I don't care about black lives.

 Now I know this one is going to get me a lot of hate mail, but that's ok. I expect it from closed minded fools. And there are a lot of them out there. 

Black lives do not matter to me. Why you ask. Because I never gave it a thought. I presumed that most folks of African ancestry were just like me. The folks I grew up with here in Grand Rapids. The ones that were my class mates, my friends, my buddies.  The ones I worked with side by side in the Military and after that in the factories and shops here in West Michigan. Just good hard working people trying to raise their families. I didn't even consider them to be black. They were fellow Americans.  To us, the "black people" as we called them in our discussions were the lazy folks looking for government handouts so they wouldn't have to work for a living like the rest of us. And what my friends said who were of African ancestry, was even worse. They clearly distinguished themselves from those "others", from the (N word)'s as they called them.

But with the rise of the new political movements of BLM and Antifa, I had to stop and take another look at these people. 

It is clear that there is a deep problem within the African community in this country. It divides them into 2 categories.  Those who have adapted and are working hard to contribute to this great country, who appreciate its many opportunities and who are blaming no one but themselves for their own failures.

Then there is the other group. They are now claiming that if you do not think the way they do, if you do not agree with them, that you are not black. So they have re-defined what the word Black means. Ok. Fine with me. 

This group of losers goes around blaming others for their failures.  They use their skin color as an excuse for their misery and failures. Claim others are racist when it is they who are the racists.  They think they have a right to steal other peoples property or from businesses such as Shops and stores. Dollar stores are a big target for many of them. They think police are the enemy instead of accepting the fact that their own behavior gets them into trouble because they constantly violate the nations laws. 

Today this group glorifies thugs, criminals, murders and rapists.  They approve the rioting and burning down of our cities, many properties of which belong not to white people but to African Americans! They blame the cops for arresting a long time criminal who is resisting arrest and about to grab a weapon to fight and do harm to the police who are just doing their job. The thug escalates the arrest to the point where they get seriously hurt, or dead.  And the cops get blamed. Not the thug. They then use this as an excuse to become even more violent.  This has to end.

Local news all over the country is full of stories about them. Break ins at Cell phone stores and Gun stores are well over 90 percent committed by this group. Shootings where I live used to happen once every 3 or 4 months. Today its nearly a nightly occurrence.  In some cities the shooting rate is over 50 per weekend and death rate is 20+ per weekend. Thug on thug crimes. 

This one small group, with in the group, is responsible for over 80 percent of the nations crimes. They kill more of their own kind than any other group.  And yet they blame others for their problems, and blame an event in history that happened over 100 years before. 

They NEVER accept responsibility for their own behavior.  This has to change.   

So BLM was started, and its not even about black lives. If it was they would be addressing these issues by these few within their communities that are committing all these crimes.  

Some local government have allowed rioting and destruction to go on for weeks and months. There is no excuse for that failure. These nightly riots must be stopped and government has the tools and the authority to do so. But too many local leaders want it to happen. They must, because they keep allowing it to happen. 

We need tougher laws on rioters. Stiffer penalties and maybe we need to start looking at the ultimate punishment of removal of Citizenship and removing them from the country, telling them to go live somewhere else. 

So I don't care about black lives.  Either they want to live in peace by the simple laws this great nation has, or they need to leave or get thrown out of it. We don't need them here.  Then those of us who remain can get on with living our lives in peace, in friendship, in community and not even think about what color a person's skin is as we continue to make this the greatest country on Earth. 

Tired of comcast xfinity robots.

Why won't xfininity talk to us?

Have you tried talking to a comcast or xfinity HUMAN worker lately? 

I don't think they exist anymore.  Last month I spent 2 hours on the phone trying to get one.  It took me about 15 tries before I realized I have to jump thru hoops talking to a programmed idiot. (a robot, or Artificial intellegent program). 

If you go to their website its the same thing.. they say you are talking to a live agent.. No agent is that stupid. 

I am tired of talking to robots

I am tired of texting (this is texting) to robots. If I have to type it all out, its texting. And I had to do that every time the website "agent" passed me on to another agent. 4 hours later I was assured the problem would be repaired.. 

30 days later, NOPE!  Problem still remains. 

You see I relocated in July of 2020. I moved 2 blocks. I took my xfinity gear with me and installed it. It is up and running as you can tell.. However, on the xfinity site, it says my services here are disconnected. 

They are? This address got a new account number. The old address and account are still listed on the xfinity page, and I cannot get it removed. 

This account says zero balance. I have tried to make a payment, but it won't take one. So if i mail in a payment, where does that money go? 

Yesterday I got a bill in the mail.. Guess what? The account number is a 3rd number.. HUH?!  

So how do I resolve this problem seeing how I cannot get to a human to VOICE TALK TO, when I call xfinity? Any ideas? 

Update: 2 days after I posted this I again called Xfinity and got the robot. However this time it was different. It checked my account and asked if I wanted to pay the bill. I said NO. Then it said something like  "we need to take a closer look at your account" and passed me off to an english speaking american. OMG!  It took just 3 minutes to figure out what happened. Then that person passed me off to their supervisor who had to approve the changes needed to fix the problem.. So here is what happened.

Pay close attention to your account numbers.

In july I moved just 2 blocks but that was from one subburb to another. 2 different "cities". 

First I had the old account number (lets call it 0101).  I took my gear and installed it at the new location, which the generated a new account number ( 0202).  THEN, because of local rules and regulations the "package" I had at the old address was not available at the new address, so they had to start a new package which generated a 3rd account (0303). Now on xfinity page, I was show just the first 2 accounts, one at old address and one at new address and was NOT shown the 3rd account. Why? Because the technician who set it up failed to inform me that I had to finish setting up the account. 

I never new the 3rd one existed. Well during this phone call the Xfininty tech emailed me a link, which I followed and finished setting up that 3rd account. Then I logged on to xfinity again and yes, all 3 are now shown, with account 3 being the primary account. It won't let me unlink or undo the first 2, but thats ok with me as long as they don't get any new charges. 

What a frigging pain in the tail.. all that headache and frustration for nothing.
