True ethic(s) is NOT about how others are behaving...

True ethic(s) is NOT about how others are behaving, rather how YOU are behaving.

If your ethical behavior and supporting argument are not convincing enough, then no amount of force will ensure it whether by peer pressuring, public dissing, social cancelling, street rioting, occupational dismissing, political legislating, economic regulating, executive ordering, judicial interpreting even by threat of unjust imprisoning, inhumane executing and monstrous warmongering.

Upon resorting to force, then one's ethical behavior and supporting argument have well digressed to presumptuous even perverse behavior and arbitrary even maniacal argument. Logically, there is no other reasonable explanation.

Have not history taught us anything? The desire to be free of others' force eventually prevails sooner or later, during this year or next, this lifetime or next, this century or next... freedom will prevail once again.

OF COURSE black lives matter equally to lives brown, red, yellow, white, etc.

If one is asking whether I support the sentiment and ethic that black lives matter equally to lives brown, red, yellow, white, etc, then I would logically, ethically, passionately say; OF COURSE!
Anyone who actually knows me would understand my uppercase and exclamation as genuine. Additionally, regardless of ethnicity, who with any sense of humanity would consider and answer otherwise.

But if one is asking whether I support another organized totalitarian ideology behind strategies of force cleverly advertised as the aforementioned or some other sentiment and ethic, with the covert and overt intent to coerce then impose upon my person, people, preference, persuasion, profession, possession and property, then I would logically, ethically, passionately say; NO!
And again, anyone who actually knows me would understand my uppercase and exclamation as genuine. Additionally, regardless of ethnicity, who with any sense of humanity would consider and answer otherwise. 

Racism exist, absolutely, constantly persisting within every race. With that said, Racism cannot be systemic on it's own volition. For Racism as well any other ill character are systemic only when Statism is systemic if you will.  Politically diminish then disable Statism, then Racism and other human flaws will be politically diminished then disabled. It is that inescapably simple.

Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).

To quote from Neil Jordan's 1996 film Michael Collins

To quote from Neil Jordan's 1996 film Michael Collins regarding today's tyranny with slight modifications in uppercase...

We must act as if INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM is a fact. We defeat GOVERNMENT'S TYRANNY by ignoring it.

Note:
The unmodified quote as stated by Éamon de Valera played by actor Alan Rickman; "We must act as if the (Irish) Republic is a fact. We defeat the British Empire by ignoring it."

Masks smudged and stained...

Masks smudged and stained with intellectual absurdity and environmental inconsistency are now seen discarded along highways and byways, sidewalks and parking lots, thus disgustingly littering the city/suburban landscape. I recommend the same strict ban as imposed for plastic straws, plastic can rings, etc.

Since "everybody wants to rule the world" according to their own preference and persuasion, why would one presumptuous imposition be regarded any more or less than another.

Quote by Richard Feynman (physicist, 1918-1988)

"Science is a culture of doubt... We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress."

Richard Feynman (physicist, 1918-1988)

Oft times when neighborhood-watching heavy near the midnight hour...

Call me odd, eccentric but don't call me fuckin' common... Oft times when neighborhood-watching heavy near the midnight hour, with fine whiskey on rocks (tonight , Minor Case sherry cask finished rye) and good tobacco in pipe (Black Knight by Cross Roads / Horn Lake MS), I sincerely dig this sort of melodic, poetic solace...

Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).

More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 167

Most likely to be published later this winter of 2020/2021, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (see above link for other installments of The Rescissionist). The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 167 - The Rescissionist / Part 1

      Various references cite federal regulations fast approaching 200,000 pages, as correspondingly aligned and additionally combined with criminal laws, tax codes, executive orders, directive policies, administrative bureaucracies, enforcing agencies as well near endless forms, applications, licenses, registries, stamps, seals, fees, fines, etc. Any exhaustive attempt to tally then total would be proportionately improbable to fully and accurately calculate as oppressively burdensome to completely and legally abide.

      To make matters worse, most if not all laws, statues, codes, regulations and orders are soon followed by legal, judicial explanations, exceptions, exemptions and expansions, always compounding then complicating intentionally or unintentionally, transforming what “might” have been some glint of consistency thus hint of simplicity, certainly toward blatant inconsistency thus flagrant complexity. The word “might” is rightly emphasized, for often legalities when first instituted possess some degree of deliberate inconsistency thus commensurate complexity for the benefit of the politically favored; corporations, unions, interest groups, political activists, economic brackets, social classes, electoral blocs, religious sects, academic elites and appallingly, ethnic distinctions as well government itself.

      As already suggested (see No. 165), politically inherent to these legalities, either the designated or undesignated is tolerated, allowed, accepted, favored, privileged and/or benefited, versus the other not tolerated , not allowed, not accepted, not favored, not privileged and/or not benefited even proactively harmed else terminated. Ironically upon some political opportunity, a targeted law’s well intended inherency, is conveniently declared a surprisingly shocking loophole, although the condemned inconsistency remains, cleverly promulgated as properly remedied while purposefully exasperated by simply more of the same.

Bricks and sticks, known to fix while prone to trick

Per bureaucratic jesters, festered by body politic

Lured then bestirred further by covetous murmurs

Perverted by academic charmers strutting as nurturers
