Where o’ Where Have All the “Good n’ Decent” Conservative White Folks Gone?

By Desi Cortez Columnist

Congress has been informed by the G-Men there was no official 'bugging' of Trump's castle, but yes there is a formal investigation being conducted into Trump's team committing high-treason. Tell me where is the outcry from self-anointed 'real' White America?

In the name of “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic . . .” I’m not going to spend precious little time condemning the US public school system, which I’ve labored off n’ on in for over 15 years, I’m not going to ridicule Black people’s reckless, careless ignorant abdication of our primal responsibility – preparing our children for life . . . handing it over to our former master/our current unquestionable antagonist – white people. I’d like to lay-out and advocate for creating a coast-to- coast online home schooling program designed specifically for Black children K thru 12 I can think of nothing more important than this but . . . confronting the legitimate threat a non-legit President presents.

Of course Americans of color and the wilting Flower Children are predictably confronting neo-confederates on the cultural battlefields, but I must ask “Where o’ where have all the good, decent God fearing, baby jesus luvin’ conservative White folks gone?”

Call them Abolitionist or Nigger Lovers, whatever you like but I think we have to admit a significantly lesser percentage of the overall White population is “empathetic” to the plight of African Americans. While numerous pollings of Trump’s America (75% of all White Americans) indicates not merely a lack-of empathy but instead hostility, anger and resentment rule the Conservative mindset. Trump’s America is, catch this now – Pro Slavery, Pro-Jim Crow . . . Pro Confederate. It’s, in their opinion America, i.e., White and Black folks were in a more “inherently compatible” relationship when Blacks were in chains and Whites had absolute audacious power, but they’d today settle for 1947 or so, when racial segregation, discrimination and exclusion ruled the land when Mexicans picked the crops, Asians cut the grass and did the laundry instead of predominating the most prestigious American graduate schools.

Trump’s backers contention; no racial group is cut-out to be Americans but White folks – neighborhoods like Chicago illustrate, in stark black n’ white that Black neighborhoods are more akin-to 3rd world war zones than Mayberry RFD, i.e., we’re not culturally/morally and intellectually capable of self-determination. Furthermore it’s the Mexicans who’ve elected perennially corrupt governments – their national poverty which fuels their flight is their fault. Indians lost. Women should be property. Gay people are freaks of nature, and Muslims by religious nature and doctrine must be killed before they kill.

This disturbing non-labile, non-accountable disconnected “spectator” mindset leaves me to ask “Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent White folks gone?” I sit on my toilet, reading the news, pondering “Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent White folks gone?” Who is it amongst White America that recognizes what 400 years of oppression and exploitation has done to all who aren’t White?

Who’ll stop the acid rain?

Congress has been informed by the G-Men there was no official “bugging” of Trump’s castle, but yes there is a formal investigation being conducted into Trump’s team committing high-treason. Tell me where is the outcry from self-anointed “real” White America? The world see’s Trump as a Benedict Arnold, an aspiring tyrant on the level of Vladdy P., yet the rank n’ file rednecks see a flame-throwing flame- haired Captain Sully “catering-to the best interest of only White people”

Trump’s Storm-Troopers have been going door-to-door dragging folks out into the night, but not directly on Greyhounds headed South, no instead they’ll be warehoused in private, for profit detention/internment/concentration camps until . . . somebody says enough is enough mother . . . and as soon as stop n’ frisk goes national . . . !

Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent, salt of the earth “Republicans” gone?

NPR, Medicare/Medicaid, “Meals on Wheels . the further dismantling of FDR and LBJ’s shredded patchwork safety net has been the wet-dream of conservative idealogues for decades. And now, with ill-gotten presidential power the attack on the weakest amongst us will begin, because Trump’s tier of peers, have no tears for the downtrodden of any ilk.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz arrogantly spoke his mind saying Americans may have to choose between buying a new iPhone and health insurance –Americans have choices, and they’ve gotta make a choice,” “So maybe rather than getting that new iPhone that they just love and they wanna go spend hundreds of dollars on that, maybe they should invest it in their own health care. They’ve gotta make those decisions themselves.” he’s comparing apples to oranges, health care to an Iphone How oversimplified and “who gives a you know what” is that?

The Senator is honestly articulating the cold detached heartless perspective of his “owners” the elite Wasp “Investor Class” which has no problem screwing the Heartland, the Bible Belt, the Rust belt, folks in the trailer parks and ghost towns across the land . . . just like they screw Blacks and Latinos and Natives.

As far as Trump’s top-tier is concerned . . . White trash is “expendable”

Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent rich White folks gone?

It seems America, White America, by propelling this deplorable dope to power has placed not only the so- called “United” States of America on the brink of disaster, but the entire globe . . . and they don’t seem to really give-a-damn. Blue-collar and no-collar White America got pimped n’ played by a hustler who catered their deplorable racist, sexist and elitist view of the world. US Patriotism, all humanity and brotherhood/sisterhood takes a back seat to White supremacy

Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent strong, prideful White folks gone?

I feel I’m left to contemplate exactly “how” does one’s life of privilege leave one so conceited as Donald Trump appears to be, but yet insecure about one’s manhood – no man with as much money and penis size that Trump claims to possess could be as petty, insipid and just “B” movie trifling. Trump just has that nauseating K Mart . . . Signature Edition look and flavor, I feel like he’s one of the big time coke dealers from Miami’ Vices first year – he’s so 1985, Trump’s a poor coked-up version of Don Johnson, with absolutely no cool. And Ben Carson couldn’t even drive Tubbs’ rag-top Caddie.

Watch Lord Trump and you realize he’s the world’s most menacing man – egotistical and bombastic don’t do this runaway circus clown justice – he’s earnestly delusional. Is it arrogance or ignorance . . only his psychiatrist knows for sure.

Somewhere there’s a traveling circus missing a sinister clown.

However, given the audacious power this clown just stole – the keys to the highest office in the world, military forces, a bully pulpit called Twitter which provides the power to bully individuals, institutions, organization, business and nations on a intercontinental global level . . . this nightmarish scenario is now” real” and the possible ramifications are blood-curdling and bone- chilling, at least. I’d submit such isolation from mainstream reality, and this type of overt insulation from having to endure “reality” has created an “detached from humanity” type individual who’s “frightening.”

I ask one last time who’ll stop the rain? Where o’ where have all the good n’ decent White folks gone? Where are this era’s John Browns?! A short stroll thru a conservative-minded White man’s head indicates he sees, hears nor speaks no evil about Trump, his “savior,” and has a bad case of Selective Amnesia – harboring little empathy for those his ancestry waged genocide-upon, enslaved, oppressed and abused, and now today he denies the White race “benefits” from someone else’s land, blood, sweat n’ tears.
