For some, America was great more than 159 years ago when black people could be bought and sold like any other inanimate product. How come nobody talks about our third president and his black sex slaves Thomas Jefferson? The history of any massive country is rooted on mass murder and rape from its hierarchy, and America is no different than China, Japan, Russia, France, Africa, the U.K., and many more countries.
Slavery ended on paper a 159-years ago, and yet hate between some blacks and whites simply based on skin color and not the content of their character still fuels too many hearts of hate from both cultures.
On May 20, Donald Trump had 'unified Reich' stuff on his personal Truth Social page. People, including myself may argue if Trump is a racist or not, but one thing is certain, he caters to these hate groups, including the KKK, the Proud Boys and the QAnon, aka the Q.
February 19, 1942, was another great day in America for some of Trump's cult, I'll betcha. On this day, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be rounded up and jailed. I read two books on this torrid history of the U.S. The 2003 novella, "When the Emperor Was Divine," by Julie Otsuka and George Takei's "My Lost Freedom," released this year.
George Takei was sent to a maximum-security prison when he was 5-years-old in 1942 with his mother, father and two siblings, one slightly older and his toddler sister. His crime, being a Japanese American. His mother was a true citizen, she was born in Sacramento and his dad was a legal immigrant from Japan, and like the white people, paid their taxes and worked legally. Make America Great? When exactly was it Great?
How wonderful the Native American's were treated, is that when America was great? Referring to African Americans as blacks and Native Americans as Indians are my preferences because it's less wordy and when the Indians slaughtered General Custer and his entire Cavalry, it was true justice. White man was in the wrong and they paid the ultimate price of war. Months before the Battle of Litte Bighorn, General Custer and his army were told by Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and another Indian Chief to leave the Black Hills or die. It was a one-sided slaughter lead by Crazy Horse's Cheyenne tribe, Sitting Bull's tribe and one other Chief and his warriors.
In the Battle of Little Bighorn, Custer was one of all nine officers killed along with all 280 enlisted cavalry U.S. soldiers. Thirty-two Indian warriors lost their lives for justice that day. America was great that day for me. The Indians were here first, and the whites came for the gold, so fuck General Custer, he had months to head the warnings and bail in peace.
Currently America isn't even in the top 30 in education or clean water, so where is all this lip service greatness?
I agree with Trumpsters, President Joe Biden is a do-nothing old man, but he's not Trump, so again, I'm ridn' with Biden in November. Trump is a whooping four years younger than Biden and an absolute disgrace to America and all humanity. He's a convicted felon and tried to overthrow the government and that's just the tip of the iceberg for him, a serial criminal and liar. He told more than 30,000 lies or spread misinformation in just four years. Airports in 1776? Trump, a stable genius? Trump also suggested we nuke hurricanes. His stupidly is infinite. Donald J. Trump, the j is for genius he'll probably say.
In my brothers and sisters' lifetimes, America was segregated and ended the year I was born. Signs reading whites only were laden throughout America in the early 1960s and earlier, when America was great, according to Jabba the Gut and his cult.
I support local sports while too many Trumpsters send the billionaire buffoon felon money to help with his legal fees. I follow no one's dictates, save my own, I finally grew up.
Looking upon America's choices for the upcoming election, I see the beginning of the end. I want to be wrong, I really do, but honestly, I'm glad my life is more than half over, the future looks bleak to me, but I know how to fake happiness and sometimes experience it.
