I Don’t Want “Equality” (or Equity)
For quite some time now, “equality” (when referring to blacks in comparison with whites) has been extended beyond the realm of even handedly applying the law and into the focus of evening out socioeconomic indicators such as income, prevalence in certain fields, educational attainment, etc.
This desire for “equality” has implicitly promoted the socioeconomic averages of white people as THE standard by which black people are measured and is used as the target point of crusading politicians who promise that their tax funded social programs will remedy the undesired disparities.
Rather or not the averages of white people are intrinsically worthy goals for black individuals to seek is virtually never considered in the discussion. I Don’t Want “Equality” (or Equity) is my critique on this issue.
Self-appointed saviors of every stripe,
from all across the nation,
join hands to air their gripes.
They scream with unanimous indignation
about the wrongs of yesteryear
cited today,
preying on fears
and visceral dismay.
Oh how they lecture
about my forefathers’ noble struggles
and then conjecture
that the solution to my troubles
is “equality”
with the whites.
They say “equity”
will be to my delight.
But I won’t shame my ancestors
by limiting my own prosperity
to the capabilities of my oppressors
under some cheap notion of solidarity.
I won’t walk my autonomy back
into the hands of the state
so that the do-gooder hacks
can live well and find more dregs to bait.
I don’t want equality,
I want to be at the apex.
I don’t care for the “equity” ideology,
no entity can preprogram my success.
So long as I’ve got my liberties
and my rights are respected,
my drive will deliver me
whether or not anyone is willing to accept it.

You Should Be Skeptical About The Covid-19 Vaccine [Video]
In the short time the covid-19 vaccine has been made available, there are already thousands experiencing negative side effects.
According to the Epoch Times, 3,150 people used the CDC promoted smart phone app V-Safe to report infirmities that rendered them unable to work or perform daily activities, and/or required professional medical attention.
A hospital in Illinois temporarily halted covid-19 vaccinations due to a few of their healthcare workers experiencing adverse affects from the shot. Five healthcare workers in Alaska also suffered from adverse effects stemming from the vaccine (two of which were “considered serious”).
While these incidences (as of the present moment) constitute a minority of 270,000+ vaccinations already administered, they provide a concrete illustration of risks some citizens might want to avoid, even amid the potential dangers of contracting covid-19.
But even this rather illuminating data might not give all the relevant information one may need to make a decision on the covid-19 vaccine.
As Mike Wallace highlights in this 1976 special on the Swine Flu vaccines, poor communication within the medical community coupled with said community’s asymmetrical knowledge and negligent dissemination to the general public can lead to life long tragedy.
