Racism In America; Denying the Obvious, Easily

AFRICAN-AMERICANS FOUGHT FOR AMERICA during the Civil War, and during World Wars One and Two, among others. Each time, when the war was over, they transitioned right back into their former lives of segregation, discrimmination, and exclusion in post war, victorious, grateful America. Truman finally ended segregation in the military after World War Two. Kennedy issued an executive order requiring minority hiring. About time, eh? Even as we speak, income and wealth among American black people is but a fraction of that among American white people, and most or all of it has to do with federal American government housing and hiring policies. In a word; racism. Fast forward to today's conservative America, and our brilliant conservative leaders and would be leaders tell us that the only racism in Today's America is the type being invented and sold by people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who make an industry out of it. All these "incidents" involving African-American perps and European-American law enforcement officers are mere flukes, anomolies, which have nothing to do whatever with any widespread racism in America. Brilliant scheme: exploit their talents and patriotism, treat them like an underclass, then deny that they are being so treated. Here, in the great American fun hosue that is the United States of Amnesia, we simply imagine the world the way we would like it to be, and we live it, denying any and all evidence to the contrary. Can you imagine electing someone president of the United States who believes that racism, global warming, and evolution are all liberal hoaxes?
