Van Stone: Trick Question- Pres. Candidates, Should Prisoners Be Allowed To Vote? This Here Philadelphian Registered Voter’s Op-Ed Is, No Question About it.. Yes, To Vote Is There Right

I think that I’ll go for a walk today. No wait, I think I’ll stay home today. Okay, because I’m locked up in jail, I really don’t have a choice today. I had a thought about trying not to forget about voting today but what’s the point of doing that? I’m in jail, I’m identified as a misdemeanor or either I’m identified as a felon.  So, I am not allowed to vote because of have committed crime and not playing by the rules.

Pay closer attention to the phrase, not playing by the rules. Because most people that have used the phrase, not playing by the rules most likely are those who could care less about rules let along playing by rules.  This type of person most often always is the he or she who meant to be really nice but he or she all but ignored the prisoner at the jail.

For example: here’s one view about any prisoner at the jail.

“Now, if you’re just joining us from CNN this may shock you, but when you’re in prison you lose rights. It’s called prison, not spring break. So no — it’s not a slippery slope when denying voting rights to prisoners, because the slope doesn’t exist. You’re in jail — there’s no freedom. You can’t even vote with your feet! But in a socialist’s mind, sense doesn’t apply. Socialists disguise their thirst for power as “the greater good,” which means pretending to care while taking control.” — Greg Gutfeld, Fox News.  

Like I have said about someone who could care less about rules, let along playing by the rules, or a prisoner and rules, having thoughts that a prisoner should always have the right to vote is really about thirst for power? Really? What power?

America is so amnesia happy, happy to have a deficit in memory caused by brain damage or disease, that is.  America has used its amnesia prone disease to destroy so many people with an ease and a smile.

Many women, especially White women recall suffrage, the right for women to vote, in America. Women weren’t allowed to vote because they all committed a crime. Wait, that’s sounds like more American amnesia prone stuff. Fact is, women were prevented from voting because of fear of the thirst for power?

So, the power of a woman, a White woman, was taken away from her long before she might even- have thoughts about committing a crime. And the same goes for Slaves.

Any adult, not matter how young or old, can understand that having thoughts about committing a crime or to not be thinking but just committing a crime has absolutely nothing to do with be a voluntarily participant in a vote.

What vote will be put to an American citizen to decide about whether a person will be able to have freedom to commit a crime or not? Can anyone imagine the following question put to a citizen, a good citizen or bad citizen? A criminal should be able to commit crimes sometimes? Vote yes or no.  Therefore, to ask the question, A criminal should be able to vote is just like asking the question should a criminal be able to commit crimes sometimes? Vote yes or no.  How is not being able to vote a punishment?

Not being able to vote is not punishment.  Don’t agree? Okay, so, not being able to see a thing is the thing that someone is about to do to you as punishment. All ready then? Ready not to see anything anymore?  I could go on about what isn’t punishment… no more legs, arms, hands, feet, hearing, use of sexual organs and anything else that could be thought of, maybe?  Inflicting any of these things is not punishment.

Any person of age to vote and of age to be incarnated to jail or prison should continue for whatsoever the reason of their crimes, for whatsoever the level of the sentence, should not lose their right to vote. That’s my opinion about crime, jail and voting.   Otherwise, as soon as you get caught not playing by the rules and afterwards thrown in jail be ready to have your kids taken away, have your friends taken away, your parents taken away, and anything else the U.S. government pleases to suggest.

I really was thinking that in 2019 America was way pass the time period of it only takes a suggestion from some Christian-Puritan-minded-person to end any and all rights a person might have hoped to have. Isn’t that just one reason why the Puritans were considered criminals where they were long before they came to America?  Puritans didn’t want to go to jail for anything that they had done but at the same time Puritans wanted others to go to jail even for things that wasn’t done.

By the way, Henry Ford was of the Puritan belief and of the Christian Jehovah’s Witnesses belief- and Henry Ford praised Hitler as a genius and hero for the German people.  Trouble with Ford’s views was that he fired employees for not agreeing with him, he hoped that Hitler would be used by God to rule the new world order of things here on Earth, and he never spent a day in jail, losing the right to vote, for the senseless murder of union protestors who marched for better wages.    

Van Stone: Trick Question- Are We Ready To Stand Up All Together Enough For Them? White Nationalists Storm Washington Bookstore Reading: ‘This Land Is Our Land’?

Van Stone: Trick Question- Are We Ready To Stand Up All Together Enough For Them? White Nationalists Storm Washington Bookstore Reading: ‘This Land Is Our Land’?

A small group of white nationalists stormed a bookstore in Washington, D.C., to protest an event for a book on racial politics and how it’s impacting lower- and middle-class white Americans.

The group stormed the Politics and Prose bookstore on Saturday afternoon, interrupting a scheduled talk by Jonathan Metzl, a professor of sociology and psychiatry at Vanderbilt University who released his book “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America’s Heartland” this spring.

Videos filmed by those in attendance showed the group standing in a line before the audience chanting, “This land is our land.” At least one man was yelling white nationalist propaganda into a megaphone while people in the bookstore booed him.

The man identified the group as “identitarians,” a far-right white nationalist group which is linked to Identity Evropa, which the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as an extremist group.
 

Catherine Wigginton, who tweeted a video of the brief chaos, said she was “impressed” with how Metzl handled the interruption.

“Does anyone want to process that before I get back to what I was saying,” she tweeted, recalling his reaction after the white nationalists left.

Metzl, who is also the director for Vanderbilt’s Center for Medicine, Health and Society, was speaking at the bookstore for an Independent Bookstore Day event.

 

The bookstore protest happened on the same day a 19-year-old white supremacist opened fire on a synagogue in Poway, California, before a Passover celebration, killing one woman and injuring three others, including one young girl.

Before the attack, the shooter posted an eight-page manifesto online boasting about his “European ancestry” and expressing his hatred of Jewish people.

The bookstore protest ended without injury or damage, The Washington Post reported.

  

Metzl told NBC Washington that before the protest broke out he was speaking to a man who had helped Metzl’s father and grandfather flee Nazi Austria.

“Not five minutes before, I had acknowledged him and said this is how great America can be when it is bold and generous,” Metzl recalled to NBC.

He told the Post that the incident was “very symbolic for me.”

“In case anybody’s wondering what’s happening right now, they’re illustrating my point,” he said.

Van Stone: Trick Question- Was It Jessie Jackson Or The late Great Billy Paul Who Expressed It Better About America And So-called Going Back To Africa?

Van Stone: Trick Question- Was It Jessie Jackson Or The late Great Billy Paul Who Expressed It Better About America And So-called Going Back To Africa? 

When simple truth is mentioned ALMOST EVERYBODY IN PLAIN SIGHT IS SILENT. You couldn't have explained it any simpler to those in want of true understanding.  Add more to what you say...

Please help to expose Jessie Jackson! This Jackson, a jackass of a man, not our other Jacksons such as Michael and more, lied to America telling America that we the Black peoples of America all prefer to be name-called and identified as African American.

Billy Paul, the late great, Billy Paul, a Black American, sang, "Am I Black Enough For You?" After Jessie Jackson came along with his personal nonsense the Black American of America have been in out of control competition with their brothers and sisters about who's the realist Black person in America?

The terrible and absent minded Black Political Ambition helped to create so much confusion. It's bad enough that there has been and will forever be Black competition among Black peoples worldwide. But Black Americans are the peoples who are greeted as "hello my brother and hello my sister individuals" in America when met by all peoples from faraway lands such as India, Pakistan, Bangladeshi, West Africa and North Africa. These peoples from Black world culture know that the Black American is the most successful people ever worldwide -champions of the Blackness and what it really means to be as our Billy Paul asked, Am I Black Enough For You? Black Americans are so diverse...

We are Aboriginals, Indigenous, Native American, American Indian, Black Indian, Italian-American, Greek-American, Irish-American, South African-American, Puerto Rican-American Cuban-American, Haiti-American, Dominican Republic-American, Jamaican-American, Russian-American, Asian-American, Chinese-American, Polish-American,  and so many more as of course I left others out. What Black Americans are not... we are not White.. Jew-American, German-American, and few others in comparison to our Black peoples of America.

Stop judging and deciding who is Black based on skin color or the color of a person's skin alone. Pay more attention to those knowing the education of the history of Black peoples and ignore or expose those claiming to identify us all as one individual of Black when to do that is impossible. Impossible.

We as Black people never had the goal to undo the impossible of being who we are! Demand our Reparations- pay us, give us our money for the evil Legal Criminal America has always been.

Stop side stepping us Black Americans for the willingness to appease others when it comes to shelling out the money. Know thy self.
