Just How Long With The Majority Be SIlent?




The first recorded Africans in English America (including most of the future United States) were "20 and odd negroes" who came to Jamestown, Virginia via Cape Comfort in August 1619 as indentured servants.

And yet, even with their natural, god given ability to multiply their numbers, the African American Community in the USA is still only 12% of the overall population while whites or Caucasians represent 60% of the overall population in the USA.

Am I trying to make a point...  you bet I am...  our country is being turned upside down because a group of people five times smaller than the majority is trying to get our government to pay them special attention...  and, that is WRONG from the GETGO.

I would be the first to admit that the USA has/or:
  • racist cops that should be removed from employment
  • is embarrassed by slavery and wish it had never happened
  • a biased judicial system towards wealth and color
  • a biased employment system
  • a biased educational system
  • a biased pay scale relative to race and gender
BUT...  not everyone who voted for Trump in 2016 is a friggin' racist.

There are many Blacks, African Americans, or People of Color who have decided NOT TO BITCH and have made the WHITE FOCUSED SYSTEM work for them.  As far as I am concerned, blacks should emulate those successful people and/or get them to help black communities change from within and become successful.

PERSONALLY, I have never like OUR WEALTY WHITE SYSTEM of BUSINESS and COMMERCE... and consequently have made the choice not to be a part of it, unless I absolutely had to in order to survive.  I did this by remaining in the SOUTH, either in NC, TN, SC, or KY for all of my career opportunities where salaries are traditionally lower than in the NORTH.  AND...  my subsequent lifestyle changed as a result...  and, while I disliked those WHITE MANAGERS in CHARGE, I was able to financially survive until I was financially able to retire at 67 years of age.

If I can do this...  then so can a BLACK do this...

HOWEVER, with all this BITCHIN' and HOLLERIN' that is being pushed out by BLM, ANTIFA, Cancel Culture, and Critical Race Theory, the WHITE PEOPLE, sometimes called CAUCASIANS or NON HISPANIC WHITES are going to finally get a MOUTH FULL and start PUSHING BACK...

Can you imagine what will happen with half of the 60% start pushing back or even ONE THIRD or 20%?

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT NOW WILL DETERIORATE EVEN FURTHER...

AND...  talk about divided...  this is the last thing that our Federal Government wants...  especially since it will be difficult to control with DEFUNDED POLICE DEPARTMENTS.

ALL I CAN SAY IS 

 

YA BETTER WATCH OUT 

 

FOR THE 

 

SILENT   MAJORITY...

The US of A is RACIST or So I've Been Told by Blacks

The African Americans, Blacks, American Blacks, People of Color...  BUT NEVER JUST
AMERICANS, would have you believe that all Caucasians or White Crackers or Honkies are racists because several white policemen were racially biased and motivated.

Using this logic then all BLACKS are like MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. and his followers which we KNOW FOR ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY is not the case here in America...

So, why do we have this CONTRADICTION in how the blacks perceive each other and the white Americans with whom they have chosen to live, work, die, and defend against foreign aggression?


If all white Americans were like those racist cops then more black people would be DEAD....

If all black people were like MLK Jr., then there would be no violent protesting or white cops DEAD...
  • But, neither case is true
  • And, neither case has been true
  • And, neither case will be true in this country
BECAUSE WE HAVE RACISM ON BOTH SIDES...

Black People and all of those Blacks who want to use their COLOR as an EXCUSE for their FAILURES will ALWAYS CLAIM that the majority race with whom they live are RACIST AS A WHOLE.

Let me make one thing perfectly CLEAR...
  • I don't live with Blacks
  • I don't live with African Americans
  • I don't live with People of Color
  • I don't live with Native Americans
  • I don't live with Asians
  • I don't live with Hispanics or Latinos

I LIVE WITH CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ALWAYS WILL NO MATTER WHAT I'M BEING TOLD... by Blacks or anyone else for that matter...

Communities of COLOR

When I was growing up in the 1950's and 1960's, we were told to refer to black people as negroes and colored people respectively.  In the 1970's and 1980's, we were told to refer to them as African Americans and all kinds of African American cultural centers opened up all over the US.  In the late 1990's and 2000's, we were told to refer to them as either African Americans or as Blacks but today we are told that they are PEOPLE OF COLOR and that they live in COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.

What I also find interesting is that early in my life I was referred to as WHITE, then later in life I was a CAUCASIAN, and nowadays I am a NON HISPANIC WHITE...

But, what is going on with our BLACK/PEOPLE OF COLOR/AFRICAN AMERICANS especially since they only represent 13% of our US POPULATION?

Why are they getting so much attention?

BUT, going back to our Communities of Color...  why do we have Communities of Color in the first place?

  • Do Blacks not want to live with whites?
  • Do Whites not want to live with blacks?
AND...  here is another interesting question...
SHOULD OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FORCE STATES AND COMMUNITIES TO BE 
REPRESENTATIVE OF US DEMOCRAPHICS?
    Churches
Drug Addicts
Drug Sellers
Schools
Communities
Restaurants
Resorts
Airline Travel
Law Enforcement
Professional Athletes
Employees
Fire Protection Personnel
Doctors
Lawyers
Dentists
Airline Pilots
CEO's
Millionaires/Billionaires
Elected Officials
College Professors
Astronauts
Taxi Cab Drivers
Professional Musicians
Professional Dancers
Financial Bankers & Brokers
Professional Golfers
Professional Tennis Players

For instance,
I live in a community in East TN where there are at least 150 homes and the people who live in those homes are ALL WHITE...
Should our community BE FORCED to have:
  • 13% of our homes be owned by BLACKS/AFRICAN AMERICANS/PEOPLE OF COLOR
  • 18% of our homes be owned by Hispanics/Latinos
  • 6% of our homes be owned by Asians
Why are PEOPLE OF COLOR more important than Hispanics/Latinos?

The fact remains that we have COMMUNITIES OF COLOR in the US because the PEOPLE OF COLOR do not want to live with the CAUCASIANS or NON HISPANIC WHITES...  otherwise, they would be bitching and doing exactly that...

  1. BLACK PEOPLE want their exclusive AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTERS
  2. BLACK PEOPLE want their exclusive WHITES ARE TO BLAME FOR SLAVERY COLLEGE CLASSES
  3. BLACK PEOPLE want their beliefs that OUR CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE REWRITTEN TO REFLECT ONLY THEIR INTERESTS and that our Amendments are not enough for them
  4. BLACK PEOPLE want the WEALTH taken away from WHITES and given to BLACKS
  5. BLACK PEOPLE want the WHITE MILITARY to protect them while they are destroying American rights and liberties

What Happened?

A lifelong Democrat turned conservative, but not Republican is who I am today but my greater concern is what I fear for this country...  that she is changing for the worst right before my eyes...  filled with racial hatred that has divided her colors and whose anger has torn down the historical fabric of the tapestry that made her great...  her enemies watch in AWE as we do their work for them...  knowing that DIVIDED we will fall as we care more about ourselves than each other...  no longer will we stand together willingly but do so forced knowing one color hates the other...  knowing one color wishes the other color were gone forever...  knowing that one color will NEVER BE EQUAL to the other color...  as long as we see COLOR instead of seeing us all as AMERICANS...  and, knowing that there will always be someone who points out these two colors with their obvious mutations and variations of the DNA, our unity will always be in question...

We have only ONE SOLUTION that will take decades perhaps centuries to manifest and that is interracial marriages and the one basic color of their off springs could possibly UNITE this great country of our but by that time...  CHINA, RUSSIA, and/or the Middle East will have taken over our country economically and our country and her resources will be controlled for their benefit...

SAY IT IS NOT SO...

I wish I could and honestly it does not seem possible but DIVISION causes suffering and heartbreak as we have already seen in this country...  and with each death or each conflict worsens our hatred for the other side, seeking only revenge not unity.

First Lieutenants who were mean to their subordinates were not protect by their subordinates in battles in Vietnam and many of these officers did not return home to their families...  it was more than a color thing there but color was involved.

The unnecessary and senseless murder of GEORGE FLOYD has opened the COLOR flood gates and these flood gates of racial tensions and hatred WILL NOT soon be closed until one eased has been appeased by BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO MEET THEIR CURRENT NEEDS...  however,
meeting current needs, refurbishing the police departments, and taking down statues that reflect and remind those who are COLORED of the Slavery and the civil war...   UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT STOP OR END RACISM in the US of A anymore than giving reparations to BLACKS because of slavery will make them FINANCIALLY EQUAL...

In order to be FINANCIALLY EQUAL to someone who is WEALTHY that person MUST HAVE EARNED their financial wealth not inherited it or be given it by the government...  otherwise, they are still not equal and will never be accepted into the WEALTHY CLUBS in our country...

OPRAH WINFREY, MICHAEL JORDAN, and DENZEL WASHINGTON and all those people of color who are like these 3 people of color EARNED THEIR WEALTH the hard way, the old fashion way, the way of hard work and blood, sweat, and tears...  They are wealthy because they DESERVE to be wealthy and in so doing have the COMPLETE RESPECT of whites and blacks alike.

THESE THREE and people like them DON"T SEE COLOR they see AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY for those who want it but not those who want to be given it...  American Racism, Slavery, and Statues did not bother them and if they did they did not let it stand in the way of their DREAMS or their SUCCESS...
