Those who cannot remember the past…

Are condemned to repeat it

Philosopher George Santayana is credited for the above quote and it never rang more true than today.  What we are seeing directed towards conservatives and most pointedly White people is little different from what Hitler and the Nazi party aimed at the Jews, Gypsies, the disabled, and others that didn’t meet the standard of being Aryan perfection. The Nazis blamed the Jews for all their woes as the left now blames Caucasians for all that is wrong with the world.

Discrimination, what used to be called reverse discrimination, is now the norm. Even the Federal government practices it, for example the stimulus program to help farmers has White farmers last in line although they do 95% of the farming.  Affirmative Action, college admission quotas, racial quotas of all types are always set to leave the White people last because of their “inborn privilege”.

Critical Race Theory is being taught everywhere now and so called “White Privilege” is touted and spewed at every turn.  Reparations should be paid to people who never felt the sting of slavery, forgetting that many White people were also slaves, some under the guise of “indentured servants” but many Whites also were slaves in every sense of the word as well.  

I am no more responsible for slavery than I am for the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs.  But I can say a huge number of White men fought and died in the Civil War to successfully end slavery; however the left feels that means nothing because they are owed everything or so they think.

Now Asians are getting the short end of the stick as well at least in university admissions and racially motivated attacks, which the left tries to blame on Whites even though the facts and surveillance videos prove otherwise. Education is being further dumbed down with standards such as SAT tests and advanced mathematics now being deemed racist.  Asians and Whites do well in these fields therefore everyone else is being mistreated, making it racist to excel because others do poorly.

History is being racially rewritten via entertainment.  For example, the Broadway show “Hamilton” with all Black cast or a film about David Copperfield with a man from India in the title role. Are these hypocritical examples of the recently minted “crime” of cultural appropriation?  I always heard imitation was the sincerest form of flattery but I guess I heard wrong.

Curiously the Left is all for open borders throughout the world but very much against the admirable use of cultural objects or practices found in other places and countries, thus this horrible cultural appropriation is a no-no, especially if done by White people. So no wearing of the green on Saint Patrick’s Day if you’re not Irish from now on.  

Hollywood and the MSM never miss a chance to disrespect the Caucasian race although we are supposedly over 60% of the population of the United States.  I am always reminded of the old movie of Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” when Lenny has had enough and begins to fight back after having his face slapped numerous times.  There used to be a Black comedian named Slappy White whose name I now find ironic these days.  If only his middle initial was “D”.

The Nazis bullied Europe taking what they wanted and disregarding various groups of people as being human.  Earlier in the takeover of Germany Hitler had his Braunhemd, known as the brown shirts, to terrorize the populace and harass the Jews with the Kristallnacht being the most infamous of their mayhem.  He had various buildings along with churches and synagogues destroyed and blamed most of it on the then current government, the Weimar Republic, he was trying to overthrow.  And by these sinister means he did indeed overthrow it eventually.

Once he took full power Hitler tasked his personal physician, Dr. Morell, with keeping him pumped up on drugs to function. He also had filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl to glorify the regime and vilify the opposition in film.  He had Joseph Goebbels to spread propaganda in speeches and print and of course Dr. Mengele to run ghastly experiments on humans.  Sound familiar yet?

Hitler had allies, most of which were not Aryan.  I’ve often wondered if these allies realized, especially the Japanese, understood they would be next on the elimination list if Hitler prevailed and actually ruled the world?  We can see traces of this stupidity today in those who hate their White skin and speak out against it with such fervor and venom.  Remember, during the Nazi era Soros betrayed his own Jewish people too. 

Do these self-loathers somehow think they have a free pass if White people are made to be second class citizens?   Perhaps because now at this time they are useful idiots to the left, they believe the two tiered justice system we now seem to have will continue infinitely and they will always prosper like Soros?  But sadly for them it’s not likely to happen this time around. 

To these people I will say read the Constitution of the United States carefully.  Discrimination of any kind is not to be tolerated including religious beliefs and skin color, and that includes any coming from you.  If our system is so unbearable, please leave, go someplace more to your liking. It might be a wakeup call for you. I lived for years in a third world country and believe me, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.  Go to the southern border and ask one of those people why they are so desperate to come to such an evil place as you see the United States.  Let me enlighten you.

The southern border is being flooded with people not entering legally but are welcomed with a cornucopia of benefits while the American population is under house arrest and enduring other unconstitutional mandates. The American population are being paid, overpaid, at the present time, although it’s finally changing in Republican states, to stay home and not work although many jobs, good paying jobs, are going unfilled.  And those with businesses of their own are being forced to close.

What if, desperate for workers or even by design, these plentiful jobs go to these newly arrived replacement workers?  What if once the jobs are filled suddenly the government spigot is completely turned off and those Americans relaxing at home are suddenly penniless?  Would they have been systematically replaced as they lounged on the couch watching sitcoms and eating popcorn? Would they have been herded into an economic boxcar?  Think not?

Are you willing to bet your life that it can’t happen?  How many times have you thought “it can’t happen” and then it did?  This is not the world we grew up in anymore nor is it the country that was founded in blood so all men could be free and equal.  Also, unlike the left, I capitalized “White” when referring to Caucasians, as all races being equal.  I again quote the words of George Santayana “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
