25. OMG. Fired? What, no jail space for this waste of protoplasm?

As awful as this is, more of this needs to come out. A lot more. And real history of this nation. People need to understand what has been done here, and not a load of lies like that GOPher said about how blacks enjoyed being slaves.

In a post I made a while back, about my 400 years of history (although I know a thousand years, one name after another) I said the differences...

What I did not go into (as I got derailed by a troll, and was helped by JAG, but really, the willful ignorance is galling most days) was the psychic nightmare that truth entails.

Just one example:

My people were not stripped naked in public, treated like livestock (I won't get any more graphic, it's not like blacks don't know this history) and no one who has not got that in their past, has a damn thing to say to blacks about their views on this country.

What has been, is and could be is going to be up to those are aware and able to create a future. People who don't get it need to grasp the pain, feel it, and be transformed. Or be part of the past. So many try to drag us back to the past as if it was all golden and great...

Bullshit.
