Op-ed: 
Racism, the Media, and the Call For Revenge 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

Racism...a concept that has existed throughout human history in one form or another and is comprised, I believe, of two main components...outright hatred for another being the key component coupled with a smoldering, hiding below the surface feeling of not wanting to be seen as being jealous of another. And some see that hatred manifesting itself in the belief that a given group of people other than those who share their skin color are less than “human,” if you will...are “inferior” intellectually wise...are socially less moral than they are...as well as their lacking a sense of civility...basically being the antithesis of all they themselves hold dear.

Racism, much to our chagrin, is indeed alive and well in today's America, in fact it's thriving and growing but not in the way most people think or believe. Remember, while most do know that being a racist is a learned condition...after all no one is born a racist for racism itself is not an inherent human trait...racism must be learned and then nurtured along so it can grow and take hold within both an individual and in the given population at large. 
 
And it's the recent and still ongoing actions of some that have been the very lesson learned by others, what with black...yes black...miscreants and thugs trying to both bolster and embolden their own misplaced sense of self-worth while funneling their energy, time, and their growing numbers into a cohesive whole comprised mostly of those seeking to do physical harm towards others not of their black kind.

Now no longer being willing to see or judge a white individual as but one small part of the non-racist whole, the black miscreants and thugs instead make the assumption that even a single white person is indeed a representative of the entirety of what they consider to be the racist white population. And sadly, we now see a lesson being taught that we, no matter our skin color, never wanted to learn from...a forced upon us lesson whose truth has always been that one's actions do indeed speak louder than one's words, whether it's a single voice speaking or collective voices speaking in unison representing the whole.

And the catalyst...the fuel...for today's lesson in racism manifests itself at its core in simple jealously, but it's jealousy now coupled with indignation for self-perceived wrongs being pinned on the whole instead of on the one. And that jealousy remains as it has been for years with the same group of black folks wanting what the collective of white folks have but wanting it all for free...and making sure they get it by any and all means possible...even if it means using one of their own as their excuse for now once again “behaving badly.”

Rioting, looting, mayhem, and arson are the main components being taught in today's lesson of learned racism...a lesson the black miscreants and thugs themselves are now the teachers of. Using their own personal failings as their strategy for both avoiding personal responsibility and for rationalizing placing blame on white folks for what in reality is their own self-inflicted miserable lot in life...it's white folks who are their targeted scapegoats...scapegoats who need to be punished, attacked, and even murdered, all in their quest for revenge. But it's revenge not really for the sins of the past, but revenge as justification for their above stated personal failings and lack of self-worth.



So while this latest of racism's sad lessons to be learned continues to breed a feeling of superiority by the black miscreants and thugs coupled with illogical thought processes that have allowed both the media and the politicians to herald white folks as the new inferior race...it now seems we are being forced to acquiesce to the whims, ways, and wishes of those who have via violence, intimidation, and threats anointed their black selves as the superior race whom we must now obey. We must do as we are told, we must look away from the truth, we must erase our nation's history if it's not to their liking, and we must excuse the actions of those who are “behaving badly” for not to do so is politically incorrect. We white folks must cater to them, bow to them, and kiss their feet so to speak, in addition to the dollars and cents they demand we must pay them as they try and hold us prisoners chained to a past we were not part nor party of. 
 
This, sadly, is the newest face of black racism in America today, and the lessons we are being taught are being played out on TV and on the internet 24/7 ad-nauseum. But, and this is critical, with all the violence we've been privy to...with what is both anarchy and insurrection now taking place...the very lessons that most of the decent, hard working, law abiding black folks wish we would now learn...lessons in tolerance, acceptance, and equality... are being replaced with lessons full of hateful rhetoric and calls for revenge. And yet it's these very black teachers who refuse to see let alone understand that what they are teaching is actually counterproductive to what they wish to achieve.
 
So what exactly are they teaching...simply...the hows and whys one becomes a racist...and they're doing so by example...a truly sad lesson now being learned even by those of us who were never before racists in our hearts let alone something we wore on our sleeves. And while most of us are not becoming racists against the whole of America's black population...we're better and smarter than that...we are becoming racists of sorts against the black miscreants, thugs, and their fence-sitting silent black condoners...folks who are being both fueled on in hate and financed by anti-American, liberal, Trump-hating, white enablers...white enablers whose army of sorts is comprised of those who left the safety of their parents basement confines to fight a battle that they in the end simply cannot win.

 

And this I call selective racism...as in racism by degree...condemn the few...condemn them harshly... while leaving the whole intact...yet it is still the very definition of racism albeit subjective in kind. And for the majority of Americans who once saw racism as a cut and dry issue of black vs. white and white vs. black, we now see that issue being mixed into becoming varying shades of brown with blue...the color of the police...being thrown into the hate for not so good measure.

And here we thought that we as a nation had moved passed the issue of skin color, at least we did before Barack HUSSEIN Obama became president and uttered the now infamous words, “If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon Martin,” thus setting race relations back fifty years or more. But as it turns out the issue goes much deeper than just how much melanin comprises one's skin color, for skin color itself has now become a political movement that has truly shaken our nation to its very constitutional core.

How so? First know that a political movement can easily morph into a political party as my RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS partner Craig Andresen clearly explains in his recent article, America...You've Been Warned. And let's be honest here in that in today's America political party's do hold sway over the multitudes mindset. Independent (and I'm not talking party here), fact-based, rational, common sense thinkers do not comprise the masses, the sheeple replete with party line voters do as it's the easy way out. And it's these folks who simply do not understand that the mayhem...the looting, the arson, the murders, the insurrection...we now see taking place throughout our country is indeed against the law as laid down in the Constitution...as in our right to “peaceably” not violently “assemble.” And if that truth was understood then voices...white, black, yellow, and red voices...would collectively be shouting, “We've had enough...the violence and mayhem must stop!”

But the problem with this now becomes that the mainstream media itself is either selectively deaf to that truth or simply refuses to report the truth about those “behaving badly,” especially those of the black kind. Cleverly calculated and deliberate omissions helps the media in pushing forward the Democrats divisive agenda while at the same time helps to lay the groundwork for leftist political parties waiting in the wings to be born, if you will. And with the mainstream media being our country's most powerful political voice, it's a one-sided political voice focusing on speaking out against President Trump while at the same time protecting the old establishment order of career politicians from both sides of the political aisle...politicians who they can easily manipulate into dividing our country even more than she already is.

Now bought and paid for by the Democrats to do their bidding alone, the mainstream media relishes in painting the negative as a positive with the truth be damned. Black vs. white has now become black is right and white is wrong for negativity brings in viewers and ratings, and therefore the big advertising bucks...after all it's all about money for the media for money buys them even more control as he who controls the flow of information gets to deem what is truth and what is not. Unfortunately, right now the truths that we need to know are simply not available to us for those truths do not meet the political agenda of those the media is beholden to.

Take for example the recent words of Hawk Newsome, the leader of the New York chapter of Black Lives Mater (BLM), who stated in a recent FOX interview that, "If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right? And I could be speaking...figuratively. I could be speaking literally. It's a matter of interpretation.” Besides the fact that his words are not of the interpretation kind...one can see his words in literal action as sections of cities are looted and burned...but are indeed a threat against this country...a call to violence and insurrection. And he followed those words with these, “I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary.” But were any of Newsome's words picked up by any in the mainstream media...no they were not for to do so would go against the Democrats political agenda.

And that now brings me back full circle to where I began this article with...racism...for the truth is that the biggest racists of all are not white folks but are black folks like Hawk Newsome and his ilk...black men and women whose skin color is all that defines them. They have no accomplishments of the tangible kind, they feed on and live off of the hate they spew...they are the miscreants and thugs who, I believe, give good, decent black folks a bad name. They are the ones who loot, riot, and burn things down and use long ago slavery as their excuse...they are the ones who think America owes them everything just because they are black. Well guess what...today's America owes them nothing for that debt was marked “paid-in-full” when the slaves became “free men and women,” and the miscreants and thugs "gimme-gimme" mentality is truly getting both tiresome and old.

And besides, if these black, white-hating folks still think America owes them something then the chains their ancestors were freed from are technically still around their ancestors necks. Think about that is all I can say...and while you do so bow your ungrateful, black, racist necks in shame for you dishonor the very country and its people who set your ancestors free. Case closed.

Statues, History, and Misplaced Anger
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio
 
I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.....” - President Donald J. Trump, June 23, 2020

It's not really about the physical statues themselves but about what the statues represent...things like courage, bravery, heroism, and accomplishments just to name but a few. And most of all it's about history, in this case our nations history, and while history's visuals can unfortunately be removed seemingly at whim, our history itself cannot be for history is part of what composes the actual fabric of time, and time always moves forward...there's no going back in time. 
 

How Democrats Just Upended Potential Treatments and Cures for Coronavirus
Democrats have been working to push HR 1425, the State Health Care Premium Reduction Act, which would expand the Affordable Care Act and push America even further towards socialized medicine. House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Greg Walden (R-OR) on Monday introduced a motion to recommit – the Republicans' last attempt to add an amendment to the bill – to prevent the legislation from adversely affecting the research and development of any drug or vaccine intended to treat or prevent a person from catching the coronavirus.

(Via The Oklahoman)
Charged in two terrorism cases was Isael Antonio Ortiz, 21, of Welch. He is accused of burning an Oklahoma County sheriff's van May 30 and attempting to burn a bail bonds business "along with a large crowd of other individuals."
Charged with him in the terrorism case over the burned van was Eric Christopher Ruffin, 26, of Oklahoma City. Police reported he encouraged the "wanton destruction" and recorded it on Facebook Live. He is quoted from the Facebook video as saying every single one of those that kill Black people need to die and "that's what happens when you got numbers outside."
The savage Left is busy tearing down statues and repudiating American history, and with it America itself. In response, lovers of freedom are deploring the destruction and denouncing the barbarians, but few are mounting a robust and informed response to their hatred of American history itself. Yet if there is anything that this orgy of destruction should have taught us, it is that we must know, and know familiarly, and cherish, the history of our republic. Doing this will go a long way toward saving our free society.

 The reason for this is clear: now is the time for all of us to study and become deeply familiar with American history, because if we do not know what made America great, we will not be able to make it great again.

Statues, History, and Misplaced Anger

I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent.....” - President Donald J. Trump, June 23, 2020

It's not really about the physical statues themselves but about what the statues represent...things like courage, bravery, heroism, and accomplishments just to name but a few. And most of all it's about history, in this case our nations history, and while history's visuals can unfortunately be removed seemingly at whim, our history itself cannot be for history is part of what composes the actual fabric of time, and time always moves forward...there's no going back in time.

And the concept and ramifications of time as it relates to America's history is the very thing that some cannot nor will not accept as reality, but reality is what it is. Our great nation has had its share of high and low moments, things we are proud of and things that shame us...as have all other nations...but trying to change our past in hopes of affecting a better present that would lead into an even better future for some is but the stuff of fairy tales and fables, for change itself is a tangible concept relegated only to the present, and we'd all be better served if we understood that.

How so? As statues of our past keep being taken down... either voluntarily or through vulgar defacement and/or destruction...all that's being removed is but a visual reminder in stone or bronze of what was...what the statue represented is still there and will always remain so. In fact, with each statue now being tagged for removal... total capitulation of sorts courtesy of political cowards too scared not to appease the malcontents...what or whom was being honored has now actually gained in both prominence and importance. And while the malcontents think that with each statue removed a battle in their self-fabricated hatred of their own people's history has been won, the reality is that their history does forever remains unchanged.

And not only does that history remain...a history of slavery they say shames both America and the black race race itself...in no way does trying to change that history ever equate to equality for equality is not one-sided nor has it ever been. If one wants to be treated, respected, and honored on par with another as their equal, one must treat the other in the way they themselves wish to be treated. Kind of Biblical in nature now isn't it, for equality cannot be mandated by law, it truly must be earned...it cannot be said more directly and to the point than that. And for those malcontents who descended from slaves... malcontents comprising but a small, albeit a very vocal portion of today's black American population... the thing they are most angry and shamed by...slavery...is the very thing they should be most proud of for their ancestors proudly rose above their bondage and went on with their lives only to see some of their offspring now putting them back into chains.

How so? Simply by the malcontents desperately trying to draw parallels to what's happening in today's America to what slavery was like 150+ years ago...as in they're trying to make what was once considered a worldwide accepted “societal institution” into but a modern day battleground version for what amounts to their garnering personal gain at the expense of innocent others. And sadly, it's this very thought process coupled with their truly hateful acts of revenge...revenge taken not only to weaken America from within but to defame the very freedoms America affords us all...is what is helping to put their ancestors back in chains. Chains, of course not of the physical kind but chains nevertheless, no matter that their ancestors who lived as slaves never did call for revenge nor did they seek atonement or reparations from their taskmasters once becoming “free men.”  

It's only today's malcontents who never experienced or lived through the hardships of slavery who are trying to make white folks...white folks who never owned slaves...not only atone for sins not of their doing but actually wanting “whitey” to pay them monies truly not owed to them. Bribery in the guise of reparations given so that the malcontents will hopefully tone down their ever so “acting badly.”

But guess what...it doesn't work that way...except for the white bleeding heart liberal politicians that is. And really, how does one put a price tag on hardships someone today never experienced in life? Is this tearing down of statues a misguided form of atonement that must now be accepted by white folks...or else? I think not for if we do continue to allow what is basically being dictated to us as being acceptable behavior that is anything but, then truly where does the tearing down of our nation's visual history end...where and when is the line in the sand drawn and then crossed? And what are the ramifications of let alone a solution to the escalating havoc now taking over key American cities? Or simply, will malcontents be left to do what they do until they and their misplaced cause naturally burns itself out?

These are all questions that need to be answered and thankfully, all said questions can be answered with but one response...as in the seemingly mindless folks coupled with their ensuing rage that's masquerading as a protest movement must be stopped by any means possible for not to do so sees us betraying not only all our country's past but the patriots whose blood was shed in the name of freedom.

Simply, we modern day patriots do outnumber the malcontents, but it's our political leaders who are not only tying our hands behind our backs...as did a former president who not only tied our military's hands behind their backs so as not to hurt the sensibilities of the enemy but also to afford the enemy life instead of what should have rightfully been death...but today we also see the media painting law enforcement as the enemy while looters, arsonists, and anarchist groups...as in the likes of Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM)...are being both painted and heralded as heroes.

Sad isn't it...very sad indeed...which makes me wonder just where are America's militia groups...groups formed to aid our country in times of need...and if our country...if our police...ever needed aid it's now as more and more of our cities become the victim of predominately black mayhem. And if the malcontents can't have the cities...even with the (faux) racial injustice plea being the log they throw onto the pyre of racial hate...statues of American heroes, of battles and wars won and lost..are now the victims of sorts being used to channel the malcontents violent behavior...behavior no longer buried beneath the surface but on full display for all to see.

But in the malcontents minds the now ongoing fight and their destroying of statues remains not really about the statues per se, but is about what they alone deem can be included in America's history and what cannot. And now it seems that those holding America hostage...those who lack both the much needed logistics of common sense as well as an understanding of the rule of law...might have just crossed a line that even they cannot retreat from what with Jesus Christ himself now becoming both a victim and a target of the malcontents hate and contempt.

Your religion is your whiteness with a Christian patina,” or so said Shaun King, a BLM activist who pretends to be black or is he a light-skinned black trying to pass himself off as a white do-gooder...that's still open to question. However, it's not the color of his skin that matters, it's what comes out of his mouth that does. Adding that, “White Americans who bought, sold, traded, raped, and worked Africans to death, for hundreds of years in this country, simply could not have THIS man at the center of their faith,” was a misguided attempt to show that artists lightening the skin of the Son of God is central to the Christian faith and thus that Christianity itself is racist in nature. But what King and his misguided ilk forget is that any and all portrayals of Jesus, whether they be statues of stone, paintings in oil, or stained glass images adorning church facades, are just one person's visualizations of a man that no one alive today has ever seen...in fact no one has actually seen Jesus the man since around 30 AD...give or take a few years.

But facts seem not to matter to Shaun King for he is now demanding that “all the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” and are a representation of what is “racist American history,” No Mr. King, what is a true form of supremacy, I believe, is the black malcontents and the overly zealous militant sorts demanding that American history and religious history be either changed and/or erased and replaced with a black utopia where blacks are the taskmasters and white people are their slaves.

This mindset of hate...this what is now a race-based war...has to end for like I said in the beginning, history itself cannot be changed...it is what it is...it will remain as it was destined to be...and destroying the visual representations of events and folks long past will not now or ever change what was...it is as simple as that.

Trump Signs Executive Order Helping Protect Monuments, Memorials and Statues
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday that ensures vandals and others who seek to destroy federal property are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The order authorizes a penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment for the wilful injury of federal property and instructs the federal government to prosecute those who commit such offenses to the fullest extent of the law. States and local governments that refuse to protect statues and other historic symbols will be barred from receiving certain support from the federal government.

"The first duty of government is to ensure domestic tranquility and defend the life, property, and rights of its citizens," White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. "Over the last 5 weeks, there has been a sustained assault on the life and property of civilians, law enforcement officers, government property, and revered American monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial. Today, President Donald J. Trump took decisive action to put an end to this lawlessness and protect American streets from vandalism and mob violence."

Op-ed:
No Holiday Created Will Erase The Past 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

Juneteenth...a word now being bantered around by the Democrats, the media, some Republicans, and black Americans from all walks of life. Juneteenth...June 19, 1865 when a group of slaves in Galveston, Texas, learned after almost two and a half years that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the whip and from the chains...freeing them from the bondage of slavery...freeing them to establish a “new relationship” between “former masters and slaves” as “employer and hired labor,” as per the message delivered by Union Army Major General Gordon Granger. 

And while the June 19th date is significant as also being the now being deemed “official end” of the Civil War, to many black Americans, Juneteenth is remembered as the day that true emancipation...true freedom...was slow in coming for the slaves in parts of the Deep South. And to other black Americans today they see Juneteenth as either America's Second Independence Day, as Freedom Day, or as Black Liberation Day. Take your pick as to what name you want to attach to June 19th for the name itself doesn't really matter...what matters is that legally all America's slaves became “free men and women” on that day.
 

WSJ Columnist Notes Why Appeals Court Decision in Flynn Case Is So Crucial
 
WSJ Columnist Notes Why Appeals Court Decision in Flynn Case Is So Crucial
It was Custer’s Last Stand for the anti-Trump segment of America. It was the Battle of Waterloo for the Russian collusion peddlers. And they all lost. For Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, his long legal nightmare is over. The Flynn case shows just how corrupt and deranged the Federal Bureau of Investigation had become, along with the lawyers at the Department of Justice. The government Flynn swore to protect as a security official and as a member of our military went to war against him and nearly won.

As part of any incoming administration, Flynn has some phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. These calls were supposedly evidence of collusion or some impropriety relating to the former. In reality, that was not the case. The FBI had no evidence of collusion. They had no ground to interview Flynn at all. They did anyway because James Comey and Andrew McCabe, the respective disgraced director and deputy director of the FBI, wanted to scalp him. But the agents who interviewed him felt that he didn’t lie to them. Now, new notes from fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok shows that Comey even admitted the Russian calls were “legit.” Oh, Strzok is the dude who sent tens of thousands of anti-Trump texts to his mistress, Lisa Page, and brought the biased nature of the FBI and DOJ into the limelight during this whole Russian collusion fiasco.

Why the FBI Is Planning to Investigate the George Floyd Protests

Why the FBI Is Planning to Investigate the George Floyd Protests
The Federal Burea of Investigation is "looking carefully" at the likelihood that foreign adversaries are influencing the George Floyd protests, which have sparked into full-on riots at times.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency "has over 2,000 active investigations that trace back to the government in China." That means there has been "about a 1,300 percent increase in terms of economic espionage investigations with the Chinese nexus from about a decade ago," Wray told Fox News' Bret Baier on Wednesday.

No Holiday Created Will Erase The Past

Juneteenth...a word now being bantered around by the Democrats, the media, some Republicans, and black Americans from all walks of life. Juneteenth...June 19, 1865 when a group of slaves in Galveston, Texas, learned after almost two and a half years that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the whip and from the chains...freeing them from the bondage of slavery...freeing them to establish a “new relationship” between “former masters and slaves” as “employer and hired labor,” as per the message delivered by Union Army Major General Gordon Granger. 

And while the June 19th date is significant as also being the now being deemed “official end” of the Civil War, to many black Americans, Juneteenth is remembered as the day that true emancipation...true freedom...was slow in coming for the slaves in parts of the Deep South. And to other black Americans today they see Juneteenth as either America's Second Independence Day, as Freedom Day, or as Black Liberation Day. Take your pick as to what name you want to attach to June 19th for the name itself doesn't really matter...what matters is that legally all America's slaves became “free men and women” on that day.

So, while many Americans of all skin colors continue to herald June 19th as yet another great turning point for freedom in American history, other black Americans continue to see Juneteenth as a day when a modicum of freedom began but not as the day when actual freedom was achieved. And it's these folks who while agreeing that over the years some progress has been made on the racial front, still believe true and total freedom for black Americans has yet to come...so in their minds the fight for that freedom must continue on. But while fighting for freedom is most always a noble cause, fighting for a self-perceived lack of freedom is anything but noble when said fight denies other American's their right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” let alone their very right to freedom itself.

And that is the very place that I and many others feel we as a country are in right now, for the majority is losing its freedom to appease a minority...to placate the malcontents if truth be told...and that does more harm to freedom that an actual battle itself would. And know that here the word “battle” does not necessarily mean a battle where blood must be shed for sometimes the best weapon in war is the simple written word. 

Sadly, our beloved America is now at war...a misplaced war within itself where once again Americans are pitted against their fellow Americans...black vs. white...black vs. the police and authority...it has now truly become that cut and dry. And today's weapons of war, for some, are out in the open for all to see...rioting, looting, murder, and mayhem being their excuses given...being their excuses shown...for they are trying to rewrite America's history. And it's these anything but noble warriors who remain ignorant to the fact that history is as it always was, as it always will be, for the past itself cannot ever be changed, especially by those who believe that the simple act of tearing down statues, changing a holiday's name or even creating a new holiday that is anything but will get that job done...it won't. And why...because a nation's history remains trapped in time and time itself does not allow changes to be made. What was, was...but what will be done with lessons of the past hopefully learned is the only thing that can affect the future while leaving the past intact...as it should be.

And that brings me back to Junteenth, the day marking the final setting free of slaves here in America and the growing call to make said day, June 19th, a national holiday, being something I am against but not for the reasons most likely think. But before I tell you why I am against this let me begin by saying that I truly believe that slavery was indeed one of the saddest chapters in our nation's history. No man should ever be a slave of another, no man should ever be a taskmaster over another for we are all created equal in God's image. And yet it's in the make up of human nature to see one group of people holding sway over other groups of people with history itself giving many examples of that. Egypt ruled the world at one time, so did the Greeks and Romans, the Catholic Church held sway in the Middle Ages, and Hitler tried to not only conquer the world but exterminate the entirety of the world's Jews. Strong men with strong armies focused on war and tribulation...taskmasters in every sense of the word...with slavery itself being seen as a tribulation of sorts...a tribulation of the strong over the weak. 

Remember, America became a strong nation early on in its inception for all the right reasons, but even America had its faults with slavery being one of them. And while we tried to make amends for what we as a nation had done...for what we had allowed to transpire...those amends came at the cost of much blood lost...yet in the end we did remove the chains from a people who were like us in many ways but who at the same time were different than us. How so...here I'm not talking about the color of one's skin but about the color of one's soul...as in good vs. evil...as in bodies being sold for trinkets...for the simple indisputable fact is that America did not forge the chains that first put black people in bondage...as so many of the black malcontents want you to believe...their own tribal leaders did. 

And it's here that black Americans must accept the fact that the institution of slavery did begin with their own leaders having their hands out with black bodies being traded for “stuff,” and then seeing it all getting tied up (literally) in the game of worldwide economics. Are dare they not forget that the first slave holder in America was Anthony Johnson, himself a free black man. 

Black Americans must stop blaming our country for initiating slavery and accept that their very freedom itself was and still is the best reparation that could ever be paid. And with that freedom it was up to them to take advantage of all America had to offer, no matter that at times it has not been easy going what with segregation and such, yet what today's back population needs to understand is that the inequities and injustices of slavery were something they were not part and parcel to, and that the inequities and self-perceived injustices of today are truly of “their own doing.” And by “their own doing” I'm speaking of the minority within the 13.4% minority that comprises black America. This small faction is truly ruining it for the whole simply because their voices are louder and their antics speak even louder than their words while the majority of the black minority simply looks away.

Their very silence speaks louder than the miscreants words shouted with it outwardly appearing to signal condoning instead of their countering with shouts of condemning. The sum of anything is always comprised of its parts and the rioting, the looting, and the setting cities on fire is reason enough for why Juneteenth must never become a national holiday, that and the fact that celebrating Juneteenth on a yearly basis will not move our nation forward as some so seem to think, but will instead mire our consciousness in slavery's past never allowing our country to truly heal. 

And while some black folks think that creating a national holiday in honor of their ancestors emancipation is but part of a series of continuing reparations that must now be marked “paid in full,” other black folks of the miscreant kind believe that true freedom for black Americans can only and will only be won by their taking to the streets, causing mayhem, and bringing “whitey” to his or her knees. Now trying to hide behind the guise of creating a national holiday, what these folks forget, as do folks of all colors who not only want to appease the miscreants out of fear but to garner their votes, is that the fight for emancipation has already moved forward with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day becoming a national holiday. 

How so...this man of peace understood that violence was not the answer to black America's problems nor was one always having their hand out, but that problems were only solved via dialogue and by bettering oneself is. Dr. King strove for the betterment of his people through peaceful protests, and by using common sense not by wanting a holiday created to appease those with hate in their hearts and revenge in their souls.

And here I will say that I believe the creating of a national holiday for Junteenth is all about black revenge against white America for the sins of the past...sins that no one alive today ever experienced. And let's not forget that for reparations believed still owed these folks want would Juneteenth to be a paid holiday, and that in and of itself says quite a lot.

National holidays should only be in honor of those we as Americans deem American heroes, and those now screaming the loudest for a Juneteenth holiday are anything but heroes. It's also become political in nature and we all know that things done in the name of politics never make good bedfellows. What would better serve black America well is to rediscover the truth about Dr. King and his movement, put his ideas into action, and move on from the past for creating a holiday born of slavery does nothing but allow the past not to be put to rest.

So while Juneteenth is surely a day that must always be remembered in the annals of history for it was the day all slaves in America were finally set free, that day in no way should be given the same importance of having its own holiday as does such holidays as Independence Day, Memorial Day or Veterans Day, days when, I believe, true heroes were born or died.

And besides, until the majority of America's black community reigns in their own miscreants and thugs, until the majority of America's black community recognizes that the minority within itself is indeed part of the bigger problem, I believe they will remain tied to the past and no national holiday created will release the chains they still feel binds them. For that reason I think the creating of a Juneteenth holiday will become both a hindrance and a crutch towards true equality as appeasement only adds to a problem, it does not and never will solve it. Case closed.
