The Pigment Of Prejudice

 The Pigment of Prejudice

We are all different and being all the same would be very boring. But in today's society and standards people like having the same thing as everyone else. This is also true with how people look.

I cannot understand the fascination of us looking the same as someone else? We are unique, one of a kind. 

This is especially true with women and a contributing factor is due to cosmetic treatments like Botox. Because they have the same injections in certain areas of the face.

But it's like these women want to be in a photo shoot. Amazing lighting, airbrushed and their faces stretched and no wrinkles or a pimple in sight. 

If people want to do that, I'm fine with that. What I'm uncomfortable with is that people complain about AI yet want the same thing as editing software but done to their faces in real life. It goes to show that we are controlled by what fashion and beauty have been denying for years. 

That beauty standards are manufactured to sell things. 

I hated the Maybelline advert! 

“Maybe she was born with it, maybe it's Maybelline?”

So you are only beautiful if you wear makeup?

It is a fake facade but in the end makeup helps us with our confidence but aren't we then just covering up something instead of helping ourselves to feel better on the outside?

It's because we associate our ideals with, if we look better, we feel better, we all are the same and we fit in. 

But under this, is something that is staring us in the face. 

Trump's orange face. 

I don't think it's because of tanning beds as you can see the very bad application of foundation and the line where the makeup artist hasn't blended it very well around the sides of his face. But there is something more sinister to see.

Recently Trump made a comment on his truth social about a jeans ad of a white actress and she was Republican. The jeans would sell very well because she is beautiful! And she is but it's the name of the company he likes, American Eagle. 

He is very simple like that. American and the patriotic bird of America.

Now let's look at a company that makes cars and how Trump didn't like the ad. Why do you ask? Because the new CEO is Indian and the old CEO who retired was white. Accept Jaguar is an Indian owned company Tata Motors LTD.

The problem I have is how people think he is not racist yet complains about people who don't have the same skin colour as him. But, the hypocrisy of wearing a foundation that is 4 shades too dark for his skin tone. 

It begs me to ask a question: why does he wear that colour foundation? To cover something up he doesn't want people to see? Maybe because he's getting old and it was announced Trump was not very well. 

But what is the issue? So ok for him to wear that shade of foundation but people who are different he doesn't like. 

Practice what you preach sir! His racism is showing and his ideals of diversity, equality and inclusion are not in line with what many people feel today.

It's even more to understand why he is wearing makeup yet doesn't like people in the LGBTQ++ community that do.

It's not our sexual preferences or our skin colour that makes you different. It's how we think and feel about each other. We need to stop people like him from thinking he's a better person because he's rich and powerful.

We all have power and riches. But we, the people, already know we already are. Because we know the difference.

Set Truth To Power

 

Trigger Warning

Please be advised that this blog post contains content discussing sensitive topics such as sexual assault, rape, and other forms of sexual violence.

Reader discretion is advised. If you or someone you know has been affected by these issues, please consider seeking support from a professional or a dedicated organization.

We are in a new world where women are taking their power back from sexual harressment, sexual assault and rape. Which started in the #metoo movement. 

It came from an investigation by the New York Times in 2017 that a wealthy A film producer was alleged of sexual harassment of actresses. He invited actress Ashley Judd to his hotel room and asked for a massage. 

Sound familiar? It didn't stop there. He also said that if she accepted his sexual advances he would help her further her career. It came to light that this was an ongoing occurrence many people speaking up about what happened to them but with Ashley having the courage to be named as a victim in the story helped more victims coming forward.

After a long court case he was charged and sent to prison. But he is due back in court (2025) for a retrial of a 2020 conviction as the jury could not come to a verdict on one of his charges.

Women have had to fight for rights at home and in the work force. Back when the suffragettes fought for the right for women to vote.

Women through the ages have been seen as property but not as an equal in society. But this can also be said about how men and how different genders are now speaking up about these crimes. 

They reason I say this is because a woman was helping a man, sexual assault young teenage girls and getting other teenagers to get more victims for him.

The Epstein Files

Back in 2022 Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking and was sentenced to 20 years in prison with her accomplice Jeffery Epstein. He was later found dead in his cell. The conspiracy theories have swelled. But in my opinion I feel he did not want to go to jail for the rest of his life.

Now fast-forward to July 2025 and Trump's election pledge to release the Epstein Files. The DOJ giving a statement saying

Thursday, February 27, 2025

“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi 

Read statement here:

Also the FBI Director Kash Patel

Quote

“The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice,” 

“There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.”

said FBI Director Kash Patel. 

Then the DOJ AG and FBI Director's claim that no further investigation is needed and nothing else would be released?

I am sure that both Bondi and Patel would have to agree on the statement to be released.

This of course started due to AG Bondi saying it was on her desk for review? People thought the client list, what she should have said was that the Epstein file was on her desk when she gave an interview on Fox News.

But thinking about it? This also could help the onslaught of more complex conspiracy theories for the rumor mill and Trump supporters.

Except it didn't go to plan and Trump's election promise was not being met by releasing the Epstein Files. Trump supporters themselves were now growing concerned about the release of the files.

Let's take a step Back In Time

In February of 2024 Governor Ron Destanis signed a bill to release the Grand jury testimony from the 2006 Epstein case. 

In the grand jury case files it states that Epstein sexually assaulted teenage girls and made a plea deal with South Florida federal prosecutors allowing him to escape from more severe charges and prison time. 

It was when victims became aware that they had not been notified of the plea deal or allowed to give victim impact statements to the court.

I then remembered about the FBI raid on Epstein's New York home in 2019 and many hard drives were found including phones, laptops, CD's, etc.

I remember watching the documentary of Jeffery Epstein on Netflix UK. I seem to remember one of the victims, saying that Jeffery video taped people coming in and out of the residence including knowing where the young women were at all times.

I did find the July 2025 FBI memo stating that a mountain of evidence was collected during the raid. This includes hard drives, videos and images of the victims.

In the memo it states no client list! But if law enforcement and the FBI reviewed all the videos on the hard drives, a list could be made if it showed any evidence of sexual crime. What if Epstein had concealed video equipment in the rooms, as plastic boxes for hard drives were found at his New York home but this information was never released.

Then a news report in July 2025 was released that AG Bondi told President Trump he was in the Epstein Files back in May. 

For victims of sexual crimes to come forward, more needs to be done for safety and trained police officers to help victims and to be believed. For a country wide database for law enforcement and federal law enforcement to use in these types of cases. But it takes time to test these rapes kits. Which doesn't give the victims any hope of catching the person who did this to them. I also have to speak for men as this could stop any falsely reported cases.

But moreover the people who committed these crimes need to be held accountable for their actions and prosecuted for longer sentences as the victims of these crimes have everlasting severe mental health problems because of what happened to them. We know this, as one of Epstein's victims died from suicide in April. Her name was Virginia Giuffre and spoke out about the wealthy and high powered people who took advantage of her. It really does say about the quote “set truth to power”.

 

So Yesterday Wasn't A Good Day!

I wasn't feeling all that great due to health problems. I was trying to write but decided to lay down and take a nap. I'm waiting for my operation and my osteoarthritis was playing up. I twisted my ankle just by stepping back.

Then noise! So I said something to the people who were making it. Got told nobody liked me and get my teeth fixed.

I would if I could afford it as I'm working but still have to pay around £500 which is a lot of money.

I don't have credit cards, covid put that to an end.  This why why doing this! To do something I love doing and make a living!

It's this idea that everyone can afford the same thing as everyone else can.

But I take it, do you know why?

Because sometimes that's what happens! Life is not set in a way that everything is your way. But people nowadays get everything at the push of a button.

Being yelled at is nothing I wanted to be a cop here in the UK. But now I think everything has a purpose. I read too many Nancy Drew books as a kid.

I think everything was pushing me to be a writer! I have always liked reading and writing, ever since I was a teenager. Writing stories, playing with my stationery and creating things that have a meaning.

People will say things about you but you know the truth. 

Look at the fact that many copy other people's writing. Many books and scripts are the same arc but different. Changed to suit the never ending trend. Why? Because people want to make money, not create something that is their vision.

Being a writer is about being authentic. I like peace and tranquility. I have had a lot of drama in my life. I didn’t like it. So I decided to write about using my own thoughts and feelings.

Change is good, the truth shall set you free. Why? 

Because my writing is about my endless journey of self discovery and using it as a journal to understand why we think the way we do and the emotional minefield of our lives.

We are not the same as everyone, some are looking for more. 

The Understanding Of What Life Is Like Being A Writer? 

It's about showing others that it's ok! You're not the only ones who have gone through bad times.

It's about explaining to everyone, things will get better but sometimes change has to happen and sometimes you have to stand your ground and say something.

That's who I am!

No matter what people say about me and want to believe gossip. That's fine, I have the receipts. I check my facts and research them. 

You have to, as a writer!

Trump's Name Was Redacted

I have been interested for a while about Trump and his affairs as I am writing a political drama.

Bloomberg said it was from a black book but the picture shown is a contact  list.
