Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Friday, December 2, 2016. Is the Label of "Racist" Overused? I’ve come to the conclusion that people overuse the word racist. Was bad, we didn’t really define it, and we really only addressed certain aspects of it. Label is overused, and perhaps a little unfair. One of the things white Americans are most sensitive about is being deemed a racist. I have committed crimes, but am I deserving of the label? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Was published ...

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Monday, November 16, 2015. Hate ISIS, not Islam. It’s easy to be angry in the aftermath of such a senseless attack on humanity. A handful of extremists perpetrated the wholesale slaughter of so many innocent people. That should. Make you angry. But who, specifically, are you angry with? Is it possible that emotion overtakes you and as it spills over, you have to find a place and direction for those feelings? Wednesday, November 11, 2015. But th...

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Thursday, November 10, 2016. Moving Forward: The Trump Presidency. Can we trust him with the nuclear codes? We see the scatterplot of triumph and dismay apparent in every conversation you’ve heard since Election Day and in your social media feed. With much speculation about where America goes from here, this what I think to be a reality. That seems relatively harmless, I know. Oh, maybe he’s not as racist or xenophobic as we thought.

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Wednesday, March 23, 2016. Apathy and the Common American: Why I Dislike Americans. Can’t be bothered by it. And in the next thought, I can’t believe they give me the choice to press 8 for Spanish when I call my bank! What’s this country coming to? But the more I talked to Londoners and they caught on that I an American, I began to realize that I was a walking stereotype. Several times a day, usually over a nice pub ale, I had the same conv...

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Monday, August 29, 2016. Be Bold. Stand For What You Believe. And Take Responsibility For the Consequences. Can we talk for a moment about Colin Kaepernick? No big deal. We’ll get over it. Forget to place your hand over your heart or refuse to stand during the national anthem? Stand up for what you believe. There is honor and respectability that is due for having that courage. But it’s not easy. Expect consequences. Labels: black lives matter.

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Monday, January 2, 2017. Make America Great Again. I’m passing no judgement for this at all. The purpose of this article isn’t debate the qualities of President Trump or to try to predict what kind of policies are to come. I won’t begrudge the person who cast their vote, confident that Trump will do well as president. Rather, what set me to thinking was the slogan itself. Make America Great Again. Again. Perhaps a Native American might not agre...

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Thursday, December 31, 2015. Progress in the New Year. Why can’t we think this way when it comes to our government and the people that government serves? What made us great in those times that we could legitimately claim global leadership? That same conservative may hold Jefferson or Lincoln in high esteem and examples of what made the US great, but he or she forgets that these people were progressive, and that’s why.

J.M. Richardson Blog: July 2016

http://jmrichardsonbooks.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html

Latest thoughts and brain farts of novelist J.M. Richardson. Friday, July 8, 2016. Unity: Why We Don't Have It. Racism. Prejudice. Bullying. Discrimination. These kids all grow up together. They see each other as people, and only people. No one is vying for dominance as a group. There is no us or them. No status quo. Everyone gets to be unique, and everyone gets along despite the differences in view, culture, language, and creed. Labels: black lives matter. Thursday, July 7, 2016. Seems simple, right?
