Pointing Out Politicians

Pointing Out Politicians

By Sherman Rivers

One of the main things that bothers me about today's political climate is the seeming inability of politicians to say what they mean and mean what they say.

Most of the time, it seems to go unnoticed. Let's shine a little light on it!

I'm often confronted with stereotypical assumptions regarding race and politics in America. As an "African American", I find it all a bit confusing and I'm inclined to think that is by design. All too often focus and emphasis seems to be placed on things that are, for the most part insignificant and in the best case not as important as we as Americans are led to believe.   

Have you noticed that, in the midst of a supposed push for progress, our attention is constantly directed to the past? If so, you are probably a lot like me in concluding that most often it completely ignores or discounts the tremendous progress that has been made in this country. The United States is far from perfect. To that end, when compared to the other countries we could be living in, it remains the best place in the world to be a citizen. Of course, this is just my opinion.  

Being American is not about being a race, it is about prescribing to a culture, the American culture. The American culture is about freedom, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. Don't get me wrong, race has played and is playing a significant role in American life and politics but I truly believe the issues with race in America have been intentionally amplified. That was done to serve a purpose. Political aims, ambitions, and goals play no small part in that.  

Let's talk about it:

Why Does Joe Biden Want to Rejoin the World health Organization Right Away?

Why Does Joe Biden Want to Rejoin the World health Organization Right Away?

Why is Joe Biden so anxious to rejoin the World Health Organization?  

Joe Biden mentioned that his intent is to rejoin the WHO on day one should he be declared the ultimate winner of the presidential election 2020 and become the 46th President of the United States. My question is, "why did the United States leave the World Health Organization in the first place?".

Why Did Joe Biden Say "330 Million" Americans? Does He Believe in CHOICE?

Why Did Joe Biden Say "330 Million" Americans? Does He Believe in CHOICE?

In a recent live stream regarding a "meeting with Governors" , Joe Biden mentioned the need for getting 330 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccines into the arms of Americans.   Just out of curiosity, what does that sound like to you?  This isn't about whether or not you think vaccines are effective. Nor is it about any other issue regarding them. This question is about choice and openness about intention.  I'm certainly not one to downplay the threat of the covid-19 virus.  But, why, as Americans, do we allow politicians to address us and treat us in ways that have an element of surprise built into them. Are you okay with that?  I'd seriously like to know.
