White Woman in Powerlessness.

We all start our day in the morning. The question Life asks of us is "How?"

"It is the morning time. Clarity. It comes in the morning arising with the morning clarity, a sense of a presence in the air and the possibility of a good day. The question to ask is: "What will I do with this chance?"- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2/9/16

Ivanka Trump attends function at Trump International Hotel in Washington DC that took over the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave. between the White House and the Capital! 

Ivanka Trump attending function at Trump International Hotel in Washington DC that took over the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave. between the White House and the Capital, glows in a state of unawareness DC residents recognize and don't respect! She is unaware of what the Old Post Office was to Black DC residents. The Pavilion, as it was named when it became a commercial hub of the city, was a focus for social life. Before that, when it was abandoned, the homeless lived there, and transients found solace there. Prior to that DC residents from the top to the bottom of society and people from Virginia and Maryland gathered here for all kinds of reasons. 

Commerce is not for the president's gain, is not to be center of a presidency. But, in this administration Trump is using his office to make money that his devotees won't take into account as a lack of integrity, but as a clever business practice. Pouring U.S. tax dollars into his pockets when he goes to his resorts on official business is defended by his fan base. It is revelatory what we allow. As a nation, our credibility weakens daily under this administration, but the dumbass notions of white supremacy are allowed to undercut the status we have taken, and earned collectively for a simple and obvious reason. 

It is pointless to point this out to his base. Let them live with the inevitable outcome some decades from now, some of us say in disgust. But, being that dismissive is ignorant. Anything done by another affects us all. Citizens have to be conscious and mature enough to care at this level and white Americans have to enlarge their view of their priorities to understand the undercutting effect of their Doctrine of Discovery.
