Unless you're programmed not to care.

My Mom has had a very comfortable Boomer life and she asks me why do I care so much. Funny coming from a "Christian". I love her but she's such a fucking hypocrite and won't see/admit it or own it.

Yeah I think that's what the quote is getting at. Some people like to hang their hat on some ideology and just call it a day, but to me that is like a type of mental stagnancy that prohibits growth

Kinda, but no.

Her life isn't affected. It's only ending because she's over 70. She may have another 30+ years. Likely less. She lives in a pale rich old people's condo with a spectacular view across the river of Detroit to the north, and she cringes every time I say she literally lives in an ivory tower or that I live in a dungeon.

OR

Her live began to end a looooong time ago when she young and programmed not to care. Sure she does her weekly volunteering at the second hand store raising funds for charity, but that's just a little social club to pat themselves on the back. It's local and helps and it's not nothing, but it's hardly revolutionary policy change or the real improvements everyone needs.

See Martin Luther & Coretta King and black Secret Serviceman Abraham Bolden with shooters on the Grassy Knoll, at the assassination of US President John Kennedy, in Dallas Texas, Nov. 22, 1963, check the simian features on the wench's face as she savors the kill.

The LK's had accepted Mrs Kennedy's gracious invitation to dine with her and the President in her home at the White House a short time before, which I say demonstrates the folly of treating blacks like human beings, as well it remains the genesis for the warning all blacks get to be no closer than one rifle shot to me and my household at any time.

That photo proves nothing and this narrative seems very much like disinformation

We intend there should be hundreds of thousands of executions in response to the same evidence, that's the newshounds world wide who spurn the truth, with every member of the FBI & the CIA and the entire roll call at both houses of the US Congress .. whereas if you gonna stand with the deniers you will need to present a cognitive defense to stay off of death row y'self.
