American WASPS have not awakened they are Traveling Back in Time…
I am an African-American man. My grandfather and his brother fought in World War I. He told me of the days when German prisoners of war had better accommodations than the African-American soldiers. Who was the real enemy then? The American soldiers of African decent or the Germans? I like many other American’s have been watching the recent events related to the lack of respect for the White House and the individual currently residing there. Who is the real enemy now?
My earliest recollections of “Dis-Honor” in the White House was during Watergate.
My more recent recollections of dis-honor in the Oval Office was during the Clinton Administration. The dis-honor was clearly drilled into America’s consciousness by the Honorable and always correct Righteous Far Right wing of America. That Clinton injustice to the Oval Office created a venomous environment on talk radio that still haunts our airwaves today. That environment today has gotten older, more stagnant and once again it is showing America what is wrong with the Oval Office. It just amazes me that the Far Right Wing is always correct or should I say “Right” on every issue domestic or international.
In hindsight I am so glad that they showed us Americans how to have the “Right” respect for the Oval Office by using that as a segue for a Compassionate Conservative Administration headed up by the “Dubya” administration. I have read almost every book that has been created by White House insider’s during those Compassionate Conservative years and to be honest. I was disturbed with what was revealed and I just want to know where was “That RIGHT Voice of Righteous Reason during the Dubya era”… Where were your words of outrage then for the injustices for the Oval Office Righteous Far Right? We were wondering where you were?
However, that is not what this article is about. I recently read an editorial in a Jamaican newspaper while visiting that lovely island island nation. The editorial provided a perspective of our country that exposes cracks in that which makes us American. It also asks is America spiraling back in time faster than Dorothy went to OZ?
I now know where you were Ole Righteous Voice of the Far Right….. You have been traveling, traveling BACK IN TIME……. But you will certainly be there by yourself, the rest of the world is clearly not interested in living in the past. Most of America did not like it then and does not want to revisit it any time soon.
Say it ain’t so Ole Righteous Voice of the Far Right….. please just say it ain’t so. Please don’t go away angry, just simply go away…..
Please see a portion of attached article below, the link for the full article is also below. I encourage comments. Let me make this clear I did not write this editorial, I simply want others to see this article.

American WASPS have awakened
It has finally dawned on white America that what it did last November is real after all. It has awakened from the dream, it has pinched itself and, dear Christian, Non-Muslim God, it has realized that the Black man in the White House is real. It is not a dream.
Fanned by the flames of dunces like Rush Limbaugh, who recently made a claim that school buses should be segregated; the bigoted Glen Beck; the xenophobic Sean Hannity; and the media pugilist Bill O’Reilly, all racists, significant sections of White America have been making the call that they ‘want their country back’.
It amazes me that a country so great can find glee in wallowing in backwardness. While the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party disputes that its fanatics are racists, it has forced Obama to agree with it, simply because it knows that Obama, the Black president, cannot afford to engage the nation in a great debate on racism. Not at a crucial time when he wants to push through his health reform bill.
When I was in Oxford, Mississippi last September for the first presidential debate, a young white student of the University of Mississippi who was a volunteer for Obama in the election campaign admitted to me that his grandmother was a racist. “I realize that I cannot change her because that is what she learned and grew up with from she was a child. When I mention the name Obama she spits in the house, on her own floor.”
A lot of the White Anglo Saxon Protestants in America have been discovering that spitting on the floor at the sight of the Black man in the White House is in vogue again. What some thought had died in 1965 was only sleeping. The beast smells blood and it wants the ‘N…..’ in the White House.
