WHITE MEN BEING or I’d Really Like to be With You – BUT I can’t

Image
White Men Being or I’d Really Like to be With You – BUT I can’t “Why can’t you?” - Privileged white men – my peers – disproportionately are “not there” when it comes to “doing the work”! In white Anti-Racism spaces, I normally see about 20-25% men, 75-80% gender-non-binary and/or women.    Among the white men, we het/hettish men seem even more under-represented.     In an embodied, not head based, nine month training with Resmaa Menaken, less than 5% of us were male.    I struggled there.   (The struggle was a good challenge for me.) I’m “very male” in significant ways! Before going further, I’d like to dedicate this writing to two very special People: Esther Armah – an amazing Black Woman https://www.theaiej.com/about   + my review of her excellent book: https://www.georgemarx.org/2024/06/emotional-justice-esther-armah-amazing.html I was lucky (and privileged) both to hear her speak and to briefly talk with her and have our picture taken together. and: Tom Mosmille

Remember Them While They Still are Alive

  I don’t know if Jimmy Carter will live until his 100 th Birthday 12 days from now.    He has been recognized, though probably not “enough” – in this era – of horrible hatred(s), so different from his kindness. -In August, 1973, in response to my good friend Kenny   I said the stupidest thing I’ve ever said: “Why would I want to go to see Duke Ellington perform?” Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) - -George Hrbek:   6/27/31 - 2/19/23 I “met” George June 27, 2022 at his birthday party on Zoom and knew the “right thing to do”.     You can learn a little about this incredible man – at: https://www.georgemarx.org/2023/02/george-hrbek-amazing-man-i-was-lucky-to.html November 12, 2022 – Scott and I presented a panel, including George which you can view at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxMm4R5Rs8 . -Noam Chomsky has had a major stroke which keeps him from responding to the Genocide in Gaza currently.    His 96 th birthday wi

Twin Poisons

Then again, Maybe, Just Maybe The Books are The Poison Is the Poison in my Head Clearly, at some Times -         A Deep Poison Polluting Me Deeply When When – My Head Holds me Prisoner!

Well, no April 22, 2024 The death of my (only) brother Though technically – a Blood Infection in An Amazing, Amazing Hospital “won” – the battle(s) of those Moments Dropping Slowly – As a Clear Poison The Meds – Pumped into His Tired Body Slowed, but couldn’t stop Him, I saw a Deep Beauty Never Knowing – if He’d known I’d Been with him That Final Day as Well as when I’d been with him – his eyes Closed Machines – Manipulating his body (not only that last day, but also

Grieving .... ?

I grieve the loss of human life I, alone, was with my brother when he died in April I didn’t know …. I don’t know you It is tragic That this Jewish-American young man died He may be Special to You Is he Family – Family? Or, is he “Family” Because he was a Jew You Could Have known --- Jerusalem  — A journalist for Al Jazeera was shot and killed while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank town of Jenin early Wednesday. … Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known Palestinian female reporter for the broadcaster's Arabic language channel, was shot and died soon afterward.  CBS News – updated – May 11, 2022 An American Citizen But The Denials – as to Who Shot Her Later Confirmed The Lies – blaming “her people” For Her Murder I grieve her!

Genocide = Genocide +

  Genocide = Genocide + Israel’s Government’s bombing and “war” in Gaza is Genocide.    Directly killing over 40,000 people, 98+% - who are civilians is Genocide.   Starving People to death is Genocide.     Bombing Hospitals is Genocide.      Much more of what is going on is Genocide!     The increasing killing of Palestinian People in the West Bank is Genocide. Those who say: “Yes, but Hamas is …. “- such as:   “murderous” or “oppressive” – or whatever – I would respond, well to respond that the continuing killings of Black People by police officers in the U.S.– because of the fears that they often have is answered by: “Yes, but Black teenagers kill other Black People …” – to which I would say – “we clearly have nothing to talk about, because you either refuse to see or are unable to see The Genocide – the Discriminatory Killing – The Systematic Oppression! The United States Government – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris – through the continuing giving and selling armaments that are

Y WOULD U SUPPORT DT?

Image
  Y Wood U – Support DT? DT – The Republican candidate for President clearly appeals to many people – who say that they will vote for him.    This seems to be a mystery to many! + OTHER PEOPLE – see no reason to vote for Kamala Harris – or for many to vote for any Presidential Candidate in 2024 - I will try to address these issues below, though Ole George – don’t see it all! FIRST ARE THE SIMPLE ONES – for many people DT is clearly: 1.     Racist – says clearly racist things 2.     Sexist – says clearly sexist things 3.     Islamaphobic – says extremely negative things about people of the Muslim faith 4.     Selective – Alien/Foreigner – phobic – sometimes – often now – Mexican People –   (+ other) People who are coming into the U.S. via land from Mexico + supposedly/seemingly people from Haiti, Venezuela etc. These things appeal to many people!    They will often overlook “major flaws” – related in part to their fears – their trauma(s) – and their hatred – in vario
