Re: [blind-democracy] Re: my random thoughts versus yours

Forgive my intrusion in this conversation, but it brought to mind some
interesting personal thoughts.
I was six and a half years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed, so many
of my early memories are those of a child. But I remember hearing my
parents and their friends talking about the Jews who tried to land on
American soil, and were rejected. And I remember my grade school
chums singing songs like, "If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a
Kike". If someone took advantage of another person, they would tell
their friends, "He Jewed me!" There were no Jewish children in class
with me, nor in the entire grade school during the nine years I
attended. Even as our troops were storming the gates of German
Concentration Hell Holes, and photographs of skeletal Jews were
appearing in American news papers, my little chums marched about the
schoolyard doing the goose step and shouting, "Heil Hitler!"
And oh, how tempting it was to simply join in with them. After all,
it was good clean fun, since we knew no Jews or Nazis, personally.
Fortunately, my parents talked with my sisters and me around the
dinner table, teaching us about discrimination and prejudice, and how
to watch out for two-faced politicians. As a result, I was called,
"Jew Lover!" and often backed up to the school house wall while some
of the "big boys" threw baseballs and tennis balls at me, while I
ducked and sniveled...one of my best talents.
Also, I knew Al and Sam. Al and Sam owned the Cascade grocery on
Aurora Avenue(highway 99), and open faced market that sold produce and
canned goods to folks rushing home after work. Al and Sam knew how
financially poor my parents were, and whenever they had produce that
was a bit past its prime, rather than tossing it out they gave it to
us. Juicy Peaches and Apricots, split watermelons and bananas that
were turning dark brown, and limp carrots, string beans and lettuce
were all "doctored up" by mother and we ate "high on the hog". Al and
Sam were Jews. And I would put them up against the kindest people in
America.
Then, in my Seventh Grade and at the age of Thirteen, America suddenly
embraced the Jewish refugees, generously "giving back" their long lost
homeland. Just as it happened back in the years of conquest and
expansion across North America, we simply shoved the people living in
the "Holy Land" aside, even pretending the land was unoccupied, and
welcomed the displaced Jews back home. Our government smiled broadly
and patted itself on the back for its show of generosity, and our News
Media raved about what a Great Land America was. Naturally I was
influenced by all the propaganda. I truly believed that the Second
World War had been so fierce and devastating a blow to so many
nations, that we would never allow such atrocities to ever occur
again!
Even as my Thirteen year old mind was believing this, Senator Joe
McCarthy and his ugly gang of Greed driven cronies were gearing up to
declare war on Communism, especially American Communists. And waiting
in the wings was the Korean "Conflict", which has never officially
ended.
And as we boasted to the world how generous and kind we were, our
White, Male Oligarchy went right back to its old habits. Negros were
forced into Ghettos where they were at the mercy of Slum Lords, Women
were shoved, kicking and screaming, back into their proper places--in
the kitchen and bedroom, Asians were forced to crowd into China Towns
or Jap Towns, migrant field hands from South of the Border were
"given" out house sized shacks to live in while working the fields and
orchards that gave the rest of us "the good life" of Middle Class
America. And Middle Class America went back to worshiping the
nation's millionaires, those "self made men". That is, we worshiped
the millionaires unless they were Jews.
Just below the surface of all our "love and kindness" boiled and
bubbled all the old angers and hatreds and prejudices and bigotry.
New faces, new names, different language to cover up our behavior, but
it was definitely back to business, as usual.
Remember that mirror that Cinderella's wicked step-mother looked into,
while saying, "mirror mirror, on the wall. Who's the fairest of them
all?" That is the self same mirror our Oligarchy looks into on a
daily basis. And its bought and paid for Media shouts back, "You are
the Fairest of them All, Master!"
Think of it. A nation that was built on the bodies of those people
who already occupied this Land, shipping in African Slaves and
indentured servants to work the land and do the menial jobs, bringing
in Asians from China and Japan to build the railroads and highways,
and all the time denying that there was such a thing as White
Privilege.
Of course Israel and the USA are such supporters of one another. They
are two of a kind. Grown strong on the broken backs of those
unfortunate people who toiled on the land desired by the invaders. It
actually has very little to do with religion, except in the fact that
the USA sees Israel as its buffer in the Middle East, standing against
Muslims.
But underneath it all is the same hatred and anger that has motivated
Mankind from our earliest recorded history.
Jesus had it right when he proclaimed that Man must reject his old
life and accept a new life. If Humans are to survive, we must set
aside the very beliefs and methods that proved successful in the past,
and establish new beliefs and approaches to how we exist together. It
may prove to be out of reach for our Species.
