#NP Anita Baker's “Giving You The Best That I Got”.

🍷🌹 💃

The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And when you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me.
—- Anita Baker
You never know what people have gone through. So, be patient with them.

Anita Baker had a rocky start in life, foster-care homes, a mother who abandoned her — yet today she’s a Grammy-winning singer.

Colorblind Racism

“If race disappears as a category of official division, as it has in most of the world, this will facilitate the emergence of a plural racial order where the groups exist in practice but are not official recognized - and anyone ....

... and anyone trying to address racial division is likely to be chided for racializing the population.”

— Professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Racism without Racists: #ColorBlindRacism

The ironic and inevitable consequence: Racial and Ethnic Violence. Those dissimilar identities that predate Nationalism will not bend a knee. They will refuse to be nationalized, de-negrofied, Putinized.

They will resist.

When The Kremlin says "We're not like the others" remind them that that they were often worse: They paved Wakanda and put up a Marxist statue.

They tricked African leaders to give up their local cultures for Marxism -- a German philosophy.

It's not African.
"Communism, socialism and Marxism are all ALIEN ideologies and can NEVER be defended by African tradition."

-- George Ayittey, Ghanaian economist

The Trotskys aggressively courted African leaders and stole resources to force and encourage their non- African, European, worldview on Africa — Marxism.

Karl Marx was German.

From Obama to Ketanji Brown Jackson: Tucker Carlson can't stand Black excellence a.msn.com/01/en-us/AAUB3…
Last week, Carlson claimed that Jackson — who served eight years as a federal district judge before being elevated last year to the prestigious U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Washington, D.C. — was not “much of a jurist,” was “simply ignorant of the law” and that her nomination ....
was an effort by Biden to “humiliate and degrade” our nation — turning it into “Rwanda.” (Yes, Carlson actually said “Rwanda.”)

“The price of this transformation is the unconditional freedom of the Negro; it is not too much to say that he, who has been so long rejected, must now be embraced, and at no matter what psychic or social risk. He is the key figure in his country...”

—James Baldwin, The Fire
“...and the American future is precisely as bright or as dark as his. And the Negro recognizes this, in a negative way. Hence the question: Do I really want to be integrated into a burning house?”
“White Americans find it difficult..to divest themselves of the notion that they are in possession of some intrinsic value that black people need, or want..which, for example, makes the solution to the Negro problem depend on the speed with which Negroes accept white standards.”
