For over six decades I have been
personally hearing about how hateful the United States of America is. My formative years began in the 1960’s just
about the time integration became a reality.
My parochial elementary school
began filling the seats with a modest number of black kids. We learned lessons, recited poetry, prayed,
played, and acted in school plays, together.
We were not black and white kids,
rather we were kids.
Our parents worked together at
the local factories, shopped together at area stores, and drove similar cars.
But all was not without
controversy.
Today’s headlines scream racism
from every angle and place white people squarely in its crosshairs.
Just a month ago I discovered I
was suffering from something some nitwit ginned-up called “systemic racism.”
According to news reports,
systemic racism is an element derived from the amount of melatonin in ones
body. If you’re black, you’re okay; if
you’re white, there’s no hope for repentance.
Over those six previously
mentioned decades I played ball, worked, socialized, and admired blacks – not
because they were black, but because they were friends and colleagues.
Because a dirty cop in Minneapolis , Minnesota ,
killed an unarmed black man, black and white members of society joined together
to condemn the hate while resurrecting systemic racism.
Once again, whites, including
myself, were labeled racist without a shred of evidence other than self-imposed
grandiosity and years of fictional cultural lore passed down from generation to
generation about how bad whites are.
In the name of “justice,”
over-exuberant malcontents took to the streets to stand side-by-side the
protestors, in a Trojan Horse-type scenario.
A peek into Minneapolis' Summer of Love |
Anarchistic white thugs along
with greedy black thugs looted and rioted major cities across America , making
demands and requiring atonement for decades of oppression towards blacks.
A case of perpetual slavery again
reared its ugly head and began pointing at everyone and everything not black.
Dumpster fires were commonplace
as were broken windows and burned-out vehicles.
Cupcake shops were vandalized for some inane reason that only makes
sense to the puny-minded miscreants among us.
Running out of ways to impose
that “shock factor” on society, these hooligans turned to statues. Inanimate relics of a time gone by, history
to remind us of the past, needed to be destroyed in the name of that bogus systemic
racism.
Monuments to our Founding
Fathers, Christopher Columbus, varying Presidents, and even abolitionists, were
unceremoniously torn down – with some being decapitated and set afire, with
others tossed into ponds – to make a point.
Alas there was none to be found.
This senseless vandalism and
destruction of history, although criminal, is not seen as a big deal to
affected governors and mayors and city council members. According to one mediocre mayor, this is
viewed by her as a beginning to the “summer of love.” Sure.
But the true deep thinking is
arising to the surface to demonstrate how intelligent or ignorant these angry
protestors really are.
Every action’s excuse is
connected somehow – much like the seven degrees of separation of Kevin Bacon –
to racism.
George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and even Matthias Baldwin, an outspoken abolitionist,
statues were destroyed because of some sort of link to racism and slavery.
These weak minded, destructive
clowns are using white America
as a target for their heinous, ill-directed attempt as “justice,” while forcing
white society into silence.
I have yet to hear about any
mosques burned, looted, or otherwise vandalized. These studious anarchists should have learned
that a religious leader named Muhammad took slaves after he moved to Medina in what is now Saudi Arabia .
Go ahead and poke your grubby
little fingers in the eye of Islamists rather than passive Americans. See how many acts of violence you’ll be able
to get away with.
Wink, wink.
