GOP Mandates Workers Back to the Field...

The Headline reads:

GOP Governors Will Push Workers off Unemployment by Reopening Early

These are wicked people y'all... They are DELIBERATELY choosing to reopen places frequently employing and servicing the Black community. Black people are waking up, realizing that and pushing back and as consumers saying hell no!, we won't go. As workers however, there will be another choice to make. Get back in that cotton field, I mean go back to work, or sacrifice unemployment benefits therefore one's means to survive, one's ability to feed and house themselves and their family during this pandemic.

So if it is not bad enough that we make up a disproportionate number of the "essential workers" risking our lives to save America and/or to keep it going, now we will be forced to the front line yet once again being made to literally choose between living and facing the very real potential of death as we return to work before any testing has been done or procedures put in place to clear the path of doubt or to reassure us or the rest of the American public that the coast is just a little clearer. How sad... STILL we are expected to die for the economy of this country, just as was the case during slavery. Still don't believe that Blacks built this country? Still believe that Blacks are lazy and don't want to work? Still don't believe that some whites think themselves superior and that to them, Black lives really don't matter? You fail to see your country for what it is and what it has always been. The more things change...

Black folks might just have to take care of one another, our collective self. You know, get back to the pre-integration basics of making our own way as we grapple with how to not only get through but to survive this pandemic!!! Let there be some good to come out of this. Please God...

Channel the resilience of our Ancestors, check on one another and Hang in There! We have weathered many a storm, together we can weather this one too... 

Governor By Theft!
