Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

White men

White men have ALWAYS used violent force to get what they want. 

Whether our military, corporations, or church. And white people accepted, aligned, and embraced this violent force - so bloody absorbed we don't even SEE white men as a threat let alone violent but as the creators, protectors and perpetuators of democracy. 

Don't most white people LOVE what whiteness has brought us??? And we KNOW 'granted' through war and rape and genocide and enslaving and institutionalizing racism, misogyny, wealth and poverty. 

All justified because after all, we have white skin. 

We are civilized. 

We are superior. 

We work hard. 

We deserve it.
