What the hell is wrong with you, Some Of White America? Have you lost all damn decency? Have you come to a point in our country’s history where black is not merely white but an amalgamation of all that is wrong with the world? Have you lost the ability to call it as you see it – actually and not in terms of what you see through racism, sexism, hatred, righteousness and divisiveness? You are not post-racial. You are not conservative or liberal. You are not our brothers’ keepers. And you are most certainly not faithful to the teachings of peacemakers, poets or the religious beliefs you hide behind. These are your failures and they hinder your ability to think clearly and understand one another for who you are rather than what you say you stand for.
You, in your desperate national pursuit of social-and-political-policy-one-ups-manship have accomplished exactly nothing in the last five decades that could marginally be described as aiding in the forming a more perfect union. Our union is ever more divided – because of you. Our perfection is split by your cacophonous guttural and irrational screams for justice and equality in the form you envision it for your selves – not your neighbors (all of them). And I’m a little fucking tired of it.
If you think I’m just ranting, that’s fine. I do that. But if you open your eyes (WIDE) for a moment, say I’m wrong. Can you look to what is no longer marginal radical political and social commentary creeping into the fabric of the mainstream and say to me, it’s nothing. It’ll go away. It’s just the ranting of a few with a marginal and insignificant grasp of power? Are you able to comprehend how much you are willing to set back the progress of a nation to soothe the political wound of having to answering to a black man?
Anyone who’s read anything I’ve ever written knows where I come from. I’m left wing, pro-choice, liberal, possibly socialist, all too often more than willing to lead with my heart than my brain, and am unapologetic for every bit of it. But at least I can listen to you and your insanity and call it as it is, not as I see it.
And, for the record, up is not down because you say it is. Mostly, it’s the way it is because you’re a racist asshole.
