So... here I am... a white man... in a white man's land... and, the black man is telling me that I am BAD and that all my values are wrong and oppressive... and that only he, the black man, deserves to be in control of America...
AND... I wonder who the hell are you... to tell me that??? How dare you compare me to those other white people that you HATE... How dare you tell me that I am oppressive and that all my white values are wrong... just because GOD wanted you to be black...
The fact that I am white and you are black has nothing to do with the fact that we are both AMERICANS and are living under the control of those who are wealthy and neither you nor I are to blame for the fact that most of the millionaires and billionaires in this country are white... it is because of our quality of life desires that these people are wealthy. If we had not purchased what they were selling, they would not be wealthy... so, we should hold ourselves accountable not them.
I am 73 years of age... Caucasian... lower middle class... well educated... a Vietnam Veteran... and retired after working 45 years under the supervisions of intellectual assholes who cared more about power than progress. I live in the South because it is cheaper to live here, and the weather is moderate. I do not believe in wars, but I believe in the first and second amendments, and in a females RIGHT TO CHOOSE. I think marijuana should be Federally legalized and I think all States should embrace lotteries. I believe slavery was more horrific than what we did to Native Americans but that is the past with which we must live... It is what made us who we are today... and, while there are still bad apples in the basket, they are getting harder and harder to find.
We should be teaching UNITY in our schools, not division and we should be teaching young minds to reach out and become smarter and more intellectual than we were or are right now. We should be against tyranny, Marxism, Communism, and Socialism and for a free market enterprise system that creates economic growth but not wealth or income disparities for Americans. We should be in favor of protecting mother earth but our movements in that direction should be slow, consistent, and methodical and should not follow political party lines to pacify financial donors.
We should have a strong military and should have the best educational system in the world from K-PhD, and if we are not smart enough to cause that to happen then no one should be considered a true doctor of education.
We should be free of color as that is enormously counterproductive and we should allow unfettered access of entry into this country... If they want to come here they should be allowed. But, they should learn to speak ENGLISH. And, all operating manuals should be in ENGLISH as well. However, if an American want to open a foreign store in the USA where only a certain language is spoken, then that person should be allowed to do this. Similarly, if a foreign person wants to start a foreign language Television Station or Cable Channel where only a specific language is spoken, then they should be allowed to do this as well.
THIS ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED DIVERSITY IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY GREAT...
