DENIAL

"Denial Ain't just a River in Africa"

Oh No!  Say it ain't so, Geraldo!  You didn't just blame the victim in the Trayvon Martin shooting.  Talk about blaming the victim!!  How can a sane mind come up with such crap!  Crediting the above quote to the rock tune, I also credit Bill Mahr for stating that Denial of Race is the new Racism. 

After 500 years of global psychological animus against persons of color, it seems the burden is too great to deal with racism only in the United States.  That makes sense, when you realize that the attitudes and beliefs came here by boat with early immigration; limited by law in the beginning to free white persons.  They found African slaves here, arriving a couple of years before the Mayflower.  Both the slaves and the white immigrants arrived on our shores 300 years after the trans-Atlantic slave trade was invented by Catholic clerics and the Pope to solve labor problems associated with digging gold and silver in Mexico.  

They devised the most immoral, heinous, degrading, and wealth-producing system mankind has witnessed.  The Roman slave system was benign compared to what that bunch created in Mexico in the early 1500's.  Governments, private corporations, and NGO's  are even today devising ways to continue the rape of Africa; which began around the time of the sailing of Columbus.

It's perhaps another example of the arrogance of U.S. citizens to think they can, alone, make a global condition disappear.  Religions of varying stripes keep banging the drums on the centuries-old color theme.  Witness the clown show in the deep South the Republicans call their Presidential Primary.

Fox News can take a bow; it strikes again!
