Even Death Is Politicized By William Thorpe

Is a death under a Socialist political-economy with a Communist Party anymore a death than that under a Capitalist and Statist political-economy?

Human beings are dying senselessly, unjustly, unreasonably regardless of political-economy and political structure.

Is the death of the Cuban due to economic embargo by the United States anymore a death than that of a Black American born in the racist states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

How about this: Egyptians are murdered, killed so Europeans living in Israel can sunbathe and contract Melanoma which is all based on their religious claims. While religious claims of Native Americans who have been largely exterminated are ignored.

The drowned and bloated bodies of black men, women and children fill the Mediterranean in their separation to escape the slavery and colonialism continuum the European lands they are escaping to wrought on them.

When Racism Is A Dismissive Of A List Of Dead, Killed By Police Black People By William Thorpe

Rich Bellis a well-fed shiny-faced Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal gave us this critique in an essay, "Surviving Documents" in the June 2021 issue of the Sun Magazine.

"After police vehicles were burned and demonstrators were maced and the dumpling shop was boarded up and a mural with a fist and a list of names was painted over the boards   "

Am I surprised that a worker at the Wall Street Journal, a beneficiary of another bigots observation, Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that

"All experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed"

Because if it isn't the tolerance, suffering the bigotry of the Wall Street Journal that enables Rich Bellie to dismissively reduce the justice sought for black people murdered by police to a list of names     What possessed him?

The Mom and Pops Local Store and the Prison Librarian by William Thorpe

The argument that we owe some sort of allegiance to the mom and pops local store which is being destroyed by Amazon's voracity is like the prison librarian who never cared about prisoners, who even hated them, but as soon as she got wind that due to downsizing her position was on the chopping block, about to be axed.

So we see her on the local news being a proponent of the reformative impact books are in prison     A advocacy she once upon a time mocked as coddling prisoners.

Likewise the mom and pops local store that never cared about its inner-city customers as a matter of fact had disdain for the inner city and consistently voted for republican politicians who exploited the mom and pops local store owners' disdain for the inner city only to make it easy for the Amazon invader to crush the mom and pops local store      And it's to the inner city customer they cry "we have value"

Crocodile Tears and Selective Sympathies by William Thorpe

We cry for the Ukrainian women and child escaping conflict. While we dry our eyes ignoring the African, Latin American, non-white woman and child also escaping even more heinous terror and conflict.

I heard of a church in Lexington, Kentucky claiming fellowship with Ukrainians while I don't recall that same church shedding a tear or lighting a candle for the Yemeni woman and her child      Hell I don't recall that same church calling biblical wrath on the police murders of  Breonaa Taylor, which happened in their own back yard.

Our selective sympathies ignore the Palestinian woman and her child, the Congolese woman and her child, the South Sudan woman and her child, the Venezuelan woman and her child, the Cuban woman and her child, the Iranian woman and her child, the Syrian woman and her child, the North Korean woman and her child, the Mozambique woman and her child the Somali woman and her child, the Black American woman and her child, the rural and poor White American and her child. 

Who and what is the Ukrainian woman and child that brings forth and induces crocodile tears and elective sympathies?
