The President made an incredible admission on the weekend, he unashamedly stated that the level of disapproval of his performance by the American population does not worry or faze him. This is a remarkable statement coming from an elected official , in the most "democratic" country on the Planet. Oops..., I forgot the President represents the small minority of VERY rich super Millionaires and Billionaires.
He does not care about the middle class, the working class, minimum wager earners the poor , pensioners, elderly citizens and anyone below the milliomaire ine . Strange as it may seem , I have to ignore the President for a while, an honor the achievements of DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING
Dr. MLK as an American hero, is surpassed in American historical importance,only by Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
Thomas Jefferson, brought to life, the interest and ideals of those humans who sailed away from the tyranny and backwardness of the Kings and Queens of feudalistic Europe.
Abraham Lincoln brought to life the ideals of the Great American Constitution and the vast majority of the people who were "living in America" and wanted a Union, a unity of the entire States they were working tirelessly to transform into the best place on Planet Earth.
Martin Luther King brought to life the magnificent ideals of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence that promised , a guarantee to all , within the borders , called the USA, the inalienable rights of life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness--- what has since being called HUMAN RIGHTS .
The celebration of MARTIN LUTHER KING does not conjure excitement and reverence by Americans that are not Black. This seems to suggest that white America believes that MLK legacy is relevant only to blacks and non whites.
They seem to think that the enhancement of Civil Rights / Human Rights are only for those whose rights were threatened .
White America mistakenly believes that their unalienable rights were never under siege , because it is felt that , no white man in the leadership , or at the White House will ever act against his "kind"... (wake up and see the acts of GWB).
Another example of this pathetic display of indifference , by generally "white America" is the issue of the socalled Rebel Flag.
The Civil War of 1861-1865, was started by the Uprising of the Big White Farmers of the South. This war is mistakenly seen as war to simply retain Slavery and the concept of Free Chattel Labor as an economic plan.
The truth is that a group of Rich Farmers cursed the American Constitution and sought to treacherously, physically , culturally and spiritually destroy the UNION OF THE AMERICAN STATES.
Abraham Lincoln defended the American Constitution with his life . He did not only courageously defeat the Rich Farmer's dream to use FREE LABOR to build their empire. But he also dashed their hopes of ruling America in a fascist style, whether it was the whole Union or part of a divided America.
We just have to try and imagine how our lives would have been different if these lunatics were successful, or if we did not have the ability and opportunity to combine all the resources of human and material, into the majestic product called the USA.
A little more than One hundred years, after the defeat of the Big Rich Farmers uprising . In the 1960's , Martin Luther King took action to exorcise the demons imposed by those evil , anti-democratic, anti- Americans, called , segregration and State discrimination , enforced by Jim Crowism and the KKK.
The symbol of that tyrannical period and of the uprising itself, has been the Confederate Flag. The descendants of those traitor soldiers are still insulting , demanding to have the flag flown on public buildings These Americans descendants wants to honor theses soldiers that wanted to divide the USA .
They claim it is their "heritage " as enemies of the " The Star spangle banner"
that they want to honor.
The sad thing about all of this is the pathetic display of indifference by White " America". They generally display, shameful weakness, when they have to take a stand on the issue . The issue is presented as , African Americans expressing displeasure at this offensive flag being flown anywhere on earth.
But the flag should be offensive to every human living in America. However White America do not feel offended, they feel safe because, the Big White Rich Farmers, wanted someone else , not them , to be FREE LABORERS, so they have no problem with the Confederate Rebel Flag flying over their heads anywhere.
But this flag MUST be offensive to all the soldiers that died to maintain the Unity of the American States. It must be offensive to all those men and women who died defeating another fascist regime from Germany, who wanted to rule the World.
Can you imagine the Germans , insulting America and the WW11 allies, by honoring the Swastika as their heritage, telling the world that the disgraced flag should be allowed to fly alongside the German and American flags on German Embassies.
What would have been the American reaction?? Do you think that Television Presenters and Commentators would have suggested that swastika is offensive to the Jews alone as they do with Rebel disgraced Flag??
One final note : The Congress of 1864 passed a Bill , called the Wade -Davis Bill, which required the majority of the Adult white men to take an Oath of allegiance to the Union and its flag. It also deprived all former confederate Government and Military officers to be denied the right tp vote or hold office.
The Bill was "vetoed" by the warm hearted President Abraham Lincoln, who wanted a peaceful reconstruction and transformation of "no percecution, no bloody work".. Yet just like Martin Luther King he was assassinated by the same traitors and enemies of Human Rights , while waving their disgraced so- called Rebel Flag.....
What do you think??? |
