I had watched it. A thought came into my mind that black women can help us white men become better people if we just open up our eyes and our hearts.
I thought about how over the past 30 or so years the many discussions I had with a black friend helped me become a more aware and better person. So, I called him to thank him.
Those that know me sometimes think I have good insight because I have been saying for years that if this country is to ever heal and become a better country it will come through the courage and graciousness of black women. I can explain that in detail some other time.
This belief is why I love this run for presidency by Kamala. She is a strong but compassionate black woman. Not only can she lead this country but she can be an emancipator for white people, especially men, to free themselves from the shackles of racism and sexism and evolve to be better people. However, that will require that someone wants to evolve.
Hopefully, there are many white people who take advantage of this opportunity to grow and gain some wisdom.
Mahesh Pherwani: You are special: You are close to my very last reply in Memphis before we fly to Frankfurt a.M. to visit our "Wahlverwandtschaften" (the term invented by the great Goethe -- it means kindred spirits, basically - usually translated "elective affinities" -- but that is too academic -- "Wahl" (e.g., vote, choose) and "Verwandt" (kin, relative)) -- these are dear, dear friends of over 45 years (except for a set of busy, funloving, fairly wild 9-year-old twins!! Beautiful, welcoming friends who are closer than friends -- like cousins.
Watched those strong women be directed by Ari member to watch those batshit clips (all of which could be used as evidence for an involuntary commitment to a psych hold) was hard.
"Many political leaders, including Starmer, the Irish government, EU commissioners, and US senators, have called for an inquiry into social media’s role in spreading incendiary disinformation. I have no idea what the best legal remedy would be that was consistent with democratic and free speech values. I do know, however, that whatever he says, Musk is no fan of either. He revels in conflict and is fascinated by the possibility of collapse. He’s a disaster capitalist, a vicious troll and a brilliant engineer rolled into one. I wrote last year about Musk’s warped libertarianism. Today I would be tempted to label him a techno-authoritarian."

Jim Sanders: Exactly. And I take your other comments as completing this one.
Very well said.
I corrected the above.
FYI that Ari link is not good. But can find it anyways. I can’t watch him but I like those two women.
DeeDee: Thank you for the good feedback. Hmmm. I think you can find the full episode of August 13th here:

Seriously
Patris: EXACTLY.
It was so UNREAL, I had to share. "Scientists say . . . a man who votes for a woman transitions to a woman . . ."
Hmm . . . "Twilight Zone"!
Astonishing!
Mary Ellen Gambutti: Exactly.
In a warped way it is kind of humorous how the extreme right boldly shows its racism and misogyny. On the right, they are downright naked about it.
Not fit for polite society!
Unbelievable. Have a wonderful time away, Armand. We will be watching the DNC next week for you💙🇺🇸💙
Diane K24: Today, Nancy and I fly away.
Worse is Elon Musk:
On today's Morning Joe, Ed Luce had written:

Musk and Trump need to be exiled to Siberia! Have a wonderful trip, Armand!
Bon voyage! Enjoy your time with Nancy!
Jeannine: Thank you, thank you!
Hopefully many white oriole that want to be better people.
Dammit. People
Jim Sanders: Exactly!
