Two famous Americans gained their fame fighting and winning against them. Every struggle America had with them ,the society as a whole moved forward by leaps and bounds.Today its President Barack Obama's turn to defeat them and take our Health Care System forward by leaps and bounds.
They, the poor white folks , joined the American National Family, not all came as Free men, some came here as indentured slaves, from the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean who worked in the cane fields for a minimum of five years then brought here or delivered to the USA via South Carolina. Many white southerns came to the USA via the Slave or semi Slave system.
Racism was a policy effectively used to divide the Labor population (
which consisted of white free laborers, white semi free laborers and black chattel labourers) to make them more manageable for the Big Land Owners. The anti -slavery riots throughout the Caribbean had taught the Slave masters here in America , that a strong
DIVIDE AND RULE policy was the most effective way to manage the laborers(
free, semi-free and chattel) in an Agricultural society.
White laborers desperate for respect and admiration by their White Owners and Bosses quickly embraced the fabled notion that, though economically and socially free, they were no better off, than black Slaves , the color of their skin gave them an identification with the Boss Massa Sir.
But literally nothing else.When the Confederates States of the South wanted to destroy the Union of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, they sought to build an army to physically carry out their destructive mission.
The military and political representatives of Rich White Land Owners recruited poor white semi- slave laborers with the rallying call, that President Abraham Lincoln wanted to change and reduce their status in society by FREEING THE SLAVES .
President Abe Lincoln in1865 demolished the Big White Land Owners attempt to destroy our USA. The slaves were freed, but the propaganda lies of the White politicians and Businessmen of the South never happened. White Laborers NEVER lost their status as men in the American society.
Today, Fifteen Generations later , the great , great , great grandchildren of those oppressed , exploited and indoctrinated white laborers are still holding onto, an out of place grudge and misplaced hate from the days they were lied to.
As a consequence of that chain been placed, unceremoniously around the necks of that segment of the American population of poor whites , they are continously encouraged to historically advocate for the wrong policies for America.
Permit me reflect on some of the bad choices, the Rich white Land Owners or Big Corporations, have led this segment of the middle and working class to wildly support.
Here are some:
*They were on the wrong side of the Civil War.
*They earnestly supported, ethnic cleansing policy of the Klu Klux Klan.
*They revelled in the Jim Crow policy of Segregation and State discrimination ( believing that these policies would provide an upgrade in their living and working conditions exclusively). It never happened. Some of the worst living and health conditions are experienced in the Trailer Park community.
*They shamelessly attacked Elementary and Middle school black students , on their way to get an education in desegregated public schools .
*Wild and rabblerousing protest against the Voting Rights Bill.
*Wild and rabblerousing protests against women Abortion Rights.
*Wild and rowdy support for the invasion of Iraq. (The outcome many Americans and Iraqis suffering today)
*Support for John McCain and Sarah Palin two of the worst Presidential candidates ever .
*Support for the abuse of Sick Americans and their families by Big Insurance Companies.
*Like all the other bad choices this segment of the American population has made, they will be proved to again be at the tail end of Americas progress.
What shall we do with these folks who have become victims of the worst kind of
POLITICAL INDOCTRINATION in modern American history. They are led around like sheep dogs , being pumped with the most filthy misinformation from FOXNEWS, RUSH LIMBAUGH and the BIG CORPORATE INSURANCE LOBBYISTS.
We must continue to embarass them with the
TRUTH. Their TEA PARTY AND BIRTHERS MOVEMENT WERE DESTROYED WITH THE
TRUTH. MAYBE WE SHOULD GO A STEP FURTHER AND USE THE
TRUTH TO ENCOURAGE THEM AWAY FROM THE RICH WHITE MEN THAT HAS MISLED THEM FOR 150 YEARS.
Lets use the
TRUTH TO SET THEM FREE, AND SAVE AMERICA BEFORE ITS TO LATE.
