Instead of being the lost soul of a loner drifting aimlessly having a peripatetic wind, I'm now preferring something with more bite to it. As experience is just nature cruel way of giving the exams first followed by their lessons; you eventually reach a point where silence can no longer be contained no matter the cost.

Dylann Roof is not an extremist
https://www.opendemocracy.net/transformation/zoe-samudzi/dylann-roof-is-terrorist-but-he-is-not-extremist: While Dylann Roof’s manifesto was unspeakably racist and admittedly painful to read, white self-identified liberals or progressives should read it. The description of white supremacist racial processes is surprisingly astute (though his understanding unfortunately led him to violence rather than an active challenge of their legitimacy and function). In particular he takes to task white liberals who move to areas to attend better schools. His criticism of “white flight” to suburbia points out that many white liberals are not vastly different from him in their internalization of white supremacy (though their expression differs drastically).
While all non-Black people of color must address anti-Blackness in their own communities, white liberals should very carefully analyze their own politics and the ways in which their white privilege ultimately maintains structures of racial oppression.
There are some very tangible things that white liberal and progressive allies can do to challenge white supremacy in the spaces they occupy.They can stop allowing casual racist jokes and comments to go unchallenged. They can share anti-racist narratives from Black people and people of color rather than simply similar comments made by white liberals. They can be mindful of the demands that they as “allies”make from Black people (e.g. demanding support and information, which takes away a person’s time and energy).
But the most crucial thing white people can do is to engage mindfully with people of color in discussions of racism: to recognize the assumptions they carry as a result of socialization are likely steeped in white supremacy to some degree, and to really listen to and trust what people of color tell them about racism. Only through honest discussions about white supremacy and actively taking responsibility for identity-privileging structures can white Americans play their role in upending and ultimately dismantling still existing settler colonial structures.
When comparing between any two guns,
the one most efficiently producing
the desired intention
the given amount of time...
be the better of the two guns.
Can't help but see two Uncle Tom's kissing up to a gay white man not only a pastor but also campaigning to be elected the next GA State House Representative for District 59; a young African-American looking as if a deer caught in the beams of three sets of headlights barrel racing straight for him.
As this young man was only one of six African-Americans rounded up within minutes not far from the crime scene, they obviously were not making much of an effort... not getting caught.
Would hardly even call it an assault with...
a deadly weapon.
So...
the question is whether or not this gun efficiently produced the it's desired intention given the amount of time?
And for whom is this gun benefiting?
Who is the true victim here?

ST. MARK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY JULY 5, 2015: LETTER OF CRIMINAL(?)TRESPASS..?
To: Jon W.
Sent: July 5, 2:27 pm
Hey Jon,
This is "Carrie" again.
Do not know if you attended the "Interactive" class this morning or not, but I would have been there if I hadn't been met by two black officers presenting me a letter from Rev? Dr? Beth on behalf of the congregation as represented by administrative council
that
my presence on property of
St. Mark
(private?property vs. God's?property)
shall constitute a criminal trespass from the time of the delivery of that letter..?
As I was raised Methodist first eighteen years of my life,
is
this really all that much different
than
the less than 25 year old residents
of
the Lost and Found Shelter on the property of St. Mark.
Rev? Dr? Beth on behalf of St. Mark
has just now justified the very same reasoning behind these kids?kicked out of their homes in the first place.
I've already told Beth this,
but
maybe it would help to say the same thing a different way:
"She's nothing but a Catholic
Fag Hag being paid a Methodist Administer;
and the bigger the lie needing protected the bigger the income one "Abel" earning."
To: Jon W.
Sent: July 5, 2:39 pm
See!
It appears I'm "Abel" looping God into a circle and hanging him around our necks like an albatross.
Just did it not only with the whole of St. Mark but all Methodists everywhere!
"Sounds like you are preaching to me. I don't listen to people who preach to me."

I'm definitely not liking how it's seeming we are going about expiating for our sins..?

I can't help but find this letter handed to me Sunday morning July 5th , 2015 by two uniformed police officers when showing up for the Adult Interactive Class.
As I was leaving St. Mark United Methodist Church the previous Sunday after the Interactive class over, I said to the very same female officer handing me this letter from the senior pastor of St. Mark:
"LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
If I hear God is 'LOVE' one more time I''m go to scream."
Then I asked this black female officer what she knew about Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech as it relates to Malcolm X's role in our African-Americans gaining their civil rights. She only knew that Malcolm X's espoused violence as the means to gaining their civil rights.
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
~(Mark 9:1 )~
I not only knew way more than she did, asking her what she thinking might have happened after Martin Luther Kings speech had Malcolm X's not been present in Martin Luther King's shadow?
Even told her, jokingly, of going home and coming back with a cool looking water pistol of mine teaching some of these useless faggots along with their Rev. Dr. Beth and Rev. Josh Noblitts a lessons about indifference.

Mark 6:1-13
New International Version
(NIV)
A Prophet Without Honor
6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

Hey Jon,
It's been over a week since we've discussed the possibility of the two of us debating politics/religion as avatars in the role as Carrie (stigmatized?active wise) vs. Pollyanna (love?indifference/passive wise). I'm still wanting to do this, even inviting you and your partner into my home for this debate.
Or just let me know that you have changed your mind? You won't be the first, not even close.
One more favor...
could you pass my phone number on to Tim Anderson and let him know that I had every intention of calling him later that same Sunday we crossed path outside St. Mark but misplaced the card he had given me. Would not have surprised me Don Clarke picking it up and failing to hand it back to me..?
His demeanor toward me certainly changed when apparent me and Tim were acquaintance.
LOL
