Frederick Douglass
We are blessed to have some stellar leaders, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Chief Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Dr. Martin Luther King - now Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
We need stellar leaders to make a difference, change the course of history, stop divisiveness from spreading like cancer in our nation - the United States of America.
It was a shame to witness some Senator steeped with hate try to challenge Judge Ketanji Browns Jackson - just because of her skin color.
When it came to answering the dumb questions challenging her point of view - each and every time - she explained the situation at hand - brilliantly.
We all learned there are dumb Senators - who are not fit to represent - and more who spread Racism - just because in our system - we permit them to do so.
There is freedom, and there is license - abuse of freedom is license.
Some Republican Senators will never get it - stop using your privilege and less - stop dividing the nation.
You Senators - are no longer on a Slave Plantation - the privilege you once exercised - has been neutralized.
When it comes to an understanding the pertinent and salient issues facing our nation - Racism leading the way - you, a few morons in the Senate - stall progress - better get out of the way.
Frederick Douglass was self-taught - he experienced the life of slavery.
Frederick Douglass freed himself. This singular act was a blessing to all mankind.
Frederick Douglass - relished being free - he freed themselves by thinking outside the box.
When it came to debates, Frederick Douglass was the best.
When Frederick Douglass addressed the many who gathered to hear him - he spoke about solutions.
He uplifted the masses - using words that were on point - he positively saw things - he was intelligent.
Frederick Douglass fought to get rid of slavery.
Worked - with White women to foster the Suffrage Movement.
Frederick Douglass worked with Harriet Tubman and others to free enslaved people.
Today - many Blacks have no clue about his history - and in failing to honor Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman - Blacks do injustice to humanity.
Frederick Douglass convinced President Abraham Lincoln - to free the enslaved people - who could then help President Abraham Lincoln - join and win the Civil War.
In abolishing slavery - the role of Frederick Douglass is paramount - Frederick Douglass did not rest on his laurels - he worked hard - and all this and more is recorded - for all of us who care to better ourselves.
This land we call America - better known as Turtle Island - is an area of 2,717,812.8 square miles - each and every square inch stolen - from the indigenous people of this land - we live in.
Our population of 350 million - and most Americans - have no clue the land was stolen - by greedy, materialistic maniacs.
They killed the Buffalo not so much for the meat but for the fur. Leaving heaps of Buffalo to rot - the stench covering miles from the heap of dead Buffalos.
The clear cut the old-growth redwood forest - each tree fetching them thousands of dollars. The strangers polluted the lakes, rivers, streams, and watersheds - large lakes under the Earth - it is always about greed and more greed.
They raped the women, killed children, killed the elders - burned the abode of the indigenous people - committed atrocities too many to name - did more and still think nothing of apologizing - typical of those who have no manners - etiquette.
Today the indigenous live on so-called Reservations. Removed from fertile land and made to live on the ground - that is hard to work on.
In some cases, the land has precious resources - when this is the case - the greedy come to remove the resources - be it gold, silver, radioactive material - promising the indigenous help - and giving them more - problems.
Today Climate Change is a mantra - too much talk and no walk. Who is behind stealing resources from the Earth - you guessed - the materialistic.
Who will suffer most from the Russia-Ukraine war - the poor from the Middle East, Africa, other nations - both Russia and Ukraine harvest millions of tons of wheat - more Ukraine.
Nothing much has changed worldwide - just find out who started World War I, World War II, and now the mess in Ukraine - who is really behind - who is selling war weapons and raking in billions?
Chief Sitting Bull united the Lakota nation. We in the United States must remember those tribes that are Federally Recognized - are sovereign nations.
We fail to understand that many Tribes who have lived here on Turtle Island for over 23,000 years - tribal artifacts and human remains carbon-dated - prove beyond reproach the landowners.
Paradoxically - the indigenous call this Earth - Mother Earth.
The indigenous do not live on this Earth to own it - but more to take care of it.
The indigenous people do not build walls - they roam freely - as caretakers call the Earth - Mother Earth.
The strangers are greedy - they own land not to take care of it - but to profit from it.
Land that is not theirs - the strangers killed, maimed, raped, adversely impacted the indigenous, and treated the indigenous people - as second-class citizens.
The Supreme Court has failed the indigenous tribes miserably - corporations are people too.
It is time to address the Tribes and Federally Recognize all Tribes - the yare the First People - they own this land - and they have been cared takers - for over 23,000 years.
Read more about the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and the injustice done by the United States of America more the United States Department of the Interior:

Here in San Francisco - the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe - exercised its Right of First Refusal in 1991. The Muwekma Ohlone was Federally Recognized then illegally removed from the Federal Register - by a Bureau of Indian Agency - L.A. Dorrington.
Recently DNA technology was used to gather precious data - testing current members of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and linking it to remains found - remain inspected under the National Graves Protection and Rehabilitation Act (NGPRA).

The Supreme Court could do better than kick the can down the Street. Debbie Haaland, the Secretary of the Interior - could fight harder - for the Muwekma and other Tribes - fighting for their rights - spending millions of dollars - and left high and dry.
The Supreme Court must be fair to the indigenous people. There is only so much fighting one can do in the White man's court - legalese that says one thing and means another.
Freedom Fighter and a woman that laid her life to save others.
Harriet Tubman suffered a lot - she was beaten and left to die.
She freed herself and fled to the west - while most would prefer to remain in a safe place.
Harriet Tubman worked with others - including Federick Douglass - who shared her love to free people - we know this as the underground rail.
Today we all witness the shame of those with privilege - which will target those who are more intelligent than them, have character - who dare challenge a judge - the caliber of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
At this time, we must call on Harriet Tubman - study and honor her actions - she led the way - so that today we can have a Supreme Court Judge - a black woman- Supreme Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
We know when Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson - shines - justice will be held high - now there is darkness - we need the light to shine to spread light - and get rid of abject darkness.
Why is it taking so long to address the 14th and 15th Amendments?
Why are some racists putting so many hurdles to hold up high - Voting Rights?
We remember John Lewis, the Civil Rights leader - why are we not honoring his life?
Why are these few racists - still carrying on discrimination - using their white privilege - to bring about abject - divisiveness?
Harriet Tubman is watching these rascals - they fear her - the bells will ring - millions will come out and rejoice.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson - has stood her ground - those racists who showed their true colors - will be shamed - Truth will prevail.
