If We Can Erase History . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Our society presently is doing all it can to erase history, instead of learning from it. Starting with the statue removals of people that were significant to White history but brought disfavor from the Black community. Does anybody remember who these monuments were made for? If you go back in history to when those men were alive, all Black people were referred to as the “N-word.” And, it was acceptable at that time in our history. But, back to my point . . .

People in our history owned slaves and today most of us find owning slaves offensive. So, we tear down monuments to historical slave owners that were not subjected to such disfavor during their lifetime. Nobody sees the now offensive monument, so nobody is provided the story that it told. And although today’s society sees such things differently from what we found acceptable in days gone by, how were they looked at back then. Were some of these people looked upon favorably in their day even by their slaves? We need to quit applying our current opinions to situations in the past. You cannot hold somebody from 50 years ago accountable to today’s beliefs.

Now we are looking at the removal of books that are about Black athletes because the books tell of the racial issues they faced. I’m talking about players like Hank Aaron who was one of first Black Baseball Players in the South. Again, by removal of the books we are erasing history. Why aren’t we keeping the statues and adding information of how these people fell to disfavor. Books good, bad, or absolute lies need to be retained for history and noted where right or wrong, but never taken from education or removed from public access.

Our society has this racism thing wrong. Racism does exist and some people will never change, they will always hate people of different color, different financial status, and/or other stupid reason to hate. People fall into this racism thig too easily. They jump to racism quickly as a reason for any Black/White conflict. Why? White people abuse everybody. Look at history. At the same time White people were abusing Blacks, was anyone else abused? What about the Irish? The Chinese? Or, the American Indian? Or , the real abused. We took one race, put them in camps, stole their property and didn’t give it back. I refer to the Japanese. White man has abused every race throughout history, and still do today. Black people have been lied to for years, fed statistics that were false data, had stories of occurrences sensationalized for impact, but nobody has really looked at the overall abuse of everybody instead of just Blacks.

Check the data. Ask yourself if anybody else other than Blacks have been subjected to similar abuse although not racism? White women were not allowed to vote for years and consider the womans bra burning years. That was over rights, abuse, wages, and complaints that match the same issues consider complaint of racism towards Black people. And still today many of t5he same issues exists but because it doesn’t involve skin color it isn’t called racism.

My point being racism is racism only when directed towards Blacks from Whites. There are no acts involving any other race, sex, religion, or financial status that are of consequence. No, that is wrong. Events occur daily in this country that are violations of our rights that go un-noticed and easily overlooked because Black people are not part of the complaint. Get this America . . . .

BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE ABUSED IN THIS COUNTRY. Is it possible some other factor, other than race need be considered? Quit looking at skin color for a minute and consider other factors. There is nothing that Black people have been subjected to that other races haven’t been subjected to. So if it is not race specific abuse, why is it considered racism? Quit using skin color as a reason for failure, look deeper to ascertain the real cause and fix it. In the interim, keep destroying the things we should be using to make us remember this country’s history and learn from it. In the future, none of these issues will have ever been an issue, because it has been erased. That just sounds real stupid, like something one of our politicians would say.

It Is About Time Somebody . . .

For a couple years, I’ve been saying things about racism in America today, only to be regarded from a distance as though I was some crackpot that doesn’t know what he is talking about. Yesterday somebody writing for the Washington Examiner wrote a similar cover of this topic. It is good to see someone else doing research to find the truth. Now if we could just get the people that are supposed to know these facts, such as our political leaders, religious leaders, and those that speak the loudest, we could grow a little and identify issues other than skin color that can be resolved.

I’m not going to write on this topic a lot today, because I think it important that you read the article in the Washington Examiner I noted earlier. I will say that our racial problems are the makings of those profiting from racism far more than anything else, Sure we will forever have those that hate differing skin color, of all races. But we as a people really are better than that. Here’s the link to the Washington Examiner article: The ‘systemic’ problem with policing isn’t racism

Inappropriate Dress

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

This is the stupidest topic I have ever come across. Do you people realize that you are allowing individual people to require you, a grown tax-paying, law abiding adult, dress how they want you to dress? You can play fashion police all you want, but unless some part of my attire is a violation of law, you can kiss my ass . . . I will wear what I want. Let me play a little history back at ya’.

Most of my childhood through adult years I enjoyed media showing some hot looking gal, with a byline of “Just because I’m showing my ass, it isn’t an invitation for rape” or something like that. It simply made the male responsible for his inappropriate sexual conduct. Presently, we have every place, organization, business, and transportation outfit playing dress censorship and making the decision of the moral compass of the Country. Talk about getting away with being a hater.

Have you noticed that most the people being made subject of such censorship are attractive? A nurse that gets a complaint that she looks too good in her scrubs, and today a gal that gets it because her tights she wears to the gym look too good. There have been quite a few in the middle that also could be included within this rant, but it isn’t necessary. What scares me most about this bullshit is this isn’t being done in accordance with any law, these people are legally dressed. No, this is being done by some person that believes they have the right to violate the law that says you can wear that. It’s a First Amendment right in case you are wondering.

The Courts have upheld laws of censorship for schools and in the workplace, allowing the School Board and Employers to set a dress code for students and employees so that folks are not distracted by others when they should be hard at work or learning. But, when did it became law that it was legal to censor the public at large?

“What do female tourists wear in Saudi Arabia?

New public decency standards were introduced in 2019, allowing visitors to wear some western-style attire. Female travelers are no longer required to wear an abaya or a headscarf. In public places, wearing short skirts, tight trousers, and revealing tops will attract negative gazes and disapprovals. Instead, female tourists should choose a loose outfit or dress covering the shoulders, chest, and legs. Another critical consideration while dressing for Saudi Arabia is to wear only opaque fabrics. People should not be able to see the underpants through clothes.

One should stay away from bright hues like red, yellow, and green, which can draw unwelcome attention. Instead, one can choose light and muted shades. Female tourists can wear jeans, but they should make sure the top half of the outfit is long enough to cover their backside. They can wear a bikini if they stay in a villa with their private pool but cover up when not in the water.”

Is this where we are going here in America? Little by little, each day, we find a way to eliminate our Rights. Sooner or later it will become law that you don’t have any rights, but it won’t affect you. No, it will affect your children’s children that will grow up in a society that no longer has a right to choose how they want to dress, what occupation they wish to pursue, or what God they should pray to. Is that the legacy you want to leave behind?

And what really pisses me off is the people making complaint likely do not even know what this Country’s Constitution is? Or, they are the biggest hypocrite alive because every damn one of them dressed provocatively most of their younger lives and many still do, but it is not okay for anyone else to do so.

I don’t care who you are or how old you are, you do not have the right to violate anybody’s personal freedoms. And if you believe you do have such right, I hope somebody sets you straight before you cause additional harm to our Country.

We Have All Been Lied To . . .

For years and more years lies about racial issues have been commonplace everywhere. Blacks and a whole bunch of Whites believe so seriously in all the hype of abuse towards Blacks that even when a claim proven a lie, they still believe in the lie.

  • The contention that Blacks make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, so they should only get killed by police at that same 13 percent, is stupid. The information that brought about this reality was supported by a database compiled by The Washington Post in which it demonstrated the Black population at approximately 13 percent while police shootings of Blacks was above 20 percent in some cities. What people using this data is although the nation-wide black population is approximately 13 percent, in most major cities the Black population ranges from 20 to 60 percent. Also, in these same city’s Black population after dark (As in who is there to be shot by police) is close to 80 percent. The 13 percent rule is a lie
  • Almost all the issues being considered for reparations are being treated as though it only a Black issue. Do you really believe that Whites only treated Blacks poorly? White people treat everyone poorly, even Whites. Every issue raised by reparations has also affected some White people in much the same way as Blacks.
  • The idea that Whites have not suffered the same issues as Blacks is ridiculous. Employment, Education, and other opportunities have all been White abusive. And still continue to be. Blacks may only be a small percentage of the workforce in one category, while in others they have a much higher percentage. Players in NFL Football teams are 70 to 90 percent Black. Many occupations are at a high percentage of Blacks. When you look at percentages, look at the numbers 13 percent Black equals 1 or 2 percent White to have the same numbers.
  • Educators world-wide seem to think actually researching information before they further influence our youth is not important. There is a fella named Tom Thornhill that teaches a course on White Racism in Florida. I doubt he has truly done any research into the topic and he believes there is no such thing as Black Racism. He like so many of our educators teaches to promote racism. Until such time as they actually do the research to ascertain actual facts and figures they are teaching nothing but racial disharmony and failing our education system.

Why do we have the racial issues we have today? Because somebody is making money from it. Every organization that has a race name in their title is doing all of us another dose of racism. That’s how they put food on their table. But recognize it for what it is. Racism is not that hard to fight. Just mature enough to become color-blind and learn to treat people of all colors as equals. It is really not that hard to do. Those that claim to be “Woke” aren’t. How can you be “woke” if you only know one side of the topic?

Let’s Add Another FAVORITE to the New Racism . . .

San Francisco’s Mayor finds a way to create another rift in the City’s racial divide by giving guaranteed incomes for Transgender People. “San Francisco launches guaranteed income program for transgender people” is the original story in the News.

And this is where it starts! Don’t give resources to those in need by degree of need, Just give to people of one group while the rest go hungry or homeless. Let’s see how many people of need suffer while this group is protected. When did Government get so damn stupid? All they have done is create hatred towards transgender people. Then they expand on their idea with more?

They expand their scope of people qualified for this financial give away:

According to its website, the program will prioritize the following demographics for enrollment: “transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex people who are also Black, indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), experiencing homelessness, living with disabilities and chronic illnesses, youth and elders, monolingual Spanish-speakers, and those who are legally vulnerable such as TGI people who are undocumented, engaging in survival sex trades, ​or are formerly incarcerated.”

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO NEEDY WHITE PEOPLE IN SAN FRANCISCO? That is what it says. Look above, they have managed to list everybody except Whites. People incarcerated and even undocumented people can be considered and manage not to include the word “White” anywhere in their demographic. I would love to believe that San Francisco has nothing but the “well to do” living without problems within the confines of the City. But sadly I cannot believe that. Can you really visualize a committee meeting where the members discuss how to exclude White people? And you don’t feel it wrong? If you don’t think there are just as many needy White people as there are others, then you need to educate yourself a little bit. Sure there may be 10 percent of one race needy amounting to a significant number, but 2 percent of White people amounts to a far higher number than others.

So the City of San Francisco has created another issue that will cause disharmony on our streets. They could of done the smart thing and put somebody in their government that is interested in stopping racism/favoritism, and ignorance in the street. Perhaps somebody that is smart enough to recognize need beyond skin color or sex? There is absolutely nothing today that should be given to anybody based on the color of skin or the spelling of a name. and/or sexual preference. Every organization that uses skin color as part of its name should be run out of town on a rail. These organizations make their living off of racial divide, yet do nothing to stop it. And any money, housing, assistance, or benefit to be offered should be distributed based upon need. And, if the responsible parties distributing such cannot mature enough to act as color-blind, they need to be unemployed immediately. As a matter of fact anybody in any government employ that cannot do their jobs less use of skin color, needs to seek employ elsewhere.

There is a way to fix this. And it starts by practicing what we preach of men being equal. Nobody should receive anything over somebody more needy. Nobody should receive anything based upon skin color. And no politician that supports doing so is acting for the betterment of their community. I had so much hope the Bay Area was going to do things right but see nothing but disappointment from acts of our politicians. It is simple folks! ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, treat them as such.

Father Kills 2 Year-old Son . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

That isn’t the actual headline of the story. But, it is true. The headline read: N.C. Boy, 2, Finds Loaded Gun in Front Seat of Truck and Kills Himself, and Father Faces Charges . And the father should face charges, murder chargers. It’s the same story over and over again. Somebody doesn’t secure their weapon properly, and someone gets killed because of it. The true problem in this case as is in many, a child gets dead. You have to ask yourself, what kind of jackass parent leaves a loaded gun where a 2 year-old kid can get access to it? While we are asking questions, why was he even carrying a gun in the first place?

I think we are seeing a pattern developing here. Parents cannot handle being parents so they have found a way to eliminate children. No, that is likely not the case. But can you think of any reason to endanger your children that qualifies as important or threatening enough that you need carry a gun?

Guns are a necessary evil in many of our lives. But the necessity has never included the killing of your own child due to gun owner negligence Yet it seems as though we hear it almost daily. With gun ownership comes responsibility. If you own it, you are responsible for any mis-use of it. If you are stupid enough to not secure it and it gets used in a mass shooting or even ends in the death of your own child, you are the one that made it happen, you are the one needs to be charged with committing the crime.

And I hope they throw the fucking book at you!

The Halloween, that wasn’t . . .

Have we already lost to those who wish us a lack of fun and lost imagination? Have they sufficiently beat us down so far that we cannot go into our city streets and have fun anymore? What has happened to the land that I love? What has happened to the people that used to live in this Country that enjoyed the party, the costumes, and the thrill of having our hearts beating in fear of something or someone hiding in the dark?

You may not have missed Halloween last night. If you were lucky and the Halloweens’ found you, tell em I miss em.

Wait, what the hell am I supposed to do with all this candy? I am diabetic, I cannot eat all this (munch, munch, burp . . .) candy! Diabetic Coma, here I come. You know, I only bought candy that I liked. Stuff like “Reese Peanut Butter Cups,” “3 Musketeers,” and “HoHo’s.” And, I bought gobs of it. I can swim in Peanut Butter and Chocolate for the next week if I want.

Man, I hope Turkey Day and Christmas doesn’t pass me by . . . Oh Santa?

Wait! I know somebody had a Halloween! So long as there be ex-wives and mothers-in-law, there be witches!

The State of America . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

I read an article in a news publication today in which people were asked to say what they thought of the state of America today using one word. Let it suffice to say, there were very few favorable responses and no visible argument to the negativity noted. Why? What has happened to America? Has America become both financially and morally bankrupt? Has the Pandemic destroyed the heart of America? Has racial divide and failure of us to educate our young brought about the end of peace on our streets? What exactly has happened to America?

The Pandemic brought about a lot of loss. Family, friends, and neighbors suddenly were sick or dead. We were unable to be in close contact with others which for many is a human need. When we did go out into the community again it waws with a mask covering our face. Our neighbors and friends fought over this requirement in public stores and streets largely because of misinformation passed on social media. Dis-trust of our Government grew significantly day-by-day, and nothing could be done to stop the downhill trend not to believe in Government. This dis-trust continues today because our Government to date has failed to identify the source of the Covid-19 virus that almost killed a Nation that has done nothing to discover the reasons why.

A Nation of unemployed supported by Government with far too much time on their hands as Pandemic restrictions eased allowed the growth of criminal activity on our streets, followed by the unfortunate death of George Floyd while in police custody on a public street brought racial tensions to the top of our Nations issues as well as the crippling of our police departments across the Nation. Presently, crime has increased to such a degree that our city streets are unsafe even during daylight hours Police Officers disheartened by cries of the public to “defund the police” and the inability of Government to acquire enough recruits to fill the required police officer employees, has left police departments unable to meet the challenges of fighting crime in our neighborhoods to the extreme that store closures are necessary due to rampant theft.

Inmates that were released from our prisons and jails control our streets with the help of local street thugs that even when law enforcement catches them, are back on the streets within hours leaving the community living in fear. People that had previously lived a life of lawful living suddenly found the only way to prosper in life was to take what you wanted, has begun to do so. Even in the best of neighborhoods, crime riddles the streets and fear of “home-invasion” is real While it has in the past been offensive to declare “martial law” to protect the community, may become necessity in the near future.

Failure of “gun owners” to properly secure their weapons continues to be a primary factor in many school mass shootings, and other shootings of our children. And, no matter how loud it is hollered people still cannot hear our pleas to “please secure your guns.” Our Government still fails to prosecute gun owners for the mis-use of their guns by others, even when negligence by the gun owner is obvious continues. Parents as well as children fear school days and wait for the dreaded call of an incident at their local schools. On the adult venue, people no longer feel safe attending events such as concerts, fairs, or even movies.

I have to stop writing this. The negativity compiled by simply writing this thus far, hurts. Where is this headed? How and to what degree are we going to have to go to defend ourselves? This is not the America I grew up in nor the America our children should live in. You see, the previous paragraphs written are just the tips of the ice-berg. I could write for days on this topic and not repeat the same concern twice. I’m unsure of whom to point a finger at to blame for the state of America today, without the finger eventually pointing back at myself, as in all of us. And to make things even worse, I cannot think of a single thing to say good on this topic . . .

Can you? Feel free to comment below.

The Headline Read . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

Today’s news story of interest has a headline that says: “Florida Sergeant in Hot Water for Tweet Calling Black People One of ‘America’s Biggest Problems’.” This statement is one of the most true statements in the news today.

Black people ARE one of America’s biggest problems today, and a problem that is not a simple fix for anyone to resolve. And the fact that all of America jumps on the band-wagon of anyone making claim of anything negative without checking the information out for validity before they follow like sheep. People believe America has become more knowledgeable of things due to social media when the opposite is true. The only way social media can be beneficial to anyone is if the lies are not given credibility because we are too lazy to research the information finding the truth. We are so prone to accepting negative claims about anything that quite often social media accuses, tries, convicts, and seeks hanging until dead, dead, dead . . . On false information, before an investigation of any sort is conducted. And, the eagerness to follow false information has become ridiculous.

Now, nothing said above has any negative statement against any race, sex, religion, or otherwise is offensive. Raise your hand if you think I made a racial statement or untrue statement above. Alright, now count.

Do you think you are really knowledgeable about the issues of People of Color in America today? Answer these simple questions:

  1. What is the percentage of America are Black people?
  2. Black Lives Matter is an organization that was formed for the betterment of All Black people in America?
  3. Corporate America fears the Black Man?
  4. Where can you find the database that claims Black people are approximately 13% of the U.S. population?
  5. Are you truly informed and knowledgeable on the issues relevant to Black people in America today?
  6. Is there any program/solution in place today that is not in furtherance of racism?
  7. Black people are killed by police more than any other race?

No, the above isn’t a poll. I am not recording your answers. There will not be an additional test later in this session. But, how many of these questions do you believe you have the correct answer? You don’t even have to leave this site to see if you are right or not regarding your answers. Just read the information presented on this web site. But, DO NOT accept it as truth unless you are willing to validate the information by other means.

Why is it when people speak truth, they get treated poorly? It isn’t because they are wrong. It may make them less popular, but they still are telling the truth shouldn’t we listen? Didn’t we listen when they had a different opinion? Not only did we listen, but we marched on their opinion. If their opinion was the popular opinion we would listen and follow their lead. Don’t fret, I have the answer to these questions and more.

The reason we don’t listen to or follow the less desirable opinion is because we as a society are a bunch of sheep following somebody that may not even know what they are talking about. And most of us are too lazy to do the research to seek the truth. I realize that this is not a popular opinion but it is still the truth. We believe we are so enlightened by the information provided by the Internet, but if you are following somebody else’s lie or misinformation? Go ahead, keep following like sheep . . .

Allow me top give you an example. Most believe Black Lives Matter was formed to represent the Black race. It was not! I know I could give you the answer to this, but would you believe me? George Floyd is likely rolling over in his grave with Kanye’s drug accusation. But, after you’ve destroyed city after city did you ever wonder how he ended up on the ground with a cops knee on his neck? Under no circumstance should he have died while restrained by police, but how did he end up on the ground in the first place? These are the questions you need ask if you seek truth. Most people believe that the Washington Post’s database that claims that Black People are 13% of the population and get treated so unfairly by police and others based upon that percentage gives a true representation of the topic. It doesn’t but the Washington Post has done nothing to clarify their claims. Although nation-wide Black People make up about 13 percent of the population, in many of our major cities the Black population is 33 to 60 percent.

It is easy to follow somebody else’s stupidity, but that only serves to make you just as stupid. Research before you follow, its the smart thing to do.
