\u00a0US President Joe Biden has described Russian President Valdimir Putin as a \u201cwar criminal\u201d after Russia invaded Ukraine and launched missiles, air strikes and cluster bombs into civilian areas that killed more women, children and babies than Ukrainian soldiers.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Russian military tactics are nothing new. Tactics used in Ukraine were used in Syria, Afghanistan and other places to divide, decimate and destroy.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In America, if you have the right skin color, you can get away with killings too.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How many more unarmed Black, Hispanic and other people of color will be executed by racist law enforcers after being pulled over for minor, and alleged, traffic violations before politicians label biased cops as \u201ccriminals\u201d?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t hold your breath. It\u2019s better to hold your nose because disparate treatment of whites and non-whites in America\u2019s judicial system stinks!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When will the Donald Trump supporters that tried to overturn election results, and kill \u201cdemocracy\u201d at the same time, be charged, arrested, prosecuted and jailed?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republicans in GOP controlled legislatures across the country are pretending to protect voting irregularities by suppressing Black, Hispanic and minority votes.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Courtroom judges seem to agree with me and continue to charge more Republicans in America with voter irregularities, voter misconduct and vote crimes like registering in multiple states, harvesting, changing, or destroying absentee ballots, and lying about campaign contributions and expenses.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s no secret that the majority of insurrectionists that swarmed the United States capitol in a failed effort to overturn the election that was clearly lost by the Russian Babayka, Donald Trump, were law violating Republican voters.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, no more than a few Republicans have been arrested, convicted and given small sentences trying to foil the peaceful transition of power in the United States while also trying to destroy Democracy in America and throughout the world.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As you\u2019re reading this column, one Black woman in America is facing six years in prison for trying to register to vote. Pamela Moses, Crystal Mason and Hervis Rogers all have faced lengthy jail sentences for making honest mistakes about their voting eligibility.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t have problems with criminals being jailed. However, Trump\u2019s former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, reportedly violated election laws by choosing to register to vote in two separate and different states.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Is Meadows free to violate election laws and continue to escape jail time merely because he has pale skin color while Blacks that made voting mistakes are carted off to cell block D?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No! At least, he shouldn\u2019t be. No one should be above the voting laws or any other law!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Until the basic voting rights, equal rights and equal justice are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there will always be conflict and confrontation in American politics and elections.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Who are the real criminals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
