Doctor Fauci …. Sigh

Featured by ADRIAN MARIE JONES (AJay), posted in #AJAYNY, #Covid, slavery

What can I say about Doctor Fauci? Something is not right. The first time Doctor Fauci told us we didn’t need masks, a pandemic ensued. The second time he told vaccinated people they don’t need to wear masks, we experienced the 2nd wave. Now Doctor Fauci wants vaccinated families not to wear masks. Ok. Are we still going to listen to him?

Check out what’s going on in Gibraltar; the MOST vaccinated territory in the world. They are currently having an outbreak. When are we going to admit that this virus is here to stay? When are we going to ask why they, the government and the doctors, are not promoting early effective treatment?

What’s going on is criminal and frightening. People giving up their freedoms so they can go to the mall and eat in a restaurant. That’s not freedom. Being allowed to go somewhere isn’t a freedom. Having the right to go anywhere is a freedom. People are bartering movies and fun for freedom? It’s only going to get worse

It’s been almost 2 years into this pandemic. What has anyone done to get healthier? This is a pandemic of the unhealthy. If we don’t admit that, we are failing ourselves.

We Are Not Our Ancestors

“WE ARE NOT OUR ANCESTORS” is disrespectful AF. WE have had almost 150 years of “freedom” and what have we done… without shackles? 40 million Black people in the U.S. and a few thousand Black protestors out in the wake of the murder of to #GeorgeFloyd. Get a grip. Don’t let them lie to you. Our ancestors were killing slave owners! Know your history. Don’t let these white people tell you that our ancestors were just singing negro spirituals waiting to be saved. Because that’s a lie. That’s them making you think that good white folk freed you. No. We were fighting before the civil war.

There was wide spread attempts to escape slavery. There were plots to kill the slave owners and the overseers. Black men and women risking life and limb to escape to “freedom.” According to brittanica.com, “Estimates of the total number of slave revolts vary according to the definition of insurrection. For the two centuries preceding the American Civil War (1861–65), one historian found documentary evidence of more than 250 uprisings or attempted uprisings involving 10 or more slaves whose aim was personal freedom.”

We have to be careful. We have to understand our past in order to move towards our future. We can’t just assume that our formerly enslaved ancestors were weak people who just prayed to a Christian God for freedom. This is historically inaccurate and does not serve us.

Constitutions can be rewritten and laws can be changed. The freedoms of Black people are, at this time, wholly dependent upon people who don’t GAF about us. Unless we fight for real change…. real freedom, it will be more of the same. We have to continue on this path of active agitation. We are not our ancestors, we have a long way to go.
