The principles that support “the American Way” or the ideals and symbols that represent those principles have been sadly neglected in recent years, making these pockets of racist behavior all the more stark in their marked contrast.
At one time, there was a series of courses taught as part of the necessary curriculum for high school graduation, known variously as “Civics”, “Social Problems”, or “American Government”, which gave at least a general overview of what America was supposed to be, and how the various levels of government were supposed to operate. In the social revolution of the 1960’s and after, these were pretty largely purged from the core curriculum, replaced by “diversity” and emotional “touchy-feely” courses, more for indoctrination than for the development of genuine understanding of the real world.
So today a large part of the Millenials, Gen X or Gen Y, and even college students, as well as those who never even finished the requirements for high school graduation, have NO idea of just what it is that America is supposed to represent, and us older folks may still mistakenly believe that these younger folks have some understanding of just what it was that formed and shaped nearly all previous generations of Americans, and those who chose to become Americans.
Now the push is on to make “citizens” out of a bunch of people, with no close ties and not even born here, who do not even have a nodding acquaintance with what it takes to make up a representative republic.
What is wrong with this picture?
California will be purged of blacks by these new migrants. It is already happening.
“. . . with no close ties and not even born here, who do[es] not . . . have a nodding acquaintance with what it takes to make up a representative republic.”
Pretty good description of Ophonybama, I’d say!
