The Fears of Slippage-2
JULY 13, 2025
"FEARS of SLIPPAGE II--I oftentimes find myself referring to a number of my previously published pieces. It seems that when I do, I find myself sometimes shocked at the relevance they possess now, moreso than when they were previously published.
One thing has not changed ...the persons that continue to bombard us with the myriad problems that are casting us further into the abyss have remained the same.
That barn door that I referenced as being opened is now completely and essentially totally removed from its hinges.
Everything in the corresponding description that was written for "Fears of Slippage" continue to exist with this one exception-things have become MARKEDLY WORSE.
DON'T STOP READING THOUGH! Continue to adhere to the admonitions that I previously presented and we will find ourselves in the positions for which we were created.
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!
PEACE!

Their opposition has become even more prevalent since they opened the barn door and welcomed the personality and mindset of their current leader into office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
"The Fears of Slippage"
identifies the various movements that White Men have been the common obstacle/denominator to those movements being legislated, implemented and attaining their desired goals.
We now are being bombarded by a torrent of executive orders that seek to return Blacks, Persons of Color, LGBTQ+, Women, the Disabled and the entire populace of the marginalized and disproportionately affected to that time that preceded all acts of legislation that sought to level the playing field for the aforementioned.
Why, I ask, do you think that many in Congress are vociferously cheering on the actions of a would-be dictator? The simple answer, they are white men who possess the same desires.
We must recognize and stand on the fact that we have been challenged before and demonstrate the resilience of our ancestors. We must also learn to exercise the spirit of cooperation and collaboration among each of the groups listed in order to overcome what we are now facing.
In short, we must coalesce and seek to impact the one thing that has driven the white man's actions throughout the annals of time...MONEY!!!
Let's get busy doing just that!!!
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!
