NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

Another Man in Black

Friday, June 5, 2020 (Real Conservatives)

Good morning, America.

First this morning, I hear Minneapolis wants to do away with their police department. If that desire becomes “Woke Dream Come True,” I imagine Hollywood will literally “capitalize” on the result- and remake a few Charles Bronson vigilante movies…

After supporting Candace Owens yesterday, especially posting her amazing rant, I expected the worst- everything from being kicked off beloved Facebook to a few death threats. Surprisingly, it was “business as usual.”

However, there was one comment from a dear friend I highly respect, both for his intellect and artistic talent, that still haunts the silent chambers of my cranium. His question disappeared when I refreshed my browser, so he apparently deleted it. Nevertheless, that excellent observation needs to be addressed, so I shall attempt to accurately reconstruct his words from memory. He asked, “Because she (Candace) is correct, does that mean white people don’t have to change?”

Maybe I’ll finally be worthy of a few death threats, but my reply is simply, “No, white folks DO have to change.”

Yes, there are white rabble rousers delivering shipments of bricks to already troubled inner cities- and other such members of the Toxic Left “stirring the pot.” Neither myself nor my friend refer to that undesirable element of society.

White America, along with every other glorious shade of skin color across the United States, must stop playing into the hands of arrogant self-serving politicians who use race, religion and the poor among us to achieve nefarious agendas.

Many years ago, the outstanding white journalist John Howard Griffin authored “Black Like Me.” First published in 1961, the book chronicles John’s journey through the Deep South- after he sufficiently darkened his skin to pass as a black man. I suppose that monumental work, for all practical purposes, has been relegated to the proverbial “trash heap of history,” but it is unfortunately still relevant today for a variety of uncomfortable reasons. You should read it. The book was “required reading” in my college days- one of the few required books I actually read.

Way back on February 12, 2019, I wrote “Another Man in Black.” I’d begun dressing in black to make a fashion statement that few understood at the time. One of my best friends, a man I absolutely adore, asked, “What’s with the Johnny Cash look?”

In different ways in varied locations, I have tried to answer that question. Though I don’t recall the exact date or location, I do remember standing up in church before the congregation and actually saying “I wear black, because I have seen what’s coming.” For the most part, however, my explanation remains encapsulated in that song.

Needless to say, I’m not at brave as John Howard Griffin.

Nevertheless, as our great nation teeters on the edge of another Great Depression, the current civil war raging across America entails much more than rising racial tension. All shades of America must finally realize that this tragic conflict pits Marxist authoritarian socialism against the sacred ideals embodied in the Constitution of the United States- and what remains of “The American Dream.”

I love you, America- with all my might, mind and strength.
