Hey Fam,
Due to the times in which we find ourselves living, you will hear us discuss politics much more than usual. So, we have a question.
Is the current administration racist? We find that we cannot get a clear answer regarding the anti-Semitic ramblings going on. We do not hear condemnation regarding race related shootings that were committed by a white, Christian Trump supporter. Without a definitive statement from this administration, American citizens are left to come to our own conclusions based upon their actions.
This President throws out stereotypes like a Hall of Fame pitcher throws strikes. They just keep coming.
I watched a video of a presentation given by Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary called, “Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome.” I ask that you don’t get turned off and tune out, because if you want to know how hatred is justified – then watch the video.
As marginalized people, the LGBTQ community needs to be open to understanding the history of those others who experience some sort of marginalization as well. Just as slave masters used whips, religious folks use the bible. This is not a surprise to those who have experienced scriptures being used to defend hatred.
The A-Train to hell has gained a couple of new passengers. M.T. escorted Ms. Joy Villa to her seat and Spiritual Studd did the same for Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
Finally, my LGBTQ family, let us no longer look outside for the courage and assurance to be who we are. Let us realize that the power we seek is within and has always been there.
Thank for listening. Love and Light. SS & MT
