Young black woman convinced Merriam-Webster to revise the definition of “racism”

June 10, 2020 By Egberto Willies

Kennedy Mitchum’s persistence and diligence paid off. Until we start defining terms accurately, too many use the dictionary as a weapon. Merriam-Webster Revises ‘Racism’ Entry After Missouri Woman Asks for Changes – The New York Times Merriam-Webster is revising its entry on racism after a recent college graduate in Missouri, inspired by the protests and […]

Is Mitt Romney preparing for a Trump implosion? 

June 8, 2020 By Egberto Willies

Why is Mitt Romney marching in Washington DC and chant the GOP’s forbidden phrase, ‘Black Lives Matter?’ I think the answer is clear. Romney either expects Trump to implode in which case he will likely be chosen by the Republican Party to run against Biden. Remember his niece is RNC chair. This stunt gives him […]

This “Republican” said Trump must be defeated and his Republican sycophants must be routed.

June 6, 2020 By Egberto Willies

“Republican” George Will pulled no punches. He expressed it in a manner he is known for. Check out why he is urging Republicans to get rid of their politicians. It is clear he wants a rebirth of the Republican Party. He is absolutely correct. The brand of Republican leadership we have now accomplished nothing and […]

Billionaires $79 Billion richer in a week. Opening economy prematurely only benefits some.

June 5, 2020 By Egberto Willies

The scare of unemployment hitting 20% has not yet happened. Instead, it dropped a bit to 13%+. Why? Americans forced to go back to work before cogently addressing the pandemic. Trump and the GOP’s plan was perfect. Give some crumbs to Americans to hold them over during their deer-in-the-light moment. Of course, the stimulus gave […]

Germany’s Angela Merkel saving her country from depression and Trump & his GOP take us there.

June 4, 2020 By Egberto Willies

Angela Merkel

While Donald Trump is doing absolutely nothing to mitigate unemployment, people losing insurance, people starving, and much more, Angela Merkel is doing her job. Check this out. The German’s new stimulus is using MMT (what I consider a form of Keynesian economics) to ensure her citizens don’t suffer. Trump better wake up. Germany has a […]

Did seeing a knee on a neck reflected from their mirror so embarrassed Americans as to defeat Steve King?

June 3, 2020 By Egberto Willies

Steve King, (R-IW-4) lost his election resoundingly. This proud racist has always come through. Even against the best Democrat, J.D. Scholten,  that could have run against him, he won by three points. I interviewed Democrat J.D. Scholten last year at Netroots Nation just before he made it clear he would run again. I am sure […]

If this isn’t murder-by-police then I really don’t know what is.

May 26, 2020 By Egberto Willies

If anyone wonders why I have been saying for some time I avoid the police as much as possible, this is classic. These officers know they are being watched but they know in America some lives don’t matter. There are generally no consequences for going just too far. That is why it was so upsetting […]

A white woman attacked a Black girl then apologized with a cookie offer. REALLY!

May 22, 2020 By Egberto Willies

These stories are either getting worse or they are getting more coverage. But it says much about the humanity of a person who judges a kid simply by their hue and their own prejudices.

Georgia FedEx customer allegedly threatens to ‘whoop’ workers’ ‘black asses,’ but workers are fired

May 22, 2020 By Egberto Willies

It just never ends. At least the outcry embarrassed FEDEX into some sort of action. The problem is society has not made these types of people embarrassed by their actions. And that makes society complicit. Georgia FedEx customer allegedly threatens to ‘whoop’ workers’ ‘black asses,’ but workers are fired A FedEx driver and his co-worker […]
