MATTHEW COOKE
I get why Mr. Cooke took some major dips of enunciation into the Republican Party. I so get it! I also get that Matthew Cooke could apply some of the exact same expressions to the Democratic Party concerning his message that he articulated about the Republican Party. If you allow me to take some huge sips on how the founding fathers loved "free stuff" as Mr. Matthew Cooke so eloquently stated, Europeans such as Democrats and Republicans have reaped the benefits of free labor (free stuff). The residue of that privilege is an indelible stain in every policy and institution the founding fathers gave birth to. I concur with Mr. Cooke, our United States constitution unquestionably needs a rewrite. Can you please tell me why the 8th amendment is hardly ever applied in court? It states no excessive bails. That means if people cannot afford to pay for it, it is excessive. No one holds the courts and lawyers accountable. The Supreme Court does not. They are silent! Congress hasn't, the Black Caucus hasn't, nor has any of the presidents. Why? There are men and women who could be home but because they can't pay a bail which seems a lot like those old slave laws, they are kept in jail for years. Some folks may question if Mattew Cooke is willing to relinquish his priviledge in order for the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to fluidly flow in the lives of black and brown individuals. What Mr. Cooke has stated sounds good! I applaud him for his courage to say what he said. It was very necessary for some of the things he stated, be divulgated to the world!
"You keep saying that we want free stuff and that the government can't do any-thing right, so you need an education: the microchip, internet, space travel, gps and touch screen. Those are a few examples of world changing technology that was created by our government or required massive financial support from our government. Now I paid for that with a 1/3 of my money in the form of taxes but I didn't get a return because all of our technology was just given away to private industries. Then it was sold back to us, except someone else could profit. Now that's what free stuff looks like. Am I supposed to pay money to breathe or have access to water? Or community? Or civilization? Or is that my natural right, being born on the planet, because that's what economic rights mean. It means I have a right to participate in the economy without having to be born in the Trump family or some other social predator's bloodline. Now I'm going to teach you another word, democracy."
"Wanna be mobsters, they love saying the government is bad at everything. When the government is ruled by the people it's called our voice. So it's not bad, and you're not going to silence our voice. Whether it's the oil industry, or the criminal justice, or the international monetary fund or facebook, or congress, or the presidency. If any organization becomes oppressive and unaccountable, that's tyranny and then when we make them accountable, that's democracy.
The republican leadership today, they're against democracy and they're not
even trying to hide it. They're only in power because of an undemocratic electoral college, created by slaveholders. They're only in power right now because we have an undemocratic institution called the Senate that gives a single resident of Wyoming as much voting power as 68 people in California because every state gets 2 Senators. It doesn't matter how many people live in them and republicans love that. They love how millions more Americans vote for democrats but they don't get the representation. They love free stuff! Just
like the founding fathers."
"Well, guess what? Slavery is over. States are not people. Corporations are not people. Concentrated power and wealth and a master race and master culture. None of that is democracy. And your sacred constitution is long overdue for a REWRITE. As holy of a document as you've been thinking it is conditionally of course, because even the empire-hungry colonist would have been disgusted by your handling over everything! Sir Yes Sir to the Lords and Ladies of the big box stores, oil and money that republicans are worshipping today. The American Dream made us famous all over the world. We gave people hope, but the republicans love it so much more now that people have the worse chance of making it here then any other rich nation. They prepare the class system. The caste system. Extreme inequality and poverty, because keeping other people down: the communist, the mexican, the scary pronoun, whatever word they want to give them. It makes them feel superior like the old days. Scared and demonizing, whatever's out in the woods, outside of the colony. It doesn't matter that their lives aren't much better. They're living through the achievements of their Gods. Icons of money, power, cruelty and dripping arrogance."
"That's why they love a fabric flag more than the human flesh and blood, that live and die under it, because they're idol worshippers. And that is exactly what Jesus, and Muhummad and Moses told you not to do. How dare you invoke the name of the almighty and his messengers against the weak, the meek and the poor. The prophets lead movements of the persecuted before they were over-taken by the persecutors who allied themselves with totalitarians like your're doing now!"
"With modern day Saudi Arabia and Israel under Netanyahu and this radical Christian cult, all for a dirty oil empire that is soaked in the blood of men, wo- men and children. And all the creatures of the earth. Now republican leaders say they love freedom. They love the freedom of unchecked domination and their followers. They love the freedom to live out some paranoid revenge fantasy of needing a firearm, in case their superiority gets challenged in a Walmart, or on some street in Portland. If you're wondering what set me off, I just saw how the right wing PR machine is uplifting war criminal soldiers that the navy con-
demned and their dear leader pardoned. And I guess some people on the right want these savages to campaign with their masters as heroes, and they think a navy seal calling out war crimes is some how political correctness. Well my grandfather would disagree with you. This Republican goon squad worships the government. When it gives them illegitimate authority over the people. Then they march in lock-step, drunk with their abuse of power, oh no. You can't have our democracy. You can't make it a great republic for slaveholders and wage slavery, not again, not now, not ever. We beat you and your masters in the civil war. We beat you on the beaches of normandy. We beat you in Birmingham and we're going to beat you again."
"Because the truth wins. And you can stand by while all our communications networks get drowned with some Russian psychological warefare. You can redraw all our maps with a sharpie. You can keep suppressing voting rights of our black and brown and first nation brothers and sisters. Go ahead, keep using the old slave laws to false-multiply your votes. Keep tricking all your scared, angry ignorant old white people into supplication before your orange golden calf to beat you, we're going to replace you, and change the culture. If not this election, then out in the streets. Because you cannot have this land. You cannot have this country. It was never yours in the first place. " - Matthew Cooke

James Hodge is definitely invited to the block party. He certainly empathizes with the plight of black folks and what they have to endure in criminal justice. In his 2 minute video James is letting the world know he condemns the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. The black community depicts Ahmaud's death as a mordern day lynching. Disturbingly, black folks can't go to college, have a barbeque, can't sell real estate and now can't go jogging without someone attacking them or killing them. James Hodge is also letting white America know that it's time for them to step up and hold the white community accountable. "Why do you need all those guns son?" Aren't you, or wouldn't you be curious as to why your man or son has a multitude of guns? Ahmaud was jogging in a predominantly white neighborhood when he was shot and killed. James has verbalized things black folks crave to say publicly and do say it. It's just sweeter when a white man can see what we've been experiencing for years. Since he is white it may be easier to swallow. I totally get it. If you see black people walking or jogging in your neighborhood, say nothing or say hello. If they look different from you and you are not used to that, take a big dip in saying nothing. Everything will be okay. Take a sip in minding your own business.That's it!
This is a black man by the name of Idris Elba. He is a British actor. He once tested positive for the corona virus. I get how we as a society want to be safe. We want all of our friends and family to be safe as well. We don't know all the facts. We just know the details they tell us and that can be questionable. Most of us are doing the prerequesites to ensure we are all safe. Social distancing is such a challenge when you are used to being around those you love all the time. There has been ongoing information articulating that black people have the highest cases of the corona virus and are dying faster from it. With that being said, I've noticed when I go for a morning walk sometimes, wypipo will move all the way to the end of the earth to avoid any contact with me. They are in fear of their lives in the presence of black folks. I so get! If the media is telling you these people have huge dips of some germ or virus, you wouldn't want to be near them. There is a right way to do anything. I was walking down the street the other day. I noticed a lovely white couple walking together. They had their mask near them but didn't have them on their faces. I was more than 6 feet away when I encountered them. When they saw me they put their mask on and walked all the way across to the other side of the street. I felt some kind of way but I so get it. I think it is kind of rude the way some of them act towards black people. For all I know, they could have the virus and I need to protect myself from them.
