America is going through this because Americans are being shown in the mirror what they have been doing to anyone who doesn't look like them for years. People have to be shown the harsh realities of what they have been turning a blind eye to for many years. Black, white, yellow, brown, etc. -- anyone who has any racist feelings and undertones to them has to look in the mirror. It's like this all racism has to be exposed if we are going to move forward in the coming years toward the collective raising their vibration level.
I'm sure we all have stories in our family of shame in what our own families have done. My own father was very racist, he never talked about someone without a label - "that black man, that Chinese man, that Spanish man, etc.". My mother never spoke about another person in a racist way that I can ever remember. I myself was friends in school in first grade with the only black boy and girl in my entire class. I was forbidden to have them over my house by my father. Ironically, I was teased and bullied more than anyone in my class and the ONLY person who protected me was John, the only black boy in my school.
It's well documented how racist the Orange Nightmare was on the set of the Apprentice and in other venues (radio, etc.). His time here is to expose and force us all to the see the flaws in our government and the corruption exposed. He is not only a useful idiot to Putin but a tool by the universe to do this.
It is going to take a few years till we can really start to heal from this nightmare. We are in a process and the next administration will begin that healing.
I am looking forward to praying for us all and sending healing light tomorrow night with our meditation group to the USA and the world.? ? ❤️
I have no idea what you feel you have to apologize for by the way ? I couldn't find anything offensive in your posts.
If you are worried about being angry about what is going on with the Orange nightmare and the GOP OR with the racism and the terrible tragedies occurring in our country etc. - don't be. I AM ANGRY TOO. I feel like Jesus did when he overturned the tables in the bible angry.
In my very humble HUMAN opinion I'm going to say that sometimes we light workers are a bit too "politically correct" in what we think we're allowed to say when we see darkness and danger coming right at us. We are allowed to fight back. We just do it much differently and with love and light mixed in.

To right the scales after the crap that T uttered yesterday, here are excerpts from Biden’s speech today. This is a leader.

Joe Biden is so much more than he appears to be ...
"Walk softly and carry a big stick" was Teddy Roosevelt's motto (another Scorpio), and in Biden's case that "big stick" is being manifested as a sincere strength that is the voice of sanity and compassion. A real leader indeed!
GO BO!!!
Hello all. I'm one of those lurkers who's been reading this forum for years but never had the confidence to actually make an account and contribute in any meaningful way. I just have a few thoughts I wanted to share.
Like many of you I'm quite frustrated with the state of the world and especially prince orange and his ability to make every single bad situation worse. I could't believe it when he got elected. I thought he would last a few months tops before he got kicked out for some scandal. I'm hoping he'll be gone as soon as possible, at least by November, but one thing toubles me: If you get rid of one bad leader/dictator, another one tends to step up. Getting rid of one horrible leader is good but there seems to be no lack of bad people in the world. Well, "bad people" is a bit strong. Let's call them opportunists in lack of a better word.
We tend to put our hopes into political systems, but all systems are flawed, and the opportunists will exploit the weaknesses of these flaws, no matter how well inteded the system, it be capitalism or communism.
I'm now thinking that changing the system, or getting rid of Trump, won't really help much in the long run. We will still have certain parties filled with opportunists having a loose concept of "truth", bending reality to their benefit and putting weak groups up against each other.
One of the things that have been most frightening for me to see the last years is the growth of the alt-right, the normalization of harassment and online bullying and the rise of fake news. It seems the opportunists and trolls used to self-censor because they knew many of their impulses was unacceptable for most people. Now they have platforms where they are not only accepted but encouraged, and with Trump the king of trolls in the white house, they feel increasingly like they have been given a carte blanche to do what they please. Some attempts are being made to tag fake news as fake news, or censor certain hateful comments in comment sections, but all in all this seems to be hardly making a dent.
A few years ago I had a vision that explained to me why it has gone this far and must continue for a while longer. In order to properly clean up we can't simply remove one leader. We need to lure out all the opportunists and trolls also, so we can deal with all of them. How to do that? Make them think they have won and they are safe. Even though quite a lot of them are already out and enjoying the opportunity to do things they normally wouldn't be able to, I see some of the bigger fishes are still holding back, still keeping one foot on safe ground and holding back their true selves just in case Trump self-implodes. If he falls now they won't all fall with him.
I'm not sure when the change will happen, but what I have felt is that once they think that they truly won, once they get to choose sides and choose to go all in on the opportunist bandwagon. Only then the carpet will be pulled from under their feet.
Today my conservative BFF* sent me a WaPo editorial (which I couldn't read-paywall), titled something to the effect of "It's fair to question Biden's cognitive status." Since I couldn't read it, I could only read her note to me, in which she said that she no longer believes the stories about Biden being a lifelong stutterer (*sigh* we are both speech pathologists...), and that he has severe Alzheimer's and so should step down and let Bernie step up.
Here's what's exhausting - I doubt she read the whole editorial herself, she's just going off the title. So if someone can find a non-paywall link, I'd appreciate it, because I'm not going to reply to her until I read the whole thing. I suspect it's one of those b.s. "fair and balanced" editorials that raises questions but doesn't offer anything concrete.
*have mentioned her before - voted for tRump, I've made some inroads with her, and she'd prefer not to vote for him again, but doesn't like Biden or Warren (would vote for Bernie any time tho), very wealthy and very much part of the oligarchy/meritocracy.
@laura-f I have WAPO. I found this dating back to March.
Send back to your friend WAPO’s coverage of Biden’s speech today. I had posted a link to it earlier but here it is.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/02/biden-delivers-presidential-speech-we-needed/
Tell me if these links work.
The links are behind paywalls, so no, but thanks to @TriciaCT I got the main gist (thanks!) I will send my friend the second link (I trust your recommendation), as a rebuttal.
And re: the protests - this is an area where I have made good (but not great) progress with her. She acknowledges that cops are over-militarized, that they kill non-resisting black people unjustly, but then says the rioting "It's not Trump's fault, those looters will use any excuse." I asked her to go look at videos of protesters shielding the truck driver and other provocateurs from the crowds, she did and conceded my point that the violence is not coming from BLM people. So I'm not going to press her on that one, I'd rather accept what she CAN stipulate to, and work on the rest of the issues as I can. This Biden issue, though, is tough.
Let me get some thoughts from you all on this: What if I said to her, "OK, Biden has dementia. Clearly so does Trump. One of them will be president, which person with Alzheimer's would you prefer to be in charge of the country? The one who will have a young VP to take his place? Or the one with St. Mike?"
