I am so ashamed today [View all]

to be an american.

As an AA vet who should NEVER have fought the Vietnamese during my service in the United States Army that in reality carried out genocide against 1st americans and helped to spread wypipo racism to every corner of this land. A racism that is just as widespread and virulently hateful today as those days of post-slavery ameriKKKan apartheid(hate) called the Segregationist Era, 1866-1950.

And in 2018 having again to face ignorant, stupid WHITE PEOPLE who have been led to believe by a racist extremely stupid POTUS that somehow they are superior to all others living on this planet under cover of skin that is not white. Rampant racist hate and murder of innocent AA are here again perpetrated by police and citizen alike with authority from the state. No point here.

Just ashamed to be an american these days.
