Looking At Ourselves, For Once

AT THE SENIOR CENTER, I got the eye - The rural blue collar provincial right wing racist eye; that eye. The small southern town contemptuous disdainful sideways surreptitious quick glance. In and out, rapid fire, so as to elude detection. I consider it among my greatest honors. The lady reads my website! Here, especially for you, is a quick historical sociological lesson, dear Imogene Kay Fay. European-Americans, aka "white folk", Aka "crackers", are, in depressingly, shamefully large numbers, racist. Every scientific study, and there have been many, clearly reveals this. A high percentage of white Americans hate African-Americans, aka "black folk", for no other reason than African-american skin pigmentation, for the "crime" of being darkly pigmented. For being "other". For being different than we. Black people, conversely, cannot, by definition, be racist. What they can and often do is hate white people for the crime of 246 years of enslavement, the crime of over one hundred years of Jim Crow segregation, exclusion, humiliation, and racism, an uninterrupted chain of causal connections beginning in 1619 and continuing to this day, 2017. Confronted with that burden of history and current American society, black people haven't the time, psychic energy, or inclination to hate anyone for something so trivial as skin pigment. Hatred of skin pigment is the exclusive domain of we the white folk. The blacks have far better reasons for their eminently justifiable hatred of white dominated American society. White racism remains a deeply ingrained, four hundred year white American tradition, an institution, legally sanctioned in these United States of Abominations. It manifests at all levels of American government and society, in the American political, economic, law enforcement, and legal system. We whites just can't seem to muster the integrity or courage to admit our guilt, so we create something imaginary which we arrogantly and dishonestly call "reverse racism". If you think otherwise, dear Imogene Kay Fay, reserve your pious sanctimonious racist resentment for Harvard University, and every other esteemed institution of higher education in America - for it is they who have done the research, have paid attention to and studied American culture and cultural values down to the very roots, factually, scientifically. Meanwhile, you just go right on ahead giving me your condescending side glancing evil eye. Whenever you do so, in your sneaky, indirect manner, I'll gaze right back at you, straight on, with laughter and contempt in my gaze. You'd be better off looking straight ahead into a mirror, at yourself, examining your core values. But of course, that might be far too much to expect.
