Re: [blind-democracy] Re: #FlyingWhileMuslim: More Muslims Kicked off Flights for Nothing

It's a strange contradiction, this attack upon Chinese in Seattle, and
the growing strength of the IWW throughout Washington State. But that
is what White Super Racism can do. The growing unrest, along with
growing labor unions caused James Farley, Postmaster under FDR, to say
in 1936, "There are 47 states in the Union, and the Soviet of
Washington." Perhaps this was an over statement, but the point was
made. Unrest prevailed, and the pot was about to boil over.
But back to the Chinese. Not only were they no longer wanted, now
that the hard and dangerous job of building railroads was completed,
but those living here could not bring their wives and children into
the US. It became illegal for Whites and Chinese to marry. Sadly,
the Chinese were treated just about as poorly as were the Japanese,
the Mexicans and the Negros. We speak today of the "Glass Ceiling",
but these people were holed up in a cellar, looking up at a solid
cement ceiling.
Washington State managed to outgrow its radicalism and take its place
as a moderate member of the Establishment.
I was fortunate enough to have grown up in the tail end of those
Progressive times, and to have been born into a family that knew its
roots and was not afraid to tell the world. My folks had great trust
in the abilities of Working Class men and women. Was their trust
misplaced? Well, mother has been dead for 20 years and dad for 15,
yet their Spirit is alive and well in at least two of their three
children, as well as several of their grand children. While their
names have faded away, outside our family, their work continues to
expand like a stone tossed into a pool, circling outward. And most
important is the pride in the voices of family members whenever the
names and deeds of "Grandma and Grandpa" are spoken.
Is this enough to alter the headlong rush into Third World ism by
America? Not if enough of us join together and present a solid front,
an alternative place for the "Outsiders" to turn. Remember, our
survival on planet Earth was through our ability to ban together
against the fierce conditions that confronted us as we crawled out of
the Cave. We have been under constant pressure to turn away from this
solidarity and pretend that we are all self made men and women,
standing on our own feet, pulling ourselves up by our own boot straps.
The Rugged individual. Meanwhile, our Masters are well organized.
Even though they might cut the throats of one another, they join
together quickly to keep the boot on our throats. By buying into
their propaganda we enable them. We have allowed ourselves to fear
socialism. We want nothing to do with collectivism. And so we become
the front line troops in the destruction of ourselves. And we get our
chests puffed out as we salute "our" flag and sing "God Bless
America".
Like the Dodo bird, if we do not change our ways, we will be stomped
down one by one by the Master's boot.
