The Demise of a Republic

It is part of our historical record that after the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was asked by a woman if we had a monarchy or a republic and Franklin famously answered, ” A republic if you can keep it.” It doesn’t look like we have. That is not a hyperbole.

Racism as Poison

One has to wonder why the toxic allegations of racism have suddenly appeared as a daily dose of disparagement to individuals and our country. This is especially true when slavery and hate is a pillar of society in many Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, while in the United States slavery was outlawed in 1865 and included three amendments to codify the new societal structure.

Oprah Winfrey, one of the richest and most powerful women people in the United States, or as our dear leader prefers to call them, one of the 1%, had the gall to badmouth the people of America who had made her a household name. Plugging her movie, she stated to the BBC reporter that Americans, “are not happy with the president partly because of his race.” Let’s get it straight once and for all.

If Americans were so racist our dear leader wouldn’t have been elected twice and made the fat black lesbian a billionaire. This bogus argument is used to disguise the real hate of Leftist blacks and their white useful idiots. These moronic elitist probably never heard what happens to them when they’re not needed anymore. All logic and history is being tossed out to fit a narrative that the radical left party, masquerading as Democrats, want in order to transform this country into something unrecognizable.

In their crazy Alice in Wonderland reality,all whites today are responsible for slavery perpetrated almost two hundred years ago. I have a very laconic question. Did you notice how few Jewish survivors of the Nazi holocaust and Gulag hellholes preach hate? And, by the way, that horror happened to people who are STILL ALIVE today or family members who recount the horrors of parents or grandparents. Since this is a country of immigrants, I can assure these victim pimps that I not only was not alive but my forbears were living in Poland and Hungary and had to deal with institutionalized antisemitism and pray that during the savage pogroms loved ones wouldn’t be killed or raped. Many of our students are not taught that there has been institutionalized discrimination against Irish, Italians, and Jews. There were signs hung outside buildings and places of commerce that ” Jews and dogs not allowed.” Universities, like Emory, that are full of Jewish students today, did not allow Jews to apply. Instead of kvetching, Jews built their own hotels, businesses, and parents urged children to do well so that universities COULDN’T deny them entrance. Freedom Riders to free the south of segregation? Many white people heard the call and even died to protect black rights.

I, for one, have taught in urban schools. Not only are grades inflated but there is total disrespect for white teachers. Teaching 6th grade in 1989 I was told by my class how much they hated “Whitey.” and therefore didn’t have to listen. I went to the board and had them help me make a list of the mean, racist whites in their lives. They couldn’t come up with anyone. You should have seen their shock. It’s time we stand our ground and call out the true racists, otherwise the poison will destroy us.
