For probably 15 years I was substance-free, not to suggest that I was ever what society would consider a abuser, I never was.. I could continue that way but I am choosing to take enough beer or whiskey in the last several hours before......

For probably 15 years I was substance-free, not to suggest that I was ever what society would consider a abuser, I never was.. I could continue that way but I am choosing to take enough beer or whiskey in the last several hours before I go to sleep to give me a pretty solid buzz. I don't think I have to do this but I choose to do so. I find that living in this 2018 World almost intolerable, the Avalanche of evil every hour every day, I find joy in fighting it but it's a real struggle. Until recent months I had a shred of Hope for the future of creation, just a shred, but it was there. No longer. Again, I think I could manage without the alcohol, but my sense is that I do better with it. And I'm able to face the next day with full energy. I'm concerned about this and I'll continue to monitor it but that's where I am so far. James

On Easter Sunday 1873, 145 years ago, hundreds of white men in Colfax County, Louisiana, took up arms after Sunday morning worship services and marched to their county courthouse to reclaim control of the local government from representatives who had been democratically elected by black and white people voting together. Standing their ground in the hopes that federal reinforcements would arrive in time, every defender of democracy at the Colfax County courthouse was murdered.

White Democrats across the South took their cue from this violent coup d’etat and developed the “Mississippi Plan,” which capitalized on the narrative of white fear to suppress black political power in the presidential election of 1876 and overturn Reconstruction through a compromise with Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes. This white supremacy campaign also sometimes goes by another name: the “redemption movement.”
