The Message for 2018

Read. Absorb. Repeat.

What's the problem? You seem miffed. You're ready to defend yourself. You’re not trusted, get over it. You have to question yourself, good. Do it. Do it everyday. You feel like you've done nothing wrong, well cut that shit out. To think everything you've said or done to women you have interacted with was welcome, asked for, or respectful is bold. Take off that Knight-in-shining armor, it doesn't come in your size or mine. It never did. 

Wake up men, it's time to be better. It's past time. We're oozing with toxic masculinity and we can't stay silent when other men throw up that toxic shit everywhere. 

Please do not create scenarios in your head with a woman to validate things you say and do. 

Stop looking at feelings and attaching them to only women. 

Lose the phrase:

"You know how women are." 

Lose it forever.

Ingest art from ALL TYPES OF WOMEN. Listen to women in music, read their books, absorb their speeches, and watch them be influential. Respect powerful women, respect normal women, respect all women. 

Understand that every part of their life is measured writ-large by men for no god damn reason other than being male, the same way some of us get jobs we don't deserve.

A lot of you are trying to find the best way to go about courting a woman. You want to just get better at consent. That's short sighted. It's still got an uncomfortable twinge of sexism and misogyny in it. You're only worried about what you get out of women in that thought. Root problem for all of us is this: respect.

Women owe you nothing. 

Women owe you nothing. 

Women owe you nothing.

We have to end this. Women were not made just for relationships, they weren’t made to just procreate. You have an opinion about any woman’s behavior, keep it to yourself, no one wants to deal with you projecting your wimpy insecurities on them. 

You’re walking on the eggshells from the eggs we (men) broke and then finally acknowledge that you have the empty carton in your hand. 

The uncomfortable, uneasy feeling your having, that’s a good thing. You just need a little push, that lands you far away from the outdated, unwanted, should-have-never-been-a-thing thought process you are wrestling with. 

Get rid of the mentality that creates a general psychological profile of one particular woman you’ve seen on some counter culture site that makes you apply that to ALL women. You do not have unfettered access to women, by herself or in groups. Sometimes, women want to be left alone. Fight the urge to open your mouth. 

You feel it’s exhausting to have to try and earn respect, and treat women with decency even though you feel that hey, I did nothing to be seen this way, why can’t I get the benefit of the doubt, why does it feel like there’s nothing I can do to alleviate this cloud of confusion?

#YesAllWomen

You’re going to push a woman to the brink with all the dumb machismo of the douchiest bro. You’ll claim that “you’ve got this” or “trust me.” We exhaust women. 

We hurt them. We try to control them and we don’t acknowledge the stress we put them under with our toxic stubbornness that: “we know better than them.” We claim to logical but when it comes to listening to women, reason is of no consequence.

It’s insulting. 

Men, read this all again. Thank you. 

Kill Chivalry. Just be kind. 

America can’t spell USA

America can’t spell USA

by Matt Bright

America, you are a lot. This is usually the time of year where we are planning our holiday shopping for some reason like Christmas is two days away from Halloween.   

Instead it feels like this entire White House Administration is the steroid shot to racism, white supremacy, and bigotry. Fox News, Alex Jones, and Breitbart giving dosages of ignorance and the constant refill prescription from Ben Shapiro, Tomi Lauren, and Tucker Carlson of cognitive dissonance. 

American citizens of color are having their rights either trampled or overall denied. Charlottesville, Las Vegas, and now New York are all very tragic and received different responses that we all need to ingest and see as the covert racism it is. 

Charlottesville we had to wait for a response to get all the facts, three days for that shit. Finally giving us a “very fine people” or that blame was on both sides. That Nazis and White Supremacists deserve a voice in our democracy and then coining the idiot phrase “alt-left.” 

You waited for the facts on this? The facts led you to the conclusion that violence is wrong. Anyone with a brain knows that. Secondly, this is the same person who wishes for the “good ole days” where they could “knock’em out.” 

How about the police convention where he encouraged officers to not protect their heads when they put them in the squad. You literally said you grab women by their crotch but now after a white supremacist plows into a crowd killing one and injuring multiple others you #AllLivesMatter violence by saying: "it’s all bad." You’d drown in hypocrisy if you weren’t unfortunately the racist uncle that got elected President. 

Las Vegas he was damn near silent with no real solutions. Then New York happens and the whole system has to be up ended, the same day. The Las Vegas shooter was a millionaire old white guy who killed 50 plus and injured 600 more at a country music festival. America, we have finally found something more important than white people.

Guns. 

President called NFL players son’s of bitches. General John Kelly said the Civil War happened because of unwillingness to compromise like that was bad thing. This McPick two of racism with a side of revisionist sauce is just the type of malnutrition Trump supporters eat for lunch, breakfast, and #WhiteLivesMatter rallies.

Black Identity Extremists, a new distinction by the FBI to group together black nationalists and separatists as a movement. The words “Black Identity” together says that it is literally extreme to identify as Black in America. Such a broad generalization puts Black Lives Matter Groups that peacefully protest will be thrown under this dumb umbrella of bullshit by the public. 

A young woman at a college (Stanford University) is defiled, harassed, and downright disrespected by her roommate, and that story in detail is gruesome. The roommate referred to her on Instagram as The Jamaican Barbie. Another student at K-State (Kansas State) University was also a victim of racial intimidation when students vandalized his car with “Go Home Nigger Boy.” (Turns out this student made this up and has since apologized. He'll be held accountable for this, but when white folks do black face, it's all in good fun.)

College campuses these days are the breeding ground for racists and where progressive ideas go to die. After Richard Spencer was clearly caught on video giving Nazi salutes and sieg heiling Donald Trump like the new Führer, campuses are like: Let’s see what else he has to say, let’s here all the viewpoints. We can not view Nazi and white supremacy positions as viable paths to unity and progression. I don’t see anyone in America giving a platform to The Monarch Party of America, or The Neo-Colonialists Party. (Yes that’s dumb, but so is giving a Dick a stage to spout messaging from the 1930’s in 2017.)

His speech is weaponized, it’s not an open discussion about why white supremacy is good or bad. It’s a reinforcement and recruitment tool, especially since these are not paid engagements and the universities don’t even want him on campus. 

In Tennessee there was a #WhiteLivesMatter Rally that ended with a Mob terrorizing and fighting an interracial couple. That rally was racist as shit by the way. 

No one was chanting “Bring Back Friends. Bring back Friends.” Or “Whose bucks? Starbucks!..Who’s Bucks?...Starbucks!” 

It was the same people from Charlottesville just different branding at this “rally.” 

This is like chicken tenders at McDonald’s. Those are still chicken strips McDonald’s! You learned a new word (Buttermilk) and put them in a fancy box, fed it to the public as new and better, but it’s the same shit.

Just. Like. Racism. 

This is just in the last few weeks and there’s more. People still seem to think racism is made up, that we’re just buying into the narrative of mainstream media, which at its core is racist as it gives the notion that black and brown audiences do not know how to identify racism or that they are being outsmarted. 

That black and brown audiences do not have the mental capacity to see that news media is just fueling a race war and wants to divide us, meanwhile the entire White House Administration can’t seem to identify the bad guys in these riots and displays of intimidation but the White Supremacists and Nazis of this nation go unchecked, Get respected media presence, and are giving a seat at the table to hear their grievances with the country that will take it back to the 1800’s, but hey Marcus and Myeshia you’re just playing into the hand of the powers that be. 

Reclaiming my time, this is why we kneel, and I’m voting for everybody black. 

2017 sums up like this: No Hoods required. 

Remember 👏Her👏 Name👏

By Matthew Bright

The mother of two with a third on the way, her name is Myeshia Johnson, widow of Sgt. La David Johnson and receiver of The Presidents cold, soulless condolences. 

As Sgt. La David Johnson fought for a country that doesn’t always love him back, Myeshia Johnson lives in a country that doesn’t even see her. Her pain, grief, and suffering are a backdrop to the President’s disrespectful behavior while under the spotlight his asshole is front and center with his reoccurring supporting role of diet racism and zero calorie sexism. Which keeps winning an Inequality Emmy every single week. 

Images of Myeshia Johnson are everywhere of her fell over her husbands casket with her daughter by her side seemingly unable to process. 

Sgt. Johnson was ambushed during a mission fighting alongside Green Berets.

Three others were killed in that mission: Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright, Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Johnson, and Staff Sergeant Bryan Black. He waited days before acknowledging the loss of all four soldiers. Let’s now add to the ever growing list of “reasons Donald Trump is a White supremacist” he’s added layers of importance to fallen officers and not by rank. 

The President’s response to this attack and loss of life in the line of duty protecting this country is deplorable, and his comments to Myeshia lack tact, compassion, and civility. Some one who claims to love the military and this country very dearly, who understands the price of freedom, and a man who believes a piece of cloth represents this country and what it stands for, should have taken the phone from this Oval Office shit bag and spoke to Myeshia Johnson. 

“That’s what he signed up for” is what Congresswoman Frederica Wilson said she heard Government Cheese say to Myeshia Johnson on speaker phone. 

Conservative media outlets said that their drain-the-swamp and savior was simply speaking the way Military personnel and communities talk to each other. 

That’s how they speak to each other? 

First of all, you dodged the draft. A lot. 

Does anyone else realize that the President believes running the country is a Monday to Friday 9-5 position with weekends off. He went golfing instead of being at the funeral of the fallen soldier, Sgt. La David Johnson. 

He tweets about problems more than dealing with them and He’s viciously going after Black Women who challenge him. 

Jemele Hill, Frederica Wilson, Maxine Waters, and Myeshia Johnson deserve respect. That’s it, that is all that needs to be stated about it. 

No long plights, no breakdowns of thoughtless statements or demeaning comments, and no one is looking for hidden meaning in the crass bullshit coming out of that President’s rotten candy corn mouth about these three women or the rest of those selfish skin sacks he calls an administration. 

Respect Black Women. Believe Black Women.

This isn’t about race some will say (per usual), And I will say...

First of all, he admitted to sexually assaulting women. (“locker room talk”).

First of all, he didn’t remember his name. (Sgt. La David Johnson)

First of all, he humanized white supremacists and Nazis. (“Some good people”)

First of all, he called a group of predominantly black athletes protesting police brutality sons of bitches. (Take a Knee, Colin Kaepernick aka Kaeptain America.)

First of all, he says code words like “The good ole days.” (Campaign Trail)

First of all, Nazis and White Supremacists get off on his bullshit. (So much that they went back to Charlottesville and he said zip about it.) 

So when he says “That’s what he signed up for” to a pregnant black widow of a servicemen. Just like that list, after the second time, it’s not his first offense. 

It’s not just about race, it is ALSO about race. His ignorance and hatred is intersectional when it comes to minorities and women. 

He seems to jump at the moment to be sexist and racist at the same time since his last tweet about Jemele Hill. 

The widow, Myeshia Johnson, of Sgt. La David Johnson, spoke out today and doubled down on what was said to her in the limo that day. She described who was in the car with her and what was said. The Congresswoman Wilson was not lying despite the Biggest Baby to ever lead the country saying otherwise. 

She had no words for the President today after the interview on ABC News and why should she?

He wouldn’t believe them anyway. He only likes the color black when red and white are involved. 

The real weakness

By Matt Bright

Harvey Weinstein isn’t surprising. He’s a reminder.

Donald Trump isn’t surprising. He’s a reminder.

Cam Newton isn’t surprising he’s a reminder. 

The NFL is a reminder. No one should be surprised.

Hugh Hefner is a reminder. No one should be surprised. 

Bill Cosby is a reminder. No one should be surprised. 

John Lennon also a reminder.

O.J. Simpson is a reminder. 

Ike Turner is a reminder. 

Derrick Rose, Patrick Kane, Ben Roethlisberger, and so many more. 

Religions are reminders. The History of whose held presidential office is an unbelievable reminder. 

The most popular sports are a reminder. The heroes in the most popular movies have become a constant reminder. 

Their paychecks are a reminder. The music we listen to is a reminder.

If you’re a woman reading this, seeing who wrote it might even be a reminder. 

Men dominate culture without any rhyme or reason. Then you make way for a few white women to star and call it equality. You give way to a focus on a certain portion of black culture and call it intersectional. 

Men of color receive some privileges before women of color and uphold a system that is detrimental to equality and empowerment of women of color, and black women, and Trans Black women (The least represented, the most excluded, and most unheard.) 

I didn’t want to address one singular issue like Harvey Weinstein because the shock is non existent, especially for all women. 

The San Bernardino Mass Shooter who made the YouTube video about how women gave him no affection or love. His reason for despicable, deplorable, and tragic event.

The video of a woman walking down the street in New York being harassed, and stalked for hours. The woman who took pictures with her harassers in selfies. 

Policemen who exchanged sexual favors for getting out of arrests.

Rape culture, the light sentences for rape. The staggering amount of unreported rapes, not to mention rapes that happen with marriages.

The constant conversation of telling women how to dress, repressing their sexuality for “safety” instead of teaching men to not violate a woman’s body. To get consent. 

Obliterating the term “Friendzone.”

The negative connotation of promiscuity prescribed to women and the accolade nature prescribed to men. 

Sexism needs to die, as a man, I’m not without fault. I’m just aware of it like a white person waking up to racism. 

In your proximity, you can make an impact. Listen to women, do your damn best to acknowledge them. Respect women. 

Learn it, repeat it. It won’t happen overnight and you’re going to surely fuck up along the way. However with practice you won’t be Harvey Weinstein or Donald Trump, the best you could hope for is a Cam Newton-like comment. 

Enough is enough. 

Shouldn't bring Guns to a Laser fight.

A good guy with a gun doesn’t beat a fleet armed with lasers.

By Matthew Bright

The 2nd amendment is put in place to protect against a tyrannical government.

First, if you have to have that in writing to go after a tyrannical government, how does one know what tyrannical is without being told? If you can't see tyranny without a document telling you a government power is trampling all of our rights, then you should really check your moral compass. Second, the government isn't out of control or perfect but these tragic mass shooting events are.

Second, how do you expect to stop the most advanced, the largest military presence on planet Earth with your ruger?

Click this link about A.I. that will destroy targets and make decisions on their own. 

US Army robotics and A.I. is real. Drones that are armed with missiles and bombs. Real.

How about naval ships with ACTUAL LASERS! No seriously.....here click this right here.

The armament you would go against in the event of a guerilla warfare type of "revolution" ends in what exactly?

You on a grassy hill holding the American flag in your hand while you and your trusty Gloc & M-16 stand victorious. That's not an outcome, that's a T-Shirt. It's a fantasy.

This website has a breakdown of what weapons the Military uses, and what would probable be used against us in the event of Citizens versus a Tyrannical Government (Again as defined by the constiitution).

At best you'd go out in a blaze of glory, probably why you'd want to overthrow the "powers that be."
For glory. There's people who want peace and believe our system is imperfect but we can make change without having to become a post apocalyptic Kurt Russell film. You get it Snake?

Your guns against lasers and robots. What did Tony Stark say in Avengers?

"Not a great plan."
