Dwayne Johnson can admit to depression and tears in his younger years then I can admit to being crazy saddened in my older years with despair at the current state of affairs on this ship of state being driven unto the rocks by FOOLS!!!! I lay in bed this morning thinking of how I dodged the cancer bullet this time and right on cue I began to wonder why. Christians tell me it is a blessing from God. I say, "I guess" because I truly do not understand the Christian's God. But that is a subject for another time and place. This OP is about the viciousness and hate based in skin color racism and bigotry in a country, STEEPED in historical and ethical hypocrisy, that has been built upon lies. And I know this is a fact in all countries with bloodstained land.
I am despairing because at 70 years of age the gains made by minorities, AA primarily, have been put in extreme jeopardy by a coterie of hateful racist FOOLS with a political base of FOOLS that are of the same unhinged ugly nature as their own Mussolini clone and his administration.
And don't misunderstand me. A country that has been built upon the vicious and bloody genocidal slaughter of many nations of the first occupants of this land and the forced slavery of unwilling people(s) of many cultures into the service, of primarily, one race's hunt for profit in cotton and tobacco, their personal comfort and and the sating of different human drives, cannot be anything but hypocritically and I think fatally flawed .
Then a bloody butchery prosecuted by a southern culture disguising it's need to savagely enforce american slavery, as a fight for 'states rights', that resulted in the killing and raping of hundreds of millions of African men, women and children here, in the Islands and other African slave holding nations and during the capture and 'Middle Passage' of the hapless African slave. Here in ameriKKKa, the 'great emancipator' was nothing more than a pragmatist trying to hold together a union of states with no real concern for the African held in bondage. Meanwhile the grisly and gory genocidal slaughter of the native-american nation(s) continued unabated. Then after the state's rights War was over the 'wild west' mentality which was born out of western expansion, by the European extracted individuals, who had a cultural bent toward violence, I only have to look at the European history of those nations who made constant war upon each other, really picked up steam. Guns, expansion, railroads many guns, U.S. Army freed from fighting the racists now turned their sights westward, thousands of guns. And I do understand the 'Buffalo soldier' contingents used by the military in the southwest campaigns. Although as I see it, it is a stain on AA history. Yet the motivations that drove the AA soldier to want to fight still did not help eradicate or even lessen white soldier or general cultural white racism.
So I see a stain. More later....
