The Floyd murder was an unimaginable and heinous act. A slow agonizing death by asphyxiation is an absolutely horrific torture. According to my friend this type of act is what was necessary before a Conservative, White or Black, can or will acknowledge something is wrong.One thing that has universal agreement in America. What we all saw leading to the subsequent death of George Floyd was wrong. You don’t have to be a Liberal or Progressive to see that.
What motivated me to blog about this is what a long time friend and mentor posted on Facebook. My friend is a long time advocate for civil rights and he has worked on the national level to advance the cause of Rights. However, what he said in essence is if a black Republican Senator can see what happened to the late Mr. Floyd was wrong then what happen is worse than what it seemed.
Why do Liberals continue to perpetrate the falsity that Conservatives and Republicans are innately Racist, uncaring, unjust and are White supremacists?
I don’t know Senator Tim Scott (Scott is heading up the President’s response to the injustice we all saw befall George Floyd) however I don’t believe that Senator Scott, the only Black man in the Senate, has racial animosity or bigotry against Blacks nor do I believe Senator Scott is a White Supremacist as my friend intimated.
Yet my long time friend and mentor suggested in his Facebook post that it takes something as extraordinary as former officer Derek Chauvin balancing on the neck of a restrained Black man, George Floyd, for eight minutes, a Black man who was laying on his stomach on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, from which several nights of riots and violence erupted, before a Republican could see that something is wrong in America.
The Floyd murder was an unimaginable and heinous act. A slow agonizing death by asphyxiation is an absolutely horrific torture. According to my friend this type of act is what was necessary before a Conservative, White or Black, can or will acknowledge something is wrong.
I vehemently disagree and oppose the stereotyping the Left and my friend has made of the Right. Republicans and Conservatives are not Racists, White Supremacists or beneficiaries of White privilege as the Left so mischaracterizes the Republican Party to be. This stereotyping is the basis and justification for the undeserved hatred Liberals foment against Conservatives, the Republican Party and the Right.
In today's Democrat psycho-neurotic lexicon the meaning of words have changed. Racism now means ‘I think you don’t like me because I wear my Race and sexual identity on my sleeve.’
Yet this, in fact, is the hatred the Left has unleashed on America in the name of the murdered George Floyd and in the guise of the Black Lives Matter movement. The hatred we have seen for the past several weeks have nothing to do with the deceased Mr. Floyd but has everything to do with Democrats’ own delusions of racism, White Supremacy and White privilege.
In today's Democrat psycho-neurotic lexicon the meaning of words have changed. Racism now means ‘I think you don’t like me because I wear my Race and sexual identity on my sleeve.’
And so it is. The new meaning of Racism is the negative reaction a person receives when that person flamboyantly and in an in-your-face manner demands another person’s complete yielding to, and complete acceptance of a Racial identity and/or a choice of Sexuality. But if one doesn’t submit to demands to submit then one is labeled a Racist. What I’ve just described is the Democrats’ new definition of Racism.
In the same respect Democrats’ new definition of White Supremacy means, ‘White people you have created a civilization unmatched on the planet. Therefore you must think yourselves better than others of lesser accomplishments.’ This is what is meant when the specter of White Supremacy is used by Democrats.
Finally, White privilege means, ‘Because White people have built a society, like the Chinese, like the Japanese, like the Arabs, like the Mexicans, like all other nations of the world, you White people feel that your society is yours to live in and enjoy.’
These are the words and attitudes attributed to White people by others. These are not word or ideas of today’s White person. These are words of hate projected on White people. Every time there is a spurious charge of Racism, White Supremacy and White Privilege these are the new meanings and ideas behind these false and maligning epithets cast by Democrats.
Yet in spite of Democrat hatred this is what I have learned about Racism, White Supremacy and White Privilege. If anyone thinks someone better than themselves, they should work to make themselves equal or better. In the same respect, if anyone think themselves better than you, you work to make yourself equal or better.
What you don’t do is try to tear them down or try to tear down their accomplishments to bring them down, in your mind, to your level. Neither do you ask them for special allowances so that you may not feel inferior. But not today. Today Democrats are taught to pull down statues and the history those statues represent so not to feel inferior.
In the 1936 Summer Olympic games Adolph Hitler intended to show that his master race of White blond blue-eyed Aryan Athletes were superior in every aspect to everyone else in the world.
We now know that Hitler got the under-girding of his ideas of Aryan Supremacy or Racial supremacy from the Democrat Slave holding South in the United States.
According to Wikipedia, Jesse Owens, born James Cleveland Owens in Oakville, Alabama achieved international fame at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, by winning four gold medals: 100 meters, long jump, 200 meters, and 4 × 100-meter relay. He was the most successful athlete at the Games and, as a black man, was credited with "single-handedly crushing Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy". (White Supremacy)
Mr. Owens didn’t accomplish his momentous victory over Racism, White Supremacy and White Privilege by protesting, non-participation or asking for the end of the Olympics. No, much to the contrary, Mr. Owens trained and worked to better himself in spite of living at the time of the apex of Worldwide White Supremacy.
If Black people are so enraged by systemic Racism then why aren’t there more Black attorneys and politicians who are working to change conditions for American’s Black people?
Somehow the real lessons of Mr. Owens and Rev. King, Jr. have been obscured from generations of American youth. We see that evident in the streets of Seattle to Georgia in the United States.
If Black people are so enraged by systemic Racism then why aren’t there more Black attorneys and politicians who are working to change conditions for American’s Black people? Every other minority group has used the courts to advance in this society; Women, Homosexuals, Illegal Aliens, and Trans-gendered people.
Everyone of those so-called disenfranchised groups have used the law and the courts to affect the change they desired.
Sometimes we forget, though it was Dr. King doing the marching in streets, it was Attorney Thurgood Marshall winning the court battles that actually changed legal status for United States’ Black people.
So what lessons should we have learned? Black people need less protesters and more attorneys. If Black people are not satisfied with their lack of advancement in the last forty years. Then learn the lessons of Jesse Owens, Rev. King and Justice Marshall, work to better yourselves, then dream of yourselves achieving everything your hearts desires and finally learn to use the system to legally get what you are legally entitled to.
The above is how we have always effected change in America, not the pulling down of statues, not by looting, not by rioting and not by creating faux independent lawless zones which are the fronts for international anti-American organizations of Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
These organizations are infiltrating our country with the intent to destroy the traditions and customs passed down to us by men who by the grace of God created a country that has the ability to self correct by legal and Constitutional means. Self correct by our Constitutional Representatives if we keep them true to our original documents.
As Benjamin Franklin remarked, this is a Republic if we can keep it! The Democracy that people like Nancy Pelosi speak of, well that is the mobs we are seeing in the streets! America is not a Democracy! We are a Constitutional republic and it’s time we start acting like it! That is the greatest lesson which we have learned from the death of George Floyd.
