Reflections From a Murky Pond

You can’t easily go online without reading or hearing America’s racism and how America and, hence, Americans are racist, racist, Racist, RACIST. Hellfire! we’ve Rep. “Mad” Maxine Waters hooting, hollering, and jabbering away that. “Every day, we have seen this nation get more racist than anybody thought perhaps [it] would be at this point in time,” in response to Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) unequivocal statement that America was not a racist country.

But, is this even remotely true? The answer is a bit complex and convoluted in detail. Or, so it seems to me.

Why Racism Exists Today

Prima facie, the 5-panel cartoon above seems to state the reason why racism is considered to be rampant in America by so many. The Lamestream Media’s repeated failure to provide any data in “racial incidents” beyond an American did something to a Black is the proximate cause for many people buying into the idea that Americans are racist. However, that’s just the tip of a very large and very disgusting iceberg.

Yes, the media normally refuses to provide a context in White v. Black interactions in order to fuel racial anger and bring about more and – they hope – greater conflicts. That’s been part and parcel of their job since the mid-to-late 1960s when they started having to actually “earn their keep.” That, however, is only part – and probably a small part – of why they don’t explain the situation. Providing such context would anger what readers/viewers they have and bring, bring out the ravening #CancelCulture trolls, and spark a civil war within their own companies.

But, the horrific thing is that any context or explanation for any action taken by an American against a Black isn’t newsworthy and cannot be so in the minds of the sorts still devoted to the Lamestream Media. To the Blacks and their “White” enablers, the is never a valid reason for an American to take any action against a Black ever.

And that is a large part of why racism exists today. It’s a revealed truth and article of faith among Americans’ domestic enemies. As such, it will always be found by them and any argument otherwise will be considered by their sort as the worst sort of heresy.

I <3 Early Adopters – Bold Is Beautiful, If A Bit Chilly

Despite it going on mid-May and being deep into Spring, the weather this year has been erratic – hot, cold, wet, dry, all in the same day many times. But God(s) bless the women who are early adopters of summer clothing. 😉 Bold is, after all, both beautiful and provocative.

Some Beautiful Consolation Prizes

Scifi/Fantasy conventions are, if not the most, then one of the most hard-hit of “industries” by the pandemic has been conventions. They essentially went out of existence in 2020 and many of them will take years to recover … if they recover and resume at all.

So, to add to the effects of the Concellation 2021 FB group – a group as ragtag, chaotic, and eclectic as any Con, Gods bless them – here’s a grouping of cosplay babes for our mutual enjoyment.

Shoulder Cosmology Of The Religious Sort
(Click to Enlarge)

Cosmology in the religious as opposed to the secular, anti-theist context, is the explanation of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe, from a more natural, religious perspective. It is also largely irrelevant to us mortals. Our personal cosmology is what we should be concerned about, not Creation’s.

So, rather than considering Heaven’s plan for creation, consider the state of your own soul and the angel and devil on your shoulders.

Of course, if you’re at all like me, you’re more likely considering how to get either your angel or your devil on both your shoulders. 😉

Sadly and maddeningly, that is the actual meaning and effect of the COVID-19 panicdemic: Control – Oppress – Victimize – Isolate – Divide. And, the Lamestream Media and the Democrat politicians have been quite successful in it so far. Not, mind you, that our Republican politicians could or did do much to stop this since the majority of them focused on treating other symptoms, e.g., the economic collapse being engineered by the Dems.

Of course, much like the coronavirus, the severity of the damage America suffered was exacerbated by our previous conditions caused by Obama and, later, the Dems’ TURDS.

And, again like the coronavirus, America is going to be a “long hauler.” The Dems, who are current in and abusing power, and their media will ensure that.
