If I had the wherewithal to immediately respond with solutions I wouldn’t be sitting here writing pretty poetry!

But I will say this— USA would do well to acknowledge its transgressions and apologize profusely to indigenous peoples and the Black Community.
While it’s at it, apologize to the rest of us who have been othered.
Power lies with white people. It’s an unpalatable fact. Jewish lobby does not form alliances with us colored folk. I’d put it in the same playpen with white power.
There’s is a reason why Palestinians rot it refugee camps and in a third world situation in Gaza. The west ( read white) parties on. Lackeys of the west like emirates and Saudi Arabia follow suit.
NOTHING will be forthcoming, not apologies, not reparations. I’m not holding my breath.
Global white supremacy has us in a vise.
