government, promote policies based on the reality of the nation associated with the economic, political, racial, and social.</p><p>Other aspects to consider as well: better management of information from a credible voice, a coherent policy at the federal level to overcome the negative effects of <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html" rel="nofollow">Covid-19</a>, depoliticization of national problems, recovery of confidence in the economy, and urgent delivery of aid to those Americans in dire economic need, homelessness, food insecurity, and low availability of jobs as a result of the pandemic.</p><p>Finally, the search for a national unity which must move from the political rhetoric of the moment in the search for solutions that meet the needs and expectations of all the American people, regardless of whether they are conservative, progressive or moderate. Need for national unity which should not only exist as a feeling of hope in Joe Biden's mind in times of crisis. Something that you have to recognize with the disaster of the presidency of Donald Trump, any government of Joe Biden will see the American people as an improvement.</p><p>The need to search for national unity which can be seen as a politically generated rhetoric by a state of delusion by Joe Biden with old ideas, inadequate strategies at this time and the experience of a past that does not exist trying to find solutions to problems new with ideas that have never worked. Political vision which does not adapt to the crisis situation that the American nation is going through right now, It is a vision that I do not share with the next President of the United States Joe Biden..</p><p>This is where <a href="https://joebiden.com/presidency-for-all-americans/" rel="nofollow">President Joe Biden</a>'s delusion trying to solve today's problems using old ideas is something that will limit the success of his presidency and can guarantee the return of Republicans to power in the next midterm elections taking control of Congress and then retaking the presidency. Joe Biden must learn from the mistakes of the Obama administration if they do not want the return of another Donald Trump or end up with the same fate as Jimmy Carter who was president by one term.</p><p>Rhetoric of national unity and make compromise at all costs, which creates false hope in the search for solutions to problems in a moment of national crisis when it is not accompanied by the genuine interest of the political class in solving these problems and more so when we speak of a political class which It is not in the interest of unity, much less making a commitment to reach an agreement that benefits the American people.. </p><p>Political opponents or conservative opposition group who support the more radical side of the Republican party who still do not accept the victory of Joe Biden. Adding to that also that inside and outside their <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2018/11/the-democrats-won-midterm-elections.html" rel="nofollow">Democratic Party</a> many liberals recognize that the implementation of "moderate" or conservative policies of the past will not solve the crisis, on the contrary they will only aggravate the long-term problems facing the nation when we talk about economic and racial inequality, but above all the environmental problem that affects the future.</p><p>Every political analyst recognizes that for Joe Biden to achieve national unity he must first seek unity within his own party. He must create the bases to reconcile the difference between the moderate, conservative, and progressive sectors within the Democratic party and not sacrifice the liberal wing of the party to meet the needs of the moderates as a mechanism to produce a presidency towards the center. IF Joe Biden cannot achieve unity within the Democratic Party, what makes him think that he can achieve the unity and support of those who voted against him? It is something that does not fit in my mind.</p><p>This is where the political rhetoric of seeking unity in the nation and to compromise at all costs which from my point of view is the product of ideas from the past in Joe Biden's mind which creates the idea to reach an agreement starting from a position of weakness. Seeking unity as a mechanism to create a difference between the presidency of Donald Trump and Joe Biden has its great challenge, but also a political cost at a time when the people distrust the traditional political class. </p><p>But also, when a part of the population looks at Joe Biden as an illegitimate president. A moderate policy of national conciliation directed toward the center which will bring about the failure of Joe Biden's presidency if he uses ideas from the past to stir up problems of the present.</p><p>Right now Joe Biden must recognize that having precarious control of the House of Representatives limits his political ambitions for his presidency due to the limitations of what he can do as president in his ability to create any type of legislation in Congress. There is always the resource of the so hated of using executive orders to establish any type of public policy in the federal government and more when you have Mitch McConnell as the leader of the Senate Republicans who will seek all the excuses to stop the agenda from President Joe Biden.</p><p>This is where the word <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion" rel="nofollow">delusion</a> is associated with the aspirations of Joe Biden as president to face the great challenges in which the crisis of the pandemic produced by Covid-19 is the focus of attention right now due to the magnitude of the national tragedy that It represents, we must talk about the racial problems associated with <a href="https://www.hrw.org/report/2020/09/30/kettling-protesters-bronx/systemic-police-brutality-and-its-costs-united-states" rel="nofollow">police brutality</a>, but also the state of the economy which is showing low growth and high unemployment. From my point of view, trying to solve the problems of the present using ideas from the past is a recipe for failure in such an ideologically divided nation.</p><p>Illusory aspirations or delusion status of Joe Biden which begins with the search for unity within the Democratic party, unity in a politically divided nation, believing that he can reach an agreement in Congress by betting on past relationships with other senators, not recognizing the deep division in the Republican Party between those who support Donald Trump or <a href="https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/" rel="nofollow">Mitch McConnell</a> for the power or soul of the Republican Party, but also minimizing or not acknowledging the discontent that exists among progressive congressmen who will oppose the conservative administration of Joe Biden .</p><p>"Something that Joe Biden must understand, the failure of his presidency means the return of Donald Trump or a similar figure who will captivate the support of the most conservative elements of the nationalist, protectionist and anti-immigrant groups who are not benefiting from the American dream. . A part of the American population who at this moment feel forgotten by the traditional political class that only responds to the interests of economic groups. "</p><p>Joe Biden must also understand that this romantic image of a united America only exists in his mind right now. Reasons why the idea of betting on a hope in the unity of the American people is a thought that will limit the possibilities of good government if he believes that he can reach some compromise with those groups that hate everything that Biden represents. This is where that delusional state of mind should not be part of Joe Biden's mindset if he really wants to help the American people out of the crisis they are going through right now.</p><p> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-19909506871670015352020-12-21T16:45:00.043-08:002024-02-07T14:46:28.909-08:00How did Donald Trump's racism expose and exploit the deep fear in the mindset of white people?<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LtTJFfMu5J8/X-El82ZhXXI/AAAAAAAALNc/N64EUG1i1JYg3DFieHs88SWgLgrovS18wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/donal%2Btrump.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LtTJFfMu5J8/X-El82ZhXXI/AAAAAAAALNc/N64EUG1i1JYg3DFieHs88SWgLgrovS18wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/donal%2Btrump.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>For a long time we all grew up with the idea that a nation which can be considered as an example of democracy could choose an individual demagogue, <a href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/pathological-liars" rel="nofollow">pathological liar</a>, insensitive, immoral, anti woman, racist, authoritarian, anti immigrant and who only thinks of himself as Donald Trump. With the arrival of Donald Trump to power, all the norms and rules were broken when we talked about the behavior of a president of the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any individual with a basic knowledge of people's political behavior, when you observe the level of fanaticism of the supporters of Donald Trump, their refusal to accept reality, the cult of personality, their unconditional support for Donald Trump. But above all the levels of delusion and the support of the dictatorial behaviors of Donald Trump to change the results of the election claiming that the Democrats stole the elections, we are amazed at the power that the president has over these people.</p><p><br /></p><p> One reaches the conclusion that many Americans have the same mentality, political ignorance and political backwardness of the voters in many third world nations, who allow themselves to be deceived by a demagogue leader with an autocratic tendency who tells you what you want to hear and does not feel ashamed to lie to his followers at all times, because many of them blindly follow everything that the leader says.</p><p><br /></p><p>How does a populist leader like Donald Trump have political control of millions of voters and and has total control of the republican party? This is where we must analyze this social phenomenon to understand the mentality of many Americans, especially in rural areas who have the belief that they have left it behind for the American dream.</p><p><br /></p><p>The American nation is a divided nation right now, it is a reality that no one can hide. But what is the origin of this deep division? In this type of work we will try to find the genesis of this problem. I believe that blaming<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/people/donald-j-trump/" rel="nofollow"> Donald Trump</a> for this division is a simplistic way of analyzing a problem that has been part of American history since its founding.</p><p><br /></p><p>To understand the power of Donald Trump with an autocratic mentality over his followers, but also over the Republican leadership, who are afraid of his Twitter, is to understand the origin of the deep fear of change that white Americans have. Deep fear and distrust which is felt by the white population right now, when you know the effort and control of power of their ancestors in the construction of the American nation compared to what is happening at this moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is where born Donald Trump's campaign slogan "make America great again." It is popular with the white population who do not consider themselves part of the American dream, but they do not want to accept that changes are inevitable, but also necessary and more so in a society where racial, cultural, political, ideas and social diversity is part is part of the fiber of the American nation throughout history..</p><p><br /></p><p>On that side, all of us who analyze American politics must accept that many political analysts, historians, and social scholars did not understand the depth of the political problems, the nationalist sentiments in the most conservative sectors of the American nation, the structural racism against blacks. and Hispanics, the fear of whites to lose power, but above all the fear of the change in which it means to be really an American.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these ideas associated with American history and the false conclusion of the new social reality, are the ones that are undermining the spirit of millions of white Americans who look to Donald Trump as their savior.</p><p><br /></p><p>Deep fears that Donald Trump exposed and exploited politically in the four years of his presidency. Enormous popularity which is based on deep fear in the most conservative and less educated sectors of North American society who see Donald Trump as one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another element to consider is the economic inequality between the rural population and the urban population, between professionals and non-professionals, between individuals who have it and those who have nothing, between conservatives and progressives, between common American individuals. and the political elites and the benefits associated with those with economic power to influence decisions made in<a href="https://washington.org/" rel="nofollow"> Washington</a> which are not narrowing the gap between rich and poor, or between millionaires and fixed-income workers..</p><p><br /></p><p>It should be said in one way or another, those of us who know the different political groups that operate in the American nation, greatly overestimate the American people in their ability to understand the advantages of living in a democratic system and they support without reserve the decisions of a populist demagogue like Donald Trump. Perhaps that is the reason why Republican leaders and supporters of Donald Trump do not protest against the anti-democratic decisions, typical of a dictator who is destroying or undermining trust in democratic institutions.</p><p><br /></p><p>A president of the United States like Donald Trump who uses the deepest fears of the white population in front of the population projections according to the figures of the sense in which the loss of political, economic, social and cultural supremacy of the whites over other groups minorities (African Americans, Latinos and other racial ethnic groups) is something that deeply affects many white Americans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Population change which, according to the projections of the population sense, the minority groups in the coming decades could become a majority in a society controlled by whites. Donald Trump exposed that fear of American whites of losing the power that the majority produces against the minority.</p><p><br /></p><p>Analyzing the behavior of Donald Trump, no one can doubt that racism against people of color, nationalism, conservative policies against immigrants, the suppression of the vote of African Americans, but above all the <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17894069/" rel="nofollow">sociopathic behavior</a> of Donald Trump who does not want to accept that lost the elections, makes Donald Trump and his followers a group of losers, when they do not accept that Joe Biden will be the next president.</p><p><br /></p><p>But Donald Trump's desire to remain in power is so great that he discredits all democratic institutions by talking about electoral fraud against him, even when they all conclude that Donald Trump was defeating by <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2020/05/can-joe-biden-defeat-donald-trump.html" rel="nofollow">Joe Biden</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>That illusory, fanciful and out-of-reality behavior of Donald Trump but also of the circle that surrounds him who are just a person who does not dare to disagree with the president and if you add to that the silence of the Republican leaders in the Congress, that tells you, <a href="https://www.kribie.com/2020/04/why-are-american-people-paying-with.html" rel="nofollow">Donald Trump</a> doesn't care about the future of the American people, only how to increase his personal wealth.</p><p><br /></p><p>A reality that many followers of Donald Trump do not want to accept right now, a product of the<a href="https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/modern-europe/russian-soviet-and-cis-history/cult-personality" rel="nofollow"> cult of personality</a>, but above all the fear of the change that whites have, but also because Donald Trump persists in a lie as a way of being in control of the Republican Party, feeding his egocentric personality, but at the same time asking for money from many followers who believe the lies of Donald Trump.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, right now Donald Trump is using the trust of his followers to win over the millions of voters who believe his words, simply to fulfill his personal ambitions. Donald Trump is deceiving all the followers of him, but they are so blind following this pathological liar that they want to accept that reality, although many know that it is all a lie.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-46881841037474183052020-09-27T15:29:00.098-07:002021-01-12T11:56:31.767-08:00What does being Black really mean to white people in the United States?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LEWwl5Hrd3M/X-EdV8xTzeI/AAAAAAAALNQ/VRP8cs6M5hYB6QH_XzbqItatIz4Vf36FQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/people-2589251_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1327" data-original-width="1920" height="442" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LEWwl5Hrd3M/X-EdV8xTzeI/AAAAAAAALNQ/VRP8cs6M5hYB6QH_XzbqItatIz4Vf36FQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h442/people-2589251_1920.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Many people look at the problems of racism through the eyes of the white slave-owning master; still 5 centuries later when the first slaves arrive on the American continent, at the time of the millennium, from the globalization of digital information, the emergence of new characters that are creating new forms of conversation, new symbols that reflect the mentality of modernism, for I believe that identifying new ways to describe old problems is necessary if you want to change the old standards that perpetuate racism from generation to generation.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>"Between being black " Negro" and being of African descent, which racial identity is best for you? This is where the Afro-descendant community has to make that decision if it wishes to change the narrative associated with racism in the United States."</b></p><p><br /></p><p>When we talk about racism and how to combat it, we continue to use the same colonial language used by the European colonizers who own slaves and, worst of all, many descendants of slaves defend that colonial language as a mechanism of group identification to achieve racial equality based on old paradigms. who maintain the fight against racism in a vicious circle, that is, in a circle in which everything leads to the same point because they have not had the courage to break the chains of mental slavery that is part of many Afro-descendants who they resist change in the way we talk about racism, blackness, and African heritage.</p><p>The type of narrative that we tell to the new generations, our children, grandchildren, which in some cases starts from the mental slavery suffered by some parents who defend the narratives created during the slave system, about what it means to be "black" in the 16th century. which is different from what it means to be black in the 21st century.</p><p>This is where to analyze the expression "I am black" and the impact it has on racial identity, personal self-esteem, individual value and how it perpetuates the stereotypes and prejudices associated with the expression "I am black" or "you are black" " They are black ", an expression associated with black people which is extremely important to understand how a symbol of the slave system is still used at this time by individuals in a post-slave society, especially the new generations, what it really means "I am black" from a historical and social point of view, but also as a group identification when we talk about combating racism in the 21st century.</p><p>When you identify yourself as "Black" you are using the colonial language which dehumanized the African slaves, denying them the right to self-identification ethnic, tribal, culture and the sense of belonging associated with their place of origin. If you want to lessen the effects of racism, identifying the colonial language in your conversation should be your priority as a mechanism to create a racial identity based on the needs of racial classification that fits the 21st century.</p><p>The creation of a new paradigm in which Learning to use the term black as an adjective not as a noun should always be part of the conversation. One thing is a black woman and another thing is a a woman with black skin. One thing is I am black and another thing is I am a black person or I am a man whose skin color is black. Human beings are not black or white, simply put "human beings are not a color", human beings are Negroid, or Caucasian.</p><p>If you are a black woman: Do not accept that anyone uses the word " Morenita o morena" or "my darling darling, my black woman" Because you do not know the psychological motivations of those who are using this expression in which they can start of an attitude of superiority and being condescending to you hides this superiority with affectionate expressions, but deep down it hides racist attitudes from the person who expresses it.</p><p>One home is a condescending behavior product of superiority and another thing is a feelings based on a genuine empathy as a show of affection.

<br />
<br />
A few months before the presidential elections in November, and the suspension of the presidential pre-campaign for the nomination Bernie Sanders' Democratic Party, that tells you that Joe Biden is considered the candidate for the presidency of the democrat party against Donald Donald trump candidate for the presidency by the Republican party.<br />
<br />
Can Joe Biden defeat President Trump in the elections in November without the full support of the liberals or progressive supporters of Bernie Sanders' candidacy? It is a question that no one knows the answer to right now, and more so when Joe Biden has not shown the political courage to embrace some of the progressive proposals of many followers of Bernie Sanders as part of his political platform in a possible Joe Biden presidency.<br />
<br />
Can the need to defeat Donald Trump or avoid at any cost four more years of the disaster of his presidency, as the only reason behind the support of the to Joe Biden? This is where enthusiasm is a factor to consider when talking about voting in the presidential elections next November. A different election where the type of leadership, handling of the covid-19 pandemic and the rescue of the American economy with huge unemployment will be the center of attention of the voters.<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter the low approval of President Donald Trump, especially when we talk about those battleground states like Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that Donald Trump won in the last election. Without the support of the Liberal Democrats as a result of Joe Biden's low enthusiasm behind the presidency for young Democrats, there is a good chance that Donald Trump will win those swing states if Joe Biden fails to motivate or attract the progressive side of the Democratic Party.<br />
<br />
Product of the Covid-19 health crisis in which social distancing is necessary, which has created a new political reality in the way politicians reach American voters. All the activities of a presidential election campaign have been canceled until now, that means that the large concentrations of people at political rallies are not possible due to social distancing.<br />
<br />
To carry out a political campaign only using the advertisements on the big national television networks and local channels or social networks, everyone knows that it is not economically not sustainable in the long term. Joe Biden's position speaking to voters from the basement of his home creates communication challenges for his message to be heard by voters. Communication weaknesses that can only be overcome with a leadership skill that Joe Biden has so far shown has not.<br />
<br />
Barack obama's fundraising ability may be impressive, but it can't be compared to the enormous advantage that Donald Trump has. This is where Bernie Sanders' fundraising ability can serve as an example to those who run Joe Biden's presidential company to compete with Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
For these reasons, many analysts say that Joe Biden needs the political and economic support of progressive Democrats to defeat Donald Trump. But also Joe Biden must use all the spokespersons and leaders of the democratic party as a way to publicize the political platform that will promote the presidency of Joe Biden in case he is elected as president.<br />
<br />
Can Joe Biden make an effective campaign from the basement of his house with a limited amount of access to the press, while Donald Trump the national press is at your disposal 24 of the day? It is another of the challenges facing the Democratic candidates as a result of Covid-19.<br />
<br />
This is where Joe Biden's leadership ability is needed, but also how he communicates his ideas from a position of weakness in which his low ability to promote his political platform to American voters is an almost impossible task.<br />
<br />
Joe Biden cannot give the impression in front of voters looking for someone other than Donald Trump who does not have the capacity or the energy to overcome the mobility limitations that the covid-19 is imposing.<br />
<br />
Lack of money to cover the election campaign and the low enthusiasm of the liberal Democrats is a challenge that the advocates of Joe Biden's campaign have to analyze if they really want to have the opportunity to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming December elections.<br />
<br />
How much will the accusation about Sexual harassment or acting inappropriately toward women affect Joe Biden, based on the accusation of <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/05/everyone-using-tara-reade/611443/" target="_blank">Tara Reade</a>, alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993? We have to say that Biden has unequivocally denied assaulting or harassing Reade.<br />
<br />
What are the leaders of the "Me Too movement" about these allegations? Choosing between Donald Trump and Joe Biden we could have an idea what this answer would be.<br />
<br />
It is something that no one knows the effect on that group of democratic women, especially women who live in the suburbs, Binde's reason has a better approval than Donald Trump. Although we must accept that comparing with Donald Trump we could say that Biden has nothing to worry about the negative effect of a negative campaign by Republicans, when we talk about Donald Trump's negative behavior against women.<br />
<br />
In some cases, Joe Biden's low energy is something if you are a democrat or an independent who wants to defeat Donald Trump in November creates some concern. Joe Biden from the basement of his house will not have the ability to defeat Donald Trump, it is a political reality that the supporters of Joe Biden's political campaign have to understand. Joe Biden must show American voters what are the reasons why he should be the next president.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-19722061478539671032020-05-01T16:40:00.000-07:002020-05-01T19:06:13.677-07:00How do you learn to laugh at yourself and not take life so seriously?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One of the great weaknesses of people is their limited ability to laugh at themselves, because they have taught to take what others do or say so seriously. We also believe this idea should apply to us and we have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves. But, something you must understand is that it is up to you to regain the ability you have to laugh at yourself and not take things so seriously.<br />
<br />
Some of us do not understand that our happiness begins when we learn not to take things in life so seriously and that sometimes we must learn to laugh at what we do, believe, think, say, We hope, but especially the nonsense that we sometimes do, if we realize it.<br />
<br />
Some scholars of human behavior have concluded that humans in some Societies take things too seriously as a result of indoctrination and social demands. Do not understand the negative effects of this type of philosophy of life is dangerous to the general well-being for those individuals who are subject to these individual restrictions. Many human beings in one way or another are imprisoned in a culture that inadvertently controls them.<br />
<br />
On the contrary, there are other societies whose individuals do not take anything seriously and consider this life as a I go further towards something much bigger than each one of them. We only have one life to live so why not We enjoy? Because in many cases, we are conditioned to take too many things in life too seriously.<br />
<br />
Product of popular beliefs, religious doctrines, cultural behavior or family traditions, some members act under a certain scheme of social behavior that is not good for their spirit and much less for your body, but it is also not beneficial for society as a whole. The social traditions that control our behavior limits us as individuals and that is not good for good mental balance.<br />
<br />
In some cultures, social shame creates a sense of individual imperfection or a feeling of shame that some members of this society use suicide as a mechanism to purify any socially reprehensible behavior, which endangers our general welfare as a species.<br />
<br />
Some people think that laughter is an emotional mechanism that allows each of us to release energy that it produces pleasure in us. This emotional discharge is automatic when we face events, situations or thoughts that seem silly and incredible, or create the feeling of general well-being. When we see children laugh, "adults" recognize that behavior as healthy. Behavior which we learn to suppress when we are adults.<br />
<br />
But, we also should be carefully observing how we have been taught to react to any situation in life. We must say that we will laugh because we have been taught to laugh. We take life very seriously because we have been taught to take life very seriously and that is expected of us as individuals.<br />
<br />
When did we learn to suppress this spontaneous reaction? We must thank the culture, the environment, the upbringing family and the teaching that we receive during our growth as individuals, but also in the type of attitudes that we acquire during our life.<br />
<br />
We must also accept that some of us have such negative behavior by choice, not imposition. social. Taking everything seriously produces in us a feeling of emotional control that over time brings as a consequence, a much more damaging effect on us than laughing at ourselves produces.<br />
<br />
A good thing to understand is that this learning process can be modified with the appropriate behavior, a change of attitude towards a new path and everything around us is the best solution. That way we can learn not to take things so seriously, if we want to.<br />
<br />
We can all regain the spontaneity that occurs when we laugh at ourselves without worrying about what others think about our behavior, but also about everything that occurs to us at certain times and we have learned to suppress it. Letting go of that negative conditioning that stops us should be ours mission in life.<br />
<br />
Leaving behind the old negative ideas, beliefs and behaviors that are against us is a challenge, but<br />
We can overcome it if we want to learn to laugh at ourselves as a new lifestyle. Laughter should always to be a spontaneous emotion that comes from within yourself without asking for permission. We are only free of links negative social when we laugh spontaneously at ourselves or don't take life very seriously not it matters what opinion the others have of our behavior.<br />
<br />
One of the great benefits of not taking life so seriously is reducing stress, frustration, and lack of control we feel when we are not tied to meet the social or cultural expectations of the rest. We should all do things that satisfy our well-being and laughing at ourselves has an effect positive in our body, our spirit, but also in our mental balance and general state of life.<br />
<br />
But, before we start not taking life so seriously, we must make a difference between the sense of<br />
social, personal or family responsibility and laugh at ourselves as a lifestyle. Something you always<br />
You must remember is that in life nothing is free. Happiness is sometimes the product of personal sacrifice. There are many decisions we make when trying to meet emotional, material, and spiritual of those who depend on us. As an individual, you must contribute as a social entity.<br />
<br />
Many times we assume social, political, religious, commercial or family responsibilities as part of<br />
our commitment as a human being, taking into account the positive effects that this type produces in us of exchange or social commitment. Even in these circumstances, we often should not take that seriously Paper, because ultimately you can believe it or not, the world keeps spinning, when someone does not notice your presence.<br />
<br />
No matter what we create, no one is indispensable all the time. We are all replaceable, no matter what circumstance we meet, that is one of the reasons why we should not take ourselves so seriously or always pretend that we are indispensable. When we are not present, people continue to live, society continues growing and, above all, the world keeps turning.<br />
<br />
Maybe that's one of the reasons why you should understand that things in life cannot be taken so<br />
I laughed. We must also learn to laugh at ourselves as a sign of personal acceptance, in which<br />
our shortcomings and limitations as an individual are part of that human reality in which our values and aspirations arise from recognition in which the individual characteristics and qualities that<br />
positively impacting our general well-being are always taken into account.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983036802317568747.post-34248632938124133862020-04-10T12:25:00.001-07:002020-04-10T18:21:56.965-07:00Why are African Americans dying in a higher proportion of Covid-19 than whites?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rv_bS8o6hKk/XpDICKebHeI/AAAAAAAAK5E/oWaT--rS8cgfQqoe551vgYF56JQuN1K0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1A%2B-%2Bblack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="405" data-original-width="720" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rv_bS8o6hKk/XpDICKebHeI/AAAAAAAAK5E/oWaT--rS8cgfQqoe551vgYF56JQuN1K0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/1A%2B-%2Bblack.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To understand the reason for this proportion in the death of African Americans compared to whites, there are some factors that we must know, such as economics, lifestyle, medical condition, and lack of political influence.<br />
<br />
African Americans have more existing medical problems, less access to health care, and are more likely to work in unstable jobs, all of the factors that have caused the coronavirus pandemic to disproportionately affect blacks compared to whites.<br />
<br />
Black Americans are dying overwhelmingly from the coronavirus at much higher rates compared to other Americans in some major cities, but most federal and state officials are not tracking or reporting racial data on victims of the coronavirus, which raises concern about the care of the most vulnerable populations in the nation.<br />
<br />
"What is happening is that blacks are becoming more infected because they are more exposed, and once infected, they die more because they have the burden of chronic disinvestment (and) active neglect of the community has been born ," she said. "When I look at it, it is because of structural racism, which does not place us in jobs with a view to the future so that we are exposed and less valued and do not have the protection we need."<br />
<br />
In Milwaukee County, home to the largest city in Wisconsin, African Americans account for approximately 70 percent of the dead, but only 26 percent of the population. The disparity is similar in Louisiana, where 70 percent of the people who died were black, although African-Americans make up only 32 percent of the state's population.<br />
<br />
In Michigan, where the 845 state-reported deaths outnumbered all except New York and New Jersey, African-Americans account for 33 percent of cases and approximately 40 percent of deaths, despite understanding only the 14 percent of the population.<br />
<br />
The state does not offer a breakdown of race by county or city, but more than a quarter of the deaths occurred in Detroit, where African Americans make up 79 percent of the population.<br />
<br />
And in Illinois, there is a disparity almost identical to that of Michigan at the state level, but the image becomes much more marked when looking at data from Chicago, where black residents have died at a rate six times greater than that of white residents. . Of the 118 deaths reported in the city, nearly 70 percent were black, a ratio 40 points higher than the percentage of African Americans living in Chicago.<br />
<br />
"Invariably, there are people left behind," he said at a press conference. "Most of the time, that lagging population is over-represented by communities of color."<br />
<br />
Communities of color have long faced disparities in the health care system in part due to discrimination, poor health and insufficient insurance coverage. Compared to whites, blacks have lower levels of health insurance coverage and are less likely to have insurance coverage through an employer. A 2015 report from the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured explained why accessing health care is so important to getting the right care, pandemic or not.<br />
<br />
"The barriers to access faced by the uninsured mean they are less likely to receive preventive care, more likely to be hospitalized for conditions that could have been avoided, and more likely to die in hospital than those with insurance," he said. The report.<br />
<br />
"When we talk about healthcare, it's easy to say it's accessible, but for people who don't have a<br />
job, a service job that has medical care, sometimes they use urgent care or the ward emergencies like your primary care doctor, "he said." So what this has done is widen those issues to show that there is still a big gap between races when it comes to health care. "<br />
<br />
William Rodgers, chief economist at the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, estimated that the true unemployment rate is probably 20.7% percent for African Americans rather than the official rate of 4.1 % and 18.7% for Hispanic workers, as opposed to the official rate of 6%. In some communities, the message of social estrangement doesn't seem to be getting home, as people continue to play basketball, hold card parties, and host pajama parties, black mayors say.<br />
<br />
The myth that insists that African Americans could not contract the coronavirus. a myth that initially took root based on the results of the first tests that showed that many white Americans became ill. False growth in the African American black population who are immune to the coronavirus.<br />
<br />
African Americans can be vulnerable to coronavirus complications because many tend to suffer from underlying health conditions, such as asthma and diabetes. But advocates are also concerned that minorities in the US USA Not be receiving adequate information about the disease or access to tests.<br />
<br />
Some of these health problems are related to the environment, like the water quality in Flint,<br />
Michigan State Representative Tyrone Carter said. "This pandemic simply magnifies what we already knew: access to medical care, environmental problems in certain communities, air quality, water quality.<br />
<br />
Hispanics, who are more likely than other groups to have no health insurance, also tend to be in poor health that could make them vulnerable to the coronavirus and access to treatment, adding to that the huge population of undocumented people in the United States.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
