White Supremacy

We don't even start the conversation in the right area:  white supremacy.  We dodge that term, whites, or part whites like me, sweep it under the rug.   
          
Then we read history, not the white supremacy doctored history, but the indigenous people's history, the African American, Asian American history, the NAACP history.

And we find the truth; Manifest Destiny was NOT the spreading of  the democratic dream to the world, it was a land grab and an economic cheat that used slave labor and stolen land to build an economic super power.
In short, our ancestors were either victims of this crime or perpetrators.

Most of us, like me, walk around with both coarsing through our veins.  So we are conflicted from the start.
So what do you do, hate your country?  Or do you hate those who point out the lies?  Or do you ignore it all.
That would be the choice most Americans take.  They ignore, they make excuses they look the other way.
Only a few years ago, many took a more active role and attacked anyone who talked about the lie, jailed them, even worse.
Today it is the culture of silence.  The culture of white "backlash" that supports Trump.  It is angry, that is the usual excuse, because amazingly white middle class men finally have figured out they are getting screwed.

They are angy at the "Blacks" the "Thugs" and want to "Make America Great Again".

Amazingly, they completely ignore what has happened to people of color in our highly unfair ecnomic system.  The standards of living of Native and African Americans have declined MORE than middle class whites.  Some African Americans have improved their lot, but from what?

From the grinding poverty of Jim Crowe America; that is an improvement?

In short, white suemacy is white rich man's supremacy.  And it is firmly in control.  Look at the Republican Party's ticket.

So look the other way, ignore.  But in voting for white supremacy you are cutting your own throat!
