A few weeks ago, someone I did not know emailed me regarding comments I'd made about her good friend, Omarosa. She thought my comments were negative and that, as a Black woman, I should not make negative comments about another Black woman, especially given my BW platform.
I applauded her on being a good friend to Omarosa and tried to leave it at that. Quite honestly, if one is going to defend Omarosa against things that people say about her, they are going to be quite busy. She was not a popular person in the Black community during her time with trump. That has not changed since her departure from the administration.
That being said, and in light of Congress, passing that god awful bill yesterday just in time for Independence Day, which is today, it leaves me to remember her telling us that we would all "bow down to donald". Did she know something that we didn't know and is that what is about to happen here in the United States now that the legislators and the courts have conceded their authority to the executive branch?
It is one thing to betray your constituents, it is quite another to render yourself and your role irrelevant. The epitome of stupidity... 🤦🏾
We know that this administration has a penchant for dramatics the likes of reality TV sensation. How will that play out today on Independence Day?
Will there be some declaration that we are no longer a nation of personal freedoms, that we have lost our rights as an independent, free thinking nation? Will Omarosa be proven right in that we will bow down and kiss the ring of the don? I remember during his first trip around the white house, him saying that he wanted "his people" to respond to him like the citizens respond to the leader in North Korea. In other words, he wants us to fear him. 👀 👀
So what will happen today? Who knows? 🤷🏾 We are navigating unchartered terrain, totally unfamiliar and unprecedented. These are unpredictable times in which we find ourselves. Hold on folks for what promises to be a rocky ride. Who will save us? We will save us. Nobody can do it better than ourselves. But what does that look like? Good question. The answer, however, is yet to be determined. God help us... 🙏🏾
What is it that our dear and revered Ancestor Frederick Douglas questioned about the 4th of July? What to the Slave is the 4th of July? The question still remains. For today, in the words of our current Griot, Kendrick Lamar, "turn the TV off, turn the TV off", and enjoy your time with friends and family.
