My (extremely weak) Anti-Trump Freestyle

Arrived in Westchester donning a sheepskin jacket,
Even back then I was causing a racket.
You're not like us and we don't like you,
Wonder how much more hate had they known Mom was a Jew.
Lily white people, like the shell tops of my Adidas,
Sitting in Math class, learning PMDAS.
Off to White History, learning about this, that and the other,
Could look for miles and couldn't see a brother.
Spent thirty years blinding myself to the racism of friends,
Social media arrives and many of those end.
Eight years of hate, but not cause he's black,
They feel so oppressed, but what is it they lack.
Middle class whites, talking about their plight,
Ignorance isn't acknowledged, they just want to fight.
They bashed him for healthcare and his knowledge of the constitution,
This isn't what they learned in the educational institutions.
They see in a Trump, a great white hope,
Ignoring the fact, he's a great big dope.
They use every excuse for him, even accepting his plan,
But don't call him a Hitler, a Nazi, they prefer Klan.
He attacks our women's right and they won't stick up for their mamas,
It's clear as day, they simply love he's not Obama.
He is orange skinned and it's getting thinner,
But he's white enough, that's what made him a winner.
The American Dream of Trump in the imagination is a figment,
He's only there, because his skin lacks darker pigment.
He's turned again our societal norms and our news,
How soon people forget, Hitler did this, before he went after the Jews.
Obama had brought us promises and many we reached,
The only glimmer of hope is that this tyrant's impeached.
We don't want war, but he'll use it for distraction,
He knows us flexing muscle is an American attraction.
We're losing our friends all over the globe,
Some are questioning his cranial lobes.
I'm not Eminem, and my lyrics are whack,
But open your eyes, MAGA's a step back.
We need equality in person, education and wealth,
Let's stop wasting money on weapons that are stealth.
For eight years, people's hate grew and grew until we could see,
But now it's erupted over taking a knee.
A white man shooting, a car plowing through people,
Not as bad as a black or brown fist to his sheeple.
The people who bestowed this power need to rebuke,
Before our world ends with the drop of a nuke.
Who would have thought, Trump, Pence and Ryan,
Would give us a daily reason for cryin'.
We need to fix those roads and bridges that divide,
Stop listening to the tweets that do nothing but deride.
We can end this by simply banding together,
Hell this fool doesn't even believe in the weather.
We can't turn our back on the killings and screams,
Of Natives and slaves, and call it a dream.
The dream that Martin had was fit for kings,
We can't let this man reverse all our great things.
Moving forward has always been us,
thanks to people like Rosa who sat on a bus.
Fighting the system was written into our rights,
Equality for all was coming into sight.
But now we stand peering into the abyss,
We have one last chance, let's hope we don't miss.
My rhymes are weak. angry thoughts shattered,
Our country now feels so broken and battered.
I know many think I'm silly and a chump,
But who cares what you think, if you're defending Trump.
I'm ending this now with a hope for us all,
Let's hope Trumpty-Dumpty takes a big fall.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
