State of the Union
February 7, 2023

|
Tonight was the night of the American President's
State of the Union speech.
and I watched it... up to a point...
and here is where I stopped listening to it.
The man at the podium... the "President"...
had arranged for the parents of Tyre Nichols to be there.
Tyre, a young and handsome black man...
had been savagely beaten to death...
by five rogue cops...
for reasons still speculated upon.
These cops had been hired... with dubious references.
The rogue cops... were all black men.
This was not a white supremacy show of power...
but something more akin to... a gang hit.
Tyre's parents rose as they were introduced...
and with their sharp grief still shrouding them
they stood and then thanked those applauding.
And so... what next did this President do?
He spoke about "having that talk" with kids.
"That talk" is... of course...
black kids being warned about "whitey"...
about white men "comin' to get the blacks."
He said... parents should be teaching their black children
to fear white people...
to stay distant from white people...
especially those white cops.
And just to help this lesson in life along...
this "President" pin-pointed a few things...
for black parents to say to their children...
"turn on the car overhead light"...
"keep your hands on the steering wheel"...
(something Tyre did NOT do).
Tyre was a good young man...
He was running for his life...
from thugs posing as cops.
Tyre had been dragged from his car...
I've noticed such things like this... from this person...
this man who calls himself "President."
I'm not sure what alerted me to it...
maybe something more obvious than others...
you know... the way he nuzzles strangers and children...
but... as I followed this query of thought...
it seemed to hold true.
He would say or do something nutsy... off the wall...
and... it was easy to see him laughing about it later...
with his son, perhaps... or his wife...
at the great joke they played on some unsuspecting person.
I could even see the family watching the reruns...
laughing at the looks on peoples' faces...
as he... touched something he shouldn't have...
and... SCORED... one.
If this is the game... he certainly plays it well.
It is the game of a sociopath...
who uses others... for his entertainment...
and dares others... to stop him.
