“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
—Hannah Arendt, German historian and philosopher (1906–1975)
@AfricanaCarr Why in the heck are you so down on Barak Obama! How has he hurt you? He did something no one else that looks like you or I have done. The brother that you were attempting to shut down was speaking the truth. We tear ourselves down. Out in public! They win when that occurs!
One more thing @AfricanaCarr …, we are all “chocolate wonders”. My kids and grandkids, nieces and nephews, are called that often. In my view, if you’re melanated striving, surviving, thriving, succeeding, succeeded, we are “that”. e.g. Thurgood, Jackie, Willie, etc…
Part 3 (final) @AfricanaCarr
God bless you and you family my brother. I’m down with any of us who are sincere and really trying, especially those breaking through as the 1st. I’d also vote for & continue to ride with a deep brother like you too. Thx for all u have done/do.
Part 2…..I’m can only imagine something Obama did or said to you cut so deep, he & Eric, & Michelle, & Susan, & Valerie, & Dr. MLK, can never repent, or be reconciled. Many of us, like all of them, have high standards. But unlike Jesus, we can and do fall short.
@AfricanaCarr my brother, I love you, respect you, I have a niece at Howard, she says she wants to study law, I referred her to you, I have a friend who’s son attended the med school, we’re good. Part 1…
@AfricanaCarr Dr Carr, just sharing. I think you mentioned in that conversation with brother Z, that the R-word hadn’t been discussed yet. We’re certainly going to see something now. Love you brother! I have a niece at Howard considering studying law. I’ve shared links to you.
@McFaul My brother, you know it is not. Also, by democracy do you mean an Athenian-type of true democracy? Because as you know, our country’s system of governance is that of a Constitutional Democratic Republic.
@orleansway Skin Tight, Angel, Ecstasy, Jazz-At-Lay-Dee. I don’t have just one. And for my other hometown group Lakeside: Shot of Love, Keep on Moving, and Your Wish is My Command. (More trivia, they got their name from a neighborhood amusement park named Lakeside; located off Home Ave.
@orleansway Great question! I’m from Dayton originally. (They use to pull up in their tour bus to hangout with our next door neighbors. [in the suburb of Jefferson Twp.] My dad famously would go next door and tell them they had to move out from in front of our driveway. Anyway 👇🏾
Trump sent the military into a hurricane to distract from Epstein, and they had to turn around. Endangering troops for personal gain. Our military has never been so poorly managed.
Trump gave a 90-minute speech at the UN.
He called immigration an “invasion,” said climate change is a “hoax,” and claimed he ended 7 wars on his own.
He mocked the UN, bragged about the U.S. economy, and warned other countries to follow his lead.
It sounded like a campaign rally — at the UN.
