Round about 2013 all the evil flowers of the 1960s threw off spores and bloomed, and the “woke” arose as one, statues were toppled, buildings and streets were renamed, pictures were taken down, America was deconstructed, heroes were erased, history was distorted, speech was curtailed, conferences were canceled, people were de-platformed, videos were removed, accounts were suspended, deviance was exalted, the White man was vilified.
All the evils of our present age can be directly linked back to a single phrase that was first spoken in the 1980s: Dead White males, dead White males.
It’s what they want more of.
They don’t care about 1619, slavery, or Jim Crow, they don’t care about Indian genocide, Wounded Knee, or the “horrors” of the first Thanksgiving, they don’t care about redlining, segregation, or Emmett Till.
What they care about is you, and they want you gone.
They don’t care about systemic racism, institutional racism, White nationalism, or White supremacy.
What they care about is you, and they want you gone.
They don’t care about Christopher Columbus. Indeed, they don’t know a thing about him. When they pour blood on his statue and toss it in a lake that statue is just a stand-in for you.
It is murder by proxy.
But soon the real thing.
The don’t care about White fragility, Whiteness studies, or the White Man’s Burden.
What they care about is you, and they want you gone.
They don’t care about kids in cages, Operation Wetback, or illegals being sex trafficked or dying in the desert.
What they care about is you, and they want you gone.
They don’t care about the Tulsa Massacre, or Martin Luther King, or the Los Angeles Riots.
They don’t care about Black lives, in fact Black lives don’t matter to them at all. If they did they would talk about the Black family, the out-of-wedlock birthrate among Blacks, and the murderous nature of Black youth.
But they don’t care about that; they don’t care about that in the least.
And they don’t care about imperialism, de-colonizing the curriculum, or the evils of Manifest Destiny.
They don’t care about the evils of the Founders, or about “racism,” or about “homophobia,” or “Islamophobia,” or the victimization of perverts.
They don’t care about Michael Brown, or Matthew Shepard, or Trayvon Martin, or Breanna Taylor, and they certainly don’t care about George Floyd.
They don’t care about implicit bias, or about police brutality, or the invisible knapsack.
They don’t care about any of them or any of that.
You know what they care about.
They care about power and they want more of it.
They care about you and they care about me They care about the White man.
And they want us gone.
