My Dungeon Shook: Letter to My nephew on the one hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation by James Baldwin 1962 #jamesbaldwin
#equality #racism
"They have had to believe for many years, and for innumerable reasons, that black men are inferior to white men. Many of them indeed know better but as you will discover people find it very difficult to act on what they know. To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger. In this case, the danger in the minds of most white Americans is the loss of their identity...Any upheaval in the universe is terrifying because it so profoundly attacks ones sense of ones own reality. Well the black man has functioned in the white mans world as a fixed star as an immovable pillar: and as he moves out of place heaven and earth are shaken to their foundations...those innocent's who believed that your imprisonment made them safe are losing their grasp of reality....we with love shall force our brothers to see themselves as they are, to cease fleeing from reality and begin to change...we can make America what America must become...you know and I know that the country is celebrating one hundred years of freedom one hundred years too soon. We cannot be free until they are free."

Started during 45th presidency. "Candidates in this program will receive the same rigorous consideration in terms of aptitude, medical, and security qualifications." 47's dehumanizing/ demonizing tactics while addressing a tragedy is despicable. #47 #FAA #aviation #trump
