Independence Day is the
United States of America’s birthday, in other words, white
America’s birthday, alas the birthday for ‘Trump’s”
America. I’ve only one question for the birthday boys n’
gals — “what do you want for “your” country
on its birthday ?”
I
don’t believe its racial equality, cultural inclusion and
tolerance. I can’t believe its brother/sister-hood. I don’t
think Disney’s “It’s a small world,”
Coke’s Iconic ‘I'd like to teach the world to
sing” or the MTV era’s “We are the
World.” No, instead they want to hear Sweet Home
Alabama!
Call
me delusional, but I’d suggest Trump’s troops desire
absolute and audacious “White Power.” Trump’s
people want “White dominance and supremacy” gift-wrapped,
and presented to them at a Cracker Barrel restaurant somewhere
below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Trump’s
White folks want control of what they perceive as “their”
country - America. They want to regain that caveman-like stranglehold
on American culture and way-of-life. They want to dictate “what”
the court-of public opinion thinks. They want a “United
American Kingdom of White People'' in which we Americans-of color are
expected to return to the historical “Gone with the wind”
script of ‘kissing white folk’s’ asses, simply
happy and content they ‘let us stay’ in their personal,
private and exclusive “Vanilla Utopia” which they created
with nothing but their own individual hard work —
all-by-themselves, no assistance from anyone.
Yes,
most White folks have adopted and embraced that far-fetched fantasy.
They fantasize about Black and Brown folks having to “shut the
you know what up.” They daydream about physically forcing us to
stop all this bitchin’ and cryin’ - cease asking for a
piece of ‘their” pie. They wish we’d just be happy
with whatever scraps and crumbs fall from their table.
We
ought turn a blind-eye to Confederate statues, to a nation-wide
“Gestapo’” Storm Trooper' police mentality, to
coast-to-coast real estate redlining, occupational glass ceilings,
subpar health care, schools which are warehouses which ship most
black kids off to mediocrity at best, struggling to survive, all the
inequalities of life in America should be tolerated by Blacks, and
other Americans of color.
Yes,
the deeply-seeded insecurities and misplaced arrogance which plagues
Trump’s America will enable them to continue-to demand we,
the unwanted and unwelcome keep playing along with their fake,
fabricated and phony white supremacy fairy tale. And that’s not
going to happen, “push has come to shove!’
Think,
recall, visualize 1980 South African minority white rule.
Trump’s cult seeks that type arrangement.
Trump’s
troops desire, actually believe themselves divinely deserving
of everything worth having; their cookies, ice cream, candy and even
their gluten-free apple pie — they want it all. As Trump’s
niece points-out, “too much and never enough” fits Little
Lord Trump and his cult of followers like a “tight” white
sheet. . .
They
want the ever-elusive American Dream, all to themselves —
they want to tighten what they believe is a loosening, sipping
stranglehold on every matter, which matters. Educational
attainment, and the financial prosperity which accompanies it,
cultural domination and supremacy, to live long and prosper with a
notion-of security and stability — reserved for only White
folks.
However,
as much as they want to maintain society-wide white supremacy, I
believe there’s a significant element which wants to put Black
folks “back in chains:” they want to straighten us out,
send a message, putta whuppin on us, lake sure we understand who’s
running this country!
Trump’s
silent mainstream ‘slight” majority have wet dreams in
which Black folks “step-off” the street when they
walk-by, never look them in the eye. They want to live in a land
where a Black man never looks-at nor says a word to a white woman.
Blacks are to be docile, speak mildly and meekly to white folks,
never raise our voice for any reason — “be seen, but not
heard.” This significant slice of White America detests the
notion of societal unity, racial inclusion and cultural diversity,
translation they don’t want racial equality.
No
Black neighbors, Black bosses at work, Black in-laws, Black students
in classrooms with their kids. No Blacks walking around “their''
mall'' or “their’ downtown No, they don’t want
uppity Black Quarterbacks on their favorite NFL teams. They don’t
want to go camping, fishing, hiking, biking or skiing and god-forbid
seeing Black folks. They don’t want to go to Disneyland and see
Black folks there, outside the help.
They
don’t want no “uppity” Black driver’s driving
in NASCAR races. . . named Bubba.
As
Trump has said, real white people like himself, non-mask
wearing white folks want a Jewish man counting their money, a Brown
man fixing their roof, a Yellow man keeping the yard up for them. A
“dumb’ blond in the kitchen. Seriously, this is the 1952
“wet-dream” which Trump’s White America yearns-for.
They want the ‘Bull Connor' good ol' boy police force, designed
to serve and protect innate good white folks from inherently
bad Black and Latino folks — law enforcement warriors empowered
to play “judge, jury and executioner” out in the streets
of America. They yearn to turn the dogs and tanks loose, slowly choke
the life out of Black people every single day, in any barbaric way
they see fit.
Ain’t
that a bitch?
American
history illustrates such a separate and unequal nation, the
decades of national ‘White flight,” the deliberate
disinvestment in “old America,” the reality White America
places a much greater emphasis on “for-profit” prisons
then they do preschools for all. . . It’s just clear, obvious
and undeniable they don’t give-a damn about us.
I
surmise most, not all, but certainly ‘most” white folks —
Trump’s genuine authentic American patriots - just don’t
“like” Black folks. They’re not too-high on other
Americans-of color, and honestly these self-anointed, non-masks
wearing “Super” white men only like White women who
‘know” and “stay’ in their assigned
subservient 2nd-class place. They despise “a woman with a
mind of her own!”
Super-duper
White men, cape, tights and all. . . But no mask.
Straight,
no chaser — white folks will never cop-to the truth and
confess — nonetheless what they want is “America
apartheid” — Colored folks live on one side of town-
“Urban Reservations” while White folks live everywhere
else. It's the America white folks used to have, it's the America
they want to return to. Americans-of color are here to serve superior
White folks — labor and toil for them. The Black woman here to
dance, sing and sexually please white men on a whim. The male
competed in physical contest for White folk’s amusement.
Seriously!
White
America’s 2020 “Independence Day” birthday wish is
unquestionably to return-to yesteryear, the “good ol”
days’ when they’d concocted a monopoly on economic
prosperity, physical comfort and emotional tranquility — life
was good because, via genocide, land grabs, Slavery, Jim Crow and
a separate and unequal system — most white folks put-in less,
and got a whole hell of a lot more out than everybody else did. The
“game of life” was “fixed” and “rigged”
in absolute favor of white folks, particularly and specifically White
males, allowing them to create an exclusive hold on assets and
resources, access to choices and options. Translation —
accumulate power, i.e., White Power.
Trump
will use the war-cry “White Power” and/or ‘Nigger”
before this summer is over, wait n’ see! To rally the troops.
There
are some white folks, perhaps just a few million, who want to march
Black folks and other people-of color off-to the concentration camp
ovens and gas chambers, the firing squads and fields of trees bearing
‘“strange fruit,” if you can dig Billie
Holiday. . . And I don’t believe there are enough “good
and decent” FOX News watching white folks to stop their
loved ones from committing another round-of genocide.
Instead,
I believe millions would sit quietly-by, as they’ve done over
the centuries and watch the chaos and mayhem. It would be so-quiet,
one could hear a rat piss on cotton. . ..
