No Justice for Breonna ~ Who Is Daniel Cameron? Why are Blacks Surprised By The Decision Not to Indict the Police Officers Who Murdered Breonna Taylor?
“If you don’t understand white supremacy/racism, everything that you do understand will only confuse you.” Neely Fuller Jr.
No Justice for Breonna ~ People are trying to filter reason through a clogged funnel — subsequently becoming frustrated as they attempt to make “reason” the foundation of their reality. The reality that they are so adamantly resisting, in theory, is systemically functional and does not rely on reason but the force of its very design. It does not have to make sense, it simply has to produce the results it was designed to produce.
It would appear evident that after 401 years (1619-2020) of predictable results, 150 years of active participation, and 60 years of actively voting, that changing the moving parts of the system does not change the results. Until the system is dismantled, it will continue to function as it was designed to function — producing the results it was designed to produce. To expect anything different is to be reminded of the quote at the beginning of this post.
When it comes to voting, there is a huge element that 95 percent of the voting citizens in this country are completely oblivious to. Voting is a litmus test that reveals how many people in this country still believe in the system. As long as you can keep giving people reasons to turn out to the polls in large numbers and they respond, it sends a message to the powers that be that the masses still believe in the system. It does not matter who you vote for, only that you vote. It does not matter who wins. The winners will celebrate their victory, while the loser will vow to get them the next time. This has been true since the Republic Governments of Greece and Rome.
See, no one participates in a process they have stopped believing in. And, it is only a matter of time before those who no longer believe in the system start looking for ways to change it. This is what is feared by the wealthy elite — a systemic shift — a shift in power and wealth. I have been sharing this for years; racism is simply the gatekeeper of elitism/classism. Racism is not an end, it is a means to an end.
Watch: No Real Accountability in the Breonna Taylor Police Shooting!
Government politics is the antithesis of reason — a bureaucratic machine that spawns more bureaucracies. The most common element of a bureaucracy is that it is designed to defend itself at all costs. The number one goal of bureaucracy is survival, not sufficiency or effectiveness. You must stop viewing them as Democrats or Republicans and see them for who they really are beyond the veil of the two-party system — bureaucrats!
I believe in patterns. Everything moves in rhythms and patterns, if you are not happy with the results you are getting, you have to change the patterns. The problem is that we have been conditioned to follow the patterns and repeat them — getting the same results but expecting different outcomes. Daniel Cameron did what he was put in a position to do.
There is an old adage that the elders would often say: “All skin folk ain’t kinfolk.” In my years of study and observation, one conclusion I have come to is that the most dangerous person to Black progress is not a White racist but a Black person with a White agenda.
When I looked into the background of Daniel Cameron when it was first revealed that his office would be taking over the investigation into the Breonna Taylor shooting, something jumped out at me almost immediately. It was not that he was married to a White woman who happens to be the niece of Mitch McConnel (Indication that the marriage is more about his career than love), or that he was a Black conservative. It was his complete circle.

As a child, my great-grandmother drilled into my conscious the importance of choosing the right circle. I teach my clients that they will become the average of the five people they spend the most time around.
There is something else your circle reveals. It reveals how you feel about yourself. When there is literally no one in your chosen circle that looks like you, that speaks volumes as to how you feel about yourself. Self-hate is real and it can be lethal to those who look like the person who is yet to love themselves. ~ Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.
