Glass: The Absence of the Pre-existence condition of Discrimination and Bias is FREEDOM

Think about how powerful Discrimination and Bias can be
by Mary Glass

FREEDOM

1.ability to act freely: a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any undue restraints or restrictions.

2.release from captivity or slavery: release or rescue from being physically bound, or from being confined, enslaved, captured, or imprisoned.

FREEDOM to learn in our formative years and lifelong years that which is necessary as NORM and automatic for navigating the field of life for success have crippled generations of African American, American Indian, Asian and Latino. Why?

FREEDOM has been illusive, bait-n-switch, smoke-n-mirrors and take-over. Why?

FREEDOM to choose pathways that empower and put one in the "pipeline of opportunity" is the difference between privilege and barriers as well as winning and losing.

FREEDOM that guarantees "innocent until proven guilty" is the difference between profiling and stereotyping; murdured but said to be justified; incarceration for the purpose of filling the pockets of the greedy; given felony charges that have no real basis; being placed on extended parole/on-paper or branded for life by our judicial, social and economic systems.

FREEDOM is liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a full citizen of the United States of America.

A week ago, SUNDAY, January 20, 2013, President Barack Obama received the first of two Oath of Office procedures by Chief Justice John Roberts to commence his second term as the President of the United States.  According to the Constitution, the elected candidate for President of the United States is to received the Oath on January 20th before Noon. 

For many months prior to November 6, 2012, disrespectful behavior to President Obama as a human being, a man, father, husband, brother, son, fellow christian, citizen and the President of the United States was non-stop by the candidates running for the office of President, Republicans, Birthers, talk show hosts and just disgraceful individuals that have put a stain on the U.S. Flag and the Constitution due to prejudices, bias and a distructive Call to Discriminate.

The unabashed disrespect, disregard for the rule of right and wrong, disregard for the Constitution and deep-rooted racial bias ran so deep, it commanded $$$millions (over $200 million) of advertisement to show their contempt - name-calling, misrepresentation of the truth, outright lies while looking in the eye of the camera and failure to follow the protocol of a fair election.  They even became so mesmerized and blinded that they were outright writing the laws in Florida and Ohio to "stack the deck" for Mitt Romney - they were out-of-control and set to "self-distruct".

Well.  We know what happened.
We know that Right trumped the wrong.
We know that the People were listening and watching.
We know that the People of Color were insulted many times over.
We know the People (race and gender) said, "No you will not".
Therefore, before 12 midnight Central Time, CNN called Barack Hussein Obama the Winner.

He had won even though there were voters yet in line in Florida.  The state that caused malfeasance and involved with misfeasance.

The shock sent a tsunami message to Republicans and those who engaged in FREEDOM busting.   Fox 6 pundits were fit to be tied.

Based on the shenanigans of the Virginia State Republicans last week, Democratic State Senator Henry Marsh was out-of-town for the Presidential Inaugural, the Republicans pulled a fast one in Redistricting.  We see that Republicans must be taught swiftly and decisively about what will and will not be tolerated going forward regarding the People's Freedom.

However, it is not just Virginia.

Here in Wisconsin, we must send the same message to Governor Scott Walker, his posse - Reience Priebus, Republican National Committee Chair, Congressman Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republicans and the Republicans in the Wisconsin Capitol (that is, THOSE that have little to NO regard for the Constitution or others rights) - swift and decisively the People must play trumps.
