The System is Working Exactly the Way It Was Originally Designed
by Schmeeka Simpson
I was surprised... to see others surprised, that a country that has never elected a Woman President of ANY Color…didn’t elect a Woman President… of Color. Please let’s be honest with ourselves and each other and acknowledge that this system is not designed for a Woman to lead it. They are absolutely right when they say a Woman would destroy this system. Simply because this system is designed purposefully and intentionally on the ideologies, predilections, desires, goals and whims of a Man. Women were never included in this system, in its conception, origin story, religious context, legalities, construction, or any of that... and were never meant to be.
This system is for Men, built by Men to be a Man’s world. Particularly in the United States, meant to be a White Man’s world but globally a Male system around the world of whatever color, race or ethnicity. The sooner we understand that the quicker we move on to the next step of evolution to a more evolved balanced system, built in the image of both Women and Men, Feminine and Masculine, diverse in color and function… like Mother Earth herself.
Once we stop trying to fix a system that isn’t broken and understand that it is unable to evolve because this is how it is. A TV cannot be a lawnmower, without destroying the fundamental purpose and function of the Television or the lawn mower. Similarly, a slave system will never grant freedom because that is not what it is designed and created to do. An inherently slave-based system will produce the fruits of slavery, rather it be slavery based on sex, gender, race, class, status, wealth, wage, prison status, nationality etc.
“You shall know a tree by the fruit that it bears.”
This is a system that has sown the seeds of hate, division, fear, racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, status quo’s, and phobias of all kinds etc. A system that has watered these seeds from “Time to Time to with the Blood of Patriots and Traitors alike” and has called it the Tree of Liberty. This system is not acting in error, misjudgment, or ignorance. This system is the direct product of the original intent of its manufacturers and doing what it was designed to do.
So, what’s the next steps? If the system cannot be changed, what do you do? What do we do? Well we can start by understanding that WE THE PEOPLE today perpetuate this unjust system EVERY SINGLE DAY by pretending we can fix it, it’s almost a matter of weaponized incompetence at this point. We pretend we can change it through a million different performative ways instead of actually withdrawing, denouncing and look for ways to replace it. We affirm this system every day by participating in it. We egg on the system by validating it with energy, time and people power. How do we stop validating and participating in a system without losing the aspects of it we like? Losing our creature comforts, the superiority mentality, the “freedoms” of choosing Burger King from McDonalds?
My answer to that is, when do we examine our concepts of Freedom? When do we sit down and imagine what a Free system looks like? What does Freedom actually mean to you? We will go to war over G.old O.il and D.rugs, but will we defend our neighbors if they come for them? Will we defend our daughters, sisters and wives from the ideologies of those that try to dictate their choices? Will we stand our ground to defend love and humanity? If the worst comes to worst in our minds and this system is destroyed by any administration, have we put any thought into what a righteous replacement would be like? Do we have at least concepts of a plan of what a truly free United States would like if a Project 2025 does destroy this current system? What kind of system can we create where a Woman of Color could not only lead in but THRIVE IN and use her full gifts and talents to heal and bring a diverse country on a diverse planet together?
It seems that we have forgotten that any and every system created has been built off the backs of former systems and life on this planet has still continued. We Are the People, and the Power is in the People. The Change is in the People, The Future is in the People. It’s time to make connections with those who embody the change we went to see. Let’s step out of the boxes and mindsets that we’ve been brainwashed in and be bold with leading the way to a new future. If we believe in each other and ourselves, we know that we are capable of surviving anything and creating something new in 2025 and beyond. So, let’s be in community, let’s be encouraged, be true to our values.
We are the love that a hateful system produced… so what kind of love would a loving system produce? What does a system sewed in seeds of love look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? What does the food taste like? What does its educational, medicinal, judicial, etc… systems look like? How do we replace a bad system with a good one if we can’t even conceptualize what a good system is? The reality of a new administration destroying this system is that we now have an opportunity forced upon us to create a new one. One that is originally designed to free and uplift THE PEOPLE. If you truly understand that an unjust system will be destroyed in its unjustness, we can actually see the end from the beginning. We can see a glimmer of hope in the darkness because it’s always darkest before the dawn. We can be of good courage and look for ways to create a new system out of the lessons of the old, that works for us and not against us. Every obstacle is actually an opportunity, and we have nothing to lose but our chains.
See you all in 2025.
