Good Evening.
From Philadelphia....
To say the Last Few Days have been eventful, exciting, and dangerous to My Life, is not an exaggeration.
The Daily Bus-Rides to and from work have reached a TWO-HOUR TIME LIMIT.
And has passengers who are Essential-Workers pissed off and frustrated.
Alongside any and all Black-Philadelphians who need to use Public Transit for doctor's visits, grocery shopping, and to pick-up medications, as well as tend to Black-Philadelphians who have fallen ill and unable to tend to themselves.
As Usual.
Black-Americans are exposed to be FAR MORE HARD WORKING THAN WE ARE EVER GIVEN CREDIT FOR BY THE WHITE-AMERICAN MASS-MEDIA AND THE SLAVES AND TRAITORS AMONG US.
While ALSO BEING DISPROPORTIONATELY NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY WHATEVER THE ISSUE/S OF THE DAY ARE.
Due to Fools trying to keep Us more worried about INTEGRATION than ENSURING OUR OWN INTERNAL-STABILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE AUTONOMOUS-POWER TO TAKE CARE OF AND PROVIDE FOR OURSELVES AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT US.
Friday, quite frankly.
I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF SHOT UP on the bus-ride in, HOWEVER.
I was NOT going to allow a FRUSTRATED Blackman who'd reached his limits of having to STAND OUTSIDE AND WAIT FOR TWO-HOURS FOR A BUS.
To TALK CRAZY TO A BLACKWOMAN WHO SIMPLY REMINDED HIM OF THE RULES FOR RIDING SEPTA.
In the End?
I was able to VERBALLY GET THIS FRUSTRATED BLACKMAN TO EXIT THE BUS.
But no one aboard didn't understand that COWARDICE is something THAT HAS BEEN PUSHED ON US FOR CENTURIES WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING ORDER AMONG OURSELVES.
Either way?
We made it to Our Destinations.
But as conversation broke out about what had transpired I constantly HAD TO CORRECT MY OWN PEOPLE that ACCEPTING DISORDER IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY AND CRISIS.
That IS WHEN DISCIPLINE IS MOST NEEDED ALONG WITH SELF-CONTROL, UNDERSTANDING, AND COMPASSION.
It didn't take long before people were asking Me WHY WAS I RIDING THE BUS. And WHY WAS I NOT IN SOME FORM OF GOVERNANCE OR SOMETHING.
I ignored those questions and focused on REMINDING THEM that if THEY ARE UPSET WITH SEPTA?
As THEY SHOULD BE.
ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE DO NOT OWN SEPTA AND WORK TOWARDS GETTING YOUR OWN CAR AND/OR STARTING CARPOOLS TO WORK.
What was INTERESTING?
Was that the lone Latino on the Bus?
BECAME VISIBLY NERVOUS AS I PUSHED FOR ALL OF THE BLACK-PEOPLE ON THAT BUS TO STOP LETTING REALITY GET STRIPPED AWAY FROM THEM.
The REALITY IS?
You either ACCEPT THAT YOU RIDE SEPTA AND THEN DEAL WITH THAT REALITY.
Which means LETTERS OF COMPLAINTS TO SEPTA.
PUBLIC PROTESTS AND WORKING WITH THOSE YOU KNOW TO POOL RESOURCES AND CREATE A MEANS TO REPLACE.
SEPTA.
For example?
Creating a carpool-system where EVERYONE CHIPS IN.
An ECONOLINE-VAN IS BOUGHT.
Someone IS ELECTED-SELECTED TO DRIVE AND KEEP THE VAN.
And ALL OTHERS PAY INTO KEEPING THAT PERSON EMPLOYED SO THEY CAN DRIVE THE VAN THAT TAKES ALL THE OTHERS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE WHITE-OWNED DAYJOBS.
The Shock?
On their faces?
Was both disturbing and encouraging.
And it was ALSO A REMINDER OF WHY WHITES AND THEIR COHORTS WORK TRIPLE-OVERTIME TO CONTROL WHO CAN GET ONTO THEIR AIRWAVES AND WHAT THEY SAY.
Add to this that I had to KEEP MY COMPOSURE with this Frustrated-Blackman, while going to a Dayjob THAT STILL OWES ME 60-HOURS OF TIME-N-HALF.
Where one of the Dayjob coworkers, told Me "You are...? Fuck that man. I wouldn't been able to handle all that. Stuck outside waitin for 2-hours. Paycheck is wrong, AGAIN. Then this guy refusing to get off the Bus and hollerin and screamin and about to put the Bus outta service if he doesn't get off the Bus. I woulda snapped."
And I told him "This is why they say Leaders are BORN and NOT MADE."
I then reminded Him that the Reality was this Blackman was frustrated. He made it clear he was trying to get to work and not something stupid. I can only imagine what his dayjob is like and how he is treated there, never mind whatever his life is.
If I cannot have empathy for other Black-People then what is the point of being alive.
At the same token I still must MAINTAIN ORDER AND ENFORCE ORDER.
Black-People who have never had power nor experienced it and THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES FROM IT AND LEADING OTHERS.
Would not and do not have the proper perspective of how to walk that Line of keeping Order and Stability while not being a pussy and a push-over to those who follow them and those they have power over.
For the Record I entitled this post the way that I did because the last few months and recent events ALL SPRING FROM THE CHINAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
If this pandemic had not taken place I never would have even encountered this Frustrated Blackman in the first place. I also wouldn't be in the hole 60-hours of Time-n-Half BECAUSE IT NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
So I titled this post TO REMIND ANYONE READING THIS THAT THE EVENTS SPRING FROM THE CHINAVIRUS-PANDEMIC AND THAT I ALONG WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE ELSE MUST HANDLE THEIR BUSINESS UNDERNEATH SAID PANDEMIC.
As per Usual.
Caps are intentional to disturb the Feebleminded, so that they may fuck-off and leave from here since that is more important than what I've typed.
With that all typed.
I just needed to bring You all up to speed and hope that all of you REGARDLESS OF YOUR RACE-N-REGION.
Are safe.
With this done...?
Time for Me to get to work on some WE3 and updating of this Blog.
Prepare Yourselves....
