Social Justice and the Indoctrination of Lonnie Chavis

Editor in Chief, DL Mullan 
Teaching vs Indoctrination / Black Identity / Racism
__________________________________________

How we raise our children matters. Our culture has a responsibility to create mature, motivated, and meaningful members of our society. It is our legacy; it is our immortality. 

Social justice has ruined it. 

Instead of "innocent until proven guilty" and "reasonable doubt," social justice has injected: selfishness, outrage, and the lynch mob mentality. The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic built on the standard of individual rights. What has been seen in the streets the last few weeks is nothing more than a pathetic excuse for a mob rule collectivist revolution. Social justice has planted the seeds of resentment and discontent in our youth and their parents are to blame. 

When the United Nations' Agenda 21 introduced "social justice" into our vocabulary, a treaty the United States never ratified by the Senate, and Common Core was adopted by school districts. So now our cities are megaregions of pollution and crime. Children are taught about sex, sexual orientation, and race relations instead of competency in science, math, reading, art, and music. Agenda 21 in this respect has laid waste to our country and culture, but that was the communist goals of the plan. 

First, children do not have the mental awareness to judge the college level concepts being posed to them in elementary, middle, and high schools. We do not give a seven year old the keys to their parent's car for very good reason: children do not have the motor, cognitive, or emotional skill set to handle such responsibility. This logical and scientifically verifiable view of child development is common knowledge that has been thrown away in order to create reactionary adults who cannot think through problems, understand science, or function as a mature adult. Social justice has created people with chips on their shoulders ready to lash out at any perceived indifference or injustice, even if those issues are manufactured. 

Having a chip on your shoulder is different than having confidence, parents are confusing the two to the detriment of their children's futures. When a child is raised with a negative attitude about people, places, and ideas, then that grown adult cannot hold a job because no one wants to be around their "attitude." The social and interpersonal skills one has to have in order to function in a positive manner in society escapes them, but they are too busy blaming other people for race, sex, and/or orientation that these pseudo-adults miss the fact that their problem is really about their negative behavior. These people become lost in their own deception: depressed, ridiculed, and lack the maturity to rise above the mind control of the hive mind. 

But that is the point: control of the human mind. 

We have people in the streets who have no concept of the world around them, yet these individuals are the first in line to demonstrate, riot, loot, kill, maim, and destroy all in the name of justice. Yeah: Just Us, all right. Those people are the real racists in our society. That is the lynch mob. 

As grandparents and parents, we must teach our children at the appropriate time, and at the appropriate age how the world works. Teaching allows children to grow confident and knowledgeable. Indoctrination creates eternal children unable to grow into adulthood because their world has been turned inward on itself instead of outward as a reflection of ourselves. 

So what are you Mr. Lonnie Chavis? An inward reactionary? Or, are you a confident young man? 

This excerpt is from your letter is it not?
I can recall the time when I realized there are not a lot of people that look like me on these Hollywood sets and asked my mom where all the Black people were. I also remember being invited to events but then being treated very poorly by security or entrance checkers, like I wasn’t supposed to be there, until I had a publicist to announce me.
I think of going to Hollywood events with other actors and actresses where I was constantly asked if I’m the boy from Black-ish or the boy from Stranger Things. I guess we all look alike since we are all Black. Can you imagine being confused for any other Black kid just because you all share the same profession? I can.
First, Mr. Chavis, (yes, I know you are 12 and I am 47, but it is customary to address people according to formal titles when there is no familiarity between them), people of African descent only make up around 13% of the American population. So out of 320,000,000 approximate people in the United States, black people make up about 35,000,000. It's not racism. It's just population statistics. 

I have been in the film and theater industry as well as known some musicians. Back stages and events are secure places for the actors' sake due to stalkers and other security concerns. As a minor, an adult should accompany you into events, especially when alcohol is served. It is not only proper etiquette; it might be the law. 

Since I have done an international trailer for a friend and it was released right before Comic-Con one year, I know what is it when people go: don't I know you? I have been mistaken for people and I am white. I guess because we all look alike too. 

Mr. Chavis, your parents are doing you a huge disservice. You appear bright, articulate, but not well informed. Time will give you wisdom through experience as well as education to understand the world is not as disagreeable as you might believe for now. Are there rude people? Yes. Are there racists? Yes. Do you have to let them taint your world view? No.

A better man shrugs off the negative and only looks forward to the positive out of people and life. When you worry about how a person perceives you, then you are giving them all of your personal power. When you are confident in your knowledge and abililities through education and experience, then you retain your power. 

Activitists have a habit of giving all of their power away and wonder why nothing ever changes. 

Confident people who can navigate life: change the world for the better. People who have changed the world without being the problem but instead the solution are people you should get to know through personal study:

Martin Luther King, Jr. 
Mohandas Gandhi 
Mother Teresa 
The Dalai Lama
Albert Einstein
Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Katherine Johnson (NASA)
Amelia Earhart
Oprah Winfrey
Malala Yousafzai 
Margaret Cavendish
Maya Angelou
John Lennon 
Abraham Lincoln
Socrates
Alexander Hamiliton 
George Washington 
Booker T. Washington
Bob Ross
Dwight D. Eisenhower 
Leonardo DaVinci 
Brandon Tatum
Candice Owens 

Find out who they were and why they did what they did to make them historical figures. Why race was not the factor. The factor was their unique perspective, abilities, and strengths to overcome adversity. 

Not to create more adversity. 

While you are researching and learning, always be familiar with everyone's point of view. That action will keep you grounded to reality. Especially people you may not agree with, that will give you perspective in life. 

Social justice is not about justice, but to control how you perceive the world so that you can be controlled and contained by politicians, the media, and megacorporations. I know you are smarter than falling for that type of trap. Now you have some references to help guide you into a wider world of perspective.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Our Social Problems Stem from White Apologists

Staff Writer, DL Mullan 
Social Justice / White Apologists

___________________________________

Stop it. 

Stop apologizing. Some Americans are not only tired of the white apology tour, we want a refund on our tickets. Apologizing because you helped create Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States of America become wealthy, enlightened, and cultured is not only embarrassing, it is down right mentally ill. 

Would you make black people apologize for Africa? Indians apologize for India? Hispanics apologize for Spain? Latin Americans apologize for Costa Rica, Brazil, or Venezuela... okay, Venezuela is a bad example. Someone should apologize for that poor illustration, and Cuba. 

Anyway, why are white people so enthused, conditioned, and radicalized to apologize for everything? The solar maximum, also known as Global Warming, needs their apology called Climate Change. The coming solar minimum, also known as the Maunder's Minimum, will undoubtedly need their apology because it's still Climate Change! 

Then there is capitalism that made the west rich, that needs white apologies and dismantling. White culture and history needs apologies and dismantling. And, now whites need to apologize en masse for a death whites are not responsible for and so the police force needs dismantling.

Total mental illness. 

If you do not believe that whites are being targeted for racism, do a litmus test. Everything that has been listed change the descriptor. Instead of white people, replace the word with black, brown, yellow, or red. Does it sound racist now? 

Of course all those situations are racist. Even the term: white privilege is racist. America is a white owned and operated country. Whites only make up 8-10% of the world population. So between Indigenous peoples of the world and those people of African descent, "white" people are a scarce breed along with them. 

But whites created great civilizations and invited others in to join. If you are a self starter, self motivator, and self sufficient, you too can share in our wealth, culture, and educational system.

Go to Saudi Arabia and see if you get that type of treatment. You won't especially if you are non-Muslim, a woman, or not Arabic.

So the majority member races come to minority countries and tell white people they are bad. Have white people made mistakes? Of course, white people are human and humans are not perfect, but these historical events are now cause to abolish white people. 

When we are gone, what will you have? Not our need to build civilizations? Create technologies? Advance the human condition? Go to the Moon and eventually Mars? 

Have your people done any of that? Except when America wasn't pulling our weight these last few decades the Globalists kneecapped our abilities to be leaders and innovators? So we had to rely on others to do our building and exploring for us?

Americans love the help but we should be more self-reliant in our intrinsic quests. We should be helping others become all that they can be and not watching as the world plummets into communism, where no one succeeds. We should be leading by example.

What example are you leading by?

Why are you on your knees apologizing again? 

If you want to solve social problems, white apologies are not the answer. The answers lie with education instead of indoctrination, opportunity for all, and a vibrant, wealthy middle class. 

Those examples of non-monopolistic capitalism, fair play, and refined culture are the answers. 

Anything else is just racism.

Movie Night: The Choice is Ours

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Psychology / Behavior 
___________________________________



What makes up the behavior of a human being? The mindset of scarcity is destroying the world. So can scientific principles be used to solve the problems created by money and politics?

But is technology the answer? Or, is technology in charge of our world just as dangerous as human greed? 

The film asks the questions about our current system and offers a new system to replace the old, but is a new system based on methodology superior? Or can a combination of the old and new foster a better world without losing ourselves in a global collective?

Insufficient Punishment: Why We Love Keith Olbermann

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Sports / Society
__________________________________

Keith explains how sports sexism let the NFL get away with suspending a wife-beater for two games when an on-field stomp got another player a five-game suspension.
What has our society, culture come to? What are we really about? 

What a culture allows in its individual conduct against others displays what is important to that specific culture. In this case, a sports star attacks his girlfriend and only gets suspended for two whole games. What does that say about how sports organizations and their employees feel about half of their fan base?

Mr. Olbermann makes frank what our society has allowed ourselves to become. 

This commentary is not only about sports but about a social dialogue that is lacking in our basic discussions. 

He may not be on a political network anymore, yet Mr. Olbermann takes time to make robust a critical analysis of what is wrong with our world. Women and men should be respectful and dignified to each other. Our culture should not exploit or reward violence against one another.

We have grown into a nation of irrational sycophants. 

The reason why the VDP Gazette does not adulate over sports and why we love Keith Olbermann.

Achoo! Don't Catch a Parent's Worse Nightmare: Excuses of Affluenza

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Parenting / Society
______________________________

"I want to give my kids what I didn't have." 

This statement can be heard from many parents from the Generation X crowd. Society gives kids trophies for just showing up. Hard work is eliminated in lieu of removing competition from sports, games, and life. 

"We don't want to harm their self-esteem." Are you kidding? Competition, success and failure, is what creates self-esteem. 

Now these children have grown up feeling entitled to first place when they did not bother to even sign up for the marathon. 

These quasi adults cannot function. Coping skills have never been taught to them. They skate through life living in their parents home without jobs or responsibilities. 

The role of the parent is not to give a child everything you didn't have; parents are supposed to give their children the tools, emotional and mental, to be successful in the world. The world outside of the home is formidable. The world is harsh and uncaring. 

Parents need to teach their children how to handle injustice and sociopathic behavior found at work. Teach how to correct these errors with kindness and resolve. For denial of justice to one person, is a denial of justice to all. 

Instead parents have not set boundaries or limits to their child's wants, needs, or expectations. As parents, do we fail our children because:
  1. We don’t understand the future implications of giving them everything they want right now
  2. We want them to have the life we didn’t
  3. We are afraid to tell our children no because we know there will be backlash or because we think they will feel loved if we say yes.
  4. We want them to fit in with their peers because it’s hard to be different.
  5. We feel it’s often easier just to give in
  6. We struggle with a bit of affluenza ourselves
In your life, have you failed yourself by exhibiting these behaviors:
  1. Do you frequently buy things you do not really need?
  2. When shopping, are you unable to control how much you spend?
  3. Do you envy the lifestyles of the rich and famous?
  4. Do you feel bad when your neighbors have things you do not?
  5. Do you measure yourself by what others have?
  6. Do you ever use shopping as a means of escape?
  7. Do you use your possessions to impress others?
  8. Do you compare your possessions with what your peers have? If so, do you experience a feeling of superiority that yours are better?
  9. Do you speak often about the things you want?
  10. Do you find yourself complaining about the things you want but cannot afford?
  11. Do you think of spending your money more often than saving it?
  12. Do you often think your life would be more complete if you had more money and possessions?
So as a person and a parent are you too suffering from the signs of Affluenza? Perhaps adults need to reign in their negative tendencies and be a good role model for their children. 

Maybe the best solution to the situation is to turn off television, start living in the moment, stop wanting what others have, and become a real person. The first start is to tell yourself: no. Then your friends: no. Then your children: no.

No, it's not feasible. No, it's not responsible. No, we cannot afford that. No, that's not happening ever. 

Society and culture vis-a-vis the television, movies, and magazines are not there to raise you or your children. It's entertainment. A fiction wrapped in a pretty bow.

What is real is knowing your limits and setting them for you and your family.

Affluenza is not an excuse. It's not even a word. It was made up to keep a child who murdered four people out of prison. 

Don't catch what doesn't exist. Be a good parent and just say: "no." No is a powerful tool that raises great adults.
