*NOTE: PLEASE RE-READ THE TITLE OF THIS ESSAY BEFORE GOING FURTHER. NOTICE, IT IS AIMED AT THE WHITE RIGHT. NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE. ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS ESSAY IS “ANTI-WHITE PEOPLE,” AS OPPOSED TO THAT SEGMENT OF THE WHITE COMMUNITY THAT IS RIGHT WING, CANNOT READ PLAIN ENGLISH. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.* _____
For all y’all rich folks, enjoy that champagne, or whatever fancy @$$ Scotch you drink.
And for y’all a bit lower on the economic scale, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon, or whatever sh***y @$$ beer you favor.
Whatever the case, and whatever your economic station, know this…
You need to drink up.
And quickly.
And heavily.
Because your time is limited.
Real damned limited.
So party while you can, but mind the increasingly loud clock ticking away in the corners of your consciousness.
The clock that reminds you how little time you and yours have left.
Not much more now.
Tick, tock.
Tick, tock.
Tick.
Tock.
I know, you think you’ve taken “your country back” with this election — and of course you have always thought it was yours for the taking, cuz that’s what we white folks are bred to believe, that it’s ours, and how dare anyone else say otherwise — but you are wrong.
You have won a small battle in a larger war the meaning of which you do not remotely understand.
‘Cuz there is nothing even slightly original about you.
There have always been those who wanted to take the country back.
There were those who, in past years, wanted to take the country back to a time of enslavement and indentured servitude.
But they lost.
There were those who wanted to take us back to a time when children could be made to work in mines and factories, when workers had no legal rights to speak of, when the skies in every major city were heavy with industrial soot that would gather on sidewalks and windowsills like volcanic ash.
But they lost.
There were those who wanted to take us back to a time when women could not vote, or attend any but a few colleges, or get loans in their own names, or start their own businesses.
But they lost.
There were those who wanted to take us back to a time when blacks “had no rights that the white man was bound to respect,” – this being the official opinion of the Supreme Court before those awful days of judicial activism, now decried by the likes of you – and when people of color could legally be kept from voting solely because of race, or holding certain jobs, or living in certain neighborhoods, or run out of other towns altogether when the sun would go down, or be strung up from trees.
But they lost.
And you will lose.
So make a note of it.
Tweet it to yourself.
Put it on your Facebook wall and leave it there so you’ll remember that I told you so.
It is coming, and soon.
This isn’t hubris. It isn’t ideology. It is not wishful thinking.
It is math.
Not even advanced math. Just simple, basic, like 3rd grade math.
The kind of math that proves how your kind — mostly older white folks beholden to an absurd, inaccurate, nostalgic fantasy of what America used to be like — are dying.
You’re like the bad guy in every horror movie ever made, who gets shot five times, or stabbed ten, or blown up twice, and who will eventually pass — even if it takes four sequels to make it happen — but who in the meantime keeps coming back around, grabbing at our ankles as we walk by, we having been mistakenly convinced that you were finally dead this time.
Fair enough, and have at it. But remember how this movie ends.
Our ankles survive.
You do not.
Michael Meyers, Freddie Kreuger, Jason, and that @$$hole husband in that movie with Julia Roberts who tracks her down after she runs away and changes her identity–they are all done. Even that crazy f***** in Saw is about to be finished off for good. Granted, he’s gonna be popping out in 3-D to scare the kiddies, so he isn’t going quietly. But he’s going, as all bad guys eventually do.
And in the pantheon of American history, conservative old white people have pretty much always been the bad guys, the keepers of the hegemonic and reactionary flame, the folks unwilling to share the category of American with others on equal terms.
Fine, keep it up. It doesn’t matter.
Because you’re on the endangered list.
And unlike, say, the bald eagle or some exotic species of muskrat, you are not worth saving.
In forty years or so, maybe fewer, there won’t be any more white people around who actually remember that Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Opie-Taylor-Down-at-the-Fishing Hole cornpone bull**** that you hold so near and dear to your heart.
There won’t be any more white folks around who think the 1950s were the good old days, because there won’t be any more white folks around who actually remember them, and so therefore, we’ll be able to teach about them accurately and honestly, without hurting your precious feelings, or those of the so-called “greatest generation” — a bunch whose white contingent was top-heavy with ethical miscreants who helped save the world from fascism only to return home and oppose the ending of it here, by doing nothing to lift a finger on behalf of the civil rights struggle.
It’s OK. Because in about forty years, half the country will be black or brown. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Nothing, Senõr Tancredo.
Nothing, Senõra Angle, or Senõra Brewer, or Senõr Beck.
Loy tiene muy mal, hijo de Puta.
And by then you will have gone all in as a white nationalist movement — hell you’ve all but done that now — thus guaranteeing that the folks of color, and even a decent size minority of us white folks will be able to crush you, election after election, from the Presidency on down to the 8th grade student council.
Like I said, this is math. And numbers don’t lie.
Bottom line, this too shall pass.
So enjoy your tax cuts a while longer.
Go buy whatever you people buy when your taxes get cut: a new car or two, a bigger house, an island. Whatever.
Go back to trading your derivatives, engaging in rampant financial speculation that produces nothing of value, that turns the whole world into your personal casino. Whatever.
Play your hand, and for the love of God play it big. Real big. As in, shoot for the moon big. As in, try to privatize Social Security, and health care, and everything else. Whatever.
At least that way everyone will be able to see what you’re really about.
We’ve been trying to tell them, but nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes, so “Go big or go home,” Bubba.
“Git ‘er Done.”
“Cowboy up,” or whatever other stupid catch phrase strikes your fancy.
Just promise you’ll do more than talk this time.
Please, or as one of your celluloid heroes might put it, “make my day.”
Do whatever you gotta do, but remember that those who are the victims of your greed and indifference take the long view.
They know, but you do not, that justice is not for the sprinters, but rather for the long distance runners who will be hitting their second wind, right about the time that you collapse from exhaustion.
They are like the tortoise to your hare.
They are like the San Francisco Giants, to your New York Yankees: a bunch that loses year after year after year, until they finally win.
You have had this confidence before, remember?
You thought you had secured your position permanently after the overthrow of reconstruction in the wake of the civil war, after the elimination of the New Deal, after the Reagan revolution, after the Republican electoral victory of 1994. And yet, those you thought you had cowed and defeated are still here.
Because those who have lived on the margins, who have been abused, maligned, targeted by austerity measures and budget cuts, subjected to racism, classism, sexism, straight supremacy and every other form of oppression always know more about their abusers than the abusers know about their victims.
They have to study you, to pay careful attention, to adjust their body armor accordingly, and to memorize your sleep patterns.
You, on the other hand, need know nothing whatsoever about them. And this, will surely prove politically fatal to you in the end. For it means you will not know their resolve. Will not fear it, as you should.
It means you will take their greatest strength — perseverance — and make of it a weakness, called losing.
But what you forget, or more to the point never knew, is that those who lose know how to lose, which is to say they know how to lose with dignity.
And those who suffer know how to suffer, which is to say they know how to survive: a skill that is in short supply amid the likes of you.
You, who could not survive the thought of minimal health care reform, or financial regulation, or a marginal tax rate equal to that which you paid just 10 years earlier, perhaps are under the illusion that everyone is as weak as you, as soft as you, as akin to petulant children as you are, as unable to cope with the smallest setback, the slightest challenge to the way you think your country should look and feel, and operate.
But they are not.
And they know how to regroup, and plot, and plan, and they are planning even now — we are — your destruction.
And I do not mean by that your physical destruction. We don’t play those games. We’re not into the whole “Second Amendment remedies, militia, armed resistance” bull**** that your side fetishizes, cuz, see, we don’t have to be. We don’t need guns.
We just have to be patient.
And wait for you to pass into that good night, first politically, and then, well…
Do you hear it?
The sound of your empire dying? Your nation, as you knew it, ending, permanently?
Because I do, and the sound of its demise is beautiful.
So know this.
If you thought this election was payback for 2008, remember…
Payback, thy name is…
Temporary.
He wrote this is in 2010, and the civil war hasn’t started yet?
He is projecting.
He longs for the good old days of the Soviet Superpower, and a China that was deep red instead of Authoritarian pink and yellow.
He longs for the days of the permanent Democrat House majority.
He knows his time is numbered.
Hey, I wonder, though - if this clown liked 2010, he ought to LOVE 2014! I can hardly wait to read that tirade.
You certainly have a point. And your point is much better made in one sentence than this hysterical screed, lol.
This idiot can not write coherently. It is just weird rants by someone who is probably mentally ill and has never had a real job.
I should not be surprised that he appears “regularly” on MSMNBC and CNN. I have never heard of him. Just another angry, mentally ill liberal who likes to call people racist.
I thought maybe Jarrett penned it while drinkin’ sum malt licka’
Don’t have to worry about it. The Chinese are coming.
If I were to caption that pic it would read “DUH” Personified:
The sad part is white Liberals are so stupid they don’t realize they are going to be the biggest losers when Whites aren’t the majority.
The truth is Mexicans & Blacks are the biggest racist out there and they only vote for their own and there is no way they will ever let whites rule them.
Look at cities like Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, etc they will never have anything but a Black Mayor ever again. Los Angles, San Antonio and Miami will never have anything but a Hispanic Mayor. Soon these cities won’t even have a single white on the city council or a white heading up any department or agency if they don’t already. There are will even be cities that don’t even want whites as low level government employees (It’s happening now, see Phoenix where they don’t even want white life guards at city pools)
If you’re a white no matter how good of a Liberal you are, because of your color you will be shut out and disenfranchised. The same will soon happen on state levels like in California and it will happen on the national level. Hillary gets the nod in 2016 because she is a woman and it is “her turn” but after her, no white male or white female Liberal will ever have a shot at being president again.
Worse for the White Liberal is sure Mexicans & Blacks love to vote for Progressive things as long as you keep the money flowing to them, but in reality they care little about the things white Liberals care about. They come from very Macho cultures and could give a flying fig about Feminism, Gay rights, Animal rights or the Environment.
If the Queers think old White Conservatives are evil for not letting them force their “Marriage” on everyone, just wait to see how they are treated when they are under a majority Mexican rule.
If Liberals think Conservatives want to let eeeeevvviiilll corporations pollute the environment, just wait until the millions Mexicans coming set up squatters camps at beaches and National and State parks around the country.
And ladies, I hope the free birth control Obama gives you is worth it, because all these immigrants aren’t going to be too keen on paying the Social Security for a bunch of old white childless spinsters so they can sit around and throw birthday parties for their pets.
For Conservatives, things will be bad, very bad but we will still have our areas and states where we will still be represented. If things get that bad we can secede. Liberals will be trapped and white Liberals will get the same treatment white Liberals now get in Zimbabwe or South Africa.
So this screed, written after the libs were thrashed in the 2010 elections, is this little man's idea of losing with dignity? LOL!
Notice he is not taking comments on this “piece” over on his blog — what a coward.
The ravings and droolings of a delusional psychopath dwelling in a very malignant alternate reality.
So his point is that ethnically ‘brown’ leeches will soon outnumber true Americans and vote themselves unlimited Federal benefits?
That they will finally have enough votes to take by force the value created by the productive segment of society?
And the creators of value will no longer be able to resist the leeches?
This imbecilic vision of paradise will work well in a world where food grows itself, cars manufacturer themselves, and houses build themselves.
In the REAL world these dysfunctional, resentful, lazy, stupid, spoiled, snot nosed misfits are d@mned fortunate to live in a society where misplaced ethics cause the productive citizens to support charity for misbegotten derelicts.
> Self-righteous drama queen. Fortunately for us all he too shall pass.
“queen” is about right. Drag queen. He has the high “gay” look you just can’t fake...
Thank you. That’s the difference between engineers and “sociologists”.
Check his website - he’s actually written a memoir called “White Like Me.”
You found a paragraph?
Or, as a writer, I would say: the difference between a literate person and a moron!
the guy is obsessed with white racism, every article on his blog is about it!
