When I was a pup we were taught in school that the strength of this country was its diversity, the melting pot theory that different cultures blended together and the sum was greater than its parts. Course, looking back, what we were really saying was that immigrants were welcome from Western Europe. Third world countries, well, you could pick our fruit and vegetables for slave wages, we\u2019ll turn a blind eye to illegal border crossings, got to have that labor force for the jobs the white kids won\u2019t do any more. <\/p>\n
Now we\u2019re hearing that the Democrats want to homogenize the electorate, ruining the white Christian majority so they can win power pretty much for perpetuity, the reason being that foreigners won\u2019t vote for the Republican Party, evidently because that party demonizes them as rapists and drug dealers and leeches on their society. Gee, ya think?<\/p>\n
We got all kinds of names for this, white nationalism, Aryan Nation, racism, white supremist \u2026 but lately the nom de jour is the Great Replacement Theory. Sure don\u2019t want a mixing of the races or the religions. White Christian country is what they want and watering it down with inferior people is their worst fear. And they know exactly who of us are inferior people. I\u2019m not sure they really understand Christian values, but don\u2019t tell that to them.<\/p>\n
So much for the melting pot. So much for the slogan on the Statue of Liberty, \u201cGive me your tired, your poor,
\nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
\nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
\nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
\nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!\u201d
\nNo, we want to build a wall now and close that golden door. Maybe just another part of American History we won\u2019t allow to be taught to our kids anymore. Along with slavery or Japanese internment or Jim Crow or Chinese deportations or \u2026 well, anything that shadows the idea of a lily white shining city on a hill. Making America great again isn\u2019t making it white. It never was and it never will be. Jeez, give me a break\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
