Good morning!

First of all congratulations to Hillary Clinton for becoming the Democratic Nominee for President! Herstory has been made! I am thrilled for her and us.

I was one who liked Bill Clinton’s speech in support of his wife. I almost always agree with Rachel Maddow on everything that she says, but this time I disagreed with her. I didn’t think it was weird or a knock to feminists (I’m a feminist and I didn’t find his speech to be derogatory.) because Clinton spoke about courting his wife and calling her a “girl.” I love that term and always refer to myself as a “girl.” I could’ve called my cadre “Womenz” but I didn’t; I preferred Girlz. :)

Nor did I find it to be shocking and rude as Maddow stated. No, I enjoyed it because we got to hear about a different more personal side about Hillary. I had no idea how much she actually accomplished during the time of her courtship to Bill, nor what her goals and ambitions were earlier in life before she married him. Because he brought himself and their courtship into the story it made it more interesting and I remembered more than if he just started listing all that she had done. The time line shows her unwavering perseverance and commitment to do what she sets her mind out to do, that is not just recent but throughout her entire career in and out of the public eye.

Bill Clinton has always been a compelling and inspiring speaker and this time he was no different. Many say it humanized Hillary for those that are struggling to connect and trust her.

Firstly, thank you Social Butterfly for posting that short video of Tim Wise. I thought everyone should watch it if they haven’t. I’m posting it here because I think it is that good.

Now onto today’s Write. 

The video above inspired me to dive a little deeper. I found this video, another from Tim Wise that I wanted to share with all of you - no coincidence that his last name is “Wise” because he certainly is in my opinion. 

Antiracist essayist, author and activist Tim Wise delivered a keynote speech at the California Federation of Teachers 74th annual statewide convention on March 11, 2016 in San Francisco on the topic of “Using racism to divide and conquer, from the 1600s to Donald Trump.”

This is an awesome speech. He shows how the wealthy in this country uses the education system to set up the masses for inequality rather than an opportunity to rise to their level of privilege. He shows why those in power do their best to cripple education. Their philosophy is “if they all learn to read, who is going to do that work that priorities the needs of the Haves?”

Pay special attention to Tim Wise’s “There are no accidents only precedents” statement and explanation. You will find many uses for this in your life time. Spending this 46 minutes with Mr. Wise is all it takes to thoroughly understand the “Algebra of Inequality,” and the “Calculus of Oppression.” Afterwards, whether you are a teacher, relative, friend or parent you too will be able to ratify the Truth of young people.

Watch it:

Good morning!

I know that probably every one of you saw Michelle Obama’s speech last night during the first evening of the DNC. In my opinion she is the quintessence of intelligence, grace, style, and beauty. I was so drawn in by her words…so moved by her honesty, and inspired by her optimism. This girl is REAL.

I loved that her speech was all about the children and the future of our country and how Hillary is the girl who will stick in there and persevere, no matter what. Michelle Obama: I hear you. I’m with her too.

Her speech, as many have already stated, will be anthologized, quoted, and replayed for years to come. Let me begin by replaying it for you right now. Unlike the featured article, I am posting the full speech. Enjoy it again.

From the Huff Po:

FLOTUS LIKE A BUTTERFLY STING LIKE A BEE

Michelle Obama: Who Do You Want For Your Children’s Role Model?

The Democratic Convention crowd went wild.

PHILADELPHIA ― First lady Michelle Obama on Monday asked Americans to decide who they want serving as a role model for their children ― Donald Trump orHillary Clinton.

This election, Obama said during her speech at the Democratic National Convention, “is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.”

The crowd waved purple signs that read simply, “Michelle.”

Obama made clear that this election will determine who will give hope to the next generation, or instill fear.

“Every word we utter, every action we take, we know they are watching,” Obama said. “We as parents are their most important role models.”

That responsibility, Obama said, carries into her role as first lady, and her husband’s job as president.

“We know that our words and actions matter not just to our girls, but to children across this country,” she said.

Taking a jab at Trump and others who have questioned the president’s citizenship and his faith, Obama repeated the advice she and the president have shared with their children.

“When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level,” she said. “No, our motto is: ‘When they go low, we go high.’”

Obama recalled a simple but telling moment her husband shared with a little boy to tell those in Wells Fargo Center and watching across the U.S. that this election comes downs to more than party divisions stirring Democrats as the convention begins.

“Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband with eyes wide, and he wondered, ‘Is my hair like yours?’” Obama said. “Make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we are deciding. Not Democrat or Republican. Not left or right.”

And the only person she trusts with the future of her daughters and other American children is Hillary Clinton.

“I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters,” she said. “I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life work shows our children that we don’t seek fame and fortune for ourselves.”

A president “can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out,” she said. “You need to be steady and measured and well informed.”

In a nod to disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters, Obama noted Clinton’s loss to her husband in 2008. “Hillary knows this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.”

Instead, Obama said, Clinton decided to keep coming back to put “cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling” and take the country along. It’s that story of America, she said, that brought her to Philadelphia to deliver her speech.

It’s the story of generations who lived their lives in the U.S. feeling the “lash of bondage … the sting of segregation,” but who kept “striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.

“And I watch my daughters, two beautiful and intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.”

Now, because of Clinton, Obama said her daughters will “take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.”

💪🏽♀💪🏽

President Obama: You must be so proud. Michelle Obama is a Wonderful Woman Of The World.

Readers: I’m 👉🏼 With Her.

Mike, TM: Thanks for the very informative post. You answered many questions that I had as I was perusing online. As usual the stakes are high. I’m looking forward to hearing how Putin arranged to get the UK out of the EU. I find it fascinating that hours after the Brexit vote, many British frantically googled:  ”What is the EU?” and “What will Brexit mean for the UK?” I couldn’t understand why people voted to leave the EU when they weren’t quite sure what their vote to leave would mean. Or was it just Big L, littla a…when it came to getting to the polls to vote or ? Perhaps your revealing of Putin’s antics will expose the truth.

Good morning.

In light of yesterday’s comments on the shooting of another black man.

From the Huff Po:

13 Tweets Explain The Deadly Impact White Privilege Has On Black People

“#WhitePrivilegeMeans always getting the benefit of the doubt.”

Since last week, we’ve learned the names of  several black men who were killed by cops across the country including Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Alva Braziel and Delrawn Small. The details and implications have been tough to process. One thing that can’t be ignored, however, is that if these men were white, they would very likely still be alive today.

On Friday, Twitter user Matt Edelstein revived the hashtag #WhitePrivilegeMeans(first tweeted in 2014) to educate and call out the ugly realities that people of color deal with every day that white people don’t have to.

“I decided to resurrect the tag while the topic was being made hot by the Alton, Philando and Dallas horrors,” Edelstein told Mic. “I felt it was a splendid teaching moment and that tag simply had to be resurrected right now, while the topic was very germane. Especially since the Dallas shooting was giving the #bluelivesmatter crackpot police apologists a chance to seize the narrative.”

Other tweeters, both white and people of color, followed suit uncovering the struggles people of color face that white people are immune, and sometimes blind, to. Their tweets are chillingly accurate.

*****

Readers: “White privilege means getting away with murdering black men.” White privilege means being able to run down the street without a cop stopping you thinking you did something bad.” “White privilege means not needing a reason to shoot a black man.”  #WhitePrivilegeMeans.

What are you tweeting?

Blog me. 

Tim: I know exactly what she’ll do if she becomes president. All I know is she will be president of this United States…..way!!!Deal with it.

Reza: Ahaha! Every time I read these Melania quotes I start cracking up. Yours was no different. Thanks.

Helena 1: Always nice to see you here. I echo your words. Thanks.

Hilary: Thanks for posting about our Hillary. I’m thrilled too.

Bill: I couldn’t agree with you more. Love the Warriors. Can’t wait till the season begins!

Dafne: Love it. Madaline came to mind as I watched the trailer. She was a kick ass Girlz just like Wonder Woman. I sure miss her and her cadre. I look forward to seeing it on the big screen. Thanks for posting.

Carlos: That news doesn’t surprise me. Sickening to protect the murderers.  It may mean we need to spread the word through social media, and hope the videos go viral if the media opts to censor. I’ll do my best to post it here.

 Good Sunday Morning! 

Wonderful Women of The World, from Global Fund For Women:

9 inspiring Muslim women shattering stereotypes

Now more than ever—in light of increased hate speech, discriminatory language, and damaging stereotypes about Muslims—we want to elevate the diverse and vibrant art and voices of Muslim women from around the world to emphasize Muslim women cannot be defined. Muslim women are bold, creative, courageous, diverse, and dynamic. Muslim women are doctors, teachers, mothers, human rights activists, artists, journalists, dancers, and so much more.

Together, let’s get loud to shatter damaging stereotypes about Muslims in the United States and worldwide. Explore some of the powerful work and words from Muslim women artists, activists, photographers, and leaders through work featured in our MUSLIMA: Muslim Women’s Art & Voicescampaign.

These 9 Muslim women are challenging negative images and portrayals, defying labels and definitions, and breaking down harmful walls—just by being themselves.

LaRita Dixon, USA

“In this work, I wanted to show the fun side of Muslims, to show people that we are just like everyone else.”

Hijabis.

Haafiza Sayed, UAE/India

“My Muslim woman is amongst the millions of unsung and often ignored Muslim women in global societies. These are women that are strong, liberated, awakened in all senses, exercising their rights, voicing their opinions; they are the leaders, educators, doctors, writers, artist, activists and so on.”

The Invisible Muslima.

Nadia Helmy Ahmed, Denmark

“I try to challenge the cultural discourse about what Muslim women should act like. And exhibit leadership through my sport and encourage other women to be strong norm breakers.”

Fighting Against Cultural and Religious Discourses.

Rajae el Mouhandiz, Morocco/Algeria/The Netherlands

“I have had to deal with Muslim music labels not wanting to promote me because I am a woman and didn’t wear hijab… I believe that pop culture and songwriting in Muslim culture—just like in all other cultures—are great vehicles to use as a way to express yourself, your search for your unique character and identity, and to share ideas with your peers and the world. Pop culture has always be a catalyst, and has proven to be very effective tool for cultural diplomacy or cultural rebellion.”

Watch Rajae’s music video in Mainstream Muslima.

Soufeina Hamed, Germany

“Being Muslima in a western city is not as bad as some people think. In my experience, it makes you somehow more conscientious, more sensitive, and more self-confident at an early age. When I started to cover myself with a hijab, I felt that from then on, I was representing something bigger than me. I was representing a whole community—a community that is diverse as the humanity itself.”

Less Different.

Kelly Izdihar Crosby, USA

“I’m still touched by the diversity of the Islamic global community and that idea developed into this piece. I decided to create a montage of women in different headscarves and different complexions. I have depicted Muslim women wearing turbans, Turkish hijabs, “traditional” hijabs, stylish wraps, niqabs (face veils) and no hijab. I want to show the audience our beauty and also our diversity in terms of how we outwardly reflect our faith. The mainstream image of Muslim women is quite one dimensional and I think this piece can offer the viewer to an alternative to the current monolithic stereotype.”

Tapestry of Sisterhood.

Senna Ahmad, USA

“I looked through the crowd and noticed such a variety of people there, all with different backgrounds and stories, all different races and different ages. What I thought before I took this picture was how amazing it is that this one belief could unite so many of us, no matter what differences we had. It was while having this thought that I saw this little girl sitting on the floor staring right at me. “Purity” was the only word that came to mind when her piercing eyes met mine. A child’s thoughts are so unsullied by the world around them and the less-than-twenty-second interaction I had with this girl made me believe that our hope truly does lie in hands of those younger than us. They are the ones with big dreams and hopeful thoughts. If ever faith is lost in you, look into the eyes of a child, you will find your faith there.”

A Hopeful Prayer on the Night on Power.

Zainab Khan, USA/Afghanistan/Pakistan

”I firmly believe that through peace, love, respect, and mutual understanding, we will be able to provide a helping hand that will empower each woman to reach out like a sister to one another. In today’s world, where our chances of connectivity are much higher, it truly is possible to create a culture of sisterhood and unity. As we share our experiences and voices interactively throughout the globe, we receive the chance not just to bring visibility, but to breathe life into our stories.”

Sisters.

Saba Chaudhry Barnard, USA

“For years, I tortured myself trying to blend in, trying to stand out, trying to “find myself” within these little boxes. But it’s impossible. Instead, I make art that is, I hope, less categorized and reductive, reflecting that the boundaries we create between us and inside of us are, in fact, an illusion. So my work is not so much about defining Muslim women, or anyone, but undefining them. About undefining ourselves and connecting to that universal something that exists within all of us.”

Sophia (American Beauty) in An-Noor.

Together, let’s do some undefining. Share these powerful pieces of art and words from Muslim women to stand with them as they shatter stereotypes and challenge discrimination.

Explore more voices and art from Muslim women around the world in MUSLIMA.

*****

Readers: Posting these beautiful works of art by these women brings me joy. I HOPE they bring you joy too.

Happy Sunday! 

Peace & Love

Good Morning!

From the Daily Kos:

Hillary Clinton taps Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate

Multiple outlets are now reporting this. From the New York Times:

Hillary Clinton named Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to be her running mate Friday, according to a senior campaign official, selecting a battleground state politician with working-class roots and a fluency in Spanish, traits that she believes can bolster her chances to defeat Donald J. Trump in November.

Mrs. Clinton’s choice came after her advisers spent months poring over potential vice-presidential candidates who could lift the Democratic ticket in an unpredictable race against Mr. Trump.

In the end, Mrs. Clinton decided Mr. Kaine, 58, a former governor of Virginia who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and speaks fluent Spanish, had the qualifications and background and the personal chemistry with her to make the ticket a success.

Clinton is expected to make a formal announcement either today or tomorrow in Florida.

A notable vote of confidence from Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards (who also happens to be the daughter of late Texas Gov. Ann Richards):

🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸

Readers: I was secretly hoping that Hillary would pick Elizabeth Warren, although I knew that would not have been a good move. If women are having a hard time supporting a woman for president, having two women on the ticket would’ve been risky (Some day!), and we can’t afford being risky when the stakes are so high.

Picking the man that she did was a smart choice. Tim Kaine is a strong supporter of women, women’s rights, and women’s health. He supported Clinton before when she was running against Obama – they’re good friends. Plus he’s a popular Senator from Virginia, a swing state. That certainly is a bonus when it comes to voting time – Hey, Virginia voters: Swing on over to the Dem side! He’s got the qualifications and the background - and he’ll be a great support to her again this time around…this time when she wins.

I’m excited.

Thoughts? Blog me.
