BLACKS TORTURED "UNDER COLOR OF" LAW

Afro-German, Gert Schramm, a 15-year-old boy was arrested by the Gestapo under Rassenchande (nazi racial law) for the protection of German blood because his father was black. Gert Schramm was born in Erfurt, in Nazi Germany to African-American engineer, Jack Brankson and German woman Marianne Schramm. In 1944, Gert was sent to Buchenwald concentration and became number 49489 tattoed on his left arm with the designation Stateless Negro. He was subject to brutal torture and starvation. In 1945, he was with the Jews, and marginalized groups liberated by the American military. Sadly, around 2020, a petition to name a street in the city of Erfurt in his honor failed because no one sign the petition.

In May 2020, George Floyd was asphyxiated by law enforcement officers "under color of " law.

Lest we forget:

First, they came for the socialist, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.

Then, they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then, they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then, they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me. - Martin Niemoller

ANNOUNCEMENT

Twenty-four-year-old Otto Duke, the President of the Tenant Rights Association PAC will run for public office in 2024. At this point, the daily life of the working middle class has not improved but declined under the current state administration. Noteworthy, crime is rampant. Surprisingly, It is reported in the state, everything is free, just walk in and grab merchandise and walk out. Needless to say, it pays to break the laws in California.

Essentially then, I will focus on public safety, aggressively policing streets and the transit system. Advocate for tougher sentencing. Big Brother surveillance technologies. Stopping the rotating doors in jails/prisons. Involuntarily institutionalize homeless people if they pose harm just to themselves and others. Importantly, creating opportunities for the younger generation and promoting desired policy outcomes.

The campaign message to voters is to stop voting for the same elected officials who don't give a damn about your safety. They have no vision; no plans and nothing will change except regurgitating the same stuff. Suffice it to say, what we still getting wrong, the liberals are a can of worms focusing on top-down and not bottom-up. Progressive is a perspective. The centrists are beholden to political entrepreneurs. That said, I am Otto Duke, a pragmatist, no quarter given, none asked.
