DIVIDING AMERICANS

DIVIDING AMERICANS BY RACE Obama won reelection with gifts (stuff) to people of color and young (naïve) white people. This is the mantra now being chanted by white political puppets – it's being sung as a new and sincere prayer to God, but it's really an old hymn designed to divide and conquer. Who are the puppet masters on stage today – they are the same as in the founding of this country, as in the slaughter of native people, as in the enslavement of African people, as in segregation, as in disenfranchisement, as in black laws, as in continued discrimination. Wealthy people who control and exploit the natural and human resources of our country are still the puppet masters on this American stage. Now their ploy is to move the American people away from seeing the growing greed of the wealthy as the cause of our economic crises to the growing peoples of color – to change the focus on Ravenous Wealth to that of Race. The political puppets are saying that Race is the cause of our economic problems and that Race will eventually ruin our otherwise great country. The puppets go on to say that, 'We (WHITES) must take our country back' – presumably from the people of color and naïve whites. I have white family members and subsequently mixed nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. I've encouraged them to not let anyone fuck with them because of their mixed heritage, white or black. We have no intention of turning on each other for wealthy puppet masters, political puppets or anyone else. Some whites may be tempted to follow the political puppets, thinking that people of color is really the problem. But I urge such a person to ask themselves the question; who has the wealth and political power to buy companies then ship the equipment and jobs to another country; who has the wealth and political power to make loans and then sell those agreements for exorbitant profits; who has the wealth and political power to change the law to benefit wealthy people; who has the wealth and political power to remove the voice of labor and the poor from political discourse? I don't give a damn whether you like me or not; we are all Americans and bound together by circumstance, place, and time. One sure way for our sons, daughters, and grandchildren to inherit a dead America is to allow racism to divide us.
