Reflections From a Murky Pond

A real issue with those Blacks who identify as “African-American” is the punctuation involved. The hyphen is wrong and should be used. The grammatical/logical symbol that should be separating “African” from “American” is ↮ the symbol for contradiction or an XOR value choice. This is especially true because the etymological root of “contradiction” is the Latin contradico, “speak against.”

The sad fact of it is that they’re either Black/African or they’re American. At best, and that best is vanishingly rare, it’s a sliding scale between being part of their people or part ours. They can’t be both because Blacks – those acknowledged by their own people as being Black Enough and not an American, e.g., those derided as being Oreos and/or Uncle Toms/ Aunt Jemimas – hate America and her people. And, you can’t be a true member of a people and/or nation while holding it to be utterly evil, loathsome, and the existential enemy of “your people.”

I waited a bit before commenting on the 2018 mid-term elections, partly to give a chance for more state-level results to be made easily available and partly to give myself a chance to see what the consensus fall out was. It was worth the wait because the fall out was both unexpected.

The Left’s Lament

The Left’s party of choice, the Democrats flip the House by a small margin, gained a few Governorships, but lost ground in the Senate. And yet, most of them seem pretty damn angry about the results and feel that they lost, in that they didn’t get their “Blue Wave” or their “fair share” of elected offices across our country.

Essentially, these sorts are ranting because the Democrats overall received more raw, ballots across the nation than the GOP did. Hence, they believe that they should have been given more seats in the Senate, irrespective of the fact that each Seat’s election is a standalone item and not impacted by other election results.  Yes, that is correct. They’re whining because their people, concentrated in a relatively few urban areas, didn’t get to dictate how other people’s elections went.

Of course, this is exactly the sort of hysterical and quasi-mindless lamentations one can expect from a group of people who have:

1. Voluntarily segregated and isolated themselves into a small number of “geographically challenged” of “safe spaces”;
2. Believe that their desires and perceived needs are those of the entirety of the country – except for those deplorable racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, bigoted Fascists in “Fly Over Country;”
3. Are only concerned with “minority rights” when said minority isn’t White people – who are, of course, deplorable racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, bigoted Fascists.

Yeah, I guess it sucks for them and to be them. Even when they score some level and form of victory, they lament instead of rejoice because nothing short of their total victory over the American people will suffice.

Even monsters have to deal with their inner demons. 😉 So, they just might be more angsty than evil after all.  Not but what angst past a point isn’t horrific enough to have to witness.

And here you thought “Monstrous Angst” was going to be about the Liberal and Progressives or their Blacks. 😈

Poor or Mis-performing Sorts End Up Benched

The celebrities of both Hollywood and the NFL thought that their opinions mattered, that those opinions trumped their performance of their jobs in what are service industries. They spoke their narrative, which they proclaim as Truth, to Power and Power – real power, the power of the People and the People’s purse – responded.

Sometimes it good to get an outsider’s view of an issue. In this case the outsider is a Korean immigrant and the issue is what is euphemistically labeled “race relations” in America.

The greater majority will always dominate the current concerns of society. Blacks and whites have dominated American culture and history since it was founded and they still consider themselves the most important races here. The reason why there will never be racial unity is because there can never be enough “generations” to gap the feelings of hate a culture that was formerly slaves will feel for the race that was formerly their master. Until some outside force comes that is powerful enough to force us all to unite and see past our past there can never be an end to racism. Since Blacks and Whites have dominated this country’s culture, as I previously stated, their racial feud dominates this culture. It is this culture.

— Jason Cushman aka Opinionated Man
“Racism in America – The ‘Others'”

By and large I believe Mr. Cushman has the right of things, which is often the case when a person only tangentially involved in an issue speaks his or her mind about it.

“Race” in America is Black and White, with the others being largely ignored and irrelevant except when certain, specific issues are raised, e.g., Hispanics and Illegal Immigration.

I believe that Mr. Cusham is also likely and sadly correct in believing that there will never be an end to the Race Question because, insofar as the “Black Community” is concerned there can never be enough “generations” to gap the feelings of hate they feel towards Whites and the nation and culture they built in America. Their “legacy of slavery” dogma is both too entrenched and too convenient of an excuse for their endemic and systemic failings to be cast aside.
