Let's
be honest, nobody, and I do mean nobody honestly questions if America
is racist…only White folks, nobody! Only White folks think
Elvis was King, not James Brown, Only White folks think Donny Osmond
was as talented as Micheal Jackson, and only White folks think their
racist ways have lessened, it's not as bad as it was, they're not as
openly hateful as their grandparents were … so… what?
Shut up n' stop your belly-aching and be grateful.
“Is
it really ‘progress’ when a cannibal uses a knife and
fork?”
Someone’s
going to have to explain to me how a bloody “empire” such
as America can be in doubt, question and deny being branded a racist
country. There’s no question about it, America is as racist as
the day is long. The “Founding Fathers crafted a land of
freedom… where only White men were free. The nation fought an
internal civil war because millions upon millions upon millions of
White folks thought Blacks were born to be their slaves.
America
is a racist nation, built on racial hatred, arguing otherwise is
insane.
Just
so we’re all on the same page: Stealing the very land we all
stand upon from the indigenous natives... was a hate crime, as was
the genocide waged upon them, not to forget imprisoning them
on desolate Reservations. " Stealing, kidnapping and enslaving
Black people for centuries...was a hate crime. Stealing/strong-arming
land away from indigenous Mexicans ...was a hate crime. Interning
Japanese citizens during WWII was a hate crime. It seems White
America has a level of blind hatred that can't be denied, can't be
wished away.
White
America has, dig this, selective historical amnesia…
they seem to forget, dismiss and marginalize all the twisted and
demented acts they’ve committed, and somehow they want us, you
and I to forget, the victims o their racist hatred to dismiss and
marginalize all the twisted and demented acts they’ve willingly
committed…upon us. It’s insulting if nothing else.
White
man, please!!!
“American
Apartheid” - this land’s unofficial “separate
and unequal in all matters which matter way of life” is
without question racist. The obvious police brutality which runs
rampant across the land is indicative and reflective of the "White
racism" embedded in this nation. The real estate/housing
industry is racist. The financial'/banking industry is racist. The
health care system leaves Americans of color underserved, can't get
an aspirin because some doctor thinks we're faking the pain to get
drugs... The US educational system undeniably fails Black and Latino
kids daily because it's laced with gutter-low expectations due to
White racism and indifference. Wall Street is racist. Main Street USA
is racist. Hollywood and Broadway are racist. NASA is racist.
Great
White Dope Donald Trump and his uneven Presidential response to this
infamous, once-a-century Pandemic was skin color-based, and reflected
the racist attitude of his unquestionably bigoted base.
Great
White Hope sportsman Tim Tebow's nine lives reflect the White
privilege which still today rules the sports world, while Colin
Kaepernick's obvious and undeniable "Black-balling" by the
NFL plantation owners illustrates the racism which runs deep in
America's national pastimes – sports.
The
daily incidents of White folks snapping,”going-off,”
ballistic on Black folks because we don't "know our
place" and behave "uppity" - not sufficiently sucking
up and kissing their behinds in some situation or interaction. I'd
suggest these daily eruptions hearken back to the good ol”
days when they could demand our “papers,” demand to
know why we’re on their side of town after sundown, demand we
step-off the sidewalk when they approach, look down, never making eye
contact, and greet them as if they're trailer park royalty. Please
think about it – that is America, the day-to-day environment
they created, hand-made and maintained. That’s the preferred
way of life most White folks loved, embraced and long to return to.
C'mon
man, do you think I'm lying? Do you think I'm exaggerating? No! Rank
n' file White Americans want your Black butt in the back of the plane
– last 6 rows, a separate restroom for the "Darkies."
I just can't phantom, in these polarized and flammable times we're
living in, how Black folks could perceive the hostile situation as
anything else.
This
nation only loosened the noose around our collective necks
because they felt the pressure of a colorized world watching their
hypocrisy and barbarity on display. Not because they realized the
savagery of their deeds or because they felt sorry for us, realized
we were as human as they are. Please.
This
nation was always racist, it was racist when my momma n' daddy was
growing up in the 1950s, it was racist when I was growing up in the
1970s and it's still racist today. Electing Barack Obama President
was abnormal, exceptional, extraordinary and totally out of character
for White America, and wait… note only 43% of White folks
voted for Obama. That's not even half. So to pretend that mainstream
White America isn’t racist, sexist and elitist is to make
believe Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are real.
The
endless "White Flight" fuels the reckless greed-driven
growth of this nation while undermining any attempts of living
together in peace and harmony. They don't want your black behind as
their neighbors, classmates, roommates, in-laws, or as their heart
doctor or kids science teacher. Black folks are generally and widely
regarded as guilty and/or incompetent until we "prove"
otherwise.
Mainstream
WASP America has created a game of “Survival of the fittest”
and please note, white America got so very “fit” with the
land, blood, sweat and tears of other people, people they’ve
put through hell – there’s no denying that fact.
