Ukraine War

Is this WWIII? I don’t know. Will this war between Russia and Ukraine impact the whole world… yes. Many of us sit in our cozy homes u bothered Many of us sit in our cozy homes unbothered by what’s happening around us in the universe. Right now there is a war going on in the Ukraine which was initiated by Russia. I can not say that I know the history of that territory but from looking at a map it would appear that the Ukraine is part of Russia. I am not sure what year they separated or Ukraine declared it’s independence but visually it appears to be physically part of Russia. I am not saying Russia is right by trying to reclaim it’s territory by any means. The thing that bothers me is that How Biden, the president of the United States sent 54 million, I think, to help Ukraine with it’s war efforts. Why? We as Americans have problems here in our own country that we could put that money towards like our homeless population sleeping in tents all across the U.S.A! Not only that but it seems that no matter the country people of color are going to be treated unfairly and with disregard. Since the war in Ukraine had begun there have been multiple videos released to social media showing Africans being turned away from trains and other means of transportation used to escape/flee the war. How can you be racist or colorist when there is a war going on?!? “Okay, all the white Ukrainians get to escape but you people of color can’t board this train! Now got”. That sounds like something being stated in the 1800s, not in the year 2022! I kills me when other races or nationalities act like they don’t understand why people of color, especially “Black” people (a word I hate using but that’s what you folks like to use) don’t really give a flying fruit roll up about what’s going on in the world. Why should we help or even care about anything other than “Black” people at this point!?! For year we have shown compassion only to continuously keep getting knocked down by others. Just last year the Asians went after the “Black” community when there were clearly more attacks on Asians by Caucasian people than “Black” people. Which prompted Joe Biden, y’all president, to give $40 million to the Asian community for extra protection in their neighborhoods. #seriously! “Black” people still to this day have not gotten reparations or anything for any of the mistreatment from any race, ever. We can’t even get protection from the police that are paid by our tax dollars to protect and serve us! WTF. Oh don’t forgive me if I offended anyone with this post, I am not sorry or apologetic. What I am is over it… when you folks want to live normal, peaceful, compassionate, and caring lives then maybe I’ll give two F’s but right now I’m in zero! PS: watch how global powers begin to shift and realign… Japan, Germany, China, Europe… They are all watching the United States and from what I’ve been seeing on foreign news outlets they are not happy with us.
