Oh, so all of the sudden is the rest of us the dividers, haters and racists?? To whatever panel stated this:   “In a democracy, at least, power is not passed or given but rather earned. Bit like respect. The idea of “passing the power” is undemocratic” I said:….  NOT!!  Seriously, not really. I call it white men betrayal to stay in top, in power and in control.

Let’s elucidate a contemporary understanding….. Passing the power is super respectful and democratic way of telling the white straight men that you neither earned that power, and perhaps many times many it was given to them as a token of appreciation for their successful completion of their tasks [keeping the power]. Or stole it or simply took it by any alignments of these “entitlement” men ways or means available in their tangled-ill mind and in the many vile racist ways they organized,  concocted, fabricated to take away whatever was there available!! 

By the way, let them keep the anger to themselves… as they are infuriated by this billboard. Or better, the black men have been accused to be “angry”and depicted as brute and thug men for too long… lets share that too!!
