what BLACKs need to understand about FASCISM (at home)

"Communism", and "Antisemitism" (always in the News); "FASCISM" (never)

My most vivid memories are my earliest, from the days of World War II. I remember the popular, and racist, references to all Japanese. Never any bad references about Germans or Italians, however. I had to learn from the History Books about the alliance between Hitler and Stalin; before he switched sides, to fight against Hitler, alongside FDR and Churchill.

It seems that the ink was not dry on the Agreements to end the War, in Europe, and, later, Japan, before we were deep into McCarthyism, and the Cold War against Stalin's Russia. The American people were not told in the Newspapers, that huge numbers of Hitler's forces were admitted to citizenship in the U.S. at the end of the War. Public School curricula "whitewashed" away, any references to Nazis or Fascists! The Hard Right swung, immediatelyk into Gestapo tactics, hunting for "Communists", everywhere. One of the Geometry students I tutored in San Francisco, in 1960, was a member of a family from Hitler's Germany. Her father served Hitler, and yet, they were allowed to buy into the brand new suburb of Daly City; at a time when Blacks and Jews were restricted from that by Housing Segregation Laws.

McCarthyism was not interested in the Fascists among us. Before the War, Lindberg and the America First Committee http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1643.html formed to keep the U.S. from entering War II. Pearl Harbor reversed that push; turning the American People against that push by the Hard Right.

J. Edgar Hoover, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon; all rose to political prominence on the back of McCarthyism. All Civil Rights activities were suspected by the Right to be inspired by Communists.

TRUMP brings all of this to life in his "America First" Foreign Policy Speech. He seeks to take us to the Right of Reagan, but not as far to the Right as CRUZ. Those who know CRUZ best in the Congress, know he thinks he is a reincarnation of the Fuhrer! It is amazing the response TRUMP enjoys in the MEDIA and within the population at large. They rise, as if a Ghost has been conjured!

Stay Vigilant! Those Blacks, and other non-whites who "play ball" with the Republicans have been kept ignorant of the real intentions of this tribe of Hate-filled Folk. The Cold War provided complete cover for them to organize and grow, for the past 70 years!

TRUMP "Blame's" OBAMA (for 911/ and everything BUSH)!!

Read his vaunted "Foreign Policy" Speech

http://time.com/4309786/read-donald-trumps-america-first-foreign-policy-speech/

For about 45 minutes, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, as TRUMP rambled through his speech, heralded in advance by the likes of the vacuous Andrea Mitchell. He is clearly NOT a politician, and his credibility as an "entertainer" can be seriously questioned. His "cred's" as a slick Con Artist, Propagandist, or, something "worse" is apparent!! Although he is running as a REPUBLICAN, his PARTY afilliation can also be questioned; after listening to this speech.

He worship's REAGAN, but "air-brushes" everything the Bush Presidents did (Soviet Collapse, 9/11, Iraq Invasion, Economic Disaster, Middle East intrigues with Israel, Abu Ghraib, al quaeda in Iraq)! He artfully blames all of that on Obama! He even blames Iran's beneficial position in the Region on Obama, when that derived from the Iran'Iraq War, during Reagan's Administration! Of course you have to know how to think, and read, and remember things -- his followers are socially-functioning Morons, with that qualifying I.Q.!!

Those of my age have seen this Movie before!! He gives Obama CREDIT for NOTHING!! White Supremacists are notorious for never giving their repair and maintenance people credit for anything!

He promises White Male Supremacy for the World!! It is too kind to describe him as Authoritarian! He is far worse. He loves Putin and Netanyahu, and HATES Obama. Read the Speech.! American Citizens who want what he promises, want to return to our very dark PAST, on this planet!

Stay Vigilant! It started with the BUS (for desegregating schools), and, NIXON. Those White Supremacists, admitted to the GOP by NIXON; were joined by Archie Bunker Democrats, when Reagan promised that they would become Middle Class. During the GOP Rule of Hastert, in our House of Representatives, Dick and Dubya threw all Poor Whites "under the BUS", when they "tanked" the Economy. The "Lipstick" of teleprompters, and "Presidential" settings, provided a poor disguise for this Demagogue!

"Amerikka" for SALE?? (ev'ry 4 years) ...

... maybe, its the DELEGATES, (stupid)!!

Wonder why our Presidents have been so much "less" than we have expected; (from the time of the Assassinations of the 1960s, until the election of Obama in 2008)?? People have been right to point to the decline of Political Parties; after Television brought us those first televised Debates, between Kennedy and Nixon. However, the "revolution" that took place at the Democrat Convention, in Chicago, in 1968, might be where we ought'ta look?? Maybe that "revolution" is still going on??

We older ones might remember white kids gettin' their heads busted by Cracker Cops; a fore-runner for Rodney King, and Police Riots in Southern California, more than twenty years later. Four years after Chicago, Cracker Cops gunned down students on Campus in Ohio (an escalation?)!!

Let's go back and take a look at the DELEGATES at that Convention in 1968. Sure, the Political Party has never been the same since 1968; but the real story may be told by the transformation of the role of the DELEGATEs in both Political Parties.

Convinced that my fellow voters may have had enough of Reagan in 1984, I helped by teen-age daughter in her Private School class project to get out the vote for Mondale/Ferraro. I learned from a very rich Democrat on Palos Verdes Peninsula that there was a price tag, for just about every political office in the Country (above the level of Dog Catcher, that is). Nor all that MONEY that politicians beg for in elections goes to MEDIA. Much of it is used to BUY DELEGATES!! TRUMP is dis-robing the Parties and showing us their their ugly guts!!

Stay Vigilant! Both TRUMP and BERNIE are in the right Church! They're in the WRONG Pew!

The FOUNDERS worried about FACTIONS (what we know as Political Parties). Their Constitution did not prescribe these. The Delegate System and the buying of Political Office has grown, mysteriously, since the 1960s. WHO gets to be a Delegate? HOW?? Are they CONSTITUTIONAL?? WHOM do they Represent?? Should each STATE set the rules for DELEGATE Selection? These are the issues TRUMP and BERNIE should be campaigning on??

when "Desperado(s)" DIE, (alone) ...

... the DOVEs "Cry"

FAREWELL! Sweet PRINCE!

Frederick Douglass, almost two hundred years ago, told us where this SOUND, the world has come to know as "Black (american) MUSIC", came from. It reflected the "hollers" from the Fields, in our Sewer States. It was evidence of PAIN, from the lash and the labor; that still resonates today. The Terror in the "bones" of Whites in the Americas, began with their fear of hearing "drums in the night"! That Terror has only grown; to the absurd point of belief that ISIS will invade their neighborhoods.

Bernard DeVoto told us, almost a hundred years ago, that Black MUSIC was the "best in the World"! Time continues to prove him right! From the DUKE, and the COUNT, and the PRINCE; that river continues to flow; as do the Injustices and TRAGEDIES, it reflects.

Montesquieu revealed how Europe is locked in an Eternal Battle to prove that its version of Christianity is REAL. That Religion was kept alive in Africa for centuries after the death of Jesus; before the Romans adapted it; and the Roman Church was born! Europe seems determined to prove that Whites are the real HUMANS, and non-Whites; especially Africans, and their descendants, are less than HUMAN! Montesquieu says that Europe learned it from the Egyptians. The situation in the Middle East today, bears that out! Where is Lawrence, when Arabia needs him so much??

That "sickness" is with us, as we agonize over our choices of whom will replace President Obama.

Minneapolis, MN continues its outpouring of genuine acceptance of PRINCE as a neighbor. Not many places in the United States will do that for someone is is not WHITE. The Minnesota of Humphrey (who was the real architect of our Civil Rights Legislation) had a history of that. That State, like so many of our States, was invaded by "knuckle-dragging", "Bible-quoting" sewage from our Southern States, in the name of the Republican Party. They elected Jesse Ventura, a buddy, and a political role model for Donald Trump. Minnesota learned that that element (throw in Schwarzenegger) cant' GOVERN. Maybe, come to think about it, THAT is what these sons of the "Ol South" really want?? Our last Civil War, in the 19th Century, was, perhaps, too bloody?

Stay Vigilant! It's not too late to save our Nation, and our Constitution, by wiping out the Republican Party at the Ballot Box!! In the run-up to our Civil War, that is what happened to the Whigs!!

4-21-16: (date of) DEATH of PRINCE!!

(also, the birthday of a 90-yr-old Queen)

Born 4 years before the birth of my first child; PRINCE, like Michael Jackson, were icons

for my children, and, for their Generation. Both were born in the early days of what has become known as the Civil-Rights Era. I, as well as most parents of Black, or African-American, Negro, or, "Colored" children was confident that these children would all enjoy better lives than we had, that far, experienced!! It was especially horrifying to watch them die so young, and so tragically!

Our Nation mourned, but, I'm sure no other part of this Nation felt the special pain that We, as the parents of those children, felt. They were both "our" children"! Their deaths tugged at that special fear that haunts all parents: the death of their children! Parents are not supposed to lose their children!! That's not Nature's Way!

Modern Media was a persistent menace, to the lives of both Michael and PRINCE. Media is particularly destructive when it decides to single out well-recognized non-white males as targets for "Tabloid Attention"! The list of victims (both living and dead), grows longer each day! (You are receiving this unique message from a BLOGGER, who is Black, and approaching 77 yeas in age! I've seen a lot!

On this day, also, we are warned to brace ourselves; for what is surely to become one of the most blatantly racist, and generally low-down Political Races for the Presidency in the memories of anyone in the USA!

Billions of dollars to fund "DIRT" on Television, is readily available to fight what might be the dirtiest campaign in more than 100 years! REPOOBs (Republicans) will very likely be stuck with either TRUMP or CRUZ as their front-runner. To DEFEAT Hillary; both of them will rely on racial HATE, to couple with the FEAR hidden in the bowels of White Voters!

Stay Vigilant! We may never know how many Whites, who "Love" PRINCE, will also VOTE for TRUMP or CRUZ; in the secrecy of the Ballot Box?? Only in Amerikka??

OBAMA v. BARBARIANS??

"history" UNVARNISHED??

Last night, as the New York Primary election results rolled in, I watched Charlie Rose's Interview of President Obama. The topic was the recent Goldberg Interview, and the so-called "Obama Doctrine". (President Obama disputed the term).

If you missed it, you can watch it on your PC http://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-obama-foreign-policy-doctrine-syria-putin-cease-fire-charlie-rose-interview/

It is obvious, the White House hasn't had such a brilliant MIND in charge, since Abraham Lincoln! Small wonder that those running to succeed him have so much less to offer! Catch the comments at the end of the Interview, and you'll see what I mean. It is quite possible that Obama has saved many more lives than DickandDubya managed to slaughter!!

Where does the American lust to slaughter people come from? I trace it back to those "Barbarians" the Romans feared. I have no doubt that my forebears and I have had to contend, for centuries, with their descendants, in these United States of America. We know them as Mountain Men, Gunslingers, and Texan "Filibusterers". Their likes are fond among followers of TRUMP and CRUZ. CRUZ followers are cut-throats with a Religious caste; while TRUMP's followers are cut-throats, looking to get rich at the expense of some non-white Minority.

Among the long list of reasons given by those who most viciously oppose President Obama, (I'm often not sure whether Charlie isn't one of them),; the one thing that sticks most in their craw;( of people like McCain, Netanyahu, and the T-Party folk), is his refusal to play "John Wayne" in the Middle East!

Stay Vigilant! The Barbarians ultimately managed to "sack" Rome! Upon its ashes, they built a church, and a religion, that waged Crusades against non-Whites, and employed various variations of "fasci"; weapons used to keep Roman Citizens "in line"! As we enter the 21st Century, their exploits, ranging from creating the worst form of human slavery known, in Human History, to the Genocide of many Nations of People, may be catching up to their Kondratiev Cycle Limits. Their Religion, also, is losing its powers to keep their victims "in line" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave

"Foreigner(s)" (in the USA)?? (wanna GO where LOVE is)??

seeking VALUE(s)?? ... LOVE? or, MONEY??

New York City, historic Port of Entry for "foreigners", is raging over "Values", one day before the New York Primary. It turns out that CRUZ, appeals to his "VALUES Voters", by disparaging "New York Values"! TRUMP, his Rival; whom everyone knows is a "paragon of Values" , and a life-long New Yorker, has taken offense, and mounted his "high-horse"! Both are singing to their respective "choirs", and, bring our attention to those who most ardently follow them -- their Voters! Both CRUZ and TRUMP have mostly "knuckle-draggers" for followers; but, the VALUES of each "base" differ significantly!

The Values-Voters who follow CRUZ are mostly mean, hateful, scheming people. Because they are also super-Religious, all is "forgiven", if they lack LOVE for anyone who seems "foreign" to them.

TRUMP followers are more of the cut-throat, street-brawler types -- No LOVE there!

They have one (value?) in common: they view all people of Color, as "foreign", for some reason.

As a result, the Political Right in the USA have retreated to a point of "last stand" defense of White Supremacy. Most vulnerable are the children of Persons of Color. The world they are born into is fraught with dangers created on purpose by White Politicians of the Right, and, tacitly supported by White Politicians of the Left. As the final days in office of President Obama approach, and the view of what comes after looms larger, we see that the conditions for Black and Brown children are not likely to improve much. I'm sure many, if not most of them dream daily of "Going Where LOVE IS!!

Stay Vigilant! We still have a lot more to do, to undo the wreckage caused by Dick-and-Dubya!
