I Know How to Cure "Systemic" Racism...

We're being told on a daily basis that America is a racist country.  We're being told that we have "systemic" racism.  And "institutional" racism."  That sounds pretty bad, doesn't it?  

Well, fellow Pilgrims, if that's true, I have a rather timely question:  Why didn't either Barry Obama or Joe Biden fix it?  They had 8 years to do so, why didn't they fix it?  

Just think of it:  Obama spent several days (only) as an Illinois senator before running for, and winning, 8 years-worth of POTUS-hood.  And Biden was a senator for more than 33 years before becoming Obama's V.P.  Which gave him another 8 years to "fix" what he laughingly calls "systematic" racism (close...no cigar).  

Plusssss, Obama/Biden had a veto-proof majority for over two years, owning the House, the Senate and the Presidency.  They could have put forth, and passed, any law they wanted.  So why, I ask again, if there is a racism problem here in America, which is belied by the very fact we chose as a country to elect Obama, a (half)Black man, and then elect him again, then why didn't either he or his sidekick Biden "fix" it? 

One can assume that there's only one of three possible answers to this all-important question:  

     -  Either (a), they knew about our so-called "systemic" and "institutional" racism and chose not to do anything about it; 

     -  or (b), they knew about it but decided they simply couldn't do anything about it, thus exposing their legislative inabilities and total fecklessness; 

     -  or (c), it simply does not exist.

I'll leave it up to my fearless band of faithful readers to decide which of the above is correct.  For me?  I believe I have the answer to this supposed problem.  In fact, I believe I know how to cure this supposed "systemic" racism problem.  And here it is...

Wait for November 4th.  The General Election will then be over and the Democrats and Marxists and Antifa-ists and Black Lives Matter-ists and race hustlers and poverty pimps and protesters and rioters and looters and arsonists and anarchists will pack up and put this whole scam away and not bring it up again until it's time to vote two years from now...  

Any questions?

The Woke Folk Have Spoke...

"Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha' gonna do?

Whatcha' gonna do when there's

nobody left to come for you?"

Well folks, while you were "sheltering in place," waiting for that nasty Chinese Wuhan Killer Coronavirus to leave you and your neighborhood alone, it seems we've had a revolution.

Yes, a real-time, all-day, all-night, burn 'em down revolution.  So much so that the TV show "Cops" has been permanently cancelled.  It was due to premier its 33rd season a couple of weeks back, but no way Jose (with no derogatory implications for either Jose or any other member of the Hispanic race, or any other race for that matter, either foreign or domestic, here on Earth or on any other planet...not to exclude other galaxies, or their planets).  

It seems that watching "Cops" can harm you in some way or other.  Or cause you to want to, ummm, do or think something or other that might be, ummm, anti-social.  Orrrrrr, it might make you think that cops are pretty good folks and almost always do a very tough job very well.  Or something...

Can't have that, now can we?

But that's not even the biggest story!  The hit show "LivePD," the Number One show on all of cable TV, has just been cancelled!  And after all, this IS the cancel culture, right?  

So somehow or other watching cops on "LivePD" catch bad guys is bad.  Watching Black cops catch Black guys is bad.  Watching Black cops catch White guys is bad.  Watching White cops catch Black guys is bad.  Watching White cops catch White guys is bad.  For that's what's been happening on this TV show for the past three years.  Cops catching bad guys.  All day, all night.  And now I guess cops catching bad guys is...dare we say it?  RACIST!

But wait, there's more!  Looney Tunes has just relieved Porky Pig of his rifle.  He's been disarmed by a guy with a pen (proving once again that the pen is mightier than the sword!).  He can no longer hunt that "wascawwy wabbit."  I hear they're going to issue him a scythe.  A scythe!  He's going to hunt down a rabbit using an implement better suited to harvesting grain!  But hey, that's what Social Justice Warriors do deep in the bowels of some Hollywood studio:  they smoke a doobie and then come up with some inane dumbass stupid ridiculous answer to a question nobody's been asking.

It gets even better!  Now the pantywaist snowflake pukes at HBOMax have pulled "Gone With The Wind" from their streaming service. This, perhaps the greatest motion picture ever made, has been taken down from this channel's lineup because, ummmm, well, ummm, just because.  I'm told they might bring it back at some later time, but only with a group discussion trailer explaining to the prospective viewer that he/she/it is a racist for wanting to watch it.  And that he/she/it has their "white privilege" on display.  And that he/she/it should feel "shame" for having enslaved these people.  Even though they had nothing to do with enslaving anyone.  I mean, hello!  All they want to do is watch an award-winning movie, for God's sake!  Oscar Winner Hattie McDaniel, the very first "woman of color" (that means she's Black) to win a statue, will now be unavailable for anyone to see.  Isn't that...dare we say it?...RACISM!  Too bad. 

BTW, the Number One selling movie on Amazon right now is "Gone With The Wind."  Ordinary folks just trying to get in front of the mob, I'd say...

And it would be a shame to fail to mention famed NFL quarterback Drew Brees' recent kerfuffle.  He had the temerity to say that we should all stand and show our respect to the Flag when our National Anthem is played.  Imagine!  Being proud of your country is now so yesterday's news!  He was excoriated on social media by Black football players.  To think, Brees wants us to be patriotic Americans!  Hell no, sayeth the "protesters."  He had to walk  back his statement not once, not twice, not three times, but four separate, gut-wrenching times!  And he may not be through apologizing yet!  Poor ol' Drew!  Even though this guy has given more than $5 Million of his own money to local charities, he obviously never learned that bullies are never, ever satisfied with any room you give them.  They'll always want more.  And then more again.

Appeasement begets aggression.  Always.

BTW, I'll never watch the Saints again, or the NFL.  As a patriotic American, and Flag-loving veteran, I say screw them all.  But hey, that's just me. 

And just in case you thought it wouldn't happen, famous tax cheat Rev. Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy at one of the very many funerals for George Floyd, during which he called upon the NFL to give poor ol' Colin Kaepernick his job back.  Hmmm.  Using a funeral to demand a private corporation give a has-been, multi-millionaire, whimpering socialist boil-on-the-butt of humanity his job back.  Alfonso Sharpton as a career counselor.  I do believe this is a first...

And then there's one I never even imagined we'd see.  A Black Oklahoma State star running back happened to see a photo of his coach Mike Gundy on a fishing trip, wearing an "OAN" t-shirt.  "OAN," if you don't know, happens to stand for "One America News."  It's a small San Diego news outlet that leans conservative.  One of the very, very few that does so.  But this full-ride, free education football player was so triggered by this open display of...the freedom of expression, that he stated he would not play any more OKU unless his coach apologized.  Which his wimpy, woosie, social justice warrior coach just did.  He said, and I quote, "I'm sorry for the pain and discomfort I've caused."  I hope you lose every future football game, Mr. Bundy.  You're a coward, and by being one, you invite such future rabid displays as a result.    

But not to be missed on my way out the digital door, "protesters" in Richmond, VA this week decided to take out their ire on a statue of Christopher Columbus.  They started by pulling it down, then spray painted it, then set it on fire, and then threw it in a nearby lake.  Couldn't they have blown it up, too?  Yup, good ol' Chris must have done something racist to these "protesters."  Must have pissed them off reeeeel good, I'm thinking!  Can't imagine what, but hey, they wouldn't have beat up an innocent statue, would they?

I wonder what's next?  What will be adjudged "racist" next week, or next month?  What statue will need to be torn down?  What movie or book will need to be censored?  Or banned entirely?  What building will need to be burned?  What uptown shop will need to be looted?  And what society will forever be harmed inevitably and incalculably and incurably because of the antics of these "protesters?" 

I believe it's time we all reread George Orwell's book "1984" right about now... 

Just remember, when the Taliban conquered Afghanistan, the very first thing they did was collect all the books and CDs and DVDs.  They collected them in piles and ran over them with D-9 Cat tractors.  They then poured bottle after bottle of seized alcohol on the pile and set them all on fire.  And then they took mortar shells and destroyed several ancient nearby 4,000 year-old monuments.  Does any of this now seem remotely familiar?  I guess that's next.  Destroying ancient monuments.  

Oh wait.  they're doing that now!  

And it gets even better.  The BLM gang are now demanding the removal of the Washington and Jefferson Monuments.  Perhaps they'll stop accepting American money because it displays portraits of dead White presidents.  Unless they steal it, of course.  As the saying goes, 

"Better buckle up.  It's going

to be a bumpy ride."  

One Man's Opinion...

Each generation in America's rich history has been called upon to pay a price for the freedoms that we hold so very dear.

Each generation starting with the one that breathed life into this Great Country has been called upon to pick up arms and defend those self-same freedoms in wars fought both foreign and domestic, throughout our more than 240 year history.  More than 200 of them, actually.

The Civil War shaped a generation.  It actually cost us nearly a generation of our young men, as more than 670,000 Americans, both North and South, lost their lives.  That's the War, if you'll recall, where the North suffered enormous casualties in an attempt to defeat the institution of slavery.  The same North that was under the command of Abraham Lincoln, a Republican.

The First World War formed the centerpiece of another generation.  Our young men and women joined forces to defeat the Axis Powers, costing us a hundred of thousand more, leaving an indelible imprint on yet another generation.

The First was followed shortly by the Second World War, which consumed the entire Earth.  Our young people were called upon to pick up arms and fight both Germany and Japan, else we'd lose our vaunted freedoms forever.  Once again, we emerged victorious.  And we once again lost hundreds of thousands of our finest young people.

The Korean Conflict followed, as did the Viet Nam, ummm, "Unpleasantness," each forming the foundation upon which those generations based their core beliefs on what it means to be an American, and why we must fight so very hard to defend it.  And we did.  More died defending our vaunted freedoms.

But then something happened.  Conscription of draftees ended in 1973.  Before that, when we needed soldiers and sailors and Marines we just drafted them.  After 1973, we began relying on those who joined a new "professional" military.  No more would the young from all over the fruited plain be called upon to defend America.  And its freedoms.  

Some said this was an improvement.  And in many ways, it was...and is.  The average I.Q. of our current soldiers and sailors is higher, quite a bit higher, than it was prior to the end of conscription.  And the level of education is also higher.  More than half of all soldiers now have a college education.  The end of the draft actually became the beginning of a professional military corps.  Congratulations.

However, as with most things, there's another side to this issue.  No longer would we be drafting kids from the inner cities.  From Detroit, and Baltimore, and Chicago, and Jackson, Mississsisssisisiippi.  And we'd no longer be drafting kids from Chevy Chase, and Nob Hill.  The upper crust, so to speak.  When I was drafted the Army looked like America; Black, White, Red, Yellow and every shade in between.  And they came from the poorest areas of America, and the richest.  And thus they forced a coming-together of America's youth, from which they'd then be dispersed out to the hinterlands to spread the experiences they'd had while serving.

I can tell you there were no "Blacks" and "Whites" when I was in the Army.  And thus, there was no "racism."  There was only the guy with a rifle who might save you on the right, and the guy with a rifle who might help save you on the left.  We were all the same.  We were all scared.  We feared death.  We knew that the only way we'd get out of that horrific experience was to rely on one another.  And we did.  All of us.  Thank God.

Less than 1% of our citizens have now served in the military.  Or in any mode of service whatsoever, including the Peace Corps, for that matter.  Now that the draft has ended less than 1% have served.  And that means that our citizens now have no "muscle memory" of what it means to pick up a weapon and fight for our freedoms.  My generation fought for those freedoms.  We valued them.  We valued the Flag which represented them.  We fought for the National Anthem that reverberated within us to our core.  We had to.  We needed to!  We may not have loved our Country when we went in, but we sure as Hell loved it by the time we got out.  And that's the reason I'm so firm in my belief in the Flag, and so dedicated to defending and preserving it.  

And that's the reason I'm so angered by those who choose to disrespect both it and the men and women who've died to protect it.  I'm angered by those who burn it.  And stomp on it.  And choose to "kneel" when our National Anthem is played prior to a sporting event.  And why so many of my fellow veterans are as well.       

Now?  Our  "millinellliaeal" generation has never fought for its freedoms.  They've never even suffered a hangnail for their freedoms.  And thus, they do not value them.  And they do not, as a class, value America, the Country that offers them.  That's being proven on the streets of America each and every day now.  Unfortunately.  In fact, it seems they blame America for whatever they want but do not yet have.  Add to that the student loans they've taken out for a degree in Medieval Lesbian Poetry, which qualifies them to do nothing but ask, "Would you like fries with that?"  And that's why, in my opinion, we're now watching young, White milllennelleials, alongside their Black co-conspirators, bashing cop car windows, and torching police stations, and looting jewelry stores.  And taking over blocks and blocks of a downtown American city, as if they'd launched a military coup.  Which, it appears, they have...

I personally do not care whether a Colin Kaepernick chooses to kneel when the National Anthem is played, or if any of the other members of the NFL do either.  That's their choice.  We fought for them to make such a choice.  It's an inconsiderate, insolent, short-sighted, foolish, unpleasant, unnecessary, incendiary, unpatriotic and anti-American choice, but it's theirs to make.

The NFL has now chosen to officially support what I consider to be anti-American displays.  And just like they have the right to choose how their players should act, I have now chosen to never again watch an NFL contest as a result.  Or any other sport or organization that chooses to support, in my opinion, anti-American activities.  And I believe I'll be joined in that choice by millions of other "silent majority" Americans who value this Great Country and the symbols for which it stands.   

I believe the NFL will pay an awful price for their appeasement.  For appeasement begets aggression.  Which we're all now witnessing...

It's been said that you can tell a lot about a man by where he stands on an issue.  Or, in this case, where he kneels...

"You Let a Camel Get His Nose Under the Tent..."

The so-called "MainStreamMedia" has been telling you there's an epidemic of Blacks being killed by White cops.  They call it "systemic racism."  Joe Biden calls it "systematic racism."  But of course he does...

Lost Angeles' dimbulb mayor Garcetti says, "Systemic racism is racism built into systems."  Hmmmmmm...

They're lying, and beclowning themselves.  Again.  That's what they do.

The facts:*

     -  There were 1,004 fatal police shootings all across America last year.

     -  In the overwhelming majority of cases, the individual shot by the police was armed.

     -  Of those, 371 of the deceased where White, and 236 were Black.

     -  There were only 10 cases in which an unarmed Black man was shot by an officer.

     -  In most of those cases, the officers were physically attacked.

     -  Two officers were prosecuted.

     -  In 2018 more than 7,400 Black Americans were murdered on the streets.  That means for every unarmed Black person shot to death by a police officer, more than 700 were murdered by someone else.  And that "someone else" is almost always Black.

     -  And finally, there's been a 60% reduction in police shootings between 2015 and 2019.*  

And, oh yeah, there were 90 people shot in Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend, and 18 of them were killed.  That was the very highest rate of carnage in Chicago in more than 60 years.  They were all Black.  It is believed that those who shot them were all Black.  Where is the outrage?  Where are the protests?  I guess only Blacks killed by White cops qualifies for outrage these days...  

Does this sound like there's a epidemic of White cops shooting innocent Black men?  

Yet, the "Black Lives Matter" movement has inserted itself right smack into the middle of this entire situation.  In fact, one could reasonably state that the BLM movement actually caused this situation.  A few rogue cops kill a Black guy...and immediately we must burn down America, and then loot all its stores, and defund and eliminate the police.  In other words, nearly 800,000 American cops are being judged for the actions of a very few.  Does that sound fair?

It does if you're a Marxist revolutionary bent upon carnage and disruption.  It does if you're pissed at the current system and you're dead-set on tearing it down.   

Annnnd, in order to put things right, and make up for centuries of injustice, the BLM folks have a screaming need to be elevated into a position of superiority in order to achieve equality.  In other words, you can't say "All Lives Matter" any more, because somehow that's "racist."  Somehow that demeans their entire effort.  Saying that "All Lives Matter" means you're "tone deaf," or so they say.  You must say "Black Lives Matter."  Only.  Because, ummm, you just must.  Because they say so.  Because they have weaponized the dictionary.  

Superiority, get it?  

Doubt me?  They're forcing their sycophants to bow down to them.  To apologize for their "White privilege."  To kiss their feet!  There's even a piece today on cops washing the feet of BLM leaders.  Washing the feet!  Do they think they're Jesus?  Or the Pope?  Or do the Social Justice Warriors on their knees believe that they are?  

The (Black) mayor of the District of Columbia just showed Trump her ass by having her minions paint "Black Lives Matter" in bright yellow on the streets of a plaza right next to the White House in letters large enough to be viewed from the International Space Station.  Boy, that oughta' show him!  Even the entire Democrat Black Caucus (is there a Democrat White Caucus?) kneeled on the floor of the Capitol Building this week for 8+ minutes, begging for absolution from our Black friends.  It was painful to watch.  It was also painful upon the knees, as San Fran Nan Pelosi had to be helped to her feet.  These same "leaders" excoriated Trump for holding a photo op at St. John's Church.  And then they proceeded to hold a photo op in the Capitol Building.  

The pandering was so obviously on steroids that everyone knew it...and seemingly no one cared.  And now the BLM website states that their singular goal is to defund our police, nationwide, and eliminate them.  Entirely.

Jeeeesh!  

So here's my take on this whole thing.  The biggest American cities are all run by Democrats.  So much so that you couldn't find a Republican anywhere nearby.  Minnneeeappallus, as an example, hasn't had a Republican mayor in more than 60 years!  And many of these same cities are dependent on their Black citizens for their continued reelection.  And so they pander to that "identity group" in any way they can.  And until those folks finally understand they're being played like a violin, this will not stop.

600 New York City cops have already indicated their intent to file for early retirement.  1,400 Lost Angeles City cops have done the same.  Consider that there are currently less than 9,000 L.A. cops, and as many as 20% are out on sick leave, and you get an idea how immediately losing 15% of them could impact street policing.   

Until then, I know that I'll be keeping my guns cleaned and my powder dry.  And so will another 100+ Million other gun-owning Americans who will not be abused by a small group of Marxist revolutionaries.  Think Dodge City in the old west.  No law, but lots and lots of armed militias beholden only to those willing to pay.  And those least able to pay are the ones the Democrats and the MSMedia and BLM are planning to abandon; to make targets.    

You'd better fix this problem, America, or lose it.  Famous 18th century French philosopher Alexis DeToqueville once opined that America could never be defeated from without.  Only from within.  It appears that effort is sincerely underway by those who hate America and want it destroyed.  Do something.  Our liberty is teetering on the edge...  

NEWS FLASH:  Marxist revolutionaries have taken over 7 blocks in downtown Seattle, Washington.  They have declared themselves to be sovereign, and have begun barricading their new "country."  An abandoned police station is their new headquarters.  They have declared a new nation within our nation.  And the police, at the Mayor's orders, are nowhere to be found.  

There's an old Arabic saying:  "You let a camel get his nose under the tent, pretty soon you have a camel in your tent..."  

*   Washington Post, June 8th (they did their best to hide the statistics)

**  Washington Post, again (although I doubt they were happy to report it).

Introducing, POOPSS!

NEWS FLASH!  The Minnneeappullus City Counsel just voted to defund and eliminate its police department!  So has NYC's "Mayor" Warren Wilhelm, Jr. (better known as Bill De Blasio).  Another 4 major Democrat cities are preparing to do the same, and who knows how many others will follow?  It seems that these cities are blaming America's 800,000 police officers for the actions of a very few.  

But that brings up a question.  How long will it be before all our cops quit and leave America defenseless?  How long will it be before all or most of our nearly 800,000 police officers decide that they've grown weary of being humiliated, shamed, mistreated, underfunded, abused, debased, ignored, underpaid, lied about and blamed?  And how long will it be before you won't be able to pay them enough to take the crap that's being shoveled?  

I'd say that those early in their careers will bale, and those toward the end will immediately retire.  This will leave the Force decimated, hollowed out, with perhaps less than half the current numbers.  With the remainder less well trained and managed.  And that should please the BLM folks just fine!

Well, Pilgrim, listen up!

Upset that roving gangs of rioters and looters and anarchists and arsonists are torching a community near you?  

Angered that you cannot drive where you want or walk where you need for fear of being accosted or beaten, or even worse, by gangs of miscreant hoodlum thugs, dead-set on removing from you your hard-won freedoms?  And your property?  And maybe your life?

Pissed that your elected officials seem to have kowtowed to the violent mobs encroaching upon your fair city?  That they not only aren't protecting you and your property, but seem to be on the side of those doing the violence?

Concerned that you might have no police support just when having police support is most important?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I'm pleased to announce the...

"Pissed Off Old
People's Security
Service!"

Yes, friends, today is your day!  Simply give us a call and the POOPSS patrol will be there quicker than a Democrat raises taxes.  We'll protect your business and your home and your family from all looters and anarchists and arsonists and violent protesters night or day, every day of the week.

We'll show up when you need us most and stay where you need us to be until the looters grow tired of trying to separate you from your valuables.  Or your life.  Yes, we're armed, with approved weaponry and lots and lots of ammo to go "boom."  We bring only the latest model AR-15s, just to piss off the commie pinko dumbass liberal weenies who might be paying attention.  And the very worst thing you want if you're a crazed looter is a pissed off old Viet Nam-era vet with a bad back and prostate troubles standing between you and something to steal.  That would be a baaaaad idea!  

Just think!  It will be Dodge City all over again!  Gangs of roving thieves and looters and arsonists and anarchists being put in their place by a few old bad asses with little to lose, and not a whole lot of time in which to lose it.  Ask yourself:  would you want to confront an old guy with a gun and the knowledge and willingness to use it?  

I don't think so!

Picture your business with a half dozen old farts packing serious heat, standing ominously in front of your shoe store or your pharmacy or your Dairy Queen, just daring a bunch of foolhardy miscreants to "make their day."

So, fear not about your elected officials failing to protect you as per their sworn oath.  They won't be around.  But we will, and we'll do it for them!  And at a fair price!  Just supply us with plenty of Ensure and coffee and some donuts and a beer or two later in the day and we'll be just fine. 

So call 1-800-4POOPSS* and we'll take it from there...

*  (Don't call this number.  Nobody will answer.  That's because it isn't real.  Just like this whole Marxist movement that's attempting to destroy America from the inside...)

Uptown Looting...

Did you ever wonder just how many Louis Vuitton handbags it takes to assuage perceived racism?  To make looters and anarchists and arsonists feel like they've done enough to insure that George Floyd is given a resounding sendoff?  Or to just pad their wallets with uber-expensive crap they don't need and cannot use?  

But stuff that can be quickly converted into crack or meth or weed?  

That question is raised because the Portland Louis Vuitton store was trashed by looters this past Sunday.  These poor "protesters" "liberated" nearly $500 Grand worth of high-end tony little handbags while attempting to burn this famously-liberal old city to the ground.    

I thought their choice of merchandise was telling also.  One of the looters took a couple of sweet Pouchettes.  The first was a $2,560.00 Pouchette Metis in signature Vuitton monogram with gold hardware.  The second was a Pouchette Grenelle in "seaside" with silver hardware.  They also snatched a nice little $2,400 Palm Springs MM in signature monogram with gold hardware.    

(NOTE:  Prior to doing my exhaustive research for this little rant, I'd never heard of a "Pouchette" or a "Metis" or a "grenelle," and still have no idea what that means.  I doubt you do either.  And I'd say also that for $2,400, the hardware ought to be solid gold.)

These looters also emptied every other high-end store in Portland during their several-hour purge.  And nary a cop was to be found.  I'm guessing their mayor told them to stand down.  Or maybe sit down would be a better term...

Hundreds of other looters destroyed stores and buildings and monuments throughout America.  They even set fire to St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.  Some of my favorite lootings, all sure to make the "Top Looter Award" for 2020, which no doubt will be shown live on BET this fall, with the infamous tax cheat Rev. Al Sharpton doing the MC duties, include the following:

     -  Looters grabbed more than $2.4 Million worth of Rolex watches from a store in SoHo.  At least they have good taste.

     -  A brand-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV (only 32 in all of America!) rolled up to a Hermes store in NYC last weekend and its occupants emptied it.  Only a few of these super-special SUVs were ever made, with a value of more than $350,000.  I guess the uber-rich were doing a little late-nite shopping.  As I said, looting is going uptown these days.

     -  As you may have heard, Macy's had given $500,000 to the BLM movement, with heartfelt expressions of solidarity with their cause.  And then the looters broke into its Flagship Store in NYC and took everything but the shelving units.  Maybe you just can't give them enough money to make them change their stripes. 

So I would be remiss if I didn't offer up a potential solution or two to this rather massive problem our Country now faces.  I've given it a bunch of thought.  And I I believe I have the answer to our collective problems.  First, fire all the White cops and replace them with Black ones.  That would help to cure Black unemployment as 700,000 Black folks would fill previously-White cop jobs.  And screw the White folks summarily displaced, right?  Maybe it will make them finally understand what it means to be Black.  Or something...  

Second, tear down all the statues, tall and short, wherever they may be.  No more statues for us Americans.  We simply aren't adult enough to appreciate the efforts and achievements of our forebears, especially those who labored for goals we do not now hold dear.  Revisionist history is well under way here, fellow Pilgrims!    

And third, since it's apparent that the NFL now believes that it's apropos to kneel for our Flag, simply stop playing the National Anthem before games.  This would rob protesters of an opportunity to beclown themselves and our Country.  

Or perhaps even better, simply shutter the NFL and stop playing football.  Since it used to be a sport, and apparently has ceased to be, perhaps we're all better off to spend our quality free time in another endeavor...  

Fourth, put the word out far and wide that ALL LIVES MATTER.  Whether Black or White, Red or Yellow, all lives matter.  And anyone who believes that only Black lives matter should be reminded that they are the ones that embrace "pro choice," and it is my choice to believe that all lives matter.  

And oh yeah, believing that only Black lives matter is racist, in my opinion.  And I get an opinion, whether you like it or not.  Period.

There.  I think I've cause quite enough trouble for one day.  Chuckmesiter, OUT!

So I Was Kind of Wondering...

We're 9 days into a protest/riot/looting/burning, and I'm kind of wondering just when it will all end.

Perhaps you could help.  I'm wondering if there's a proscripted, agreed-upon, universally recognized and accepted protest period for various and sundry perceived slights to our African-American residents?  Like for instance, if a White cop accidentally shoots a Black man's poodle, what's the appropriate period of protest?  Is it one day?  Or perhaps two?  Or even more?

If a White cop were to accidentally run over a Black woman in an intersection, and kill her, how long should we protest?  A couple of days?  More?  And should we throw in some rioting/burning/looting?  And if so, how many stores should we loot and burn to make up for that poor Black woman that the evil White cop ran over?  

And if a White cop kneels on the neck of a Black man, and kills him, what's the appropriate period of protesting to make up for that terrible crime?  I mean, I'm a White guy, and I've never killed a Black guy, or ran over a Black woman, or done in a Black man's poodle, so I have no idea what to expect in terms of protesting/rioting/looting/burning.  So I could use a little help.  Some advice.  Do you know?  Where do we go to find out?

I ask because a White cop killed a Black guy the other day (you probably heard) and immediately there were protests plus riots/burning/looting in 38 of our biggest cities.  And as if by magic we had tens of thousands of protesters parading with their already-made signs up and down the streets of 38 of our biggest, all Democrat-run cities.  And automatically there appeared shrink-wrapped pallets of nice, new red bricks, and frozen bottles of water, and baseball bats, just a half-block or so off Main Street in each locale.  Ready they were/are for the anarchists and arsonists to load a backpack-full and prepare to throw them at the nearest cop.

So you'll forgive me if I'd like to learn what to expect.  How long should this current protest/riot/looting/burning last?  I mean, we haven't had a White cop kneel on the neck of a Black guy until he was dead lately, so I have no idea how long we should embrace our bunker mentality.  And, considering there are more than 800,000 cops in America, God help us if another one goes sideways.  

I would have thought that torching 172 buildings in Minnnneeappullus would have been enough.  Or storming the White House.  Or sacking Macy's Flagship Store in Midtown Mannhatttinnn.  Or stealing $2.4 million dollars worth of Rolex watches in SoHo.  Or torching St. John's Episcopal Church, just across the street from the White House.  Or tossing a molotov cocktail into a 3-horse trailer and then dancing and laughing while the horses all burned to death.

You didn't see that on CNN/MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CBS/ABC/PBS/NPR now did you?

But I would have been wrong.  What we've experienced thus far has not been enough.  Apparently.  So if you have an idea how much longer we might be forced to live with this unbelievable horsh*t, I'd appreciate a write-back with the details.  I'll be sure to share it with others who are just as pissed and confused and upset and anxious and outraged about the current events as am I...

Oh yeah, and as I'm on the way out the digital door, I'll leave you with this kind thought:  Is there anyone left out there who doesn't understand why some people need an AR-15 and a 30 round magazine?
