WHAT’S THE BIG HUB BUB ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

WHAT’S THE BIG HUB BUB ABOUT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

FRAZER CHRONICLE

(All the News That Nobody Else Will Print)

President Obama used the “N” word, Confederate flag flies on South Carolina Statehouse grounds, skin-heads, supremacists groups advocate people of color (especially blacks) return to wherever they came from, and many in the United States are upset by racially motivated killings, and harassment by authority figures (cops) against people of color (mostly blacks.)

 

And the United States is the greatest country that the world has ever seen…hum, maybe we’d better stop here for a moment and evaluate that belief. I am patriotic, red-white and blue all the way baby, I love my country, however I am perceptive enough to understand that the country is made up of many different people, with different ethnic backgrounds, values, and traditions. It’s one of the things, this diversity, that makes the United States so unique and neat to live in.

 

We are supposed to have freedom of speech, be able to pursue health, happiness, and be able to make enough money to live comfortably on. Oh I know, the last part of the previous sentence, “making enough money to live comfortably on” isn’t written down in any preamble, or the US Constitution, but I think that’s what many people believe, want to see and experience.

 

Right now the country is all “het up” about that stupid, sick individual who shot all of those people in that South Carolina church. Sadly that punk’s actions were simply the tip of the iceberg, and there’ll be more to come.

 

I make my home in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers, and about 103,000 people. The percentage of blacks, Hispanics, Orientals and Native Americans is probably around 15%, not considered enough to make the overall population of the city diverse.

 

You can go into almost any tavern, any day of the week and listen to the conversation that’s going on between patrons and catch the racial slurs, especially on a Packers game day. It is not uncommon for people to use the “N” word…nigger…throughout the game, and in fact get worse as more alcohol is consumed and the game nears the finish.

 

Racial tension here in little ole Green Bay is not heightened depending on a situation, or whatever event is going on. As one guy I know has said to me, “our niggers know how to act,” what a sad, sad commentary.

 

There is an element here in the United States that figures that the black man-women needs to be cared for, like the old attitude of paternalism. Blacks are stupid, by and large, and therefore need to be cared for. The attitude sickens me, and is part of the reason that hate groups seem to thrive in certain parts of the United States.

 

THERE ARE THREE THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN

Number one, US citizens need to come to grips with the fact that the United States is a racist society. In the workplace, in neighborhoods, at the super-market, and on our streets, with little exception black people are not safe.

 

Whether its blacks shooting blacks, or whites shooting blacks, or mostly white cops shooting blacks…black people might need to consider themselves an endangered species. I don’t know how many black people are shot every year, but I know that it’s more than any other race.

 

And those blacks that are shot in neighborhoods, on street corners, on their porches, or while they are watching television in their homes knows no identity. Old, young, man, women, and sadly children, these killings are at an epidemic pace, if they were white people, the US Government would have stepped in long decades ago.

 

Number two, no matter the statute or law, no matter the issue or event, racism needs to be dealt with swiftly and aggressively. Old laws that favor the “Jim Crow” thinking need to be jettisoned from society.

 

And finally number three, an extensive background check for every potential gun purchaser needs to be in place as quickly as possible. The mandate should come from the Federal Government, should be all inclusive, and enacted within 90 days.

 

There should be a moratorium throughout the country until this background check becomes the law of the land. In addition every single gun shop would come under heavy scrutiny, and those that do not meet government standards will be shuttered…forever.

 

The United States has a problem, and when a country, any country, has a problem…every single citizen has the problem. It’ll take work and due-diligence by government, local, state and federal, gun owners, and those of us who do not own a weapon. It’s time for the human carnage to stop!

 

HAVE A NICE DAY!
