Old Habits

 



 

Whenever you brush your teeth it’s likely you begin by wetting the toothbrush – running it underwater from the faucet – before you squirt toothpaste onto the brush.  Then you proceed to scrub those pearly whites for a few minutes until the next scheduled cleansing.  Right?

 

The reason you go through that same ritual day after day, week after week, month after month, you get the point, is because that’s the way your parents taught you to perform this important exercise.

 

Your teachers, pediatricians, bankers, salespeople, police, nor anyone else gave you instructions for how to execute this simple, and often overlooked, task.  If you’re doing it wrong you can blame your parents; likewise, if you’re doing it correctly, you should thank your parents, too.

 

The reason you were taught to wet the brush prior to cleansing is because toothpaste wasn’t marketed before the 1960’s.  Before that time people used toothpowder which needed a moistened brush in order for it to adhere to the brush.

 

Old habits die hard.  Your parents likely used toothpowder for their own teeth which is how they learned and subsequently passed this information onto you.  You’re welcome.

 

For several years now, the self-anointed among us have been giving us misinformation as fact.  They falsely learned that a fellow named Christopher Columbus stole North America from the indigenous people about 500-years ago.

 

As the story goes, Columbus stumbled upon North America enroute to the Far East.  Not having Google Maps available, he relied on crude paper maps for navigation.

 

Upon his arrival, he is alleged to have passed European illnesses to the fun-loving American Indians.  Delighted, he returned to Spain for a backslapping and some high-fives.  Unfortunately, his plan to totally devastate his newly discovered land to kill everyone failed.

 

That’s the false narrative foist upon elementary students to bastardize the true story of the beginning of our proud nation.  Just as the violent removal and destruction of historic statutes are now in vogue, manufactured information containing little truth is being spread.

 

This overt deception is beginning to unravel; alas the damage is already done.

 

Not unlike the narrative pushed at home, and reinforced in classrooms and places of worship, black people are supposed to gravitate to the Democrat Party because Democrats love blacks.

Again, like the toothpowder hoax and the Christopher Columbus lie, Democrats have been exploiting blacks by pandering for votes, for nearly 120-years with a serious lack of candor.

 

One election after another, blacks are lured to the Democrat party to cast ballots for another election cycle in hope their bidding will be done by their elected politicians.  And another election cycle passes with little or no evidence their votes are appreciated by those elected officials.

 

Here’s the truth about the Democrat Party.

 

Democrats established the Ku Klux Klan, following the Civil War, as a way to frighten and intimidate black former slaves.  In fact, a United States Senator named Robert Byrd, Democrat from West Virginia, served for 51-years until his death in 2010.  By the way, Joe Biden eulogized Sen. Byrd.

 

Let’s not pick on the late Grand Kleagle Byrd, but also remember other prominent Democrat Klan members such as Justice Hugo Black, Governor Theodore G. Bilbo, U.S. Senator John Gordon Brown, U.S. Senator Joseph E. Brown, Federal District Court Judge Elmer David Davies, Governor Bibb Graves, Governor Clifford Walker, Congressman George Gordon, and Mayors John Clinton Porter and Benjamin Stapleton.

 

That abbreviated list of cross-burners were public officials who claimed to have the best interest of blacks in their racist political agendas needed to be made readily available for all to see.

 

So it seems as though the nearly unanimous support for the Democrats by black throughout the generations have been another bogus toothpowder story passed down from generation to generation by misinformed families to their progenies.

 

And those slanted stories about Democrats being protectors and defenders of blacks are nothing but tripe as can be seen through the window of history.  Looking back at school desegregation in the 1960’s, it was the Democrats who sent in the National Guard to prevent black school children form entering to learn, summarily preventing integration of America.

 

It took decades for Republicans to fully integrate schools, and the military and corporate America are still working through the integration process.

 

Unfortunately, Democrats are still fighting the Civil War as if they were the victors.  And no, blacks are not beloved by the Democrats, rather they are viewed as votes for achieving more power for the likes of Joe Biden, and placing restrictions on all Americans, black and white.

 

It’s about time the Democrats’ chains of slavery were removed by telling the truth about manipulation and pandering thereby allowing blacks to choose better in the upcoming elections.
