.#DACA

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote comes from Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, New Colossus, which she wrote for a fundraiser auction to raise money for the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty now sits.

 “The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit. As of 2017, approximately 800,000 individuals were enrolled in the program created by DACA. The policy was established by the Obama Administration in June 2012 and rescinded by the Trump Administration in September 2017.[1] The policy was established by executive action rather than legislation; however, participating individuals were sometimes referred to as Dreamers after the DREAM Act bill, a bipartisan bill first proposed in 2001 that was the first of a number of subsequent bills in the U.S. House and Senate attempting to provide a pathway to citizenship or other legal status for certain undocumented residents who immigrated illegally as children and subsequently completed some college or military service.”[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals]

America will pay for her sins against humanity. Each and every family group, except one, has come to these shores from another country. Whether it was to seek a new opportunity or escape some horrific living/dying condition. Famine, Nazi escapees. Later years seeking education to further their country of origin in the industrial revolutions.  Political asylum, etc. Came to this land. In the beginning it was a clear invasion. Robbing first nations of their land in the name of democracy.

            Side Note: “Emanate Domain” as #45 used several years ago to expand a parking lot to        move an elderly lady out of her house.

Here today this nation is so hollowed out that they agree to a border wall at the tune of 8 to 14 billion dollars. The war veterans are sleeping on our streets, they are dying waiting for medical attention from a country that they gave their life for. There is no living wages period. To ask for a minimum wage increase must take an ‘act of congress’. On the other hand, a board can vote to increase utilities by a majority regardless if the customers have means to pay.

I digress, THE WALL is on the land of these people’s ancestors that America stole. Los Angeles; Santa Barbara; New Mexico; to name a few still carry the names of the scares of war. The hatred runs deep along with racism. To say America, need more people from Norway-esk is blatant white supremacy.

The fires, mudslides, floods, hurricanes, natural disasters are just a few of The Judgment this nation will face.  

My people has to face their own Judgement because the 400-year prophecy is soon up.

Richard Claxton Gregory

                                        October 12, 1932-August 19, 2017

 Was an American civil rights activist, social critic, writer, entrepreneur, comedian, conspiracy theorist, and occasional actor. Sunrise: October12, 1932 St. Louis, MO; Sunset: August 19,2017 Washington, D.C. Survived his wife of 58 years Lillian nee Smith Gregory and 11 children, 10 surviving.  Richard Jr., ( who died two months after birth): Michele, Lynne, Pamela, Paula, Stephanie (a.k.a. Xenobia), Gregory, Christian, Miss, Ayanna, and Yohance.

The earliest I remember of a man named Dick Gregory was in my youth about 8 or nine years old seeing how my father responded to him being on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He sat straight up in his chair and chuckled for the next few minutes, really very hard. I took notice. From then on, I would listen to him and how he would make sense of the struggles of the day back then while doing it with humor. When you would see the Rev. Dr. Martin L. King shortly after that I would notice Mr. Gregory in some compacity speaking, marching, very visible for civil rights of Black People.  I have tried his Bahamian Diet for a while back in the 1980’s to which if I had stuck with I might have lost more weight. With 2 small children, it was impossible for me at least. It was to my recollection a powered drink mix as a meal replacement that had a tropical taste to it. Then came along the slim-quick drink powered drink mixes we know today. He was ahead of his time then.

Mr. Gregory has written several books:

Nigger’, an autobiography written with Robert Lipsyte, E. P. Dutton, September 1964. (one account says 1963) (reprinted, Pocket Books, 1965–present)

‘Write me in!’, Bantam, 1968.

‘From the Back of the Bus’

‘What's Happening?’

‘The Shadow that Scares Me’

‘Dick Gregory's Bible Tales’, with Commentary, a book of Bible-based humor.

‘Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature!’

‘Up from Nigger’

‘No More Lies; The Myth and the Reality of American History’

‘Dick Gregory's political primer

(with Mark Lane), Murder in Memphis: The FBI and the Assassination of Martin Luther King

(with Mel Watkins), African American Humor: The Best Black Comedy from Slavery to Today (Library of Black America)

Robert Lee Green, Dick Gregory, daring Black leader

Forward written by Dick Gregory ‘African American Humor: The Best Black Comedy from Slavery to Today’

"Not Poor, Just Broke", short story

‘Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies’, 2017.

All of them are a good read. They address racism with humor to an audience full of white people is very tricky and hard to pull off.

He found with humor we are not that different with our day to day struggles. To shed light on what is mostly misunderstandings helps, if one wants to bridge a gap between communities. You would have to walk in my shoes to understand how it is to walk in a store and be followed around, or to want to feed my family with work and be called names and spat on and it’s okay with you on a Sunday morning? The Civil Rights Movement was about getting rid of the notion we, the Hebrews of the Bible, [ taken from Judah-land for slavery] are more than 1/3^rd human. ‘All men are created equal’ was not meant for us in this country. We had to and still fight for basic human rights today. At most every junction of protests for civil rights Mr. Gregory was there.

In his last days, he was still an Activist for our causes. He spoke about the drinking water, food to better health and need of lack thereof for so much processed garbage we put into our system. If 60 people came right behind me to write something they would be adding another 100 pages or more. Mr. Dick Gregory was a force to be reckoned with intellectually. I will add another picture in my home along with the Rev. Dr.; Malcolm.

Mr. Gregory was and will always be one our greatest leaders of our community.

We give you back to God our Creator

#Insanity

Sooo, YOU say health care is an entitlement, paid into Social Security throughout a working lifetime is an entitlement. You do not want to and, voted against giving a living wage. You voted to increase utilities costs. How do You expect for me to survive? You want me to go back to my country you say? News Flash; this is my country. I was here when you got here, [ even though you want to put up a wall] I was captured and drugged her to help to build this country. Some of Your ancestors came here the same way. Maybe you were fortunate enough to get a head start from your family or someone else with resources took a chance on you.

            Now, today you repeat the hateful rhetoric of “entitlement”, “handouts”, etc. We the 99% pay way more taxes percentage wise then the ultra-rich 1%. I don’t want your money, I want to live like the next family working a living wage and paying for what I need and want.

I want to be able to go the store and purchase food that was grown in this country, in season so that the farmers can see a profit as well. The clothes on my back in made with pride in the USA and not from some ‘child labor/underpaid’ 3^rd world factor for the sake of bottom line profit. I do understand profit margins, and board of director’s concern about the bottom line; my bottom line is close to the top, I stay in the ‘red’; less ‘red’ from one month to the next ‘red’ non-the less.

There are many examples of ‘Ghost-towns’ were the $$ ran out and there was either nothing to sustain or nothing stay for. America is on that ‘slippery-slop’ to Ghost-cities…

No jobs; no health care; no utilities; no food; no schools; just police states. [shooting unarmed civilians]
