Americans on The War: Some Are Against The Huge Ukraine Relief Given The US’ Own Problems With Poverty And Lack

By

Some Americans, especially African Americans in Philadelphia (whose city is beset by rising poverty, falling incomes and homelessness among younger peoples and are reeling from a drug epidemic that’s destroyed towns like the one shown in the cover image (Kensington Philadelphia suffering from de-industrialization) are against this 12.1 billion dollar package because they say what about poor people here in this country (US). They say it’s too much. That’s from several conversations I have had among 20 city residents, especially African American males 25 and older in Philadelphia. But they also so they can’t without Russian products and business for its business. They have desires that must be fulfilled. However, these arguments contradict themselves, they make a moral argument and then make an amoral one based on greed.


First of all what’s the highest ethic? Isn’t it to  preserve life. Doing what we can to save a life? 

Secondly, just because we have needs in our life, does that preclude us from helping others? If helping was based on not having any needs then no one would have gotten ahead in life. Jeff Bezos grandparents sure needed that 300,000.00 when they took it and gave it to him to start AMAZON. Look at where he is and what he has done with AMAZON today. 


Thirdly, if people are in need, then we shouldn’t make it an issue when we are engaged with resolving other concerns as if to say we can’t resolve a problem without clearing all the other problems we have. It’s selfish and does not take into account the other or life. Further every issue should be tackled in their own merits. If there are poor Americans then we should deal with that issue, without using it as a sticking point when considering other matters. Further design with issues of poverty is in itself difficult in America when it’s a political issue and politics is highly divided in the US. So one can imagine the complications of dealing with this. Case in point, it took several presidency over several years before an affected healthcare package was created and that was tumultuous and continues to be a political issue. An infrastructure bill was just passed by a bipartisan house which also had a myriad of challenges and took some time to finally pass the houses. 


Fourthly, in a sense, the relief is a way to appease the soul for in a way the US has helped to finance Russia’s war with the continued business links that provide Putin with the resources to invade. If we believe in reparations, then we cannot oppose this 12.1 billion and rising relief by the US.

Zelenskyy: It’s Day 18. We Hold Key Positions. Close The Skies. We’re Going Through The Worst Odeal.

In summary, President Zelenskyy said: It’s day 18. We hold key defensive positions. Close the Ukrainian Airspace before it gets worse; Russian bombs have already neared NATO’s borders (within 20 miles).  Negotiations are actively underway between Russia and Ukraine and this has led to the more than 10 corridors that are opened today so that  over 5550 refugees were able to securely leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Melitopol, Donbas and other regions safely except for Mariupol which remains blocked by Russian troops. They are working on getting that reopened. He visited the wounded and handed out medals today and spoke with several European leaders who assured continued support and shared concerns about the wider implications of Putin’s goals and Russia’s invasion is closing in on their (EU’s) borders. He ended by saying: We are going through the worst ordeal in our history and in our lives to protect the most precious thing we have. We must hold on. We must fight. And we will win...

Police Reform in #America Must include Rebranding the Police ...Change their “LOOK”

By
#PoliceReform Must also include rebranding the #PoliceForce; changing their anti friendly countenance, stance, color,  clothes and updating their car. Their “LOOK” needs to become more customer or #CommunityService Friendly. Moral Authority is a currency that has lost value for Law Enforcement and when a currency looses its value it must change, the state must intervene just as the Federal Reserve Bank intervenes to protect its monetary value of its currency in this case the state needs to constantly intervene in the currency of its law enforcement. But this has never been the case. #Democrats and #Republicans are all guilty of their indifference and soft approach to dealing with and restoring  the credibility of the police. States always seem to fail to act or are too slow to protect the integrity of its people and the currency of its police due to political and ideological differences that has nothing to do with building a strong #Policdforce for all people. A force that ser...

What is the “Ultimate” of All Things? By Renaldo McKenzie

By
What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). I ndeed,  culture of categories, groups and labels minimize, mitigate and or manage change.  Change is not possible when the people are divided. This “Divide” put people against each other. So that, those in “Power” can remain... panning to their “divide” in effect forming a shield of defense that protect their resolve against those on the other side of the “divide”.  Thereby, solidifying their Power and perpetuating the issues that bind and create strife. Indeed, Power uses whatever tools available to it to get what it wants and to maintain, at the unsuspecting “laymen” who are tricked in putting their membership in a group over their membersip of humanity; and shouldn’t this be a crime to put our group over the whole. For isn’t it the ultimate of all things that we are “One” so that none is above ...
