American Pride – It’s Alright, to be White, and to Fight for what's Right! – Politically Correct or Not – the Truth will Prevail once more!

American Pride

It’s Alright

to be White

and to Fight

for what's Right!

Especially when the fighting is for you...

What a couple of decades we have survived.  In fact, turn the clock back to 1960 and next election year, 2020, it will have been 60 years since 1960.  Seems like there is some metaphysical karma about the way the numbers fall.

Some drug induced tormented source decided back then to blame White people for all the ills of modern society.  It seems things were not moving fast enough for the rebellious anarchists pushing change as their agenda.  Then they got violent and change fell by the wayside, until the cataclysmic event when Trump got elected.

After the tumultuous Sixties we thought we had seen it all but did we underestimate the power of destiny?  If the 1960’s were the black hole for causes and social radicalism, it was just a harbinger of what was to come.

By the end of the second decade of the 21st Millennium, today, a whole new vitriolic, vociferous, vicious and violent social radicalism has taken over the agenda of well-meaning reformists.  At the forefront of the movement is the same old tired catch phrase for blame, blame it on the White Supremist.

In fact, the keepers of political correctness, are the same advocates of left-wing hypothesis, Hell bent on driving America off the cliff.  Armed with the knowledge that whatever they propose is bound to be well beyond the capacity of any human being with a brain to embrace, they have nothing to lose.

Disenfranchised Media and the lunatic fringe in control of the Democratic Party are not the defenders of America but the destroyers of American faith, patriotism, freedom and principles.

  

Thus, we find them today in a frothy frenzy of fatalism with quicksand as their foundation.  Impeachment, shredding the Constitution, tarring and feathering President Trump – oops, how dare me make such a biased and politically incorrect statement as “tarring and feathering” with the horrible images of bias and terror it projects.

Are you nuts?  For the record, as if that means anything to the media or left bank, I am only referring to a rather hilarious and classic scene regarding the fate of Brer Rabbit in the beloved Disney classic movie Song of the South.       

Thanks to the Politically Correct movers and shakers the 1946 Disney film cannot be shown on TV, in the movies, or sold on DVD because it was labelled racist for how it depicted African Americans.

The setting for the film was a post-Civil War plantation in the South and the live action combined with animation was pioneering film work.  This film classic won an Oscar for Best Music Original Song, “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, “ was nominated for Best Music Scoring of a Musical, and received the extraordinary distinction of being granted the Honorary Oscar award to James Baskett, a Black actor, “for his heart-warming characterization of Uncle Remus, friend and storyteller to the children of the world, in Walt Disney’s Song of the South.”

Song of the South - Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah - James Baskett

The Academy Award for the Song and the Honorary award for his performance were the first time a Black actor had been so honored in those categories.  Yet this enduring film cannot be seen because of racist depiction, stereotyping, or implied racism.  Just what exactly do you think might be the truth about life at the end of a bitter and bloody Civil War that took place over 150 years ago?  The film is a victim of overzealous censorship for the stupidest of reasons.  Oh yes, it was a White President, Abraham Lincoln, who during the same time period, gave his life for freeing the slaves.

Political Correctness is riddled with collateral damage including denying God, rejecting Constitutional protections, stimulating polarization, and embracing the dark forces of the universe.  Advocates of PC are terrified at the thought of competition, winners and losers, exceptionalism, initiative, pride and self-esteem.

To them Trump is the enemy, the public his defenders, and they must be stopped at all costs.  Much of the News Media feeds the whacky, psychologically disturbed, and runaway minds of the PC movement, since the Media share the goal of ending the Trump presidency and restoring the old political establishment, the so-called Swamp.

The goal of the lefties in the Media and Politics is simple, use their offices and resources to control the minds of the people.  Take away their rights and individual freedom, break their spirit and initiative, and convince them the left agenda is the will of the people.

PC fanatics claim White people are extremists, nationalists, bigots, biased and dumb.  White Supremacy motivates Whites, to be Whiter, I guess.  But the last time I checked White people are not the monolithic bunch of machine-made, pattern-stamped, assembly-line minds often depicted by a lame media.

Whites are the Middle-Class foundation of the nation.  Some are rich, others poor, and most caught somewhere in between.  Most of their families were outcasts from other nations fleeing discrimination against religion, unfair taxation, and all other aspects of life.\

So, for those of you waging war against all those White Supremacy flag wavers, here is a dreadful bit of truth for you to swallow.  They are the same people who gave everyone in America equality and freedom, fairness and individual liberty.

They passed a Constitution binding us to equality forever and forcing us to address the principal forms of slavery and discrimination of the day, including women's rights and equality and equal justice and opportunity for all.

Not only did they pass laws that would reach across generations and millennia but they fought and died for the successful implementation and enforcement of those laws.  The actions and foresight of the Whites preserved a nation for the equality and protection of all.              

According to the latest US Census news, the following is the breakdown of Americans by race as reported by Americans.

White only                             60.4% of the population

Black and African only          13.4%

Hispanic and Latino only      18.3%

Asian only                               5.9%

Native and others only            2.0%

There is one huge catch.  Those that report mixed races always report White as their primary race and that means 16.1% of the total population is shifted from other races to White, thus indicating White and mixed White represent 76.5% of the total population.  In other words, three-fourths of the population is White or White mixed, and just 23.5% is all other races.

If that is not enough to shake your faith in the destruction of American patriotism and the fallacy of political correctness, consider the following.  One of the premier issues of the far left is gun control, or gun confiscation to be honest.

Absorb the following regarding gun ownership in America.

The American Military – Two guns for every soldier

2,225,404 members of military own 4,400,000 military weapons

The American Civilian Militia – Seven Guns for every civilian

54,863,700 civilian households in US own 393,000,000 weapons

In other words, there are 24 times as many civilians with guns as soldiers, and civilians have 89 times as many weapons.

No wonder our Founding Fathers adopted the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution which reads: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Racism, Discrimination, Inequality, Judgment, or Bias - the Causes, Conditions, or Results of Something Worse?

As the presidential election campaign heats up, racism seems to be interjected over and over again.  The result of rampant polarization, it is a term being manipulated and misused by the news media and political pundits.  To brand someone a racist while failing to apply due process to the claim is an act ignorance of the law itself. 

When it comes to judging racism in America, when did MSNBC and CNN become the custodians and enforcers of racial equality in America?  For a couple of news services who operate under FCC licenses from the government you would think they have assumed the role of the Justice Department and the Courts along with prosecutor and jury.

The cable news media in America has become the Kangaroo Court of First resort for select groups of citizens though it has no Constitutional basis for such actions, it is not part of their FCC license, and there is no liability for the volumes of lies they may broadcast in order to control or manufacture news.

The phrase "rush to judgment" means ignoring the judicial process and the Constitutional safeguards inherent in our system of justice.  Our Constitution requires such a process to protect people from the abuses of unregulated justice.  It also directs that a person is innocent until proven guilty by the judicial system.

We all know our judicial system is filled with legalese doubletalk and gobble de gook in order to intimidate the public, provide jobs to our law school grads, and overload the circuits of our news media.  In this way the innocent can be convicted, the guilty can be protected, and the lawyers can join the country club.

When you add to this already rather dismal system the mouthpieces and talking heads for every non-profit (most certainly including preachers and churches) dedicated to protecting the social interests of our citizens from the predator practices of our legal institutions (law enforcement),  manipulation by our financial institutions, and discrimination by everyone else, you have a recipe for sure failure.

So, we now have our politicians, preachers, prosecutors, and press, the latter the procrastinators and perpetrators of the news media whose very jobs, ratings, and profits depend on perpetuating pipe dreams on the public.  How many special interests does it take to protect the public interest?

Excuse me, does anyone besides me see a problem here?  Polls show people do not trust these groups.  Polls show people trust anyone but these groups to accomplish anything.  So, why are the people dependent on these same groups to protect them, advise them, or speak on their behalf?

Too many of these people operate under the old theory that if you don't like or can't stand the truth, then change it.  That ancient philosophy is what has kept civilization from getting beyond the Neanderthal age all these millennia.  Sometimes it seems we have more in common with such barbarian behavior than with what one might expect from the evolution of civilization.

In short, people are fed a steady stream of lies, distortion, or misinformation to keep us apart, distrustful of different races, hateful of other religions, suspicious of motives and to convince us anyone of any other color is out to take what you got.

So, here are a few truths that may help you penetrate the fog.  First about grand juries, everyone has an opinion about them but few speak the truth.  Here is part of what New York state law says about the grand jury process.

New York State

GRAND JUROR’S HANDBOOK

THE ROLE OF THE GRAND JURY IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

The grand jury is an arm of the court. It is not an agent of the prosecutor or the police. A grand jury does not decide whether or not a person has been proven guilty. That is the trial jury's job. The grand jury decides whether or not a person should be formally charged with a crime or other offense. The grand jury makes that decision based on evidence presented to it by the prosecutor, who also instructs the grand jury on the law. The grand jury's decision must be based on the evidence and on the law.

In general, the grand jury makes one of three decisions:

A. The grand jury may vote to formally accuse someone of a crime. This accusation is called an “indictment,” also known as a “bill” which is short for “bill of indictment.”

B. The grand jury may vote to dismiss the charges, also known as a “no-bill.”

C. The grand jury may direct the prosecutor to file an information accusing the person of an offense less serious than a felony.

There are also rare circumstances where a grand jury recommends that a case should be sent to Family Court or where the grand jury makes a report to the court.

WHY WE HAVE GRAND JURIES

The use of trial juries (also called petit juries) and grand juries goes back approximately 800 years. Beginning around 1215 A.D., both types of juries were used in England. The grand jury made the formal accusation, known as a “bill of indictment” or “presentment.” The trial jury decided whether the accusation was proven.

The grand jury is included in the United States Constitution and the New York State Constitution. In New York State, a person cannot be brought to trial for a felony unless that person has been indicted by a grand jury.

The grand jury has an awesome responsibility. It uses its power both as a sword and as a shield: a sword to accuse or indict those whom there is reason to believe have committed crimes; a shield to protect the innocent against unfounded accusations.

                      

Hum, a grand jury does not decide if a person is guilty or innocent.  A grand jury can be a sword or a shield to accuse or indict or to protect the innocent.  Don't hear many media or "experts" saying this, they just want a conviction which no grand jury can provide.

Personally, I think these tragic events taking place are not rampant racism smoldering below the surface of society but are more symptomatic of the unequal economic opportunity plaguing our nation.  First, why are cops involved in these incidents?  Are they are trying to stop criminal activity or are they enforcing stupid laws of the government.

Take the tragic case of Eric Garner in New York City.    In New York, the city and state wanted more tax revenue, so 60% of the cost of cigarettes is now taxes.  Imagine what would happen if you paid 60% of your income to corrupt governments.

Well the cigarette tax is like the gas tax, it does not care what your skin color may be or how much money you may have, it is the epitome of equality, the poor and the super rich pay exactly the same tax, even if the poor have no money, no jobs and no hope.

Therefore, unscrupulous people buy cigarettes out of state where governmental greed is not prevalent and bring them to the poor parts of town to sell them on the streets without the onerous taxes but for a fee.  Of course, the rich just send their jets to a country where there are no taxes on cigarettes to feed their addiction.

When the city needs more money to fund corruption they go after the citizens cheating on taxes and for the cost of lost cigarette tax a dead body lies on the ground.  Why did the government order the police to enforce tax collection?  Isn't that the job of tax collectors?

As for Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was killed, the entire city is trapped in economic despair, like so many parts of so many cities around the nation.  Abraham Lincoln once said all people were not equal, but all people must have equal opportunity.  They still don't.

However, unequal opportunity is not just a racial issue.  There are poor whites just like there are poor every other race.  Where poverty breeds there is attendant crime.  Those trapped in poverty are also trapped in an endless circle of crime which leads to hopelessness, which leads to envy, and then to revenge against those who have what the poor person does not have.

The effort to break the cycle of poverty has been one of very slow progress, dependent on many uncontrollable forces like the world economy, honesty in government officials, etc., etc.  The victims and the perpetrators of crimes are generally from the same race no matter what the professional mouthpieces tell you.

Contrary to what some of the mouthpieces have been saying to the media, the jails are not just filled with kids busted for petty possession of marijuana.  Many violent criminals are incarcerated, for victimizing their own people.

When our leaders get past pointing fingers and making judgment on people, and police are people too, then maybe we can get to the serious problem of creating economic opportunity, meaningful economic opportunity, and get on with solving our real problem of poverty for all races and genders.  Poverty, the underlying cause of economic inequality that results from lack of economic opportunity.

Congressional Black Caucus PAC Endorses Clinton - Black Vote Hijacked Again

.

W.E.B DuBois - Booker T. Washington -.Malcolm X - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Since when did a group of just 30 older black politicians get the authority to speak for the 42.3 million Afro-American blacks in America?

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

                                              Martin Luther King, Jr.

Based on the news media exposure for this CBC special interest group, you would think that blacks controlled election outcomes in American presidential elections when in truth they represent just 13.2% of our total population.

“We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Congressional Black Caucus in Washington has never had a white member and only two Republican members in its history.  By liberal standards, that makes them racist.

“I believe that all men, black, brown, and white, are brothers.”
                                                W. E. B. Du Bois

They claimed they endorsed Hillary Clinton because of the work by the Clinton family over the decades on behalf of minorities in America.

From this point on, the facts get fuzzy.

 “I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
                         Booker T. Washington, Up From Slavery: An Autobiography

Bill Clinton was the president who took three actions that nearly destroyed the black community when he passed a major criminal reform program, the NAFTA trade program, and the Regulatory Reform regulations for the stock market.

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”
                                                Booker T. Washington    

The crime program filled the prisons with new criminals, the vast majority who were black.

NAFTA wiped out the blue-collar manufacturing base in America and opened the floodgates for the corporate flight to offshore islands and foreign nations to avoid high labor costs and taxes in America.

As for the financial regulatory reform, well it turned our stock and financial markets over to the criminals who drove us into the worst recession in our history, wiping out any chance to get financial backing from the credit markets, and burying the public in housing debt.

"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr.

So why do minority groups like the CBC play into the hands of dynasties like the Clintons, who have demonstrated they are most likely to benefit financially, not the people they claim to champion.

“The Negro cannot win if he is willing to sacrifice the futures of his children for immediate personal comfort and safety. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929-1968

One claim from the CBC members who spoke was that Hillary's support for protecting Planned Parenthood was a reason to back her.  Well both Hillary and Bernie Sanders support Planned Parenthood, so are they also responsible for the death of 17.4 million black children by abortion, and there is no way all blacks in America support such an aggressive termination effort.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
                                                  Booker T. Washington

The CBC is concerned only for black issues.  That is contrary to the work by previous black American icons like W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. who recognized the diversity within the black population and sought the assimilation of all people, all races, and all factions within those people into the American Constitutional system.

“Honest and earnest criticism from those whose interests are most nearly touched,- criticism of writers by readers, of government by those governed, of leaders by those led, - this is the soul of democracy and the safeguard of modern society”

                                                W. E. B. Du Bois, The Soul of Black Folk

No group of 30 elders has the right to speak for millions people of all ages, all economic backgrounds, and all levels of academic achievement.  More than half of all blacks have family incomes of over $50,000.  Graduation from high school has improved to the point that 92% of blacks graduate today compared to 96% of Whites.

“The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.”
                                                 Booker T. Washington, Up from Slavery

In higher education, black graduation rates have improved significantly with many of the top universities and colleges in America showing white and black student graduation rates equal or within 10%.  Today nearly 4.6 million blacks are college graduates.

“Believe in life! Always human beings will progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.”
                                                W. E. B. Du Bois

There are many black leaders in business, politics, education, health care, and private industry.  Many of them long ago recognized black voters were taken for granted by the Democrats or the black politicians.

“Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than to be in bad company”
                                                 Booker T. Washington

Of course, there is a long way to go to achieve racial and criminal justice equality, but that is not a Democrat or Republican problem, it is an American problem, and the sooner we work together the sooner the problem will be resolved.

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.”

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr.

As for our youth, when did a new generation of Americans ever accept that the current leaders and standard of living was the best they could expect for their generation?  Times change, needs change, opportunities change, and our youth are smart enough to know the future does not have to reflect the problems of the past but the dreams for a better tomorrow.

“I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.”
                                                 Booker T. Washington

CBC made a mistake, they had no business endorsing anyone.  A racist and discriminatory organization has no right to tell anyone what to do, who to vote for, and what to think.  Perhaps our youth could solve the many problems we, and they, face if we stopped telling them what to do and let them tell us how to do it.

“Here is the chance for young women and young men of devotion to lift again the banner of humanity and to walk toward a civilization which will be free and intelligent; which will be healthy and unafraid, and build in the world a culture led by black folk and joined by peoples of all colors and all races - without poverty, ignorance and disease!”

                                                W. E. B. Du Bois, A Reader

Imposing your will and wants on anyone else is not American, nor democracy, and not respect for individual rights and freedom.  Polarization and hatred never solved anything and judging others is a slap in the face to Christianity.  Now is the time to get rid of hypocrisy, and get on with solving problems.  Now is the time to listen to the true heroes of America.

"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood."

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

                                                Martin Luther King, Jr.
